The Scurlock Oil Company was a petroleum corporation with headquarters located in Houston, Texas.
Founded in 1936 by Eddy C. Scurlock, the company was a tank car marketer of petroleum products, which emerged as an important transporter of crude oil and condensate.
By 1982, the Scurlock Oil Company was transporting 200,000 barrels (32,000 m3) of oil a day by truck, barge or pipeline. That same year, the company was sold to Ashland Oil. When Ashland bought the Permian Corporation in 1991, it merged with Scurlock to form a subsidiary known as Scurlock Permian Corporation, which was sold to Plains All American Pipeline in 1999.

“The Bermudas are said to have been discovered by a Spanish ship of that name which was wrecked on them.... Yet at the very first planting of them with some sixty persons, in 1612, the first governor, the same year, “built and laid the foundation of eight or nine forts.” To be ready, one would say, to entertain the first ship’s company that should be next shipwrecked on to them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
