Getty Oil is an oil company founded by J. Paul Getty in 1964. In 1971, the Getty Realty division was formed to manage the real estate needs of Getty stations. The division was later spun off, but now owns the rights to the Getty brand. The Russian oil company Lukoil bought Getty in 2000. They have since sold Getty Petroleum Marketing to a private investment group in 2011.
