| Tulsa Petroleum Company was originally established in 1906. The discovery of oil in Red Fork in 1901 set into motion the events that would forever change Tulsa, the oil boom had begun. The big strike at Glen Pool in 1905, at the time the world's largest oil find caused oil prices to plummet world-wide and made the Oklahoma and Indian Territories the center of oil exploration and speculation. By 1909, only four years after the Glen Pool strike the Tulsa city directory listed no fewer than 126 oil companies with offices in Tulsa.
In succeeding decades, the fortunes of Tulsa would be directly related to the cycles of the petroleum industry. By the time Oklahoma achieved statehood in 1907 the city had earned the title "Oil Capital of the World". It also became a respected financial center. With the huge concentration of oil companies, many were sold or closed for lack of capitalization. Tulsa Petroleum Company was one of those that was closed not for the lack of finances, but its founder John D. Hardin was killed in a dispute over a parcel of land and oil rig it owned. In 2006, MonteCristo International obtained the original name and revitalized the firm into a green energy minded corporation. Today TPC is researching and distributing green energy fuels to third world countries that have a need for trenewable fuels like ethanol and low-nox diesel for the reduction of emissions.
