Abstract :Oil has been used since the world\\\'s earliest history. Sometimes for health purposes, sometimes to meet basic human needs. The global use of oil as an energy source has increased competition between countries. The discovery of oil in the Ottoman Empire dates back to ancient times. This study will examine the storage facilities of the American Petroleum Company, Standard Oil, in the Ottoman Empire between 1914 and 1922. Founded in the United States, the Standard Oil Company was a major corporation that shipped oil to many countries worldwide. Standard Oil, which opened storage facilities in various parts of Istanbul, expanded its operations by protecting its own interests and exploiting the region\\\'s strategic location. By establishing its warehouses near the piers, it sought to expand its trade volume. The warehouses established in Beykoz and Harem enabled the company to expand its domestic and international commercial activities.
