Formed in December 1928 to ship petroleum and petroleum products, the association did a substantial business and reported advantages derived by central control and coordination of export terms and policies. Some of the members imported crude oil, refined it, and exported the refined products. In 1933 and 1934, however, the association reported a substantial lessening of exports due to the fact that a tariff placed on imports of crude oil (United States Revenue Act of 1932) had greatly reduced importation, with a consequent reduction in exports. Lower prices and keen competition of foreign producers also lessened export sales, The association was throughout its existence a member of the larger Webb-law group, Export Petroleum Association, Inc. Both associations became dissolved in 1936.
