Murco Petroleum

Murco Petroleum Ltd is a United Kingdom–based oil refining company. It was set up by Murphy Oil Corporation in 1960. The company owns a forecourt based chain of Costcutter convenience stores.

In 1981 Murco purchased a 30% stake in Amoco's Milford Haven Refinery and in 2007, they purchased the remaining 70%. In November 2014, it was announced that Milford Haven Refinery was to close, with the loss of around 350 jobs.

In October 2008, they purchased Petrol Express Limited for £52 million from its parent company GNE Group, and the 63 sites brought Murco's total number of petrol stations to 230.
