Murphy Oil Corporation is a U.S.-based, independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company headquartered in Houston, Texas. Publicly listed on the NYSE (MUR), the company focuses on discovering, developing, and producing crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and natural gas. Its core operations are in North America, including the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and onshore shale resources such as the Eagle Ford in South Texas, with additional positions in Western Canada.
Murphy Oil supplies hydrocarbons—especially NGL streams like ethane, propane, and butanes—that serve as key feedstocks for petrochemical manufacturing. Formerly integrated, the company became a pure-play E&P after spinning off its U.S. retail fuel business as Murphy USA in 2013. Founded in 1950, it has a long operating history across offshore and onshore basins.
