Google Gasoil connection?

Gasoil Inc, by its filings, could be expected to be just another small Texan pretro-chemicals company listed in the Texas Oil & Gas records of the RRC.

In reality, the company is own and run by the giants of Google in what is mostly a mirror of their own executive board:

• company President is filled by Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page
• Chief Financial Officer is George Rayes
• Senior Vice-President is Omid Kordestani
• Chief Executive Office is Eric Schmidt

The only person to lose out is Wayne Rosing, who is a Senior VP at Google, but only makes VP at Gasoil.

So an investment game, fun leisure project - or are Google planning on taking over the world's oil markets? ;)

The story was picked up by Oliver Thylmann in Who the hell is Gasoil Inc
