IIRC Standard Oil of New Jersey became esso and then XOM. Standard Oil of Indiana became Amoco and then BP. ( I’m sure there is more info online though its too late at night for me to look it up:))

Different Standard Oils.
Standard Oil of New Jersey became Esso and Exxon.
Standard Oil of Indiana became BP. Or more exactly was bought by British Petroleum and rebranded.
