Ewing Oil Company is a fictional oil company from the television series Dallas. The company was founded by John Ross "Jock" Ewing, Sr. during the Great Depression.
Jock Ewing founded Ewing Oil in 1930 and ran it until 1977, when he retired as Chief Executive Officer. He retained his seat as Chairman of the board. His years of leadership were ones of solid expansion in what Jock knew best - bringing up oil out of the ground. The company's substantial natural gas leases were almost incidental in the beginning; they were a kind of well-why-let that land-go-to-waste-we-might-as-well-get-something-if-not-oil venture. His company was a strong example of the Independents who survived over the iff many didn't]: prudent sense, a game plan of research/acquisition/ a no-nonsense approach based on the Puritan work ethic, a word stood on a handshake, and a virtual army of loyal employees who carried out orders.
