F. Respondent Studebaker-Worthington Inc. (hereinafter Studebaker ), is a corporation chartered, existing, and doing business under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware, with its corporate offices located at 530 Fifth Ave., New York, N. G.

H. In 1974, Studebaker had total revenues of approximately $1.3 bilion, a net income of approximately $9.7 milion, and approximately $637 milion in assets.

These petroleum operations are Pasco s sole business.

L. In 1974, Pasco had total revenues of approximately $210 milion and a net income of approximately $13 milion. M. In 1974, in District IV, Pasco was one of only two fully integrated petroleum companies which did not rank in the top 20 nationally in crude production. Pasco ranked 11th in crude production 9th in gasoline marketing, and 8th in crude pipelines in District IV. N. At all times relevant herein, Standard, Amoco, Studebaker, and Pasco sold and shipped their products in interstate commerce throughout the united States and were and are now engaged in commerce as "commerce" is defined in the Clayton and Federal Trade Commission Acts.

II. The Acquisition O. On Apr. 4, 1975, an offer was made by Standard for certain crude oil producing properties of Pasco; and by May 1, 1975, an agreement had been conditionally reached whereby Pasco was to sell seven oil and gas fields, which constitute all of Pasco s currently producing properties, and two gas processing plants to Standard for approximately $225 milion.

P. Pursuant to the sales contract, Standard agrees to dedicate to the Sinclair refinery 75 milion barrels of crude oil or the entire production of the acquired properties unti 1983, whichever is later. II. Trade and Commerce Q. The relevant geographic market is District IV. R. The relevant product market is the production and sale of crude oil. Shares in the relevant market may be determined by examining either current production or reserves.

S. Prior to the aforesaid acquisition, Standard and Pasco were substantial and actual competitors in the production and sale of crude oil.

IV. Effects of the Acquisition T. The effects of the aforesaid acquisition may be to substantially lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly in the production and sale of crude oil in District IV, in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended (15 V. C. 918); and the effect of the agreement by which Studebaker, through its subsidiar Pasco, and Complaint 86 F.

Standard, through its subsidiary Amoco, undertook to eliminate the actual competition between Pasco and Amoco may be to unreasonably restrain trade and to hinder or have a dangerous tendency to hinder competition unduly, thereby constituting an unfair act and practice in commerce, in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U. C. 1/45). These effects may occur in the following ways among others:

1. Substantial actual competition between Standard and Pasco will be eliminated;

2. The restraining influence of Pasco as a substantial, independent fully integrated competitor will be eliminated; 3. Concentration in the production of crude oil will be increased to the detriment of actual, as well as potential, competition. 4. Additional mergers and acquisitions in the relevant market may be encouraged;

5. The combination of Standard and Pasco may so increase Standard' s production and sales capability in the relevant market as to provide it with a decisive competitive advantage in the relevant market to the detriment of actual and potential competition. 6. Refiners of crude oil may be denied the benefits of price competition between Standard and Pasco;

7. Competitors of Standard in the refining of crude oil may be foreclosed from access to the crude oil presently produced by Pasco; and 8. A Pasco dependent on Standard for crude oil may be less wiling to sell refined petroleum products to independent retail marketers who compete with Standard.

The Violation Charged U. The acquisition by Amoco, acting under the direction and control of Standard, of certain crude oil producing properties of Pasco constitutes a violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended (15 C. 1/18).

v. The acquisition by Amoco, acting under the direction and control of Standard, of certain crude oil producing properties of Pasco constitutes an unfair method of competition in commerce and an unfair act or practice in commerce, in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended (15 U. C. 1/45). W. The sale by Pasco, acting under the direction and control of Studebaker, of certain crude oil producing properties to Amoco constitutes an unfair method of competition in commerce and an unfair act or practice in commerce, in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended (15 U. C. 1/45). 1571 Decision and Order DECISION AND ORDER The Federal Trade Commission having initiated an investigation of certain acts and practices of the respondents named in the caption hereof and the respondents having been furnished thereafter with a copy of a draft of complaint which the Bureau of Competition proposed to present to the Commission for its consideration and which, if issued by the Commission, would charge respondents with violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended (15 U.
