AtlasShrugged|WyattOil

The oil company run by Ellis Wyatt. Wyatt's father had squeezed a living out of the oil fields in Colorado, but when Ellis Wyatt took over the business took off. He discovered a technique for extracting oil from wells that had been abandoned as dried up. The success of Wyatt Oil that followed this discovery suddenly and unexpectedly turned Colorado into the leading economy in the country.

Wyatt Oil traditionally relied on TaggartTranscontinental's RioNorteLine to ship its oil. But when that company could not grow fast enough to keep up with the booming Colorado economy, Ellis Wyatt started using the small but well-managed PhoenixDurango instead. This prompted James Taggart to make deals with his friends in Washington to shut the PhoenixDurango down.
