What is the story of the 7 sisters? | Why is Seven Sisters called Seven Sisters?

One oil cartel is the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries,
known as OPEC, which is made up of Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, Kuwait,
Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Indonesia, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, and the United
Arab Emirates. The group was created on September 14, 1960, for the
purpose of setting oil prices by controlling oil production. They were
originally thought to be primarily Arabian, in ownership, however, it is
actually an international group, which includes Americans. The cartel
was established from an agreement signed on September 17, 1920, by
Royal Dutch Shell, Anglo-Iranian, and Standard Oil, for the purpose of
fixing oil prices. By 1949, the cartel was made up of Anglo-Iranian,
Socony-Vacuum, Royal Dutch Shell, Gulf, Esso, Texaco, and Calso. In
the early 1950’s, revelations surfaced that the oil companies would
pump the oil from the Middle East, then split the profits with the
government of the country where the oil was produced. OPEC was
formed to make people believe that the Arabian oil reserves were not
owned by non-Arabian oil companies.
Those non-Arabian oil companies are another cartel, which had been informally called “The Seven Sisters,” and control what is shipped to
the United States, and how much is refined into gas and heating oil.
Originally, it was made up of the Rockefeller-controlled Exxon
(previously known as Standard Oil of New Jersey, or Esso), Mobil
(Socony or Standard Oil of New York, which merged with Vacuum Oil),
and Chevron (Socal or Standard Oil of California); the Mellon’s Gulf
Oil; Shell (Royal Dutch Petroleum), Texaco, and British Petroleum
(Anglo-Iranian). They controlled 90% of crude exports to world markets
by controlling every important pipeline in the world, such as the 753-
mile TransArabian Pipeline, from Qaisuma in Saudi Arabia to the
Mediterranean Sea, which was owned by Exxon, Chevron, Texaco, and
Mobil. Exxon owned the 100-mile Interprovincial Pipeline in Canada;
and also the 143-mile pipeline in Venezuela. The 799-mile Alaskan
Pipeline was owned by British Petroleum and Exxon. By controlling
these, and other vital arteries, they can restrict the flow of oil, limiting
supplies to refineries.
