About Us

• Bassett-Hyland Energy Company is a family owned and operated Chevron jobbership that serves the Coos and Douglas County areas of Southwestern Oregon. Maurie Bassett began working for the Standard Oil Company of California in 1959. Working at first with one truck and himself as the only employee, he began delivering fuels and lubricants to loggers and dairy farmers in the Hebo/Cloverdale area along the northern Oregon coast. After several years at the coast he was transferred back to the Willamette valley where he operated the bulk plant in Stayton, serving the farming communities in that area and the logging operations of the entire North Santiam river canyon. 1970 found Maurie on the move once again as he was sent north to Camas, Washington. This operation required the addition of two drivers to serve the greater Camas/Washougal area and included the Crown Zellerbach paper mill in Camas.
