1962:   B/A acquired the Anglo-American Exploration Company Limited from the Sam and Carl Nickle Group of Calgary. This gave B/A approximately 700 Purity 99 service stations and outlets in western Canada and Ontario.

B/A initiated procedures to purchase the Royalite Oil Company Limited, which resulted in Royalite shares increasing in value by 90% over the next year. B/A purchased Superior Propane which marketed propane gas in Ontario and Quebec.

1963:  B/A acquired a major interest in Anglo-Canadian Oils Limited. With Anglo-Canadian, Royalite, Purity 99, and Red Head, B/A continued to market products under these names without the general public knowing that B/A owned these companies. B/A now had over 9,300 service stations and various other outlets under these 5 brand names and accounted for 25% of all the service stations in Canada. B/A was reported to be the second largest oil company in Canada, ranking behind Imperial Oil. When drilling a well near Swift Current, Saskatchewan, B/A struck a huge volume of helium and formed an equal partnership with the British Oxygen Company of England and L'air Liquide of France to form Canadian Helium Limited to process and market the helium.
