The building is named for American petroleum and natural gas exploration company Marathon Oil. The company was headquartered in this building for over thirty years, until it relocated in 2021.[3] The building has since undergone a rebranding process and is now officially known as 5555 San Felipe.[4][5] In addition Aon Corporation has its Houston offices in the tower.[6]
