Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There three major ones were:
Standard Oil of New Jersey (Esso) , also known as Exxon!. Esso is the name used outside of the U!.S!.
Standard Oil Co!. of New York (Socony), became Mobil
Standard Oil of California (Socal), became Chevron!.

There were about 30 other companies from the dissolution of Standard Oil!. However, since you mentioned the number "7," I think you're looking for the "Seven Sisters" that emerged to dominated oil after Standard OIl!.

There remaining four were :

Royal Dutch Shell
Gulf Oil
Texaco
Anglo-Persian Oil Company, now known as British Petroleum!.

Most have merged with each other:

Esso/Exxon merged with Mobil to become ExxonMobil!.

Texaco and Chevron merged, were called ChevronTexaco and now just Chevron!.

Gulf Oil was bought in parts by Chevron and British Petroleum!.

As for all the companies that emerged from Standard Oil:
