Before it was headquartered in Houston, Citgo had its headquarters in [[Tulsa, Oklahoma]]. In 2003, the [[Governor of Oklahoma|Oklahoma governor]] [[Brad Henry]] met an executive of Citgo to discuss possible incentives that would keep the Citgo headquarters in Oklahoma.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=NewsLibrary&p_multi=OBNB&d_place=OBNB&p_theme=newslibrary2&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0FCF61DA65CE8A0C&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM| title=Governor, Citgo exec to meet to discuss possible incentives| newspaper=[[The Journal Record]]| location=Tulsa| date=August 15, 2003| access-date=February 3, 2010}}</ref> For eight months the company debated whether to move its headquarters or to keep its headquarters in Oklahoma.

At that point the company had not decided which location in Houston would have the headquarters. The company wanted {{convert|300000|sqft|sqm}} of office space to house 700 employees. Citgo considered the [[1500 Louisiana]] building in [[Downtown Houston]], the [[Williams Tower]] in [[Uptown Houston]], the [[BMC Software]] headquarters complex in [[Westchase, Houston|Westchase]], and the Aspentech Building in the [[Energy Corridor]].<ref>{{cite news| title=Citgo moving headquarters to Houston as Tulsa loses bid| first1=Jenalia| last1=Moreno| first2=L.M.| last2=Sixel| agency=Hearst News Service| date=May 1, 2004| url=https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Citgo-moving-headquarters-to-Houston-as-Tulsa-7812072.php| access-date=January 30, 2019}}</ref> In June of that year the company signed a lease in the five-storey Aspentech building so it could serve as a headquarters.<ref>{{cite news| last=Sarnoff| first=Nancy| title=Citgo chooses west Houston Energy Corridor digs| url=https://www.chron.com/business/energy/article/Citgo-chooses-west-Houston-Energy-Corridor-digs-1971235.php| newspaper=Houston Chronicle| date=June 8, 2004| access-date=January 30, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| last=Droege| first=Tom| title=Citgo prepares for move| url=https://www.tulsaworld.com/archives/citgo-prepares-for-move/article_67b2f225-3bd5-54b7-b3e4-bef310c9c369.html| newspaper=[[Tulsa World]]| date=July 9, 2004| access-date=January 30, 2019}}</ref> In September 2004 the company began moving its headquarters, and by September 24 Citgo had already relocated 150 employees to the Energy Corridor offices.<ref>{{cite news| last=Moreno| first=Jenalia| url=https://www.chron.com/business/energy/article/Houston-bound-Citgo-eager-to-get-in-growth-mode-1963804.php| title=Houston-bound Citgo eager to get in growth mode| newspaper=Houston Chronicle| date=September 24, 2004| page=Business 9| access-date=January 30, 2019}}</ref>
