So, probably not common enough to “imagine” one at Jefferson, Silica or Kokomo, but certainly common enough to run some tank cars on their way to Breck or Leadville.
If you're modeling the mid to late 1920s, lettering might be an issue though, the big CONOCO didn't come around until the early 1930s, then green letters on silver cars, as in Chris's Morrison CONOCO thread. I believe Doug Heitkamp posted this photo of a CONOCO car in the mid to late 1920s:
