The first half of 2018 saw many new owners for U.S. wholesale fuel terminals, with oil companies coming in and moving out.  

For example, let’s take a look back at this spring news item from OPIS:

Sunoco LP, a major fuel distributor, said it will purchase  certain assets from Superior Plus Corp. for approximately $40 million plus  working capital adjustments.

The assets consist of a network of approximately 100 dealers, several hundred  commercial contracts, and terminals, which are connected to major  pipelines serving the upstate New York market.

The wholesale fuels business  sells approximately 200 million gal of fuel annually through multiple channels.  The terminals have a combined 17 tanks with 429,000 bbl of storage  capacity.

The acquisition is consistent with Sunoco’s strategy of utilizing its scale to  grow the core fuel distribution business and adding fee-based refined product  terminals into the overall portfolio, Sunoco said.

Sunoco LP is a master limited partnership that distributes motor fuel to  approximately 9,200 convenience stores, independent dealers, commercial  customers and distributors in more than 30 states. Sunoco’s general partner is  owned by Energy Transfer Equity.
