Shell Oil Products Company Description
Oil refiner and marketer Shell Oil Products US and its sister company Motiva have the US covered. It operates refineries in the western US and markets petroleum products via Shell -branded outlets in the West and Midwest. Motiva does the same in the eastern US. Together Motiva (7,900 gas stations) and Shell Oil Products US (6,000 gas stations) form the #1 US gasoline retailing business. To gain clearance to be acquired by Chevron, Texaco sold its stakes in Equilon (to Shell Oil) and Motiva (to Shell and Saudi Aramco). In 2002 Shell acquired Equilon and became Shell Oil Products US. In 2007 Tesoro acquired Shell Oil Products US' Los Angeles refinery and some 250 gas stations for about $1.6 billion.
