Chevron Expands North American Base Oil Distribution Network

Chevron is expanding its North American base oil distribution network through new arrangements with HF Sinclair Lubricants & Specialties and Renkert Oil. Effective May 1, 2027, HF Sinclair will become Chevron's exclusive distributor of Group II base oils throughout Canada and within HF Sinclair's existing U.S. customer territories.

The agreement also gives HF Sinclair non-exclusive distribution rights in selected additional regions of the United States. Renkert Oil will continue distributing Chevron Group II base oils throughout the United States outside HF Sinclair's exclusive territories, as well as retaining responsibility for NEXBASE Group III base oils in the United States and Canada.

Chevron said the expanded network is intended to provide customers with dependable supply, local inventory, technical support, and broader access to its base oil and process oil portfolio. 'Customers need more than high-quality products, they need confidence in their supply partner,' Alicia Logan, general manager of Chevron Base Oils, said.

The agreements divide territories and product responsibilities between the two distributors, giving Chevron broader regional coverage without replacing Renkert's established role. HF Sinclair brings an established Canadian presence, regional U.S. infrastructure, logistics capabilities, and customer relationships to the partnership.
