Chevron expands base oils distribution network

Chevron will become the exclusive distributor of Group II base oils to US firm HF Sinclair Lubricants & Specialties in Canada from 1 May next year, as the companies adjust supply arrangements ahead of HF Sinclair's planned Ontario plant closure.

The agreement follows HF Sinclair's decision to retire its 15,600 b/d Group II/III base oils unit in Ontario by 2027. It was announced alongside a separate multi-year strategic agreement under which South Korea's SK Enmove will supply Group III base oils to HF Sinclair.

Chevron said the Canadian distribution deal is part of a broader base oils network that will continue to include Renkert Oil as a distributor for selected products. Renkert will remain Chevron's distributor for Paralux and Paramount process oils in the US, Canada and Europe. It will also continue to distribute Nexbase Group III base oils in the US and Canada, and Chevron Group II base oils in the US outside HF Sinclair's exclusive territory.

"Customers need more than high-quality products, they need confidence in their supply partner," Chevron Base Oils general manager Alicia Logan said. "By working with both HF Sinclair Lubricants & Specialties and Renkert Oil, we're building on each partner's unique strengths to deliver reliable supply, local expertise and the flexibility our customers need as markets continue to evolve."

Chevron is one of the world's largest suppliers of Group II, Group II+ and Group III base oils. The company said it plans to introduce a Group III+ offering in early 2027.
