Appleton, WI –  U.S. Oil, the petroleum and renewable energy distribution division of U.S. Venture, Inc. announced today that it has acquired six terminals from Houston-based Noble Petro, Inc. The new terminals add 1.75 million barrels of additional capacity and expand U.S. Oil’s existing distribution network from 13 to 19 terminals in North America.
The acquisition includes three terminals located in high growth and demand areas of Texas, in the cities of Houston, Fort Worth, and Bryan. Additional sites include Green Bay, Wisconsin; Bettendorf, Iowa; and Rogers City, Michigan. The strategic locations provide access to the Magellan, Explorer and Chicago area pipelines and offer marine access to the Great Lakes and Mississippi River.

“This is a great growth opportunity for U.S. Oil. We are building out our terminal network supply system and connectivity to reach new markets,” said John Schmidt, CEO of U.S. Venture. “This is U.S. Oil’s fifth acquisition in three years and we anticipate more growth in the years to come.”
