U.S. Oil owns and operates strategically-located terminals in Milwaukee, Green Bay, Chippewa Falls and
Madison, Wisconsin; Cheboygan and Rogers City, Michigan; Bettendorf, Iowa; and Houston, Fort Worth
and Bryan, Texas. This creates a north to south network served by the Explorer, Magellan and
WestShore pipelines and also provides Great Lakes and Mississippi River barge access with multiple rail
facilities. Plans are underway to upgrade technologies at the Milwaukee area facility.
This acquisition strengthens U.S. Oil’s relationship with Marathon Petroleum Corporation and its
customers. “With this acquisition we will continue to service our customers through distribution,
wholesale, branded and logistics businesses,” said Mike Koel, Vice President of Business Development

“US Oil has an excellent reputation in terminal operations and management. We expect the transition
