Gulf Energy Operations announced a new alliance with Chevron Products Company that will allow the companies to come together in Gulf Energy’s Alabama, Florida and Mississippi Gulf Coast regions.

"We are proud to partner with Gulf Energy," said Erik Gebhardt, Chevron southeast district sales manager. "Their established presence and operational excellence make them an ideal ally for Chevron as we look to expand our footprint and better serve our customers across the Gulf Coast.”

The agreement allows Gulf Energy to distribute Chevron and Texaco products through its network, including Gulf Energy and Gulf Retail Operations. In a press release, the company said, “This alliance is poised to bring substantial economic benefits to the Gulf Coast, supporting local businesses and fostering job creation.”

“This announcement marks a significant accomplishment for all those involved. Teaming up with Chevron will allow us to offer our customers access to quality energy products and leverage Chevron’s strategic assets along the Gulf Coast to ensure stable supply,” said Joel Poe, founding partner, president and CEO of Gulf Energy. “Our mission is to support the communities and industries across the Gulf Coast with innovative energy distribution and logistics solutions. We are proud to have Chevron play a part in that.”

Last month, Gulf Energy announced its partnership with 68 Ventures. Gulf Energy said the partnership with the real estate developer would rapidly expand its fuel distribution network and new-to-industry convenience store portfolio, and the two aim to have new storefronts open within the next 12 months.

Poe said Gulf Energy and 68 Ventures decided to collaborate due to their shared vision for the Gulf Coast. “We are committed to being change agents for the overall success and development of this region. The energy aspect is a crucial piece of that vision. Both companies see this as an opportune moment to combine our resources and expertise to address the increasing demand for high-quality fuel and premier convenience store locations,” he said.
