About Sunoco

Sunoco supplies motor fuels and moves energy products across the United States, working through pipelines, terminals and a distribution network that reaches dealers, distributors, commission agents and retail locations. Alongside fuel, it is associated with the broader retail experience at stations, including in-store merchandise, food service, car washes, lottery sales and card processing.

The business is structured around four areas: fuel distribution, pipeline systems, refinery operations and terminals. Fuel distribution covers motor fuel and products such as propane and lubricating oil sold to third-party operators and commercial buyers, along with leased real estate. The pipeline network carries refined products, crude oil and ammonia, while the terminals segment runs transmix processing and refined product terminals and offers blending, additive injection, handling and filtering services.

Sunoco traces back to 1960 and was previously named Susser Petroleum Partners LP before adopting its current name in 2014. It is based in Dallas, Texas, and its shares are listed on the NYSE under the ticker SUN.
