A&O Shearman is representing Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) (“Sunoco”), on its USD600 million pending acquisition of Offen Petroleum, LLC (“Offen”).

Offen, headquartered in Commerce City, Colorado, is a distributor of gasoline, diesel, and other fuels and lubricants across the Midwest, Mountain West, and Southwest regions, and distributes over 2.5 billion gallons of fuel annually to over 7,000 customers. 

Sunoco is an energy infrastructure operator and fuel distribution master limited partnership operating across 33 countries and territories in North America, the Greater Caribbean, and Europe. It distributes over 15 billion gallons annually to approximately 11,000 Sunoco and partner-branded retail locations, as well as independent dealers, and commercial customers.  

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. 

“We are pleased to continue supporting our long-standing client, Sunoco, on this significant acquisition to strengthen its fuel distribution platform. This transaction underscores A&O Shearman's deep commitment to supporting clients in complex energy and infrastructure M&A across the globe.”

The A&O Shearman team was led by M&A partner Robert Cardone alongside associates John Kurtz, Steven Sklyarevskiy, and Gabby Aiosa-Perrin. The team was also supported by partners Ryan Bray, Noah Brumfield, John Cannon, Ken Rivlin, and Carolyn Stoner, counsels Ryan Leske and Maria Christopher Bell, and associates Michael Buiteweg, Nicole Payne, Alexandra Kasper, Emma Schaechter-Santander, and Yoel Katz.
