Gasolina Total Compra a Esso

Nadie está hablando de esto. Ni siquiera El Nuevo Día. Acabo de encontrar una noticia donde dice que la compañía gasolinera francesa Total acaba de comprar todas las operaciones de ExxonMobil en Puerto Rico, Islas Vírgenes y Jamaica.

De MarketWatch:

PARIS (MarketWatch) — French oil major Total SA said Tuesday it acquired ExxonMobil Corp.’s marketing assets of gas stations, depots and aviation fuel retailing operations in Puerto Rico, Jamaica and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In a statement, Total said the acquisition represents a marketing capacity of around 1 million metric tons a year through a network of approximatively 200 service stations. Total said the transaction is subject to approval by the relevant authorities and is in line with Total’s development strategy. No financial details were disclosed.

Viendo como están los precios de la gasolina hoy en día, el hacho de que se pierda uno de los competidores en este espacio no es una buena noticia para nadie en Puerto Rico.
