The transaction targets cover related businesses in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam.
Under the transaction arrangement, ENEOS will, through a Singapore special purpose company, acquire a 50% stake in Singapore Refining Company held by Chevron Singapore, as well as all equity interests in several Chevron subsidiaries, including Chevron Singapore Pte. Ltd. (including its interests in Singapore Refining Company and Chevron Lubricants Vietnam), Chevron Malaysia Limited, Chevron Philippines Inc., Chevron Australia Downstream Pty Ltd, and PT Chevron Oil Products Indonesia. The transaction is expected to be completed in 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
ENEOS Representative Director and CEO Tomohide Miyota stated that the Caltex brand, cultivated by Chevron over decades, is a highly valuable business asset, and the company will not only protect its value but further enhance it. This investment is a key initiative to strengthen the business platform connecting Japan with Southeast Asia and Oceania, integrating the competitive advantages accumulated in each market to drive the group's next phase of growth. Going forward, the company will fully leverage the specialized experience, networks, and business foundations built in each market to enhance fuel product and trading capabilities, achieving sustainable growth and long-term corporate value through steady execution.
ENEOS stated that this acquisition is part of its portfolio restructuring under its Fourth Medium-Term Management Plan, aimed at focusing on overseas fuel businesses with early monetization potential. The transaction will help the company expand into the Southeast Asian market, where energy demand is expected to grow, complementing its existing business in Japan. Upon integration, the company's supply chain in the Asia-Pacific region will be optimized, and the company commits to complying with regulatory requirements and maintaining ongoing communication with stakeholders throughout the closing process.
