Statoil Fuel & Retail was a Norwegian energy retail company, formed by the 2010 separation of the downstream business of Statoil ASA into a separate listed company.
The company has 2,300 fuel retail stations in Scandinavia, Poland, the Baltic Countries and Russia as well as significant lubricants and aviation fuel operations. It was listed as a separate company on the Oslo Stock Exchange on October 22, 2010.
On 18 April 2012 it was announced that Alimentation Couche-Tard would buy Statoil Fuel & Retail for $2.8 billion and become a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Couche-Tard. The deal included the right to use the "Statoil" brand for the stations until 30 September 2019.
In September 2014, the jet fuel business of Statoil Fuel & Retail was sold to BP for an undisclosed amount.
On 22 September 2015 it was announced that the "Statoil" branding would be phased out, and replaced by Circle K as part of a global rebranding scheme involving all Couche Tard-owned retailers. The change was completed in the end of 2016.
In 2016, Couche-Tard - the owner of Statoil Fuel & Retail - decided to merge Circle K and Statoil Fuel & Retail into the Circle K brand.
Statoil Fuel & Retail is a leading Scandinavian road transport fuel retailer with over 100 years of operations in the region.
