A Few Words About Us

Ed Ellis
Ed Ellis our CEO and founder of Ocean Petroleum, LLC.

I founded Ocean Petroleum in 1976 determined to operate this business with the highest of ethical and professional standards. Over the years Ocean Petroleum has worked diligently to attract, retain and promote people that share that goal. It's my hope that any person that works with me honors that corporate objective and dedicates themselves accordingly.
Everyone at Ocean Petroleum is proud of our endorsement by the Washington Maryland Dealers Association which has recognized Ocean Petroleum for its honestly and integrity in its dealings with its members.

Our History

In 1976 Ed Ellis, a former Exxon Marketing Employee, founded Ocean Petroleum. The young company began with one retail gas station in Ocean City, MD. Shortly thereafter, Ocean Petroleum became an Exxon Branded Fuels Distributor and began to market Exxon branded gasoline and diesel all over the Delmarva Peninsula. Ocean Petroleum added Sunoco in 1991, Amoco/BP in 1996, Citgo in 1999, Mobil in 2009, Crown and Gulf in 2010.

As it grew, Ocean Petroleum worked hard to keep pace with its customers increasingly sophisticated needs. It continuously adopted emerging technologies and added increasingly, sophisticated marketing "know how" to its list of customer services. Over the years Ocean Petroleum has become a source for not only a full slate of branded and unbranded motor fuels at competitive prices, but also provides its customers with guidance in site selection process, design and engineering, zoning and permitting, construction coordination and marketing of fuels, convenience items, as well as beer and wine.

Now Ocean Petroleum proudly serves a diverse range of over one hundred private and public sector customers throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. After 35 years in business Ocean Petroleum continues to put its customers first, focusing on quality business practices with the highest degree of professional ethics.
