Costa Rica News – Valero Energy Corp. has won a bid to supply fuel to a refinery in Costa Rica, Reuters reports.
Valero will supply Costa Rica’s Recope refinery with 14.25 million barrels of ultra low sulfur diesel, jet fuel and motor gasoline.
The order breaks down to 6.9 million barrels of ULSD; 6.05 million barrels of gasoline and 1.3 million barrels of jet fuel. Financial terms of the agreement were not released.
