United States Oil And Gas Corp was founded in April 2007. The Company identifies and attempts to acquire domestic oil and gas service companies that market and distribute refined fuels, distillates (which are liquid petroleum products that are burned in a furnace or boiler for the generation of heat or used in an engine for the generation of power) and propane to retail and wholesale customers and oversee the operations of the businesses it acquires. Its acquisition targets are small to mid-sized family-run companies. Oil and gas service companies typically purchase bulk fuel and propane from regional suppliers, then store, sell, and deliver the fuel and propane to local businesses, drillers, farms, wholesalers, and individuals.
