Petronas, Phoenix enter service station partnership

Petronas and Phoenix Petroleum are partnering in the Philippines to boost operations in fuel retailing and associated technology solutions. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will give Phoenix access to Petronas’ branded fuels and fluid technologies while allowing the Malaysian oil company to expand its footprint into the Philippines.

“Petronas is excited at the prospect of delivering an elevated fuel experience to customers in the Philippines. From our winning fuels derived from the Fluid Technology Solutions to our state-of-theart digital and sustainable solutions, we will continue to innovate our range of offerings to deliver a seamless experience to more road users around the world,” said Ahmad Adly Alias, VP of Refining, Marketing, and Trading Downstream Business at Petronas.

ENOC reaches 10 eLink stations

ENOC Group has opened its first eLink station of 2023 in the Kalba region, located on the east coast of the United Arab Emirates. The digital mobile fuel supply service has enhanced the convenience of motorists in the area and strengthened its environmental credentials.

The new mobile site has the capacity to fuel up to 500 vehicles per day and up to four vehicles simultaneously. It also provides an ecofriendly lighting solution to customers with the installation of solar lights.

This marks ENOC’s 10th eLink station in the UAE set up to cater customers in the residential area nearby the Amr Bin Al’s Street in Kalba as well as commercial establishments, and visitors to the east coast city. Furthermore, the company’s ‘Yes’ rewards programme is now available at eLink stations. “Building on the success of eLink stations across the UAE last year, we are continuing to fulfil our vision of meeting the energy needs of the nation with innovative fuel supply solutions in 2023,” said Saif Humaid Al Falasi, CEO at ENOC Group.

“Partnerships and collaborations between brands have been in fashion for some time now, and we’ve seen several that are especially effective in bringing together the best of two worlds. That’s what we’re doing with Petronas,” said Henry Albert Fadullon, President at Phoenix Petroleum.

The two companies entered into their first agreement in 2017 when Phoenix Petroleum acquired the entire LPG business of Petronas in the Philippines.

Petronas has presence in over 90 countries, including the largest retail footprint in Malaysia with 1,000 stations, while Phoenix Petroleum is a local company with close to 700 retail stations across the Philippines.

The eLink station does not require assembly and can easily be deployed and relocated to different locations if needed, without any downtime. The station also includes vapor recovery systems to reduce emissions while loading from storage tanks.

In addition, ENOC Link complies with international safety standards including NFPA, ADR and UL. The firm aims to expand its eLink mobile fuel station network across more locations within the UAE.
