Welcome to Chesapeake Petroleum

Chesapeake Petroleum is the leading oil distribution company the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

When Rex Davis founded Chesapeake 50 years ago, part of his vision and business strategy was to support other fledgling companies in our distribution chain. Often this included loaning equipment, giving generous payment terms on inventory, and helping them increase their sales.

Not surprisingly, many of those companies succeeded and remain our most loyal customers today.
