About Us

Napa Valley Petroleum (NVP) has proudly served the Napa Valley and surrounding North Bay counties for many years. Our journey began with the acquisition of Ed Conolly’s Mobil distributorship in St. Helena, followed by a partnership with Bill Bresciani’s Exxon Distributorship in 1987. We then brought Webb and Webb’s distributorship into the fold, solidifying our commitment to the agricultural, business, and construction communities, while also providing clean, safely operated retail outlets in the region we call home.

In 1991, John Chasuk, a visionary entrepreneur with a background in law, architecture, and culinary arts, purchased NVP from Chuck O’Conner. Over the next 18 years, John expanded the company, growing our retail and cardlock locations from just one to as many as eight. Under his leadership, NVP moved into new corporate offices and a plant located in the repurposed Langendorf Bread building, while also branching out into CNG facilities, biodiesel, and propane distribution.

In July 2009, we lost John, a true “renaissance” man whose generosity and community spirit left a lasting impact. John’s commitment to his employees and community led to five long-term employees inheriting 50% of NVP, and in 2010, they purchased the remaining 50% from John’s estate.

Today, NVP is proudly owned by four local owners who have all worked their way up from various roles within the company. Each of us has spent years learning different aspects of the business and contributing to its growth. From office work to fuel deliveries to management, we’ve gained hands-on experience and expanded what NVP offers to the community. We continue to be deeply involved in supporting local causes, from donating to local schools to sponsoring sports teams and community activities.

All four of us still have active roles in the company and work alongside our employees daily. We are committed to continuing John’s legacy of treating our customers and employees like family and maintaining the strong, community-driven values that have been at the heart of NVP since its inception.
