In the following excerpt from the Oil & Gas: Master Limited Partnerships Report, the President and CEO of Susser Petroleum Partners LP (SUSP) discusses company strategy and the outlook for this vital industry:

Mr. Dewbre: In September of last year we acquired Gainesville Fuels, which is a company that serves oil and gas drilling companies in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma, and it's a great business.

TWST: Is there anything else you would add in terms of growth and the general corporate strategy going forward?
