United Pacific Energy Corporate History

Incorporated in April 1990, United Liquid Gas Company (ULGCo) specialized in propane and butane supply. ULGCo purchased fuel from refineries for resale to various propane retailers and end-users.

In November 1994, ULGCo purchased a 94.7% equity interest in the wholesale division of PEG, Inc. dba Pacific Energy Group. Later, in March 1999, ULGCo acquired the remaining outstanding stock of PEG, Inc. in a stock-for-stock exchange.

In 2000, the Company adopted the trade name, United Pacific Energy, to provide a uniform identity for the parent and its subsidiary.

UPE's principal sales/dispatch office is located in Reno, NV where David Humphreys and Jim Weaver manage the day-to-day operations of the Company. All accounting and administrative functions are maintained from the Auburn office and managed by Sherie Werner.
