Kildair Service Ltee

What Kildair Service Ltee does

Kildair Service Ltee (legal entity Kildair Service ULC) operates a petroleum storage and distribution terminal at Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, with a total capacity of approximately 3.2 million barrels. The facility has been in continuous operation since 2003 under the Kildair name, with corporate roots traceable to 1929. The terminal supports marine fuel, bunker fuel blending, liquid asphalt storage and distribution, materials handling, and product transportation using an in-house fleet. The business combines physical commodity infrastructure with logistics and specialty formulation capability.

The company's commercial reach extends across Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, and the Northeastern United States, serving industrial customers in marine, construction, and general fuel end-markets. Its product range includes both commodity fuels and custom-blended specialty products such as polymer-modified asphalt. The Sorel-Tracy position on the St. Lawrence River provides multi-modal access — marine, rail, and trucking — that underpins its cross-border service footprint.

Kildair generates revenue by charging for storage, blending, handling, and transportation of petroleum products on behalf of industrial and commercial customers. The legal entity Kildair Service ULC operates under the broader Sprague Energy corporate umbrella, as indicated by its hosting under spragueenergy.com, suggesting an affiliation that may extend distribution and procurement reach. The company is small in headcount (11–50 employees) relative to the scale of its physical asset base, indicating an asset-heavy, throughput-driven operating model rather than a labor-intensive one.
