Gulf Petrochem was founded by brothers Ashok Goel and Sudhir Goyel. In 1998 they obtained the rights to commission a refinery in Sharjah’s Hamriyah Freezone alongside a grease manufacturing plant producing lithium base grease.

In 2007 Gulf Petrochem entered into Fujairah through the construction of a 112,233 square metres (1,208,070 sq ft) oil terminal with a total storage capacity of 412,000 cubic metres (14,500,000 cu ft) to handle Class III petroleum products such as Fuel Oil, Gas Oil and Cutter Stock. In Hamriyah, the facility has a total of 14 tanks, with pipelines for white and black products.

In 2010 trading offices were established in Singapore and Dubai. The company is now trading in fuel, gas, base oil and bitumen with offices in 15 countries.
