World Fuel Services has agreed to acquire Eden Prairie, Minn.-based  Western Petroleum, including its branded aviation fuel distribution  business, for $95 million. The $95 million purchase price could be  increased by up to $20 million if Western’s net assets exceed an agreed  target at completion of the deal, which is expected this month.  Miami-based World Fuel Services currently provides aviation customers,  including corporate aircraft operators, with fuel supply, credit and  fuel-price risk management services, ground handling arrangements,  overflight and landing permits, flight planning and weather information.  Most of these services are provided via its Baseops division.
