A Calgary-based commodity desk covering crude oil, refined products and marine fuels — procurement strategy, counterparty due diligence, and transaction advisory for principals who move real barrels and real capital.
Start a conversation What we doEvery engagement runs on the same rules we apply to our own physical deals: index-linked pricing, verified counterparties, documented evidence, and no exceptions.
Structured physical purchasing programs — Western Canadian crude, Jet A-1, marine bunkers — built on benchmark-linked pricing, phased volume ramps, LC-backed credit structures and independent inspection at every lifting.
