INTERNATIONAL PETROLEUM REPRESENTATION

Feedstock / Petroleum products

Crude oil sourcing & commercial coordination

Crude oil sourcing begins with the grade and the receiving refinery’s acceptance criteria. A country name alone does not describe the feedstock or establish its origin.

Grade, assay and refinery fit

Identify the crude grade or blend, a representative assay and the receiving refinery’s technical acceptance requirements. API gravity and sulfur are useful screening indicators, but a full evaluation can also require distillation, metals, acidity, salts and water data.

Origin and custody chain

Verify origin and the chain of commercial rights for the proposed cargo. A loading port may differ from the country of origin. The seller’s right to sell, terminal release and export documentation should refer to the same transaction and grade.

Pricing and quantity basis

A crude offer should name the benchmark or pricing method, differential, pricing period, quantity unit and tolerances. Agree the conversion and measurement basis; apparent discounts cannot be compared reliably when the underlying terms differ.

Loading and delivery requirements

Share grade, parcel size, laycan, receiving location and vessel limitations. Transaction planning should align nomination, inspection, title transfer, payment and claims. No refinery affiliation or cargo allocation is implied by this product page.

Define your requirement.

Share the grade, quantity, destination and timing. Product availability remains subject to confirmation.
