Refined Petroleum and Gas Sourcing for Institutional Buyers
Financely acts as a mandated sourcing agent for qualified buyers seeking refined petroleum products, natural gas, LNG, LPG, hydrocarbon gas liquids, marine fuels, aviation fuels and related energy products. We identify credible supply routes, coordinate commercial engagement and connect procurement with trade finance where required.
Minimum contract value: US$5,000,000.
Submit a Sourcing RequestA Mandated Sourcing Agent, Not an Anonymous Fuel Broker
Financely represents qualified buyers that have a defined product requirement, delivery route, transaction value and capacity to perform. We do not circulate anonymous soft corporate offers, unverifiable refinery allocations or documents assembled through uncontrolled broker chains.
Our mandate is to understand the buyer's commercial requirement, identify a suitable supply route, organize engagement with credible counterparties and coordinate the transaction toward a contract. Where funding is needed, our trade finance capabilities allow us to assess the proposed payment structure alongside the physical sourcing mandate.
Our sourcing work is designed for:
- Licensed fuel importers and distributors.
- National and regional energy companies.
- Utilities, airlines, shipping companies and industrial buyers.
- Established commodity traders with verified end buyers.
- Mining, construction and infrastructure operators.
- Government agencies and approved procurement contractors.
- Terminal, storage and downstream distribution operators.

LNG
Liquefied natural gas supplied through cargo, portfolio or approved terminal-linked structures.
LPG
Liquefied petroleum gas, including commercial propane, butane and specified LPG mixtures.
Pipeline and CNG
Pipeline natural gas and compressed natural gas where infrastructure, regulation and delivery access permit.
NGL and HGL Products
Ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane, pentanes plus and related gas liquids.

Product terminology: requests using legacy or non-standard labels must be translated into a current recognized specification. Product grade, sulfur content, test method, origin, inspection standard and delivery basis must be clear before supplier outreach begins.
Our International Supplier Network
Financely maintains an international network across refiners, national and regional oil companies, licensed wholesalers, established commodity trading houses, gas marketers, terminal-linked suppliers, storage operators and specialist product distributors.
We combine direct commercial relationships with carefully managed professional channels. The objective is not to produce the longest possible supplier list. It is to identify counterparties capable of delivering the required product, specification, volume and destination under a commercially executable contract.
Global Market Coverage
Supplier discovery across major refining, trading, storage and export centers, subject to current availability and compliance.
Counterparty Screening
Corporate, commercial, sanctions and transaction-level checks before progressing sensitive negotiations.
Structured Execution
Controlled engagement built around a defined mandate, specification, delivery route and payment structure.
Why Trade Finance Matters in Petroleum Sourcing
Physical supply and financing cannot be separated. A supplier may require a documentary letter of credit, standby letter of credit, prepayment, deposit, bank guarantee or another acceptable payment structure. A buyer may have a legitimate purchase contract but still be unable to meet the supplier's financial conditions.
Because Financely also provides petroleum trade finance advisory, we can assess the commercial contract alongside the proposed funding route. This helps prevent situations where a buyer spends months pursuing supply that its bank or finance provider will not support.
| Requirement | Sourcing Consideration | Trade Finance Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier Payment | Supplier requires reliable payment before or against delivery. | DLC, confirmed LC, prepayment finance, SBLC or another approved structure may be required. |
| Inventory Period | Product may remain in storage before resale or consumption. | Inventory finance, collateral control and insurance may support the holding period. |
| Buyer Receivables | The end buyer may pay after delivery. | Receivables finance can address the period between delivery and collection. |
| Repeat Shipments | A term contract requires capital across recurring delivery cycles. | A revolving trade facility or borrowing base may be more suitable than one-time financing. |
| Cross-Border Risk | Origin, route, destination and counterparties affect executability. | Banks review sanctions, AML, KYT, country risk and documentary controls. |
Buyers can also review how letters of credit support oil and gas purchases and how structured oil and gas trade finance facilities can support recurring commercial flows.
Commercial Eligibility and Fees
| Minimum Contract Value | US$5,000,000 in aggregate contracted product value. Smaller requests are generally outside our sourcing mandate. |
| Sourcing Retainer | US$50,000, payable under the sourcing retainer agreement before the active mandate begins. |
| Finder's Fee | US$200,000 to US$1,000,000 depending on contract value, product, jurisdiction, complexity and execution scope. |
| Exact Fee and Trigger | The exact finder's fee and its contractual payment trigger are agreed in writing before work begins. |
| Third-Party Costs | Inspection, legal, compliance, escrow, banking, logistics and other third-party costs are separate where applicable and subject to the relevant party's terms. |
| Supplier Pricing | Product price, freight, insurance, storage, inspection and delivery charges are separate from Financely's professional fees. |
The US$50,000 retainer is not a fuel deposit. It compensates Financely for mandate analysis, specification review, counterparty mapping, supplier outreach, commercial coordination and transaction management. It does not represent payment for petroleum products and does not guarantee that a supplier will approve or close the transaction.
How Our Sourcing Mandate Works
What We Require From Buyers
Defined Requirement
Exact product, recognized specification, quantity, delivery basis, destination and required delivery period.
Verified Buyer
Identifiable purchasing entity, beneficial ownership, website, operating history and authorized representative.
Commercial Capacity
Evidence that the buyer can fund, finance or support the proposed purchase under acceptable payment terms.
Import and Storage Capacity
Required licenses, terminal access, storage arrangements and ability to receive the product.
End-Buyer Evidence
Where the applicant is a trader, evidence of the downstream buyer, contract or established distribution route.
Compliance Readiness
Willingness to complete KYC, AML, sanctions, source-of-funds and transaction-level checks.
We do not accept: anonymous buyer mandates, unverifiable proof-of-funds documents, requests built around long broker chains, sanctions evasion, requests to alter product origin, fictitious tank documents, requests for upfront supplier banking details or transactions based on guaranteed discounts that cannot be commercially supported.
Submit a Petroleum or Gas Sourcing Request
Complete the form with specific commercial information. We will review the request and, if we believe the requirement can be fulfilled, send a sourcing retainer agreement for consideration. Do not submit passports, complete bank statements or other highly sensitive documents through this initial form.
Structured Sourcing for Buyers Ready to Perform
Our supplier network, transaction structuring capabilities and trade finance experience allow us to assess both sides of the transaction: whether credible supply can be identified and whether the proposed payment route can support a closing.
Submit a complete request. If the requirement is within our execution capabilities, we will respond with the next steps and a proposed sourcing retainer agreement.
