Crude oil business, General conditions

Api Energy & Metals would be delighted to enter mutual discussions for a long-term contractual to source & supply Crude Oil. Prior we applying to any Crude Oil purchase request, we should clarify a few facts which are common and well known to professional petroleum end users:
  • Crude Oil is not allowed for resale and is not a tradable commodity. So that the buyer should be an end user “Refinery only” or a Petroleum Company with a process agreement with a well-known refinery.
  • Crude Oil allocation is un-assignable contract, which means the allocation holder is the only beneficiary who should be the end user. All allocations are treated as primary transactions.
  • All sales contracts are based on a yearly commitment and settled directly between the Producer and refiner.
  • Refinery or Petroleum Company, which requests crude oil, shall submit the following documents:
  1.  Refinery Profile. 
  2.  Refinery production capacity & storage available at the refinery. 
  3.  Mandate Letter/refining agreement issued in favor of Api ( if applicable)
  4.  For the petroleum Company, please add to the above copy of the processing agreement with the refinery.
At the receiving of the above documents, Api will start the process with the producer and inform the buyer step by step about the progress in regards to obtain crude oil allocation in favor of the applicant. Api regrets not being able to supply any offer or to reply to the buyer’s inquiry for Crude Oil Supplementary unless the above documents are presented and duly verified prior we presenting them to the crude producer.
