Crude Oil
CRUDE OIL - MULTIPLE GRADES
Crude grades vary by origin, quality and legitimate available supply. GSS organizes the commercial information before any introduction is considered.
Overview
What GSS does with this product
Crude oil attracts more fraudulent 'offers' than almost any other commodity, which is exactly why GSS Oil Brokers & More treats crude inquiries as a due-diligence exercise first and a brokerage exercise second. Grade, API and sulfur profile, origin, lifting terms, title chain and the authority of whoever is presenting the cargo all have to hold together before a conversation becomes an introduction.
Nothing on this page represents available inventory, an allocation or a confirmed cargo. Opportunities are presented only where an administrator has entered an actual opportunity, and every opportunity remains subject to availability, documentation and counterparty review.
