Technical Overview
The MLG Trading Division operates a strategically diversified portfolio of energy commodities, with a primary emphasis on crude oil and refined petroleum products, augmented by select transitional and niche resources. Our trading operations are anchored in real-time physical market intelligence, integrated supply chain infrastructure, and advanced structured trade finance solutions, enabling optimized risk-adjusted returns across volatile market cycles.
Crude Oil
Crude oil constitutes the cornerstone of our global trading framework, supported by optimized supply origination, agile market penetration strategies, and comprehensive risk mitigation architecture. Our trading desks execute transactions exceeding five hundred thousand barrels per day, leveraging strategic access to over 5 million barrels of commercially positioned storage capacity across key logistical and pricing hubs worldwide.
Crude Oil
- Light Sweet Crudes (e.g.: Brent, WTI, Sahara Blend)
- Medium and Heavy Sour Crudes (e.g., Basrah Heavy, Maya, Urals, Dalia)
- Opportunity Crudes and Blends (tailored for specific refineries or processing needs)
Key Capabilities in Crude Oil Trading:
- Physical Trading and Arbitrage:
Our traders identify and act on physical dislocations between supply sources and demand centers—leveraging arbitrage across regions (e.g., Atlantic Basin vs. Asia-Pacific), quality differentials, freight economics, and refinery margins. - Diversified Sourcing:
We maintain long-term procurement relationships across OPEC, non-OPEC, and independent producers. This includes both large-scale cargo offtakes and niche arrangements with smaller producers through structured pre-financing and tailored supply contracts
Refined Products
- Gasoline and Reformates
- Gasoil and Diesel (ULSD, Low Sulfur Gasoil)
- Jet Fuel / Aviation Kerosene
- Fuel Oil (HSFO, VLSFO, IFO 180/380)
- Naphtha and LPG
Other Commodities (on demand or as part of asset-backed strategies)
- Natural Gas and LNG
- Petrochemical feedstocks (e.g., condensate, methanol)
- Biofuels and sustainable transition fuels (e.g., HVO, biodiesel)
Our integrated trading systems are supported by proprietary logistics, storage assets, and refining partnerships, allowing us to respond flexibly to market dislocations, arbitrage opportunities, and tailored client demands.
