Oil trading
Trafigura's petroleum related activities are conducted through
its offices in Lucerne, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Dubai, Houston,
London, Singapore, Stamford and through its network of branch
offices and agencies.
Crude oil is far from a homogenous commodity. The unique
molecular characteristics of each different source of crude
determine how efficiently it will process into a broad range of
derivative products, including liquid petroleum gas (LPG),
gasoline, naphtha, jet fuel, diesel, fuel oil and asphalt but also
plastics, pharmaceuticals, detergents and much else.
Awareness of movements in demand and prices for crude oil and
its products is a key aspect of oil trading. This is delivered by
Trafigura’s global network of offices and operations. Our trading
hubs’ close relationships with their regions ensure early awareness
of the events and trends that drive demand.
