Expert crude oil sourcing, trading, and supply management from contract negotiation to vessel delivery — backed by deep market intelligence and global logistics capability.
Crude oil trading is the foundation of Alpha Petroleum's business. We operate as a principal trader, sourcing crude directly from national oil companies, independent producers, and trading houses, then supplying to refineries, blenders, and re-traders across the globe.
Our trading desk monitors global crude markets in real time — tracking Brent, WTI, Bonny Light, and over 30 crude benchmarks — to identify arbitrage opportunities and deliver maximum value to our clients.
We don't just execute trades. We build supply partnerships that create long-term value for every party in the chain.
