Petrolodex — Fuel Supply Made Simple, Direct, and Globally Reliable



If you've ever tried to buy fuel, jet fuel, diesel, or crude oil in bulk for your business, you already know how confusing the process can get. There are brokers, middlemen, agents, suppliers, refineries, and a dozen different price quotes — and somehow, by the time the number reaches you, two or three other people have already taken a cut along the way. By the time your tank is full, your budget is gone.

We're Petrolodex, and we built our company to fix exactly that.

We are a global fuel and chemical trading company headquartered in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Our office sits at Office 1904, DAMAC XL Tower, 216 Marasi Drive, Business Bay, and from there our team works with buyers and suppliers across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific.

This page is written by our team here at Petrolodex — the people who answer your inquiry, place your cargo, and confirm your cargo at port. We want to walk you, in plain language, through who we are, what we sell, and how working with us actually feels day to day.




What Petrolodex Actually Does

Petrolodex is a wholesale fuel supplier and trading company. That means we buy petroleum products — crude oil, diesel, jet fuel, fuel oil — directly from refineries and national oil companies, then sell and ship those products in bulk to qualified business buyers around the world.

The single idea behind everything we do is this: we trade principal-to-principal.

"Principal" means we are the actual party holding the product. We are not a broker passing your order to someone else. We are not an intermediary taking a margin on top of someone else's margin. When you buy through Petrolodex, you are buying from us — directly, with one accountable number on the contract and one team responsible for execution.

That single change — cutting out the middleman chain — saves our buyers money, reduces paperwork, and turns a shady corner of the fuel market into something transparent and predictable. It's the reason our company exists, and it's why most of our long-term customers first came to us in the first place.




Our Products — What You Can Buy Through Petrolodex

We focus on the petroleum and chemical products businesses actually need in large volumes. Here's what we currently supply, in layman's terms:

1. Crude Oil (Unrefined Petroleum)

Crude oil is the raw product that refineries turn into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other fuels. We supply several grades directly from national oil allocations:

  • Basra Heavy Crude & Basra Medium Crude — sourced directly from SOMO (Iraq's State Oil Marketing Organization), shipped CIF to your nominated safe port.
  • Bonny Light Crude — direct allocation from NNPCL (Nigeria's national oil company), supplied CIF to any safe port worldwide.
  • Sarir & Messla Crude — directly from Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC), shipped FOB from Hariga or Tobruk.
  • Pricing is benchmark-driven, tied to Platts Brent or Platts FOB Italy (depending on origin) with transparent discounts, full SGS inspection, and official assays from the producing country.

2. EN590 10 PPM ULSD (Ultra-Low-Sulfur Diesel)

This is the standard high-quality diesel fuel used by road transport, generators, marine operators, mining, construction fleets, and industrial buyers across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. "10 PPM" means the sulfur content is so low the fuel meets the strictest emissions rules worldwide.

  • Prompt availability: 100,000–300,000 MT, U.S. or Mexican origin, FOB from Houston, Corpus Christi, Olmeca, or Pajaritos.
  • Long-term contracts: 12-month minimum, 50,000–300,000 MT per month, CIF to Fujairah, Rotterdam, Houston, Singapore, Hamriyah, Mersin, or your nominated port. Pricing tied to Platts NWE, with bigger-volume discounts available for 24+ month deals.

3. Jet A-1 Aviation Fuel

The kerosene-based fuel that commercial airlines, cargo carriers, and private aviation operators burn every day. We supply both prompt and long-term volumes:

  • Prompt availability (Singapore): 2,000,000 barrels single cargo, FOB Vessel Take Over at Jurong, non-sanctioned origin.
  • Long-term contracts: 12-month minimum, 50,000–300,000 MT per month, CIF to any major aviation hub. Meets ASTM D1655 and Def Stan 91-91 international aviation standards.

4. Heavy Sour Fuel Oil (HSF)

A thick, high-sulfur residual fuel primarily used in power generation, large marine vessels, and industrial boilers. Sourced direct from Libya's NOC, FOB Tobruk, with SGS/Saybolt inspection, no upfront payment required, and an ATV issued for buyer testing before delivery.

5. Chemicals (Beyond Fuel)

Although fuel is our core, our trading desk also handles selected industrial and commodity chemicals at scale — useful for buyers who want to consolidate their bulk procurement with a single, reliable counterparty.




Our Services — How We Actually Work With Buyers

Buying bulk fuel isn't just sending money and waiting for a ship. There are documents, inspections, payment instruments, and compliance checks at every step. We've built our service so you only deal with one team — ours.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

Direct Refinery & Government Sourcing

We work directly with refineries and national oil companies, not through a chain of brokers. Every cargo we offer has a verifiable origin, official documentation, and a seller who is on record.

Flexible Pricing Programs

Fuel prices move daily. Whether you want a fixed price to lock in your budget, an index/floating price tied to Platts to ride the market, or a hybrid collar with a cap and floor, we structure the contract around what protects your margins — not what protects ours. (You can read more in our guide on fixed vs floating fuel pricing.)

Secure Payment & Documentation

Every transaction uses internationally recognized instruments — Transferable LC, DLC MT760 + MT103, SBLC, or TT/SWIFT — paired with SGS inspection, full assay reports, and Resolution No. 136 compliance documentation. Your bank, your legal team, and your compliance officer will all have what they need on day one.

Global Logistics & Delivery

We handle FOB (Free on Board), CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight), and TTV (Tank-to-Vessel) deliveries to nearly every major port on six continents. Whether your cargo leaves Jurong, Rotterdam, Fujairah, Houston, or Tobruk, our logistics team coordinates lifting, inspection, and title transfer in lockstep.

Compliance You Can Verify

All products are sourced from non-sanctioned origins, fully compliant with U.S., UN, and EU sanctions frameworks. We won't offer you a deal that puts your business at regulatory risk — ever.




Why Buyers Choose Petrolodex

Most of our customers come to us after spending months — sometimes years — buying fuel through brokers who couldn't tell them exactly where the product was coming from, who was taking margin on top, or whether the contract terms were even real.

When they switch to us, three things usually happen:

  1. The price drops — sometimes meaningfully — because the broker chain quietly stacking margin between you and the fuel is gone.
  2. The paperwork gets cleaner — one contract, one counterparty, one set of verifiable documents per cargo.
  3. The relationship gets long-term — buyers who start with one cargo typically move into 12- or 24-month supply contracts, because direct supply actually works at scale.

We're not the biggest fuel company in the world. But we believe the future of this industry belongs to companies that trade transparently, source directly, and treat buyers like partners — not invoices.

That's the bet Petrolodex was built on. And it's the same bet every member of our team makes every time we pick up the phone.
