OTC Oil & Gas Trading Marketplace
Private OTC marketplace for crude oil, refined petroleum products, LNG, LPG and fuel cargoes. Connect qualified buyers, sellers and brokers.
Private OTC Oil & Gas Trading Marketplace
Access a controlled B2B network for physical crude oil, refined petroleum products, LNG, LPG and related energy commodities. Qualified buyers, sellers, trading companies and OTC brokers can submit live requirements, available cargoes and term programs for targeted matching.
Financely coordinates the early OTC workflow, reviews submitted opportunities and connects commercially aligned counterparties when product, volume, geography, delivery terms, timing and transaction structure overlap.
Physical petroleum markets remain overwhelmingly relationship-driven. Buyers need credible supply. Sellers need counterparties capable of performing. Traders need commercially workable terms. Brokers need a credible route to principals rather than another uncontrolled chain of intermediaries.
Financely's OTC oil and gas marketplace creates a private environment for companies trading physical energy commodities to present actual buying requirements and available supply in structured commercial terms.
Opportunities are defined by the information that determines whether a trade can actually move: product specification, quantity, load region, destination, Incoterm, laycan, delivery basis, pricing benchmark, payment terms, inspection requirements and counterparty role.
Petroleum and Energy Products Traded OTC
The marketplace covers spot cargoes, term supply programs and recurring procurement requirements across major physical petroleum and gas markets.
Join the Marketplace as a Buyer
Buyers can submit live procurement requirements to the private network rather than circulating an RFQ indiscriminately through multiple intermediary chains.
The buy-side workflow is suitable for refiners, fuel distributors, importers, utilities, airlines, industrial consumers, bunkering companies, wholesalers and physical trading houses seeking spot or term supply.
- Submit live buyer RFQs and procurement mandates
- Define product specification and acceptable origin
- State required volume and shipment frequency
- Specify discharge port or destination market
- Define FOB, CIF, CFR, DES or other delivery basis
- Set acceptable laycan and delivery windows
- State pricing benchmark and differential expectations
- Provide proposed payment structure
- Receive relevant sell-side indications
- Move qualified matches into controlled introductions
Join the Marketplace as a Seller
Sellers can present available cargoes and term programs to qualified market participants without sending sensitive supply information through an uncontrolled distribution chain.
Participation is suited to producers, refiners, authorized physical trading companies, title holders and commercial representatives able to demonstrate a credible relationship to the underlying supply.
- Submit spot cargo availability
- Present monthly or term supply programs
- Define refinery or loading origin
- Provide product specification
- Set minimum and maximum cargo quantities
- Define loading basis and delivery capability
- State pricing benchmark and differential
- Receive commercially aligned buyer requirements
- Control when sensitive identity information is released
- Move qualified buyer matches toward direct commercial discussions
Join as an OTC Oil & Gas Broker
Established petroleum brokers and intermediaries can participate where they have credible access to a buyer, seller, refiner, trader, distributor or other principal.
The objective is to give legitimate intermediaries a more disciplined environment for presenting opportunities. Broker role, authority, representation and commercial-chain position may be reviewed before an opportunity is circulated.
- Submit buy-side and sell-side opportunities
- Identify the underlying product and transaction
- Disclose the broker's position in the commercial chain where required
- Present buyer or seller authority where available
- Access relevant requirements from both sides of the market
- Participate in Financely-managed introductions
- Keep representation and fee expectations clear
- Build direct relationships with relevant market participants
What Makes an OTC Petroleum Opportunity Matchable
A statement that someone wants to buy diesel or has crude oil available provides very little commercial information. Physical petroleum matching becomes useful only after the trade parameters are defined.
| Trade Parameter | What Members Should Define |
|---|---|
| Product | Crude grade, fuel specification, LNG, LPG or other petroleum product. |
| Specification | Required technical specification, sulfur content, RON, density or other relevant product criteria. |
| Quantity | Cargo volume, monthly requirement, tolerance and expected frequency. |
| Origin | Acceptable country, refinery, terminal, load region or excluded origins. |
| Destination | Discharge port, storage terminal, country or delivery market. |
| Delivery Basis | FOB, CIF, CFR, DES, ex-tank or another agreed commercial basis. |
| Laycan | Required loading or delivery window and expected transaction timing. |
| Pricing | Platts, Argus, Brent, WTI or other benchmark plus or minus an agreed differential. |
| Payment | Documentary letter of credit, SBLC-supported terms, cash against documents or another commercially workable structure. |
| Inspection | SGS, Intertek or other required inspection and quality procedures. |
| Logistics | Vessel nomination, tank storage, terminal capability, freight and other operational requirements. |
| Counterparty Role | Principal buyer, title holder, refinery, authorized seller, trader, mandate or intermediary. |
How the OTC Marketplace Works
Apply to Join
Buyers, sellers and OTC brokers apply through the Financely OTC Petroleum Trading Network and identify their company, role and market activity.

Review Commercial Fit
Product, specification, volume, origin, destination, delivery basis, timing, pricing and payment requirements are compared against relevant opportunities on the other side of the market.
Coordinate the Match
Where meaningful commercial overlap exists, Financely can coordinate the initial exchange and determine whether the parties are prepared to move toward an introduction.

OTC Trading and Trade Finance Under One Roof
Finding a commercially viable cargo is only one part of physical oil and gas execution. Buyers and traders may still need to fund supplier payments, margin requirements, freight, storage, inspection costs or the settlement gap between purchase and resale.
Financely separately arranges oil and gas trade finance for qualifying petroleum transactions. Structures can include revolving facilities, borrowing-base lines, pre-export facilities, documentary letters of credit, receivables finance and inventory-backed lending.
Larger physical trading companies can also use our structured commodity finance capabilities where financing needs to follow the cargo, title path, storage, buyer credit and settlement cycle.
For contracted petroleum transactions requiring transaction-specific liquidity, see our petroleum contract funding service.
Commercial Discipline Before Introductions
Petroleum markets attract a large amount of poorly sourced dealflow. Unverified allocation claims, copied offers, circular broker chains, impossible discounts and vague buyer mandates consume time without improving execution.
Financely therefore reviews transaction context before circulating opportunities through the private network. The objective is to establish enough information to determine whether the opportunity is commercially coherent and whether another member has a credible reason to engage.
- Company identity should be clear
- Buyer, seller or broker role should be identifiable
- Product specification should be commercially recognizable
- Volume and delivery expectations should be defined
- Origin and destination should make logistical sense
- Pricing expectations should correspond to the relevant market
- Payment requirements should be capable of execution
- Broker chains should be disclosed where material
- Sanctions and restricted-origin issues must be capable of review
- Counterparties should be able to complete appropriate KYC and compliance
Private Counterparty Information
Live buyer requirements, available cargoes, commercial chains and counterparty identities are commercially sensitive. The marketplace therefore operates through controlled access rather than a completely public listing model.
Buyer and seller identities can remain protected during the initial matching process. Sensitive information can be released when there is sufficient commercial alignment and the relevant parties authorize the introduction.
This allows members to test commercial fit before exposing principal identities, supplier relationships or procurement programs unnecessarily.
