For procurement, finance and commercial teams who buy fuel or carry oil-linked risk — and want a second pair of eyes from someone who has sat on the other side of the table.
Oil-related decisions with P&L impact. A quick call, a focused view, a clear answer — when the timing is short and the stakes aren't.
Oil markets, contracts, and commercial strategy. Sustained work on exposure, contract structure, and where the real value sits.
Oil-linked exposure tracked over time. A steady second pair of eyes on the positions you carry and the markets that move them.
20 years in the oil industry as trader, originator, refinery planner, and commercial project manager covers most sides of an oil contract: writing them, pricing them, hedging against them, executing on them, and watching them survive (or not) when the market moves. I have sat on the supply side, the offtake side, and the optimisation side. I know where the value sits, where the risk hides, and what tends to get missed when contracts are written by people who have never had to trade out of one.
Now working as an independent advisor for procurement, finance and commercial teams who buy fuel or carry oil-linked risk — and want a second pair of eyes from someone who has sat on the other side of the table. If you'd like to talk something through, get in touch. Or find me on LinkedIn.
Audited a portfolio of procurement contracts. Evaluated the commercial terms, risks, gaps, and embedded option positions. Created an overview to track overall performance. This analysis enabled improved risk management, forward planning, better optimisation, and will help steer future contract negotiations.
Mapped multiple offtake locations, fuel pricing, logistics, and supply chain back to crude benchmarks. Quantified total exposure including natural offsets. Provided an overview of hedging options and where to go for execution.
Provided quick hands-on market analysis with the main dynamics relevant for terminals. Valued different options the terminal could offer along with how traders would look at the tanks — helping the terminal achieve solid business cases on a small investment with a dense spot price increase.
Send over what you're looking at. A short description and the timing is enough to start. I'll come back fast.
