Supplying public buyers and large programmes

Governments, utilities and large contractors have specific needs: deliveries matched to receiving infrastructure, payment structures their treasuries can support, and procurement that must stand up to scrutiny. Petrolity structures supply around all three.

Infrastructure-led delivery

Volumes, vessel sizes and parcel sizes planned against the buyer's ports, storage and road capacity, with phasing as demand and capacity grow.

Payment that works

Escrow, letters of credit confirmed by third-country banks, prepayment and offtake-backed structures, chosen with the buyer's treasury and its correspondent banks.

Documentation that stands up

Every cargo carries an auditable trail — origin, inspection, sanctions screening and chain of title — for the buyer's auditors, lenders and development partners.
