Crude oil and refined products, supplied into your market.

International supply and procurement of crude oil and refined petroleum products across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent.

What you can source

Securing refined product or feedstock supply into an emerging market means lining up allocation, freight, inspection, and payment security for each cargo.

Grenelle is UAE-based. It supplies and procures crude oil and refined petroleum products across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent. An enquiry starts with four things: grade, volume, discharge port, and pricing basis.

Grenelle’s four product families cover seven products: crude oil, gasoline, naphtha, gas oil, diesel, jet/aviation fuel, and fuel oil (HSFO/VLSFO). Each family is set out on the Products page.

Crude Oil

The foundational input to the entire refining value chain.

As the foundational input to the entire refining value chain, crude oil underpins every product Grenelle trades. Grenelle sources and supplies a range of light-sweet and heavier-sour crude grades to meet diverse refinery configurations and client requirements.

Light Distillates

Dual roles across the energy value chain.

Light distillates serve dual roles across the energy value chain, powering light-duty road transport as gasoline while also functioning as a critical feedstock for petrochemical production. Grenelle supplies these products across various octane and spec grades to serve both fuel and petrochemical end-markets.

Middle Distillates

The backbone of global transport and industrial activity.

Middle distillates form the backbone of global transport and industrial activity, spanning road diesel, marine and power-generation gas oil, and aviation-grade jet fuel. Grenelle supplies this product family across a range of sulphur specifications and quality grades, from regional gas oil standards to the tightly specified requirements of jet fuel.

Residual Fuels

A vital energy source for marine bunkering and power generation.

Residual fuel oil remains a vital energy source for marine bunkering and power generation, particularly across transit-heavy and emerging markets. Grenelle supplies both high- and low-sulphur grades, reflecting the post-IMO 2020 regulatory landscape that continues to shape the global marine fuels market.

Fuel Oil (HSFO/VLSFO)
Details

Grenelle states typical volumes of 1–2 million bbls for crude oil. Grenelle states typical volumes of 20,000–50,000 MT for light distillates, middle distillates, and residual fuels; lower volumes may be served.
