About · Petrum · Wholesale Energy Marketing

Founded 1995

What an independent global marketer does.

Petrum sits between oil, chemical, and gas producers and the industrial customers that rely on their output, wherever in the world they operate. We source, blend, and ship, and we manage the price, quality, and logistics so our partners don't have to.

Independent of any single refiner or producer, we aggregate supply, negotiate volume contracts, and provide flexible delivery across five continents.

We operate to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards, coordinating multi-source procurement across 60+ countries and a logistics network spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the Americas, and Africa.

What we stand for

Four principles guide every contract.

Reliability

On-spec, on-time supply backed by multi-source procurement and long-term producer agreements.

Integrity

Transparent pricing, full product traceability, and contracts honored to the letter.

Reach

Tilburg base, distribution network across 60+ countries on five continents, multi-lingual commercial team operating across every major time zone.

Transition

Actively expanding renewable and lower-carbon product lines, including HVO, biodiesel, GTL base oils, and low-carbon hydrogen, for customers worldwide.

Precision

Specs, volumes, and timing delivered exactly as contracted, every shipment, every grade.
