For buyers

Source products and counterparties with a professional intermediary.

If you are a qualified buyer seeking crude oil or refined petroleum products, ESA Markets can help you reach suitable potential suppliers and coordinate the commercial conversation — clearly and discreetly.

The buyer process

Five clear steps

Submit your requirements

Share the product, quantity, destination, specifications and any contract requirements. The more precise your brief, the more relevant the introductions.

Initial commercial review

We review your requirement to understand its scope and commercial context, and confirm the information we need to proceed.

Identify suitable potential counterparties

We consider our network for potential suppliers whose parameters may align with your requirement.

Facilitate introductions where appropriate

Where a plausible fit exists, we introduce the relevant parties so that direct commercial discussion can begin.

Support commercial communication & coordination

We help keep the ensuing communication organised and professional while you lead your own negotiations and decisions.

What to prepare

Information to provide

Providing clear, accurate information helps us direct your requirement to the most relevant potential counterparties.

  • Product — e.g. crude oil, EN590 diesel, Jet A-1.
  • Quantity — volume required, and whether spot or term.
  • Destination / port — delivery location or discharge port.
  • Preferred specifications — grade, quality and any technical parameters.
  • Contract requirements — delivery terms (e.g. FOB, CIF), procedures and timeframe.
  • Company details — the buying entity and a point of contact.
  • Proof of capability — relevant commercial information where required to demonstrate readiness.
ESA Markets facilitates introductions only. We do not guarantee that a suitable supplier, the requested volume, specification or price will be available, or that any transaction will proceed. Verification of counterparties and products, negotiation, contracting and compliance remain your responsibility.
