Crude-oil procurement: aligning resources and delivery with refinery needs
Organising crude grade, assay information, delivery routes and procurement cadence into a complete commercial brief.

TLA supports this business area through resource connections, requirements definition and commercial coordination. The following perspective connects product, procurement and delivery considerations.
01 / Energy
Start with refinery requirements
TLA’s energy business includes commercial development and opportunity assessment around crude oil. Initial discussions define grade, origin, available assay information and the receiving refinery’s requirements.
02 / Energy
Assess quality, source and route together
A crude-oil brief connects quality characteristics, the supplying entity, origin documentation, loading location and transport arrangements. TLA coordinates this information and organises open questions for further review.
03 / Energy
Connect individual cargoes and recurring plans
Discussions can begin with an individual cargo and develop towards recurring procurement. Quantity, delivery windows, pricing basis and receiving plans need to align for the particular cargo and route.
