PHILMACA OIL AND GAS SDN BHD
Petroleum trade and counterparty due diligence
As Director of PHILMACA, I lead verification of suppliers, refineries, product owners and buyers. PHILMACA trades and resells petroleum products, including EN590 diesel, and evaluates crude-oil opportunities.
Discuss an energy trade mandate
What I verify before a deal advances
Supplier authority
Confirm who owns or controls the product, who is authorized to sell it, and which claims can be checked with the original source.
Buyer readiness
Establish who can commit the buyer, whether the commercial terms are workable, and whether the delivery and inspection plan fits the buyer’s requirements.
Origin and delivery
Check the stated origin, documents, route, and logistics parties against independent evidence. For crude grades such as ESPO or Urals, the review includes applicable sanctions and trade restrictions.
Where relationships and AI help
I use relationships across trading markets to reach the people who can confirm commercial and logistical claims. AI helps compare documents and flag inconsistent company names, dates, quantities or terms. My team follows up with the relevant people and source records before relying on those findings.
Those checks improve negotiations. We can identify which terms are ready to discuss, what evidence is still needed, and when to pause.
