Oil And Gas Trade Finance
Large oil and gas transactions rarely move on open account terms. Counterparties want bank-backed payment assurance before loading crude or releasing refined products.
Letters of Credit (LCs) sit at the center of this system. They allow buyers to purchase cargoes without prepaying cash while giving sellers confidence they will be paid if documents are compliant.
Financely advises oil and gas traders, refiners, and distributors on structuring LC-backed transactions and securing issuance through banks and private credit partners.
A single crude cargo can exceed USD 50 million. Refined product parcels are often USD 5 million to USD 30 million. Few trading companies want to place that amount of cash upfront for each shipment.
Letters of credit shift payment risk from buyer to issuing bank. The seller relies on the bank’s creditworthiness rather than the buyer’s balance sheet alone.
Simple framing: in oil and gas, banks do not finance barrels. They finance paper, contracts, and controlled flows of title.
Payment occurs immediately upon presentation of compliant documents.
Payment occurs 30, 60, or 90 days after shipment or document presentation.
A second bank adds its confirmation, reducing country and bank risk for the seller.
Allows intermediary traders to pass LC benefits to upstream suppliers.
Most trading firms do not self-fund cargoes. They rely on a combination of:
The LC becomes the anchor instrument that allows additional financing layers to attach.
For larger facilities, lenders typically require comprehensive security consistent with All-Asset Lien Packages.
LC issuance is not a retail banking product at scale. It is a structured credit decision.
Financely acts as a transaction-led advisory firm that:
Our packaging follows memo-grade standards similar to Trade Finance Underwriting Memo.
Together, these allow traders to turn contracts into repeatable volume.
Financely operates as a transaction-led capital advisory desk.
We help oil and gas market participants raise debt and secure LCs through banks and private credit funds.
