Specialized Technical Verification API/ASTM Compliance & International Standards

Hydrocarbons Verification: Technical Certainty Before Commercial Execution

We eliminate operational uncertainty through comprehensive technical verification of TSR/TSA, Q&Q analysis under API/ASTM standards, and counterparty due diligence — ensuring commercial executions with solid technical foundation.

Direct Terminal Verification

Operational confirmation with terminals using standardized protocols

Q&Q Analysis Under Standards

API MPMS, ASTM D4052/D4177, and international sampling protocols

Technical-Commercial Due Diligence

Energy-specialized KYC/AML and operational capacity assessment

The Operational Cost of Lack of Technical Verification

In hydrocarbon transactions, unverified assumptions generate critical technical and financial exposure

Operational Delay Exposure

Demurrage from missed laycan windows, vessel waiting costs, and penalties for lifting program non-compliance.

  • Terminal delays due to unverified access
  • Pumping and transfer system failures
  • Technical specification incompatibility

Title and Encumbrance Risk

Promised inventory without terminal confirmation, title liens, or access restrictions transform commercial agreements into legal disputes.

  • Title chain verification
  • Preferential rights identification
  • Disposition capacity validation

Working Capital Freeze

Advances and escrow funds immobilized by lack of prior technical verification of Q&Q, gauging, and chain of custody.

  • Funds withheld due to technical non-compliance
  • Unbudgeted storage costs
  • Opportunity loss from compromised liquidity

Regulatory and Compliance Exposure

Insufficient KYC/AML, UBO opacity, and weak operational histories expose to frozen transactions and reputational damage.

  • Undetected international sanctions
  • Exposure to restricted counterparties
  • De-risking by banking partners

Operational Paralysis from Technical Deficiencies

Lack of strapping tables, limited manifold access, or unvalidated pumpability conditions prevent transaction materialization.

  • Unmet technical specifications
  • Unidentified infrastructure limitations
  • Restrictive operational conditions

Opportunity Cost from Inefficiency

Resources allocated to technically unviable transactions while solid commercial opportunities are lost due to lack of agile decision-making capacity.

  • Missed commercial windows
  • Misallocated technical resources
  • Loss of competitive advantage
