About Betel Energy

International Oil Products Trading Business

Betel Energy LLC is a young company with an ambition for growth, established to operate in international petroleum product wholesale trading.

Since 2011, we have been engaged in delivering marketing services for participants across the global Oil & Gas sector — facilitating communication between sellers and buyers (or their authorized representatives) to, on the one hand, help sellers expand their market presence and strengthen their offering, and, on the other hand, enable buyers to capitalize on compelling trading opportunities, including economies of scale. Our focus has always been to support end buyers and direct suppliers in successfully closing bulk transaction deals.

Considerable Business Contacts Provide the Best Opportunities

Over the years of providing marketing services to stakeholders across the hydrocarbons industry worldwide — and gaining deep insight into how oil and fuel trading operates — we have learned not only to identify opportunities and evaluate counterparties, but also to establish enduring relationships that create exceptional conditions for business growth.

The founder and CEO of Betel Energy, Mr. Sergey Butsenko, has built and cultivated extensive business relationships with partners across the United States, Europe, and the CIS countries for more than a decade, creating a strong foundation for continued growth and the company’s transition to the next level.

To bring the business forward, we draw on our experience, opportunity assessment, analytics, and robust strategic partnerships, enabling us to take the role of deal makers — active parties to transactions — rather than that of a conventional commodity broker.

Having begun in the commodities and services sector in early 2011, we have learned to recognize true professionals within the Oil & Gas business and have formed strong relationships with reliable strategic partners and trade specialists — relationships that today represent our most valuable asset.

Reliable Sources of Fuel. Unprecedented Access to Petroleum Products and Pricing

Since March 2012, we have maintained an excellent rapport with one of our major U.S. partners, a company whose presence in the oil industry dates back to the mid-1970s. Through this relationship, we enjoy access to some of the world’s strongest fuel providers, offering highly competitive pricing within the marketplace.

We work with several reliable partner sellers who source fuel globally and who, with longstanding expertise in trading, have developed deep relationships with numerous crude-oil-producing companies around the world. Our suppliers include petroleum-producing countries, refineries, and Allocation (Title) Holders — ensuring consistency and reliability in supply.

A broad range of fuels, crude oils, and refined products is available from our partner Title Holder sellers in the United States (WTI crude oil, ULSD, A1 jet fuel); Russia (aviation kerosene JP54 or A1, Gasoil EN590/0.02/AGO and others, fuel oils, REBCO and ESPO crude); the Middle East (various light crude grades); Africa (including BLCO); and other well-established suppliers such as Petronas, BP, Total, and more.

Direct relationships between our partner sellers (Allocation Holders) and refiners associated with major international Oil & Gas companies grant Betel Energy unprecedented access to petroleum products and the most competitive prices.

One of our top sellers, enjoying dual status as an Approved Supplier for the U.S. Department of Defense, has the legal capability to purchase products directly from foreign refineries or at the wellhead. This unique position provides access to sources typically unavailable to most foreign entities — a meaningful competitive advantage.

All our partner sellers and buyers are respected market participants with established reputations in the supply and consumption of petroleum products. They represent reliable refinery-level suppliers and trustworthy end buyers, including end users, end burners, and experienced trading firms.

Full Analytics and the Capability to Rapidly Adapt to Market Fluidity

Long-term, stable relationships between our sellers (Title Holders) and refineries allow us to obtain first-hand market information, enabling rapid responses to market changes and minimizing exposure to oil and fuel price volatility.

With access to comprehensive market intelligence, we develop strategies designed to ensure the profitability of our potential deals, even under conditions where the market environment may be unstable.

Flexible Approaches

Our existing relationships with partners allow us to apply flexible business strategies suited to the specifics of each trading opportunity. Betel Energy can execute purchases independently, through a Joint Venture, or via participation in a Bank’s Oil and Fuel Trading Platform.

Leveraging a wide range of strategies and approaches — including various models of transaction financing and banking tailored to each deal — we are able to operate through multiple mechanisms to secure consistent and maximized returns.

Foothold for Business Development

Our four core strengths —

• unprecedented access to competitively priced petroleum products from reliable refinery-level providers;
• working exclusively with established suppliers (sellers) and high-credit buyers;
• strong market insight, comprehensive analytics, and rapid adaptability to market dynamics;
• flexibility in business models and operating strategies —

form a solid platform for conducting a safe and profitable petroleum product trading business on an ongoing basis.

These cornerstones provide us with a strong foothold for further development and business transformation, grounded in a long-term, integrated, and committed approach to petroleum product trading.

With these capabilities, Betel Energy LLC — registered in June 2019 and focused exclusively on international wholesale petroleum product trading — is pursuing partnerships with lenders, investors, and financial institutions for mutually beneficial cooperation and the realization of promising opportunities.

Betel Energy Takes Great Pride in Delivering the Results Partners Expect

Presenting our capabilities to potential financial partners, we are confident in the prospects for successful collaboration. The opportunities available allow us to generate returns on investment materially higher than those typically available in the broader market, while fully ensuring transaction security and capital protection — an approach fully aligned with investor expectations.

As a company in its start-up phase, Betel Energy places exceptional emphasis on establishing long-term, mutually beneficial, and trust-based relationships with financial partners — investors seeking to grow their capital through our capabilities.

Having worked diligently over the years and established relationships that open significant opportunities in the fuel sector, Betel Energy takes great pride in its ability to deliver the strong, tangible results that partners and investors expect and deserve.
