We specialize in the physical trade Naphtha. We have been sourcing our Naphtha from Iraq. Purchasing it though special agreements and bids with the Iraqi State Oil Marketing Company.
We load the cargo ex-refineries by our own trucks and transport it to the ports. From there we load onto vessels to AG (Arabian Gulf). Once at its destination port, the product is sold to various oil majors and buyers.
In 2014 and 15 alone, we sold over 400,000 TONS of naphtha. We continue to be a reliable source to meet the supply needs of our customers. From end-to-end we operate and maintain the complete logistics setup and operation for Naptha physical supply.
Naphtha and gas oil refinery outputs depend on the composition of feed crude petroleum utilized and in turn the crude oil regional source. Crude oil extracted from Middle Eastern fields has different properties from that extracted in Alaska. Crude oils with an API gravity of 30° or more produce larger amounts of products such as naphtha, kerosene, and light gas oils than those with an API gravity of less than 30°. In addition, naphthenic crude oils tend to produce relatively greater quantities of naphtha than the paraffinic crudes of the same specific gravity, which produce higher relative amounts of gas oils.
Petroleum naphtha is an intermediate hydrocarbon liquid stream derived from the refining of crude oil. It is most usually desulfurization and then catalytically reformed, which re-arranges or re-structures the hydrocarbon molecules in the naphtha as well as breaking some of the molecules into smaller molecules to produce a high-octane component of gasoline (or petrol).
A colorless, volatile petrolium distillate, usually an intermediate product between gasoline and benzine, used as a solvent, fuel, etc.
The primary uses for naphtha and gas oil are the production of fuels, gasoline for naphtha, and diesel for gas oil. A secondary use for naphtha is as a feedstock for steam cracking to produce petrochemicals (ethylene, propylene) and the production of aromatic petrochemical products (benzene, toluene, and xylenes).
