Connecting African resource to global markets, with discipline and a deep reading of the flows.
What we do
Hydrocarbon trading, at the heart of global flows
Oil trading is a high-value intermediation business: connecting resource to demand, at the right time, the right price, with the right logistics. Binti Invest operates across the entire hydrocarbon-trading chain — from sourcing crude and refined products to the financial structuring of cargoes, through maritime logistics and price-risk management.
Trading of crude and refined products — sourcing and placement on international markets.
Cargo structuring and financing — trade finance and tailored structures.
Logistics and maritime chartering — delivery and optimization of flows.
Hedging and price-risk management — discipline and control of exposure.
Counterparty matching — between producers, refiners and end buyers.
The global market
A strategic market, driven by volatility
Oil remains the backbone of the global energy system: close to 31% of primary energy consumption and demand of around 103 million barrels per day in 2025. For the trader, it is precisely volatility that creates opportunity — the ability to anticipate, secure and execute where others see complexity.

The new West African frontier
Senegal enters the hydrocarbon era
A historic shift is underway. In June 2024, Senegal became an oil producer with the offshore Sangomar field (100,000 barrels/day), then an LNG exporter in 2025 with the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project, shared with Mauritania. Sangomar crude already ships to China, Europe and the United States.

Potential annual value-add of local refining in Africa
The African paradox. Africa exports around 2.6 billion barrels of crude per year, but imports 1.4 billion as refined products. With refining margins of $10 to $25 per barrel, refining locally would represent up to 2.2% of the continent's GDP — a value chain still to be built.
“Real value lies not only in extraction, but in mastering the chain — from crude to its transformation and delivery to markets.”
The Binti Invest view
Our approach
Local roots, international standards
01
Respect for sovereignty
New producing nations, like Senegal, assert a legitimate demand for transparency and fairness. We create shared value, we do not extract it.
02
Local roots as an advantage
Knowledge of the ground, the institutions and regional dynamics reduces information asymmetry and lets us act where distant players hesitate.
03
Execution discipline
Compliance, traceability, rigorous risk management: hydrocarbon trading allows no approximation. Our standard is that of the world's leading trading houses.
