02 / SOMO & petroleum sources

Iraqi crude.
Broader petroleum sources.

Royal M works with SOMO, Iraq’s national oil marketing company, and other refineries on crude oil and petroleum product opportunities.

We coordinate buyer requirements across product grades, volumes, destinations and delivery schedules. Each opportunity is subject to the relevant seller’s qualification process, availability and contractual terms.

Grade, quantity, destination and preferred loading period form the starting point for a buyer discussion. Availability and transaction terms require current confirmation from SOMO.

Introduce your requirement

Our role is origination and coordination. Royal M is not an authorized SOMO seller, agent, mandate holder or allocation holder, and does not represent SOMO or the Iraqi government. Crude sale contracts are between SOMO and its approved buyer. Qualification, allocation, pricing, contracting and lifting remain subject to SOMO’s decisions, applicable procedures and written terms.

03 / Trade process

From requirement
to lifting.

Royal M supports commercial readiness and coordination. The buyer follows SOMO’s direct application and transaction process.

01

Establish the requirement

Share the buying company’s profile, crude grade, quantity, destination and preferred timing. Royal M helps clarify the scope and readiness for engagement.

02

Proceed through buyer review

The prospective buyer submits through its own official company channel. SOMO assesses eligibility and determines whether the opportunity can proceed.

03

Confirm terms directly

Subject to the necessary approvals, SOMO and the approved buyer agree the applicable allocation and contract. Royal M’s services and any fees are separately agreed in writing with its client.

04

Coordinate toward lifting

The buyer meets contractual banking, vessel, documentation and lifting requirements. Royal M supports agreed coordination; SOMO and the buyer retain their respective responsibilities.
