OSL Consulting advises terminal operators, traders, and logistics companies on coordinating LPG, crude, refined products, petrochemical, and LNG cargoes — from contract to last mile.
Each service can be engaged independently or as part of an ongoing commercial and operational advisory mandate.
Structuring FOB and SPA agreements, expanding market access across the LNG, crude, LPG, and petrochemical value chains, and sharpening commercial portfolio positioning to protect margin.
End-to-end coordination of marine, rail, pipeline, and truck movements — from terminal nomination to vessel loading — with tighter scheduling accuracy and less demurrage exposure.
Demand forecasts, inventory controls, and contract-compliance processes that keep cargo movements reconciled and audit-ready.
Negotiating charter terms, resolving laytime and demurrage claims, and administering measurement and imbalance controls for crude and products.
Predictive modeling and data visualization to flag revenue-risk events early — demand shifts, counterparty exposure, pricing pressure — before they hit the bottom line.
Opening terminal relationships and agency appointments, with go-to-market plans built for the U.S. Gulf Coast and Latin America.
Designing the scheduling plans, five-year supply forecasts, and KPI frameworks that commercial and operations teams run on day to day.
Negotiating price, specifications, and logistics terms; liaising with shipping, transport, and insurance providers; and restructuring commercial contracts to safely reactivate trade in sanction-affected jurisdictions under strict OFAC, EU, and UN compliance.
Aggregate figures from mandates carried out across the professional track record — no counterparties identified.

Senior commercial operations and supply-chain professional with extensive experience coordinating physical crude oil, refined products, NGL and petrochemical movements across pipelines, marine terminals, vessels, rail and trucking. Proven experience in crude shipping and scheduling, refinery supply, pipeline transportation agreements, terminal coordination, contract volumes, cargo documentation, counterparties, tariffs, invoicing and reconciliation. Combines deep hydrocarbon operations knowledge with commercial analysis, forecasting, SAP/ETRM systems and data analytics to improve movement reliability, cost efficiency and operational decision-making.
OSL Consulting grew out of a career built at the intersection of process engineering, commercialization, and logistics: FOB cargo scheduling, terminal management, vessel chartering, and coordination with traders, inspectors, and accounting teams inside fast-paced energy trading environments.
That track record includes building commercial and logistics departments from the ground up, administering multimillion-dollar contracts, and, more recently, applying predictive analytics and AI models to anticipate commercial risk before it materializes.
The result is an advisory practice that combines technical rigor, commercial judgment, and operational execution — without relying on a single discipline to solve problems that rarely belong to just one.
