Europe: Crude & Products Trading

Europe is a major demand centre for crude oil and refined products, with strict product specifications and well-developed logistics. It is the location of the 3FB Energy & Trade registered office in Tilburg, Netherlands.

What is Europe's role in oil trading?

Europe is a large import market for crude oil and refined products such as ultra-low-sulphur diesel. European product standards, including EN 590 for automotive diesel, set widely referenced quality benchmarks. The 3FB Energy & Trade registered office is in the Netherlands.

A major demand centre

European refiners and buyers import crude oil and refined products from the Middle East, Africa, the Americas and the former Soviet Union. Northwest Europe (including the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp hub) is one of the world's principal refined-product trading and storage regions.
