What we do

Five ways we protect and grow your netback

We're not commodity resellers. Every engagement starts with your strategy, not ours — then we bring the trading and operational depth to execute on it.

A complimentary review of over 30 line items across your current commercial agreements in crude, gas, NGLs, power, and emissions — built to surface improved netbacks.

Energy Management

Pipeline scheduling, trucking and rail coordination, storage oversight, and counterparty exposure management across your logistics and midstream footprint.

SVC 03 · RM

Risk Management

Physical and financial hedging, position and FX reconciliation, and market fundamentals reporting so exposure is measured before it's managed.

About Global

Trading and marketing experience, put to work for your book.

Global Petroleum Marketing was founded in Calgary in 1994 to help energy companies do one thing well: capture the value already sitting inside their commercial agreements. More than three decades later, that's still the whole mandate.

We work with producers, end-users, petrochemical companies, and logistics operations across the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, offering the kind of physical and financial risk mitigation, logistics handling, analytics, and back-office support usually reserved for in-house trading desks — without the overhead of building one.

As energy companies sharpen their focus on cost efficiency, our job is to help you maximize netbacks and minimize the operational cost of energy, using judgment built from decades on real trading floors.

We don't compete as commodity resellers. We start with your strategy, then bring the experience to execute on it. Our approach
