Wilkes Factor is committed to upholding our reputation of excellent service to our clients which is built on:
• Consistent behavior over time
• Under-promising and over-delivering
• Protecting counterparties’ information
• Admitting when we don’t know something, and then finding out the answer
• Walking away from bad deals

By providing professional services, communication, and support, we help buyers navigate today’s international petroleum market with care and confidence.
What makes the oil and gas industry so attractive, is that over $6 trillion dollars worth of oil and petroleum products are traded globally each year. That’s more that $6 billion dollars flowing through the market every single day. The energy sector isn’t one of the the world’s largest commodity markets. It is the world’s largest commodity market.
Physical oil markets are not transparent. There is no central exchange, no public order book, no mandatory reporting. Sellers don’t know who else might need their product. Byers don’t know who else might have the product they need. This information gap costs both parties money —- every day.
The physical oil market is also fluid. It is cyclical, regulations change, counterparties fail, routes change, sanctions apply, financing structures break, inspections fail, disruptions happen. Te market evolves constantly.
The same characteristics that make oil brokering attractive also attract a disproportionate number of scammers. The large transaction values, low barriers to entry, and limited public oversight create real conditions for fraud. Understanding this isn’t pessimism —- it’s the first protection.
With all of the above in mind, Wilkes Factor maintains solid relations on both sides of the seller-buyer gap creating economic value every time we connect a seller who can’t find a buyer quickly with a buyer who can’t find a seller quickly.
