Commodity FX. Protected margins.

We structure forward contracts that lock the GBP equivalent of your expected USD lifting receipts at the budgeted rate. The contracts are sized and timed to your production calendar — so as each USD payment lands from your offtaker, you draw down the hedged allocation and convert at the pre-agreed rate. This helps mitigate the FX variable in your operating margin and gives you certainty for budgeting and investor reporting.

Yes. We can hedge a specific lifting date, a rolling series of liftings, or a full 12–24 month production hedging programme — whatever matches your commercial agreements and budget cycle. For complex structures with variable lifting schedules, we build flexible hedge programmes with partial drawdown and top-up mechanisms so you're never over-hedged on a slow month.

We can place political risk insurance for upstream concessions, production assets, and offtake agreements in frontier and emerging markets. Coverage typically includes expropriation and nationalisation, contract frustration, licence cancellation, civil unrest and political violence, and transfer and convertibility restrictions. Coverage is placed through specialist underwriters with deep energy sector expertise and is tailored to each specific asset and jurisdiction.

We provide a multi-currency payment infrastructure that allows you to send payments to drilling contractors, service companies, royalty owners, and local suppliers in their preferred currency — at institutional FX rates, typically same-day on major corridors. This replaces the correspondent banking chains that add cost and delay to international energy payments, and consolidates your payment flows through a single relationship.

Yes — and this is one of our core differentiators for oil and gas clients. We can structure a trade finance facility to fund equipment procurement or supply chain pre-payments, while simultaneously hedging the FX exposure on those commitments. This means your finance and FX strategies are fully aligned from the outset, with a single team managing both — simplifying execution and ensuring the economics are optimised across the whole transaction.
