Headquartered in Singapore with regional offices in Geneva (Switzerland), Johannesburg (South Africa), San Juan (Puerto Rico) and Brisbane (Australia), we are a responsible supplier and storage facilitator of high-quality petroleum products.
Our midstream line of business unlocks value with storage capacity of 16 million barrels ("bbls"). This will be increased to approximately 26 million bbls by 2014 in accordance with the capital investment programme currently being implemented and various investment opportunities being originated. It makes Puma Energy one of the largest independent fuel storage operators. The downstream business supplies gasoil, gasoline, jet and niche products (like lubricants and bitumen) to a global network of over 1,300 retail service stations, 28 airports worldwide and the construction industry. This enables infrastructure development in emerging economies.
Puma Energy is a privately owned company with two strategic partners and main shareholders - Trafigura Group and Sonangol Holdings. Although the company operates at arms-length from both, it benefits from their management expertise and market knowledge.
