From a live parcel to a clean lift record.
Crude brokerage has enough moving parts without making trust context another private thread. Drumchord keeps the commercial path legible from first match through settlement.
- 01 · Discovery
See parcels and tenders that fit.
Start with structured crude opportunities: grade, benchmark, volume, route, timing, and deal type are visible before you invest your desk’s time.
- 02 · Counterparty
Meet firms with a recorded posture.
Vetted refiner, mid-streamer, and distributor profiles give the first conversation useful context without pretending a badge replaces diligence.
- 03 · Credit
Check the line before the bid.
Counterparty credit-line visibility moves a key question earlier: understand the recorded limit and tenor before pricing, allocation, or lift planning.
- 04 · Commission
Keep the economics disclosed.
The applicable commission band is visible to both sides across cargo sizes, so the broker’s value is clear before the match closes.
- 05 · Settlement
Leave a memo for every lifted parcel.
A settlement memo trail keeps the parties, product context, terms, and lift acknowledgement connected to the close instead of disappearing into inboxes.
The details a crude broker needs before saying yes.
Drumchord is not the principal and does not turn verification into a guarantee. It gives a broker the right signals early enough to make a better commercial decision.
KYC tiers by operating role
Refiners, mid-streamers, and distributors can enter through role-specific KYC context, giving a broker a clearer view of who is on the other side of the opportunity.
Credit-line visibility
See the counterparty’s recorded credit posture before the conversation becomes a bid. The signal is time-stamped context, not a promise of solvency or performance.
Disclosed across cargo sizes
From smaller spot parcels to larger tender classes, the rate band is named upfront and shown consistently to both sides. No late fee surprise.
A trail after the lift
The settlement memo preserves what was agreed around the lifted parcel: parties, crude specification, commercial terms, and acknowledgement fields.
A disclosed band for the class you are moving.
Crude desks do not work in one generic ticket size. Drumchord keeps the rate conversation tied to the cargo class, with the applicable band visible before a match is accepted.
- Spot parcel
30k–100k bbl
For prompt parcels where route, grade, and timing need a fast, comparable starting point.
Band shown before accept
- Tender cargo
100k–500k bbl
For larger crude tenders with a defined bid window, benchmark context, and counterparty prerequisites.
Band shown to both sides
- Term / index
Scheduled lifts
For repeat or index-linked movement where the settlement trail needs to remain readable across each lift.
Per-class economics
Rates are disclosed before the match closes; the recorded band is not a guarantee that a trade will settle.
