Refined Oil Products

The heavy part of the barrel is one of 2Rivers’ core specialties.

These dense liquid cuts, or ‘residuals,’ are crucial for refining processes, enhancing and diversifying raw material streams as density and yield adjusters or cost optimizers. Finding the right applications for these feedstocks requires deep market insight, trading expertise, and logistics skills.

Residuals are also vital for heavy marine fuels. With stringent global standards on sulfur, viscosity, and other properties, sourcing, blending and trading bunker components is complex. 2Rivers ensures compatibility and high performance, preventing sediment that could damage engines

Gasoline and Naphtha

These products are from the top part of the barrel.

Naphtha, or straight-run gasoline, is the light stream obtained from atmospheric distillation of crude oil. It serves two main purposes: as a primary raw material for petrochemical processes and as the base component for modern gasoline. To meet performance and emission standards, naphtha undergoes complex secondary processes like reforming, isomerization, and alkylation, with components blended in precise ratios. Gasoline, a staple motor fuel for over a century, continues to evolve in chemical complexity and performance.

Over the past year, we have maintained our role as a major supplier of naphtha and other light ends to refiners and petrochemical producers in Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. Our regional teams are also expanding our LPG business, focusing on the MENA region.
