Seven practical items help a petroleum supply enquiry reach the right conversation faster.
Name the product, quantity and destination
The essential starting points are the fuel grade, the required volume and its unit, and the location where supply is needed. Add the exact specification or explain which technical points need clarification.
A named destination or port makes the enquiry more concrete. If your requirement covers several locations, list them separately instead of treating them as one undifferentiated cargo.
Add timing, delivery basis and role
Tell the desk when the fuel is needed and whether the request is spot or recurring. Include a preferred FOB, CIF or CFR basis if you have one, with the named location.
Identify your company and your role as buyer, seller, broker or trader. Explain what you are requesting without claiming to have already agreed terms through the website.
Make the response easy to route
Provide a reliable email and, if useful, a phone or WhatsApp number with country code. Put the most important questions in the message field rather than sending a vague request for all information.
The Ofinan Energy RFQ checklist can be read or downloaded without submitting personal details. Use it to prepare a better enquiry, then send only the information needed for an initial response.
