A specialist broker built
on a decade of B2B trust
KTECH Energies is the petroleum brokerage division of KONAN Technologies — over a decade of experience in complex B2B transactions.
Who we are
KTECH Energies
KTECH Energies is a specialized petroleum brokerage division of KONAN Technologies, based in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. We facilitate international transactions in crude oil and refined petroleum products across Africa, Europe, the Americas and Asia.
Our approach combines deep market knowledge, rigorous financial verification and a transparent transaction process aligned with ICC and ISBP 745 standards.
We work exclusively with verified counterparties — established refineries, national oil companies, licensed traders, and institutional buyers in regulated markets.

Our role
Why specialised brokerage matters
We filter out the noise
The international petroleum trade attracts a high volume of unverified intermediaries and fraudulent offers. Our role is to filter signals from noise — ensuring only legitimate counterparties reach the negotiation table.
We keep the chain clean
A petroleum transaction generates a complex documentary chain across legal, financial, technical and logistics dimensions. We coordinate that chain to ensure consistency at every step from LOI to discharge.
We bridge geographies
Time zones, banking holidays, customs procedures, port logistics — execution risk lives in the gaps between jurisdictions. Our role is to compress those gaps and keep the deal moving.
What we do
How we add value across the transaction
A petroleum deal moves through sourcing, verification, structuring, logistics and settlement. At each stage a specialist broker closes the gaps where value leaks and risk hides — connecting verified supply to qualified demand under documented procedure.
Market access
Working relationships with refineries, national oil companies and licensed traders across four continents give buyers access to verified supply and sellers access to qualified demand. Our role is to open the right door — and close the ones that lead to unverified intermediaries.
Counterparty due diligence
Before any introduction, both parties pass KYC and AML checks: corporate registration, beneficial ownership, banking capacity, and proof of product or off-take rights. No party reaches the negotiating table until due diligence is complete.
Transaction structuring
We shape each deal into a bankable structure — from LOI and ICPO through SCO to a binding SPA aligned with Incoterms 2020 and ISBP 745 — and coordinate the payment instrument, whether documentary LC, SBLC or MT103, protecting intermediaries with NCNDA/IMFPA.
Shipping coordination
We coordinate the physical movement of cargo under FOB and CIF terms: vessel nomination and Q88, laycan and charter-party alignment, port and customs clearance, and delivery to the agreed discharge port — alongside established shipowners and chartering brokers.
Quality assurance
Every cargo is inspected by an independent inspection agency at loadport and discharge. Quantity and quality are certified against the contractual specification before payment is released, protecting both sides from disputes.
Risk & sanctions
We screen every counterparty and instrument against sanctions and fraud indicators, authenticate banking instruments through official channels, and enforce a strict zero-advance-fee policy. Deals that cannot meet these standards are declined, regardless of size.
