Your energy ally in the U.S. and beyond.
BIOUS Petroleum — known simply as BIOUS — is an American energy trading and oilfield services company headquartered in Washington, D.C. We operate across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, with active development of opportunities in South America.
From six offices — Washington, D.C., Dallas, Geneva, Dubai, Amman, and Addis Ababa — we bridge traditional energy infrastructure and the clean energy transition, pairing deep regional relationships with U.S.-standard compliance on every transaction.
Our integrated offering spans crude oil, refined products, specialty residuals, and bulk sulfur, alongside forward-looking clean energy initiatives — all underpinned by transparency, long-term partnership, and responsible business practice.
BIOUS was founded and is owned by Fadi Elsalameen, who directs the firm's trading strategy and its network of producer, refinery, and institutional relationships across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Four product desks.
Built to trade by the rules.
In cross-border energy trading, compliance is the product. Counterparties, banks, and regulators can engage BIOUS knowing every transaction sits squarely inside the perimeter of U.S. law.
OFAC-authorized cross-border activity.
Our cross-border activities are conducted under authorization from the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control — a standard few trading firms in our regions can meet.
Sanctions and trade controls, transaction by transaction.
Counterparties, cargoes, vessels, and financial institutions are screened against U.S. and international sanctions lists before any commitment is made — and monitored through the life of each transaction.
KYC and AML documentation, banking-grade.
We maintain rigorous know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering procedures, with documentation prepared to the standard banking partners and regulators expect in every jurisdiction where we operate.
Six offices, one global desk.
Our ESG commitments.
Lower-emission solutions and clean technology.
We pursue lower-emission solutions across our operations, including investment in solar and clean-technology partnerships — a long-term commitment to the energy transition, not a slogan.
Community-based partnerships in every region.
We support the regional economies in which we operate. Our model prioritizes local employment, capacity building, and long-term economic benefit for the communities our work touches.
Compliance and transparency by design.
We operate in full compliance with U.S., international, and partner-country regulations, with anti-corruption and transparency standards aligned to international best practice — detailed in our compliance commitments.
Live prices, key events ahead.
Real-time benchmarks for crude and refined products, alongside the upcoming events that move global energy markets.
