⚙️ Introduction

In petroleum trading, documentation is the backbone of every transaction. Yet, behind each certificate, tank receipt, or inspection report lies a simple question: is any of this actually true?

That’s where forensic petroleum analysis comes in — the science and discipline of proving that a document reflects physical reality.
At Stratos Trading, our verification work begins where ordinary due diligence ends.

🧾 From Paper to Proof

Traditional document checks confirm what a paper says.
Forensic verification proves what a paper means.

A true petroleum report links measurable data — density, quantity, sampling timelines, inspection identifiers — to physical custody evidence.
Our analysts don’t just look for signatures; we test consistency across:

  • Technical parameters – densities, sulphur levels, flash points

  • Measurement data – tank volumes vs SGS outturns

  • Chronology – whether sampling and injection timelines align

  • Custody chain – evidence of seals, courier logs, calibration tables

When those elements line up, authenticity speaks for itself. When they don’t, risk turns red.

🔍 The Difference Between Review and Forensics

Many firms perform a “document review.” It’s a checklist.
Forensics is an audit — a reconstruction of reality.

Our reports trace the journey of the product: where it was measured, how it was stored, when it moved, and who handled it.
We integrate cross-verification with inspection agencies, terminal records, and industry databases to validate each claim.

The result is a report that not only flags inconsistencies but also provides actionable clarity — enabling decision-makers to proceed with confidence or pause before disaster.

🧠 What You Won’t See (And Why)

You won’t find our exact formulas or forensic software publicly listed.
That’s intentional.
Because the methods that detect high-level fraud are precisely what fraudsters study next.

Our clients don’t pay for curiosity — they pay for protection.
We share conclusions, not code. Findings, not full frameworks.
It’s how we maintain integrity in a market where transparency must coexist with discretion.

💡 Why It Matters

A genuine forensic report transforms speculation into evidence.
For corporations and institutions, that means:

  • Capital Protection – funds aren’t lost chasing fabricated supply

  • Compliance Confidence – documentation stands under audit

  • Reputation Security – partners trust verified data

  • Operational Clarity – decisions are grounded in fact, not forwarded files

In an industry where perception often replaces proof, forensics restores balance.

💬 Conclusion

A real forensic petroleum report is not just paperwork — it’s a safeguard.
It separates what’s claimed from what’s confirmed.

Before signing, shipping, or sending payment, insist on professional verification.
Because assumptions may be free — but mistakes never are.
