Register as a CITGO Hydrocarbon Business Commercial Counterparty (i.e., Customer and/or Supplier)

Registering as a prospective CITGO commercial counterparty allows us to perform initial screening of your organization for consideration as a supplier or customer of hydrocarbons (e.g., crude, feedstocks, refined products, petrochemicals, lubricants) and related services (e.g., transportation services, market intelligence services). Upon successful completion of this initial screen, your candidacy will be forwarded to the CITGO business representative(s) associated with the business unit(s) with whom your organization wishes to engage. This process ensures that viable business opportunities receive attention.
