Which oil desk inbox should receive a grade note?

Crude grades go to crude@. Product grades go to products@. A company with an existing relationship uses clients@. The page should say that split beside the addresses. Motus does not choose the grade for the visitor and does not price it.

Why remove a posted price from an oil homepage?

A posted barrel number reads as an offer, and it goes stale the same day. The homepage should name grades and inboxes instead. Motus will not type a replacement number, a differential, or a cargo offer. The firm can discuss price in a private reply if it chooses to.

What if the firm uses a terminal name?

Use the name only when the firm supplied it and the sentence does not claim Motus owns the tanks. Ask crude@ about liftings the desk already discusses is enough. A photo of tanks with a caption that offers storage is the wrong sentence. This studio has no terminal.

Can the petroleum page offer a cargo of crude?

No. The page describes grades and mailboxes for a firm that already discusses them. It does not offer a cargo, fix a lifting, or invite Motus into the trade. A visitor looking for a stem should be told, by the absence of an offer, that this is a website.

Home / Desks / Energy / Oil desks

An oil desk site that refuses a posted barrel price.

The posted barrel price on the homepage is the sentence that has to go. A visitor is not owed a number, and Motus will not type one. What belongs there is the grade list the desk already discusses, crude or products, and a clear split between crude@ and products@. A terminal the firm does not operate should not be drawn as if this studio owned it.

Delete the posted barrel sentence

Whatever number sits in the hero, whether it is labeled Brent or a product, comes off. Counterparties who already trade with the desk do not need a public figure, and strangers should not be given one. Replace it with the grades the desk will actually discuss, written as names the firm supplied. If a grade is not on that list, say the desk does not handle it.

crude@ is the door for crude grades. products@ is the door for products the firm already markets, such as a distillate or a residual the desk names. clients@ is for a company, not for a one-time grade question. Do not add a cargo size, a load port, or an offer. The never-list on this page includes any sentence that sounds like Motus is selling a barrel.

Grades the desk already names

Ask the firm for the grade names before the page is written. A page that says various crudes tells a buyer nothing and invites a price argument. Spell the grades in a plain list, and next to each one say whether crude@ or products@ should get the note. A terminal name appears only if the firm operates or routinely lifts there, and even then the sentence is ask us, not we store.

Keep last month's differential out of the news block. A differential goes stale and reads like an offer. If the firm wants a market comment, the firm writes it, signs it, and dates it, and the page still does not let Motus attach a number. The safer public sentence is which grades are in scope and which inbox is staffed on a business day.

crude@ versus the products inbox

The menu should say the split in words a new visitor understands. Crude notes go to crude@. Product notes go to products@. A company that already has credit terms goes to clients@. If one person at the firm reads all three, that is an internal choice. The public site still shows three doors so the writer self-sorts. A single info@ address is how a grade question gets buried.

Do not illustrate the page with a stock photo of a tanker and a caption that offers a cargo. The firm may say, in its own words, that it discusses barrels of named grades. Motus will not arrange a lifting, book a terminal tank, or stand in the middle of a trade. The contact form collects grade, the inbox choice, and a phone. It collects no price.

Authority fits an oil desk that must show crude@ and products@ as separate doors, plus a grade list, without a barrel number anywhere on the public page.

Motus does not buy or sell a commodity, quote a price, or arrange a physical delivery.
