"Energy trade is built on trust, precision, and the ability to read markets before they move."

With over two decades of experience in international business spanning technology, infrastructure, and energy, Javier Silva founded MEDROIL in Dubai in 2024 with a singular vision: to create a fully compliant, globally connected petroleum and gas trading company.

His network of strategic partnerships — from SOMO Iraq and Saudi Aramco to Huanbohai Energy Trading Center (HETC) — has positioned MEDROIL as a trusted counterparty for sovereign oil companies and independent refiners across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia.
