Puma Energy International is a rapidly expanding, midstream and downstream oil company operating in 32 countries worldwide. Headquartered in Geneva (Switzerland) with regional offices in Johannesburg (South Africa), San Juan (Puerto Rico) and Singapore, we are a responsible supplier and storage facilitator of high-quality petroleum products. Our midstream line of business unlocks value through the (re)development, effective management and “de-bottlenecking” of infrastructure and supply chain systems. With storage capacity of 4.5 million m³ spread across our global locations, the 2012 expected throughput volume is 25 million m³ making us one of the largest independent fuel storage operators. Our downstream business supplies gasoil, gasoline, jet and niche products (like lubricants and bitumen) to a global network of over 1,300 retail service stations, 28 airports worldwide and the construction industry. This enables infrastructure development in emerging economies. Our expected 2012 sales volume is 10 million m³ as we maintain our focus on high-margin growth markets of developing countries.
