About Northwind Petroleums
An Alberta-incorporated mandate and trade representation firm, built on verifiable process rather than promises.
Our Story
Four Decades of Alberta Corporate Standing
Northwind Petroleums Limited Partnership was incorporated in Alberta on March 9, 1981 (Corporate Access Number 202604542), and operates from Calgary — the historic centre of Canada's energy sector.
We act as an authorized mandate representative on behalf of refining principals, managing the introduction, qualification, and documentation process that connects verified supply with qualified, vetted buyers. We are an intermediary, not a producer, trader of record, or holder of buyer funds.
What Guides Us
Principles We Hold to on Every Engagement
Confidentiality First
No pricing or principal-specific detail is shared before a mutual NDA is in place.
Verification Before Commitment
Both principal authority and buyer standing are verified before terms are negotiated.
Standard Documentation Only
We work within ICC Incoterms and UCP 600 practice — no invented instruments, no shortcuts.
Bank-Mediated Payment
Payment moves bank to bank against documents — Northwind never collects or holds funds.
Named, Reachable Representation
Every mandate is scoped, dated, and tied to named individuals — not open-ended authority.
Direct Communication
Principals and buyers can always be put in direct contact once both sides are verified.
