Who We Are

We operate as a midstream energy company and trusted advisory partner, supporting clients across the energy value chain. From sovereign offtake structuring to physical trading of refined products, crude oil, and industrial commodities, we bring deep cross-border execution experience. Our team works closely with ministries, utilities, and private sector stakeholders to deliver high-value outcomes in complex environments.

We are a U.S. Federal 637 License holder, enabling significant tax advantages for motor and jet fuel transactions. Fully licensed and bonded at the state level, we operate as a certified fuel supplier with a robust compliance foundation. Headquartered in Miami, Florida, and with offices in Dallas, our footprint extends throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, where we maintain active operations. As a trusted supplier to the U.S. federal government, we bring sovereign-level project capabilities and a proven track record of execution. Our strategic partnerships include ongoing relationships with refineries and trading partners across the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, and broader LATAM regions.

Vanguard Energy is a U.S.-based midstream energy and advisory firm operating at the intersection of energy, government, and international trade.

We specialize in navigating complex, cross-border opportunities where energy policy, geopolitics, and private capital converge. Whether advising on strategic exports, structuring long-term offtake agreements, or optimizing logistics across the region, our team is trusted by both public and private sector partners to lead critical transactions from concept to execution.

Our clients include ministries, state-owned enterprises, financial institutions, and independent trading firms seeking to expand their reach across Latin America and the Caribbean. We combine discretion, executional precision, and regulatory alignment to deliver results in highly sensitive and high-value environments.

We are often brought into transactions where others struggle to make sense of economic inconsistencies — such as unexplained EBITDA compression, opaque supply chains, or mismatched incentives. Our ability to reverse-engineer deal structures and understand the commercial logic from multiple perspectives has positioned us as a trusted resource to family offices, institutional investors, and sovereign stakeholders alike.

Whether advising ministries, supporting global investors, or structuring multi-jurisdictional offtake agreements, we bring clarity, strategic insight, and disciplined execution to every engagement.

What We Do

Energy Trading
We structure and execute cross-border energy transactions across crude oil, fuel oil, diesel, and other industrial commodities. Acting as principal, we ensure every deal is conducted with full regulatory compliance, operational transparency, and chain-of-custody control.
Strategic Advisory
We advise governments and corporates on offtake strategies, resource monetization, and structured financing models. Our focus includes state-linked energy supply agreements, long-term export planning, and financial mechanisms that align with national policy and international banking standards.
Government Engagement
We work with ministries, national utilities, and sovereign counterparties to unlock capital access, advance energy transition goals, and implement strategic trade policy. Our team brings both commercial acumen and diplomatic fluency to help close deals that often require multi-party alignment and intergovernmental cooperation.
Midstream & Infrastructure Solutions
We design and coordinate logistics and infrastructure across key corridors — including storage, blending, marine export, and inland transport. From terminal-level solutions to long-haul export structuring, we support commodity flows from origin to destination across Latin America and beyond.
