Vitol is a privately held energy company headquartered in Rotterdam, founded in 1966, managing commodity flows and physical infrastructure across oil, gas, power, and renewables. The company sources from producers and refiners, trading over 7 million barrels per day of crude and products while chartering approximately 6,000 ship voyages annually. Operations include terminals, storage, and a global network of energy infrastructure. Vitol has committed over $2 billion to renewable projects and sustainable energy solutions as part of a stated strategic shift. Technology is built and maintained in-house across a suite of proprietary applications supporting trading, risk management, and logistics operations.
Vitol uses Oracle (Oracle Database, Data Guard, RAC, RMAN), Python, R, MATLAB, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, .NET, C#, TypeScript, React, FastAPI, and ASP.NET Core. Excel and VBA remain widely used for analytics and modeling.
Active projects include greenfield risk and PnL engine development, applications landscape transformation, commodity trading tools, landfill gas-to-energy projects, GIS-based systems, facility commissioning, and corporate compliance framework implementation.
