The record of facts, kept for governments.

In the first quarter of 2026, AI-generated and digitally manipulated documents overtook physical forgery as the dominant identity-fraud method for the first time on record. The traditional markers of a trustworthy trade document — a seal, a signature, a letterhead — have lost most of their evidential value. A claim can no longer be trusted because it looks correct; it can only be trusted because it has been checked against an independent primary source that the party making it does not control.

Each publication below applies that principle to one market: what has changed in its petroleum position, where counterparty risk now falls, and what independent verification can and cannot do about it. Each states its limitations as plainly as its findings.

Eurabelt Fuels Ltd is a petroleum procurement compliance and verification institution operating across four jurisdictions. We onboard and verify buyers and sellers, match verified principals, and monitor the structuring of the transactions that follow. We take no title to cargo, trade on no account of our own, and hold no commercial position in any transaction we verify — the parties negotiate and execute through their own teams.
