Soundview Energy Inc.

What Soundview Energy Inc. does

Soundview Energy Inc. is a privately held, full-service fuel procurement and risk management company operating in the NY Harbor market since 1991. Founded by Nicholas Fasano (formerly Managing Director of light-end distillate trading at Scallop Petroleum / Royal Dutch Shell Group, and founder of Bridgeview Energy), the company provides physical distillate, residual, and renewable fuel supply across wholesale cash markets. Its core offering combines physical fuel procurement with synchronized financial hedging, eliminating unhedged exposure across all product grades simultaneously. The company operates four terminal positions (Bronx, Brooklyn, Newark, and expanding) with multi-modal logistics coordination across barge, pipeline, rail, and truck, along with ISO-certified inspection oversight.

SVE's technology stack includes proprietary in-house platforms for demand forecasting (calibrated to NY Harbor seasonality, weather, and regulatory mandates), inventory shaping (tank allocation and demurrage optimization), hedge synchronization (financial futures positions synced with physical inventory), and forward-curve analysis. These tools are extended to clients through web-based platforms, including a Lifting Analysis Dashboard providing live terminal BOL data, customer lifting patterns, volume trends, and at-risk account alerts. The company also operates an SMS-based intraday spot desk that pushes discounted NYMEX-priced offers to opted-in wholesale customers in real time.

The business model is transactional (margin on physical fuel procurement and sales) supplemented by risk management services and customized pricing programs (fixed-price, cap, collar, Argus-plus, NYMEX-plus, and intraday spot). SVE serves wholesale fuel distributors, NYC heating oil market participants (requiring R10/R20 ULSHO blends under NYC Local Law 119), maritime vessel operators (HVO bunker fuel for IMO 2020, EU ETS, and FuelEU Maritime compliance), and mid-market commercial accounts. The company operates in complete partnership with Approved Oil Company (established 1932), which provides 65+ trucks, deep-water terminal positions, and established retail distribution across NY Harbor. Revenue is generated from commodity spreads on physical fuel, derivative-based risk management fees, and logistics coordination margins.
