What started in 1980, originally as a company established to trade chemicals regionally, is today an internationally recognized player in the petroleum industry. Delta Petroleum is a vertically and horizontally integrated force in petroleum trading, storage, transportation and distribution in a region stretching from the Middle East to Central Asia. We are proud of the corporation Delta has grown to become and equally proud of Delta's role as a pioneer and trailblazer. Whether it be creating a “rolling-pipeline” of road tankers linking Iraq and Turkey, to making the largest investment in Georgia within the energy sector, or establishing the second-largest petroleum storage facility in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East to building the largest LPG transport fleet in the Near East, Delta's vision has left its mark on the region.

That vision and those achievements are the products of an empowering and dynamic corporate culture. Its foundations are based on an effective organizational structure and a qualified, motivated team of professionals. Our goals are to provide our customers with outstanding reliability and flexibility and to generate employee satisfaction as well as promoting innovation and creativity. To achieve these objectives, we place great emphasis on our know-how and technical skills. We are committed to absolute reliability, underpinned by flexibility as well as continuity, both in staff and strategy. This proactive culture has made us the partner of choice for many of the oil majors and other global leaders, helping Delta become a respected member of the international petroleum industry. With revenues of almost US$ 350 million, Delta has broadened its range of services and expanded its areas of operation to encompass not only the Middle East but also the Mediterranean, Black Sea and Caspian regions. These same values will be the catalyst for Delta's continued expansion.

These initiatives will be backed not only by Delta's values and vision but by a strategy designed to maximize our potential as an internationally respected petroleum services company at the crossroads of one of the world's most important energy corridors. As Turkey and the Caspian are bridges to some of the world's largest energy reserves, so too Delta Petroleum acts as a bridge between emerging markets and the developed world, with its overriding commitment to business ethics, safety and environmental protection. Delta's continued growth will come from helping our near neighbors find new markets, and by putting their natural resources to the best possible uses -- in the interest not just of today, but of generations to come. We are proud to contribute to this process by providing the energy to drive change and development in some of the world's most exciting emerging markets, while preserving our environment.
