About SVE

Three decades of expertise, relationships, and results in the NY Harbor petroleum market.

Our Story

Built on relationships, driven by expertise

Soundview Energy was founded by Nicholas Fasano, whose career in the petroleum industry began at Scallop Petroleum — a Royal Dutch Shell Group Company — in Houston, where he served as managing director of the light-end distillate trade group.

From there, Mr. Fasano founded Bridgeview Energy, a NY-based brokerage that became known for creative deal-making rooted in product blending, refinery processing, and products trading. Bridgeview became a conduit to processing deals for the royal family of Abu Dhabi, the exclusive bunker supplier for Poland's fishing fleet, and a premier liaison to Indonesia's LSWR market.

That global experience was ultimately focused inward on the New York Harbor, and the Soundview Energy model was born in 1991.
