Simar Chahal
LinkedIn profile (linkedin.com/in/simar-chahal-02461526/) claims employment as Chevron "Group Chief Executive Officer" since August 2002. Chevron's actual Group CEO is Mike Wirth (in role since February 2018; prior: John Watson 2010-2018, Dave O'Reilly 2000-2010), publicly documented in Chevron 10-K SEC filings and chevron.com/about/leadership. Simar Chahal has never held that role. The claim is verifiable fraud. Used as the buyer-side origin for two cargo-scale "Chevron procurement" pitches that collapsed under verification (25,000 MT RON 95 to Mombasa; light naphtha LR1/LR2 to Japan), both routed through fictional intermediaries (SSW Kafcima, Arrakis Development, Exxon Global Distributor).

The pitch patterns behind these records →Questions people ask about Simar Chahal
Is Simar Chahal legitimate or a scam?
Simar Chahal is a confirmed fraudulent counterparty, first-party investigated by OilFlow after a real cargo-scale pitch routed through this network. It does not appear on OFAC, UN, EU, or UK HMT sanctions lists. This record reflects OilFlow's own investigation, not a sanctions designation or court ruling.
Why is Simar Chahal flagged when it isn't on any sanctions list?
Sanctions lists only catch parties that have been formally designated. Most cargo-scale fraud runs through entities that have never been listed. This record exists because a real pitch involving Simar Chahal was investigated first-party by OilFlow and matched documented broker-scam patterns, the exact gap that 8-list screening alone misses.
