Role and Responsibilities
Sarah Blome serves as Vice President of Commodity Risk at Mobius Risk Group, where she leads the firm’s crude oil commercial advisory practice and serves as architect of CrudeHQ, Mobius’s statement intelligence and production-to-cash reconciliation platform. Her advisory practice spans upstream producer clients across nine states and the Gulf of Mexico, covering purchaser selection, contract negotiation, transportation economics, and operational integration.
What distinguishes Sarah’s commercial practice is a decade of operator-side experience that most crude marketers don’t have. Marketing decisions are rarely just pricing decisions — a pipeline connection at $0.25/bbl realized price may eliminate truck dispatch labor, reduce LOE, and remove measurement risk. The same decision looks different when made by someone who has managed the gathering system on the other end of it.
That systems-level perspective informs every client engagement, which is why her purchaser targeting methodology — built on refinery economics, transport alignment, and quality matching — consistently delivers $0.50 to $1.00/bbl improvement in realized pricing for clients new to Mobius. Clients who have sold assets have returned to Mobius when starting their next venture, a pattern that reflects the value of working with an independent advisor whose interests are structurally aligned with the producer, not the purchaser.
Sarah also leads CrudeHQ, a platform that processes crude run and revenue statements with full source fidelity, interprets purchaser revision chains rather than treating corrections as independent records, and classifies prior period adjustments across dual accounting and production timelines. She coined the Barrels of Economic Production (BEP) framework, which connects field-level production volumes to realized economic performance — giving CFOs and reserve teams a defensible basis for capital allocation decisions.
Previous Experience
Before joining Mobius in 2023, Sarah worked for thirteen years at a production entity where she managed sales of 80,000 bpd (barrels per day) across three basins with extensive experience in the Gulf and Rockies regions. Since joining Mobius her experience has expanded to most producing states. Her expertise spans upstream production analysis and downstream transportation and sales. Her non-standard marketing interactions include legal debriefs, joint venture agreements, system design and implementation, pipeline negotiations, pricing analysis, asset acquisition, and divestitures. Her history includes numerous examples of improved efficiencies, cost reduction, and revenue increases. Examples include:
- Implemented new strategies to save $10 million/year in transportation costs by identifying unused/underutilized capacity, terminating transportation agreements, and renegotiating downstream sales contracts.
- Reduced LOE by $30,000/month through collaboration with Operations
