About this title

Synopsis:

The book seeks to deploy the experience of its authors to meet the needs of the trading community and the much wider audience of professionals in industry, finance and the legal and regulatory sectors who may need an overview or deeper understanding of how trading works in practice. You may need this knowledge to fulfil specific fiduciary or executive responsibilities, or because you simply feel better for knowing how one of the world s largest commodities is bought and sold. The analysis provides a realistic business-like view of oil trading activities from the well-head all the way through the refinery to the end user. It covers upstream pricing for cost recovery, profit share and taxation purposes. The discussion and analysis take the reader down the supply chain through pipelines, ships, storage and into the hands of refiners, explaining the contractual arrangements at each stage of the supply chain. It analyses why seemingly similar grades of crude oil can command vastly different prices and explains in detail the strategic and operational hedging policy judgements that have to be made, including the instruments and the tactical challenges faced by industry buyers and sellers, hedgers and speculators.
