* The steps in the commodity cycle

* The various risk types inherent to the energy business
* The risk management tools available to energy companies . . . and much more
Each chapter contains practical, real-life examples and explanations of energy-related events to explain the "science" and
"business" of energy. Tables, graphs, and diagrams reveal the complex path energy takes to reach the consumer, the risks
relating to various energy commodities, and the role of the commodity markets. For anyone working in the energy industry or
interested in energy, it is essential to have a firm understanding of the physical and financial energy markets, how these two
