I work in Oil & Gas research, whats up?
What research do you do, what are you sources? future of oil and gas? What does a typical day look like?
What are some qualities you look for in Associates for your team?
Unforseen - attention to detail and having the ability to develop and express an opinion are crucial
Interested as well. For someone who is out of the industry what sources would you reccomend reading up on to become familar with O&G. I follow companies (CHK,EOG,SD) and listen to / read their earnings calls which I feel like gives me a good overview of the industry / shale plays / what is going on, but where could I find some more indepth learning materials? I've read a couple of articles on Investopedia which were insightful - talking about how CF per share is more important that EPS for a lot of E&P companies. I also read a couple of research reports from TPH that were helpful.
Are there any reports that are publicly available anyone would reccomend? I also have access to a large brokerge house through an account I have which I have used to get analysts reports on companies, any industry specific newsletters, etc. I could access through that source?
Thanks
There's a ton of info on the EIA website, start there. (www.eia.doe.gov)
What's a common industry -> ER path? I might be a bit more successful that way given how the ER job search has been so far...
IBD -> ER Industry -> ER Big4 Accounting -> ER
Makes it easier if its in the same industry (energy loves its engineers)
Yeah, I was thinking coming from energy but I'm not coming from an engineering background. I've been looking at every company's undergrad training programs like BP's IST but haven't been really successful so far. Would I be completely doomed in some generic "financial analyst" position where I would gain exposure to what would be valuable for ER but isn't as FO/prestigeous? Probably a dumb question and me overthinking things but bleh.
the DB oil and gas primer as well as CS primer (sept 2011). If you read and know these well it should provide enough of a base to do well in an energy ER interview
