Quant Macro to Commods (power/Oil)

How feasible is it to get into a good power/oil seat with a background in quantitative macro (systematic futures)? I don't have much of a background in commodities besides having good quant skills and a background in researching fairly standard quant macro strategy themes (think AQR/factor style investing).

Pretty young in career (2 years in).
