Any good suggestions on books that would be a good read for energy/oil and gas? There was a thread about this a couple months ago but every time I try to open it it gives me a "page not found".

Energy Trading & Investing by Edwards
It gives you an overview of all of the markets. It takes each market one by one and talks about the physical flow and then delves into the financial markets.
Oil 101 by Morgan Downey is a pretty comprehensive overview of the Oil market, but this goes pretty in-depth into Oil, even discusses the chemistry. I guess depends on what you are looking for as far as a read.
fisher investments on energy does a good job breaking down the industry's drivers and what makes the market bullish or bearish with respect to oil prices.

This is a great thread, thank you.

Hey guys,
I am currently reading a book called "Oil 101" by Michael Downey. So far its been quite an interesting book, easy to read and full of great info, I highly recommend the book. Amazon Link Here
Do you guys have any good books on electricity by any chance ?
Thanks !
The book that has been recommended to me is Understanding Today's Electricity Business by Shively. http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Todays-Electricity-Business-Shively…
energy trading and Investing by Edwards has a great deal of information on power although I don't know if it is better than Shively.
both are good at the hight level.. if you want to really dig in... PM me and I can give you a deeper list.. I am a power trader
Digging old posts. Read energy trading and investing as well as electricity markets: pricing, structures and economics by Chris Harris.
Any other suggestions ? I am quite familiar with electrical markets now so something technical would be great !
Thanks in advance.
Monty doesn't seem to be active anymore. I've pmed him asking a couple of questions but no reply,
He's probably just busy or on vacation, he still posts here pretty regularly.
I went for this one: The Handbook of Energy Trading by Stefano Fiorenzani.
I'll let you guys know if it is any good.

Lets hear some of your faves. Listed below are my top three.... i am in power so bias

i've read some of trading natural gas by sturm and understanding today's electricity business was a textbook for a power trading class i had.
sturm was pretty cool, just didn't have time to finish it before some damn grad student had it called back...
understanding today's electricity business is just plain cool though. bought a copy of it for myself and its just an interesting read by itself. i picked up a book the other day, energy markets: price risk management and trading by tom james that doesn't seem too bad, although it is kind of broad and reads more like a history on trading and risk mgmt in the energy space, rather than a practical, desk manual type of guide.
i've also heard that VBA for modelers is good? can anyone second that?
so your selling energy markets: price risk management and trading by tom james ???? call me flat on the bid
I was wondering if anyone has any good recs on a book involving M&A in the energy industry. I know this is a trading group, but figured some of you might have a little background. I currently am looking at Bruner's "Applied Mergers & Acquisitions". It's a decent book for a generalist, but I've never found a good text on the subject that is energy specific. Thanks. etr
Looking for any good books for quantitative analysis in energy (natural gas and power) (Originally Posted: 07/02/2012)
Does anyone know any good books to learn quantitative analysis in energy? I am looking at natural gas and power. I am looking to improve my quantitative skills so looking for anything that will help.
Thanks, Onyx
Energy and Power Risk Management: New Developments in Modeling, Pricing and Hedging by Alexander Eydeland. It's the reference I always turn to for gas and power quant analytics.

That book is old. If you're looking for an intro, looking at Energy Trading by Davis Edwards. I really enjoyed it and it helps you see how the different products are interrelated.

Book recommendations for aspiring energy trader? (Originally Posted: 08/26/2013)
Hi, I am a senior finance major at a large public school. Last summer I interned on the trade floor for a large utility in Florida. I am interested in becoming a natural gas/oil/distillates/power trader and would like to do some reading about what it takes to work as a real-time or term trader.
Are there any must reads or book recommendations for going into this field?
Forgive me if I am posting in the wrong section, I am new to the site. Thanks, Brunks.
Right section. "Oil 101" by Morgan Downey is a must read, it goes over the background of pretty much everything you need to know about oil/distillates.
OP, use the search function couple threads on this.
Hey OP, marcellus is right you should really have used the search function. But I've been trying to assemble a list from this site and other sources of a good reading list so I'll go ahead and share it with you. Enjoy.

Oil Trading Book (Originally Posted: 10/01/2009)
During my summer internship I was constantly told to read this book "Trading Natural Gas" by Fletcher Sturm and I never got around to reading it. Because of an upcoming interview I got my butt moving and started reading it yesterday and OH MY it's such a good book I finished it in one day. It is a ridiculously well written book that makes things so simple..
This is the book http://books.google.com/books?id=JNV...age&q=&f=false
Dose anyone have any book suggestions similar to this for the oil counterpart? I need a quick dose of oil knowledge preferably from a book like this.
Thanks
p.s If you are interested in this topic you should definitely pick this book up it's really really that great.
