Phone Interview with Oil/Nat Gas Trader

Hey I have a phone interview for an oil/nat gas trading opportunity and was wondering if anyone had any good ideas of questions to ask?

should I ask specific industry specific or related questions or keep it informal? the understanding is that I'm supposed to have several questions lined up.

i don't know too much about the energy space, so I don't want to screw myself by asking too technical a question, yet I don't want to come across as clueless.

If anyone could offer any advice on good questions to ask, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Best,
