International Energy Trade Thesis

Hi Everyone, I am in my first year of graduate school; currently working towards earning my M.S. in International Trade & Maritime Logistics, and chose to do the thesis option.

I don’t know if I plan on pursuing a PhD/Doctorate upon getting my Masters, but I’ve always enjoyed both writing, researching, and feel that it would be something I’d enjoy.

I’m also working full-time in the Natural Gas industry as a Scheduler/Analyst and hope to become a trader in the near future on either a global or domestic scale . . . I still have quite a few years before I can even be considered for a trading position; as I am only a 1st year-Associate and finished my undergrad. in 2015.

Well, anyways . . . I didn’t think it would hurt to collaborate with others around the country and see what topics of interest for some folks might be out there. I wanted to reach out and see if anyone had any good ideas regarding thesis topics related to the oil and gas side of international trade. (Import/export, oil, natural gas, LNG, LPG, refined products, etc. . . .)

  • Cheers
