Trading & Shipping technical interview

Hi, does anyone know what kind of questions are usually asked at a technical interview for trading & shipping at firms like Bp, Shell, etc.

Also, what resources can I use to prepare.

Thank you!

This is my experience from the US technical round with BP/Shell so might not be that helpful for you. But hope it provides some perspective:

1. (Based on the demand/supply numbers they provide) how would the gas sotrage level change month to month

2. What are some geopolitical implication concern for a power plant deal

There can be other pricing questions too.

Could you walk through how you would answer these two questions? Also bump for resources.
