What commodities/oil trading firms are in NYC?

I have a friend who does not want to do consulting, doesn't actually want to work in engineering, and is currently applying for some trading firms. She's a girl (only listing this as relevant because of firms like Peak6 and all these diversity recruiting plays) and majoring in Chemical Engineering from a top 10 research university.

She has some hands on chemical engineering experience on the circuit/PLC side of things and not oil/gas, but has been applying to trading firms and seeing what works out (they'll at least give a majority of people the quantitative assessments it's been looking like). Should she start specifically targeting oil/commodities trading firms and leveraging her background in Chemical/Petroleum engineering as a talking point? If so what are those firms and are any in NYC? I am familiar with Glencore, Trafigura, Vitol, and Jump.
