How do I prepare for an energy internship?

I signed an offer with a bank in Houston for an Energy SA position for 2021. I don't have any prior experience in O&G and the program is generalist across M&A as well as RX (across all verticals).

How do I best prepare myself for the internship, knowing that the deal teams are likely to be lean and the work challenging (given the unique nature of modeling in O&G). I am going to be keeping up with news in the industry given the dynamic nature, but what else can I do?

Any books that can give me a good grasp of the whole supply chain and key constituents of the industry that I should read?

Finally, what resources do you use to keep yourself up-to-date in the industry? Any O&G websites (I came across Oil & Gas 360)? 

 

Also since its Rx too, look at Houlihan's Rx case study. If you wanted to go above and beyond, find a bankruptcy that interests you and read through some of the court dockets. "Chesapeake Energy Bankruptcy Docket" on google should do the trick.
