What caused the price crash in 2014
Understand how upstream valuation works and is different from traditional valuation.
It probably wouldn't hurt to have a high-level understanding of midstream valuation and what investors look for in an MLP. Also, capital structure is very important, so that might be another topic to look into
Have a high level knowledge of a couple major deals that have taken place recently - ideally transactions that the shop you're interviewing with advised on (Encana/Newfield, Chesapeake/Wildhorse, BP/BHP, Diamondback/Energen, and maybe some of the big MLP rollups like Energy Transfer or Western Gas).

I’ll assume this is a joke, but the third vertical is OFS, not refining.
Have seen some banks cover both refining and OFS out of industrial groups.
Thank you!
You’d also show your commitment if you brought in a shot glass of crude and downed that shit out of the gate. That will show them how much you like texas tea.
Understand that none of your work on NAV models makes a difference as the majority of the market is trading below PDP.
Edit: LOL whoever hit me with monkey shit is as salty as a Canadian operator looking at WCS. What I said is a fact.
