Details

This book by industry leader Vincent Kaminski provides an exhaustive description of the energy markets, covering both the fundamentals of the production, transportation, storage and distribution processes, as well as market design and linkages between different markets. The book also describes the most important types of transactions and instruments used in these markets.

In order to operate as a professional in this business, it is necessary to understand every layer of the industry (physical, financial, and geo-political). The energy markets represent a network of related physical, financial and credit markets, with very complex interactions and interdependencies. This book enables the reader to come to an understanding of every layer and interaction, learning everything they need to about the realities of working within these markets, in an accessible, straightforward manner.

Energy markets are evolving towards a highly integrated, global system, with shocks propagating across specific physical commodities markets and different local markets. The physical and financial markets cannot be examined in isolation from each other and this book brings the two together, providing detailed and comprehensive coverage of these continually evolving areas.

Key chapters in Energy Markets focus on:

Energy Trading and Marketing
Energy Markets: The Instruments
Energy Markets: The Plumbing
Natural Gas
Oil
Electricity and Coal
Green Markets
