The blog will start updating on March 1st with weekly news summary’s and a monthly in-depth topics.

Proposed monthly in depth topics are:

  1. The link between global oil prices and your price
  2. How do OTC and Exchange markets work
  3. How do flexible procurement contracts work
  4. What does a “Best Practice” energy procurement business process mean?  What does it look like?
  5. Understanding risk – a walk through some of the published material, much of it essential reading in our opinion
  6. Statistics 101 – the misunderstood and much maligned Value at Risk and other risk metrics

If you have any topics that you would like to see covered just post your idea.
For anyone who wants to start reading something now, two of the books we will be reviewing are

  1. The Black Swan : Nasim Taleb
  2. The Quest : Daniel Yergin – I am reading this on my Kindle now
Both are essential reading in my opinion.  What do you think?
