INTRODUCTION
Commodity markets have always been uncertain and have often exhibited extended periods of volatility. Events such as the collapse of Enron and other
marketers, the financial crisis, and more recently, BREXIT, have all had massive impact, and yet, after each event, measures have been put in place, both
regulatory and in terms of controls, to protect markets, margins and profits.
Each tumultuous event has brought learning, innovation and improvements
in business processes. The energy industry has also learned from these experiences; adopting better and improved risk controls, systems and tools to
predict, protect and profit. Yet, now may be the time to innovate once again to
better protect margins amid increasing costs and lower commodity prices.
