Oil Industry

[chixchix]

Is there any studies or Diploma that we can do to get ourselves a position in a Oil trading company or something similar ?

Asking on behalf of a friend,who is just holding A levels but with many years of work experience.

For Oil Industry, BS in Chemical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering is usually appreciated. Depending on the job position, you may not even need the degree. For example if you are a safety supervisor in an oil project, you don't need engineering background. It all depends on positions that your friend wants to work.

I believe, if I'm not wrong, a background in Finance is more useful here. It's more knowledge in markets than petroleum production/extraction. Oil Brokers are like Metal Brokers or Pork Belly Brokers or any other commodity.

if its an oil trading firm they would only really consider people with a background in finance, mathematics, engineering assuming your friend wants trading and not ops. trading is very quant based. Tell your friend to read as many derivative based books as he/she can.
