The Natural Gas Exploration and Production (E&P) Commodity Management Solution – Commodity XL

Trading and Risk Management

Natural gas is a vital component of the world’s supply of energy. It is one of the safest and most useful of all energy sources. Unlike other fossil fuels, natural gas is clean burning and emits lower levels of potentially harmful by-products into the air.

Hedging price risk of natural gas is a key to profitable operations. E&P companies wishing to succeed must have sophisticated energy trading and risk management (ETRM) systems in place that not only transact and capture data in real time, but that also provide critical business intelligence and analysis information to make optimal decisions around trade execution and position management.
