    From the molecular structure of Paraffins through to hedging cargoes, this book must rank as one of the major treatise on understanding the supply chain and the complexities of oil trading in today’s markets.  It should become a standard reference work.

    Consilience focuses a sometimes irreverent, but always thought provoking, lens on all aspects of oil trading and provides a valuable insight into the business.

    A readable and enjoyable book on a complex subject by someone who has been a pioneer in the world of oil trading from the late 70s and early 80s; a period that saw the entire world of oil trading transformed and created anew. Liz’s experience as  a trader, a thought leader, a corporate player and a financial player is what has allowed her to crystalize into a simple but thorough guide on oil trading that is understandable to all; professionals and interested non-professionals alike.

    The Consilience Guide to Trading Crude Oil provides a clear and comprehensive explanation of the otherwise obscure business of oil trading. It constitutes a basic reference for all those who need to understand how trading works, and especially for financial investors and market regulators. It also provides an excellent introduction and valuable reference for new recruits to the trading business. Bravo to Consilience for making this complex subject so easily understandable by a wide audience.

    Oil trading for the likes of me, grown up in the exploration & production business, has always seemed to be a most obscure business. This book, written by Liz Bossley, who I have known since she started work in 1978 at BNOC, is a masterpiece in unravelling the complexities and details of trading and making them easily understandable. Liz’s writing style is relaxed, which makes the book also a joy to read. Trading Oil, is indeed a book to be read by the professionals and laypeople alike. It can even be taken on holiday!
