      Commercial Energy Intern - Analytics, Operations, Trading Interview

      14 Feb 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Houston, TX
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at bp (Houston, TX) in Dec 2023

      Interview

      Hireview was sent immediately after submitting my application. I was then contacted after a few days that they wanted to give me an interview and they asked me to send in my availability for a 1.5 hour technical. Due to scheduling issues, it took them a while to get back to me, but when they did they simply called me, gave me a time(about a week later), and I accepted. My interview was about 1 hour and consisted of three case studies that focused on basic risk analysis and supply and demand. I had 10 minutes to do each of them and then was asked questions about them. They were mainly focusing on HOW I got my answers, not necessarily the correctness of my answers

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      The first question showed me a diagram and a chart showing a refinery connected by a pipeline to two countries. The refinery had a certain amount of stored gas, and you had to tell how much oil you needed to send from the refinery to each country each year based on the demand the chart said they had. Note that the second country was connected to the first country, not the refinery.
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      The second problem asked if they added a new pipeline connected to the pipeline between country one and country two, how it would affect overall business. They mention that country two has a bad relationship with the new country, so they want to know if you would still build the new pipeline considering how it might affect your entire business.

      Question 3

      The last question asked you to come up with a price for gas for country 1. They give you an option between two prices: one is a fixed price and the other fluctuates with demand that they ask you to calculate for a few dates. Then they ask you what price you might offer and if you would choose between a mix of the fixed price method and the fluctuating price method.
