Oil & Gas Company: Managing Energy Risk with MAS Markets

An energy-focused firm in the Oil & Gas sector sought to better manage exposure to volatile commodity prices—particularly crude oil (Brent/WTI) and natural gas. While the company’s core business revolved around exploration, production, and distribution, leadership recognized the need for a comprehensive risk management strategy to protect profit margins against sudden price swings in global energy markets.

Excessive Price Volatility

Rapid changes in oil and gas prices (driven by geopolitical events, supply/demand imbalances, and macroeconomic factors) posed a significant threat to the company’s earnings stability.

Limited Liquidity & Pricing Transparency

Existing hedging channels did not provide enough depth in the market or competitive pricing, leading to wide spreads, potential slippage, and uncertainty during periods of high volatility.

Regulatory & Compliance Complexity

Operating across multiple jurisdictions, the Oil & Gas firm required a partner offering transparent execution, robust reporting, and alignment with industry regulations.

Scalability & Customization

Hedging requirements could fluctuate significantly based on production levels and operational timelines. The firm needed a flexible, scalable solution without the administrative burden of multiple counterparties.
