Key Risk Management Strategies for Mitigating the Risk of Price Volatility

Create forward contracts

Creating forward contracts is one of the best strategies that companies in the oil and gas industry can follow to address price volatility. It is a private agreement signed between a buyer and a seller, obligating the buyer and the seller to purchase and sell oil at a set price which is equal to the forward price set at the start of the contract. This reduces the risk of default on any single party.

Develop future contracts

Future contracts are traded in exchanges. In this, a clearing house represents the buyer and seller. The main idea behind developing future contracts is to ensure the quality and quantity of the products delivered by mitigating the risk of default. Such contracts are given much importance in the US oil and gas industry.
