Natural Gas Quant Interview Guide
Natural gas quant interview guide covering hubs, storage, weather, seasonality, basis, volatility, and examples.
Candidates discussing gas storage, seasonality, weather, and basis.
Gas markets are location-sensitive
Natural gas prices depend on hubs, pipeline constraints, storage, local demand, production, and weather-driven load in each region.
Seasonality is central
Heating demand, storage injection season, withdrawal season, and weather expectations can strongly affect futures and basis.
Concrete example
A cold forecast can lift winter gas contracts if demand expectations rise and storage is low relative to seasonal norms.
Basis risk can dominate hedges
A futures hedge at one hub may not perfectly offset local exposure when pipeline congestion or regional demand changes unexpectedly.
Common mistakes
Candidates often use one gas price as if it covers every location. Regional basis and physical constraints are critical.
