  • Responsibilities

    Job Description

    We are seeking a driven Research Analyst to join the oil transportation team in Louisville, KY.  The oil transportation team delivers real-time, proprietary data covering crude oil pipelines and crude-by-rail terminals in North America and Europe. Our clients include major oil companies, operators, investment banks, and institutional bankers.

    In late 2019, Wood Mackenzie purchased Genscape, a world leader in energy commodity monitoring. Genscape utilizes patented technologies and proprietary algorithms to provide accurate and timely data on capacities, flow, and utilization for all major energy commodities.

    ABOUT THE ROLE

    Wood Mackenzie’s short-term oils group thrives on providing unique, near-real-time insights on oil markets. The transportation team operates within the broader short-term oils group, providing modeling and signal analysis expertise as it relates to oil transportation networks. You will support prospects, report subscribers, and internal customers as the oil transportation expert .

    Your major responsibilities will include developing expertise on our remote sensing network, and applying that expertise to generate and improve upon our pipeline flow models. You will work closely with your team to maximize data integrity, provide focused research and optimize operational processes.

    You will gain an in-depth understanding of our current pipeline flow modeling processes, but more importantly, you will explore new ways to improve those processes using advanced analytics and statistical packages.

    On a daily and weekly basis, you will be responsible for reviewing and approving publications by their respective deadlines. You will support internal and external stakeholders as the resident subject matter expert for pipeline flow data.

You have an analytical mindset and an eye for detail, which you have proven in your past academic or work experience. You are strongly self-motivated but have had success working with a broader team.

    You have the ability to quickly learn and implement established processes and procedures, with keen attention to detail.
