Physical Oil Trading Masterclass
A front-to-back masterclass in physical oil trading and how ETRM supports it: from market intelligence and origination through execution, deal capture, scheduling, chartering, cargo operations, delivery, pricing, invoicing, and accounting.
Who it's for and how it works
Physical oil traders, operators, schedulers, and risk professionals across the crude and products value chain, and ETRM professionals supporting physical desks.
Each chapter pairs a video explainer with an in-depth audio podcast and PDF notes, so you can learn the concept quickly and absorb the detail on the move. It is self-paced with lifetime access, and available as a mentor-led cohort or private corporate training.

Physical Oil Trading Masterclass - answered
What is the Physical Oil Trading Masterclass program?
How physical oil deals are identified, negotiated, moved across the world, controlled for risk, and measured for profit - and how ETRM connects front to back office. It runs to 20 chapters across 1 module.
How does the course teach ETRM?
Each chapter pairs a video explainer with an in-depth audio podcast and PDF notes, so you learn the concept quickly and absorb the detail on the move. The material works through the platform functionally - the trade lifecycle, data, risk, scheduling, settlement, and operations - using worked examples rather than abstract theory. It is self-paced with lifetime access; mentor-led cohorts are also available.
Is this an Endur training?
This is a vendor-neutral energy trading & risk management (ETRM/CTRM) training. It teaches the concepts, data model, and workflows common to modern ETRM platforms so the skills transfer across systems. It is educational content only and does not include proprietary vendor UI screenshots, licensed software, or live system demonstrations.
How does this training help me get an ETRM / Endur job?
It builds the functional vocabulary and platform understanding that ETRM and Endur-type roles interview for - the trade lifecycle, reference and market data, risk and P&L, scheduling, and settlements - and lets you speak credibly about how the system supports each function. It does not guarantee interviews, employment, or specific outcomes; it gives you the knowledge foundation to compete for those roles.
Do I need prior experience?
Some familiarity with energy trading helps, but each chapter builds context so motivated newcomers can follow along.
Who is it for?
Physical oil traders, operators, schedulers, and risk professionals across the crude and products value chain, and ETRM professionals supporting physical desks.
Is there a downloadable brochure?
Yes. A PDF brochure summarizing the full curriculum is available from the download button at the top of this page.
Is it self-paced or cohort-based?
Both. Self-paced access with lifetime access is standard; mentor-led cohorts and private enterprise delivery are also available.
Does it include certification?
It awards a Durga Analytics certificate of completion. The focus is on real, functional ETRM capability rather than an external exam.
How does it relate to the ETRM Pro Bundle?
This program is part of the ETRM Pro Bundle, which combines it with the flagship ETRM Pro 500 and the other ETRM programs. Each is also available on its own.
