Controlling Price Risk
88
Jim Williams and Gary Jackson

By utilizing existing financial instruments, today's producer can control price risk, obtain additional funding for oil and gas acquisition, stabilize profits and cash flows, reduce both the cost of equity and borrowing funds, and increase the existing borrowing base.
