Job Description:

Where you fit in?

Shell Energy Integration & Fundamentals (SEIF) is looking for a China Gas & LNG Market Analyst to join the Fundamental Analysis team, a team of 12 professionals responsible for Shell Energy’s fundamentals view on Global gas and LNG.

The position will be based in Shell’s Beijing office and will work closely with another Beijing-based senior member to strengthen SEIF’s gas and LNG market research presence in China. The analyst will be co-responsible for developing the short, medium, and long term (now through 20 years) gas and LNG views with focus on China. The two primary customers of this role are Shell Energy and Integrated Gas/New Energies (IG/NE).

What’s the role?

This role is responsible for bringing supply, demand, pricing, infrastructure, and policy views together, monitoring and modeling key drivers to develop forward-looking views on China (and its regional markets) across all time horizons. The emphasis is on developing both qualitative and quantitative capabilities, supported as appropriate by network and models/tools. Therefore, while using technology to build scalability will be important, collaborating with peers in other fundamentals and intelligence teams will be essential to succeed.

You will thrive in the following competencies:


To succeed in this role, you should be an independent thinker and strong team player, pro-active, inquisitive, creative in finding alternative solutions but also with a critical eye for detail.
Royal Dutch Shell is a leading player in the energy markets; Shell Energy has the mandate to market and trade LNG/gas, power and environmental products, contributing to creating value for the company.
The gas and LNG markets around the world are evolving. China is currently leading the growth in global gas and LNG demand and is also embracing energy transition under the guidance of its carbon neutral goal by 2060. Therefore, deepening our understanding of its key drivers and forming a view on potential future developments for the region will support our competitive edge.
This role will provide a unique opportunity to support Shell Energy profitability, while informing long-term decisions to develop a resilient portfolio into the 2020s’ and beyond. Therefore, building credibility with both Energy Traders and IG colleagues will be key to translate analytical insights into commercial and strategic gains.


More specifically, you will:


Serve as a “go-to person” for analysis of gas and LNG markets primarily focusing on China, collaborating closely with Shell Energy’s analytical teams, Shell Energy China’s commercial teams and gas and LNG traders across Shell Energy.
Track and analyze developments in China’s domestic gas production, imports via key cross-border gas pipelines and LNG terminals.
Track and analyze China’s gas/LNG demand by key sectors (industry, power generation, and space heating) using a bottom-up modeling approach.
Track and analyze China’s domestic gas/LNG pricing reforms and market liberalization policies.
Develop an internal view on supply and demand fundamentals – be able to logically, clearly, and as necessary, provocatively articulate this view to stakeholders.
Understand key dynamics of overall energy markets in China and evaluate the implications to gas and LNG with a special focus on the role of gas in the energy transition.
Identify and help develop quantitative and qualitative tools and models to enhance the quality and accuracy of forecasts that will be used as an input to other internal models and for commercial decision-making.
Develop and maintain relevant database and models to support China gas and LNG market analysis.
Improve the quality and timeliness of intelligence through the development of internal/external network of contacts and capture synergies across the organization.


What we need from you?


Required: Strong academic track record with a degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Economics, Econometrics, Business, or Finance.
Required: Must be able to develop fundamental views based on quantitative analysis that will be translated into profitable investments and trades.
Required: 3 years' experience in LNG/gas market analysis and modeling across short, medium or long-term horizons. Trading and marketing experience is advantageous.
Required: Strong interpersonal skills and demonstrated ability to build relations at multiple levels and across organisations.
Required: Good command of spoken and written English and Chinese and ability to demonstrate good presentation and writing skills.
