The Study Guide sets forth primary and subtopics covering physical

operations and physical and financial markets for energy, as well

as risk management techniques in both areas. The topics selected

by the Energy Oversight Committee (EOC) reflect those that energy

risk professionals working in practice today must master. The

topics are reviewed yearly to ensure the ERP Examination is

kept timely and relevant.

ERP Examination Approach

The ERP is a practice-oriented examination. Its questions are

derived from a combination of science, industry practice, and

theory, as well as “real-world” work experience. Candidates are

expected to understand both physical and financial energy sectors,

general and specific risk management concepts and approaches,

and how they are applied in an energy risk professional’s day-

to-day activities.

The ERP Examination is a comprehensive assessment, testing

risk professionals on a number of energy-related risk management

concepts and approaches. One should note that it is very rare

that an energy risk professional will be faced with an issue that

can immediately be slotted into one category; in the real world,

an energy risk professional must be able to identify any number of

risk-related issues and be able to manage them effectively.

Readings

Questions for the ERP Examination are derived from the readings

listed under each topic. These readings were selected by the ERP

EOC to assist candidates in their review of the subjects covered by

the exam. It is strongly suggested that candidates review these

readings in depth prior to sitting for the examination.

Test weights and question allocation for the 2009 ERP

Examination will be as follows:

• Physical Energy Markets............................................... 40%72 questions- Exploration and Production (Petroleum and

Natural Gas)........................................................... 5%- Crude Oil................................................................ 5%- Refined Petroleum Products................................... 5%- Natural Gas............................................................ 5%- Liquefied Natural Gas ............................................ 5%- Coal........................................................................ 5%- Electricity ............................................................... 5%- Alternative Energy ................................................. 5%

PHYSICAL ENERGY MARKETS

• Exploration and Production (Petroleum and Natural Gas)• Crude Oil• Refined Petroleum Products• Natural Gas• Liquefied Natural Gas• Coal• Electricity• Alternative Energy

NOTE: Because many of the readings in the physical market section cover physical risk management and mitigation techniques aspart of daily operations, there is no separate “risk management” section for physical energy markets.

Note on Financial Disclosure, Accounting and Compliance:

GARP recognizes that issues of financial disclosure, accounting, and compliance are critical to the daily life of an energy riskprofessional.While adherence to a regulatory body will be governed by one’s specific firm or geographic region, it is critical for anyglobally-minded energy risk professional to have a base level understanding of several of the larger regulators that will likely beencountered. However, as global energy markets continue to evolve, so do the standards of these globally-recognized regulators.As such, for the October 2009 ERP Examination, candidates may expect to be tested on changes occurring in the below mentionedgoverning bodies through June 1, 2009, the date of this study guide. Any changes made after this date will be picked up by the2010 ERP Study Guide to be issued in November 2009.

Candidates are expected to understand the objectives and general structure of each of the below mentioned regulators and generalapplication of the various regulations listed. Candidates are not expected to memorize specific details.
