Advisers with Risked Revenue Energy Associates join Hart Energy’s Jessica Morales to break down their new book, “Risk is an Asset: Turning Commodity Price Risk into a Strategic Advantage.”

“The book offers upstream firms, at least those willing to adopt what we call process risk management, a recipe for success no matter what prices do,” said Wayne Penello, president and founder of Houston-based Risked Revenue Energy Associates.
