Mission
Description Of The Business Line or Department

The BL is dedicated to (i) advising on, structuring, negotiating, arranging, underwriting and distributing debt products and (ii) promoting the sale of products from other business lines of the bank to companies or projects that are subject to a risk on oil and gas reservoir performance and development.

Underlying assets financed are located in the CEEMA and CIS region. Some overseas travel, among other in emerging countries, will be required to meet with clients and perform due diligence.

RBF is a highly specialised activity that relies on an in-depth sector understanding and detailed petroleum engineering assessments. It is subject to a combination of risks (sub-investment grade counterparties, emerging markets, reservoir development and performance, commodity price, reputation and syndication risks) that are interacting with each other. Their management requires a combination of skills that can only be acquired with experience and an efficient teamwork.

The activity requires a particular care in managing conflicts of interest, receiving of material confidential and sometimes insider information, managing potential reputation risks and avoiding being subject or associated to money laundering or financial crime.

Each transaction is usually bespoke in order to address particular risks and business objectives. It also evolves in time along with the circumstances. This requires a particularly high level of (i) details in the due diligence and the monitoring (ii) pro-activity in identifying potential issue and (iii) transparency in raising them to management.

Most of the transactions are arranged to finance a project with several stakeholders and often incompressible milestones. This requires very flexible and sometimes long working hours often outside of the regular office hours in order to meet deadlines.
