Community Answers
Show the interviewer that you have a solid understanding of pricing in the oil and gas industry. Although you are likely not an oil trader, you should still have a good idea of how pricing works when it comes to crude oil, gasoline, and more. Of course, supply and demand is a factor but try to dig a bit deeper when you respond.
"I understand that market conditions, as well as supply and demand, are critical factors when it comes to pricing crude oil. Other important factors include consumer habits, terrorist activities and other global threats, environmental issues, and also the grade of the crude itself."

Crude oil prices are determined by economic issues, market conditions, global terroristic situations, and the demand for crude oil. Also, pricing is determined by the quality of crude oil.
