Un deal va être créé afin de protéger Société X à la hausse pour la matière première qu’est le pétrole.

Upward/bullish protection policy... Many thanks in advance for the correct technical term. I know it's going to ring a bell >:(

upside protection

Explanation:
Leave out 'policy'. Leave out 'price'. Both are understood.

If you call doing a deal for upside protection a 'policy', people will think you're likening it to insurance. Which it isn't: it's a hedge.

upward (price) protection policy

Explanation:
Hello,

I think this is what they're saying here.

Revenue Option that provides upward price protection when the harvest price is higher ... GRIP policy but they do not have to turn in production history.
