I have 32 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry. I have a doctorate in petroleum en- gineering from Stanford University in the US, and I started my career in the US as well. I’ve been all around the world, joining BG in 2000. While I’ve lived in a lot of different places, Egypt is like my second home – I have lived here over 12 years. In fact, I first joined BG in Egypt. At that stage we were doing a lot of major developments, and BG had not yet produced any gas. By 2005, we were by far the leading gas producer in the country. This is something BG prides itself on—very rapid development and implementation, which has been the hallmark of our stay in Egypt.
