Ali al-Naimi, shepherd in the fields of black gold - FT.com:
"A
visit to Ali al-Naimi’s oak-panelled office in Riyadh is a journey through history. The world’s most powerful oil man is known to show guests the totems of his long career, from the rock formations that have blessed the kingdom, to pictures of the dignitaries he has met over two decades of diplomatic management of the forces of supply, demand, and speculation.
At 81, the diminutive Mr Naimi has seen it all; so much of it, in fact, that he is said to be ready for retirement. Instead he has found himself at the centre of one of the biggest, and perhaps most daunting struggles of his long tenure at the head of the Saudi oil ministry."
