NEWSMAKER-Saad Al-Kaabi: Keeping Qatar's gas flowing under Gulf boycott | Reuters:

"When Qatar’s Gulf neighbours and Egypt sought to isolate Doha with a boycott imposed last year, the nation’s top energy official kept a cool head and ensured oil and gas exports barely felt a hiccup.

Saad Al-Kaabi, a U.S.-educated engineer who rose the ranks to become chief executive of Qatar Petroleum (QP) in 2014, had a contingency plan to hand to maintain energy flows that account for 60 percent of the Arab nation’s state revenues.

“It was the best stress test we can have for our system to show whether we are really up for a challenge,” Al-Kaabi said in a Reuters interview in Doha, brushing of the boycott’s impact."
