A Penn State Engineer's Quest to Become the World's Gas King - Bloomberg:
It’s the opposite of a meteoric rise.
Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi was a teenager when he joined Qatar Petroleum in 1986, still an engineering student at Pennsylvania State University. He climbed slowly through the ranks, finally becoming chief executive officer in 2014 and managing projects that cemented Qatar’s role as the world’s top exporter of liquefied natural gas.
On Sunday, Al-Kaabi was appointed minister of state for energy issues and vice chairman of Qatar Petroleum. Qatar’s heft in the energy industry derives from its LNG and condensate exports, not the 600,000 barrels a day of crude it pumps or its membership in OPEC. Al-Kaabi has contributed to a 10-fold surge in Qatar’s gas and oil production over his 32 years at QP.
