  • Present industry research and insights via conference calls, webinars, conferences and in-person client visits.
  • Build deep relationships with upstream industry stakeholders in the Middle East. Engage with policymakers and project developers on how markets are evolving, understanding their perspectives, and how that may influence our analysis.
  • Strengthen the data inputs through surveys, interviews, and both primary and secondary research.
  • Collaborate with SMEs and internal stakeholders across Wood Mackenzie to support the creation of our content.

Knowledge and Experience

  • 12+ years' experience in the upstream industry, including in new ventures teams.
  • A deep network of industry contacts that can be called upon for primary research or Wood Mackenzie event participation.
  • In-depth understanding of the upstream asset development cycle from exploration, through development and production until end-of-field-life.
  • Experience in building upstream asset cashflows, discounted cashflow models and understanding the main elements of upstream fiscal terms.
  • Understanding of upstream contracts such as PSCs, Concessions, Buy-backs etc.
  • Understanding of upstream project costs and the drivers.
  • Passionate about the upstream oil and gas industry.
  • Strong familiarity with broader industry issues and how they impact upstream investment.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities. Interested in using both qualitative and quantitative methods to answer market questions.
