Raed Kawar
Senior Advisor for Executive Vice President Field Development & Exploration @ QatarEnergy
About
• 23 years upstream experience that spans all the way from exploration to abandonment. Delivered ~ significant increased capital projects value, 10-15% production increase through production optimisation, realistic assessment for exploration plays, and safe rigless abandonment. • Executive MBA (2019) in strategy and digital transformation. • Staff manager (8 +years direct reports / 15+ years indirect reports) for multiple disciplinary teams in various business units and JVs. Created a strong purpose driven teams. Transformed staff satisfaction results from bottom scores to top quartile level according to Shell People Survey in less than one year combined with strong business results. • Main creator of the Shell standards for subsurface uncertainties and Integrated reservoir modelling (Shell Multi Scenario Modelling). These standards enabled robust development and shorter modelling cycle time. • Global expert / consultant. As a global Principal Technical Expert provided expert advice, reviews, and framing facilitation for major fields (oil & gas including integration with midstream). These resulted in global cross learning on project risks, increase projects value and faster front-end execution. Key areas are Carbonates (Middle East, Brazil, Albania, Malaysia & Italy), Clastics (Norway, Gulf of Mexico, North Sea fields, Malaysia, Brunei, Egypt, Eastern Mediterranean). • Country focal point for SEC reserves reporting during Shell’s reserves crises. As a country focal point delivered compliant reserves submissions for multiple oil & gas fields through coordination with technical, finance and audit teams. • Worked as a secondee in international oil company (BP) & national oil company (PDO). In both occasions I’ve created JV stakeholders alignments and delivered value to all shareholders. • Chair of the Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) for Shell modelling & optimisation tools (static, dynamics & IPSM). Coordinating expert advice and provide steer for leading edge integrated reservoir modelling and uncertainty quantifications software. This is combined with generating benchmarks for existing tools such as Petrel, Eclipse, intersect, tNav & Petex. • Mergers & acquisitions / divestment: Created various model for evaluation (asset, cashflow, risk based discount rate). Was also involved in the Shell BG Merger. • Change Management & Organisational design – design global technical organisation for subsurface modelling and uncertainty quantifications teams through centralised reporting and the adoption of Agile ways of working.
