John MacArthur, Operations General Manager of Badr El-Din Petroleum

The Way AheadJanuary, 2021

The TWA Interview invites leaders and innovators who shape our E&P industry to share their wisdom, experience, and deep knowledge with young professionals. These figures are often chief executive officers, presidents, chairmen, or managing directors. For this issue, we tried a different approach, inviting an emerging industry leader to present insight and advice on how to be successful. This was one of the main requests from our readers in the 2008 readership survey. With this in mind, we invited John MacArthur, operations general manager of Badr El-Din Petroleum, for an open conversation about his career and to seek his advice.

Jeroen van der Veer, CEO, Royal Dutch Shell

The Way AheadJanuary, 2021

The Way Ahead Interview invites senior figures that shape our E&P industry to share their wisdom, experience, and deep knowledge with the young E&P professional community. Each interview is an open conversation that explores the careers, advice, and vision of these successful individuals. Each interview aims to reveal new insights and valuable lessons. It is hoped that these interviews will help young E&P professionals learn how to nurture their own personal skills, understand the nature and challenges of our industry, and grasp the technologies, developments, and issues that are key to creating our industry's future. For this interview, we travel to the cosmopolitan city of The Hague in The Netherlands, a country famed for its tulips, canals, and bicycles--as well as some of the world's largest multinational companies and international organizations. I joined Jeroen van der Veer for good Dutch "koffie" and a candid conversation at the headquarters of Royal Dutch Shell, the new company created by unification of Shell Transport and Royal Dutch only a week earlier.

Discover a Career in Social Media

The Way AheadJanuary, 2021

One thing social media professionals have in common is that our jobs didn't exist a decade ago. Now, social media professionals play a vital stakeholder-engagement role in marketing and communications across almost all industries, including oil and gas. However, oil and gas social media professionals face challenges not all industries share. Like other industries, we help build brand recognition and favorability in the online space. But we also have the difficult task of educating people about oil and gas and also of explaining how our company--and the industry--creates human prosperity and brings value to the communities where we operate around the Earth.
