E.ON Ruhrgas Establishes Representative Office for the Middle East and North Africa
E.ON Ruhrgas will shortly open up representative offices for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Doha, Qatar. They will be headed by John Roper (47), an experienced oil and gas industry executive, who will manage and coordinate the company's interests in the region and drive projects aimed at bringing Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) to Europe and securing operated upstream assets. Through this initiative E.ON Ruhrgas is confirming its commitment to the MENA region and to the LNG business.
John Roper, joins E.ON Ruhrgas with more than 25 years of experience in the international oil and gas industry, notably in the Middle East, North Africa and the Caspian Sea region. He is a member of several international energy industry organisations and has, developed and managed various international projects. In his last position, John Roper was Regional Vice President and General Manager of Petro-Canada in Dubai.
By entering the LNG business, E.ON Ruhrgas is developing new supply sources to further improve the security of natural gas supplies to Europe. The Middle East and North Africa have substantial gas reserves. Iran accounts for some 15 % of the world's proven recoverable gas reserves, Qatar has around 14 % while Algeria, Egypt and Libya have 4 %. E.ON Ruhrgas has already signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Algerian company Sonatrach on cooperation in LNG projects. E.ON is planning to build new LNG receiving terminals, including one at Wilhelmshaven on the German North Sea coast and one on the Croatian island of Krk.
