Chevron moves executive of Saudi unit to Kuwait: report

Chevron Corp has moved its Saudi Arabian unit’s president Ahmad Al-Omar to manage operations in Kuwait as both countries prepare to resume production from shared fields with a capacity of more than 500,000 barrels a day (bbl).

Mohamed al-Marri, who was senior vice president of administration at Saudi Arabian Chevron, will replace Al-Omar, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing an email from the company’s spokeswoman, Sally Jones.

Al-Omar served at Saudi Chevron for 48 years, including 18 years as president.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait jointly operate offshore and onshore oil and gas fields. Chevron owns a 50 percent stake in the Wafra onshore oil and natural gas fields, which are set to reopen during the first half of 2017, Kuwait’s oil minister earlier announced.
