Dragon Oil, a subsidiary of Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC), has made significant leadership changes. The Board of Directors has announced the appointment of Abdul Karim Ahmed Al Mazmi as Acting Chief Executive Officer.

The appointment, reported by Arab media, reflects the Board’s strong confidence in Al Mazmi’s leadership, strategic vision and, most importantly, his key role in driving sustainable growth and expansion in the company’s priority markets, notably Turkmenistan, Egypt and Iraq.

Abdul Karim Ahmed Al Mazmi has over 40 years of experience in the oil and gas sector. He has held senior positions in major international companies, including heading BP's operations in the UAE.

Since joining Dragon Oil in 2018, Al Mazmi has been actively involved in the company's activities, serving as a board member of IDCO, ADMA, EDGAS, NGSCO and Bunduq, and overseeing strategic projects in various regions of the world. His extensive experience and deep knowledge of the industry will be an important asset for Dragon Oil and its partners.

For Turkmenistan, where Dragon Oil is one of the largest foreign investors and operator of the Cheleken offshore field in the Turkmen sector of the Caspian Sea, the appointment of a new leader is a significant event. Cooperation with Dragon Oil is of strategic importance for the development of the country's oil and gas industry, attracting investment and introducing advanced technologies.

The selection of Turkmenistan as a key growth market for Dragon Oil underlines the company's long-term plans and its commitment to projects in the country. This could signal further investment and expansion of activities, which will help strengthen Turkmenistan's energy potential and develop its export capabilities.
