Background

About Dean Foreman

I’m a strategic energy economist who transforms data into decisions. With 20+ years across global majors (ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco), policy leaders (API, TXOGA), and C-suite strategy, I connect markets, regulation, and infrastructure to real-world economic impact. As Chief Economist at TXOGA and President of USAEE 2025, I provide trusted analysis to policymakers, investors, and the public. My work spans the full oil and gas value chain—upstream to LNG, refining, and power—ensuring Texas and America remain energy leaders. Previously, I shaped U.S. energy discourse as Chief Economist at API, guiding strategy through regulatory transitions, trade debates, and energy security challenges. Earlier roles at Sasol, Talisman, and ExxonMobil grounded me in capital strategy, market risk, and global economic modeling. Recognized as a LinkedIn Top Voice in Energy & Economics, I simplify the complex to elevate dialogue and influence policy. Let’s connect if you’re focused on: • Oil and natural gas markets and infrastructure • ERCOT and electricity market reform • Energy economics, trade, and policy design • Legislative testimony or regulatory strategy • Strategic insight grounded in evidence, not ideology
