Background

About Niall Rowantree

I have worked in the energy industry for fifteen years gaining experience in digital and data, analysis, project management, communication, business development, negotiation, re-organisations, strategy and analytics. I am motivated by pushing boundaries and developing new opportunities; by being a key member of great, high performing teams; by always looking for ways to develop my career, my team and my company; by reliably delivering and, when results aren’t delivered, understanding how and why and improving. The career achievements I am most proud of include- Developing a Digital & Data organisation from scratch in TotalEnergie's UK Upstream affiliate which, in three years of operation has delivered net value of over US$200M to the company- Sale of the St Fergus Gas Terminal and FUKA/SIRGE pipeline system to North Sea Midstream partners for US$950M. Main achievement: Working with and leading a variety of stakeholders; local landowners, local and national governments, 3rd party operators from different countries, external advisors and a diverse internal team. Anticipating and resolving issues thanks to a strong internal and external network that helped the transaction complete on time and with the expected value. Ensuring a lessons learned exercise was completed- Asset negotiations. Main achievement: Completing a number of commercial agreements with partners and 3rd parties. However, I am most satisfied that every agreement that could not be completed was closed in a positive, constructive way with stronger relationships in place and clear lessons learned- Business Development. Main achievement: Working as a remote member of a US based team. Leading product development efforts and also getting on the road to sell the product to clients worldwide. Staying close enough to the detail to be useful, but high-level enough to manage the process and deliver sales- Re-organisation of Total E&P UK. Main achievement: helping a ‘scratch’ team quickly become high performing and effective. Recognising and gaining support for creating a clear system of Governance in addition to the organisation chart changes.
