Water-Energy Nexus (Part 1)
The interdependencies between water and energy are commanding increasing attention! The issues clearly show that the use and management of energy & water resources need to be addressed simultaneously.

Mega-project Engineer at Saudi Aramco
Engineering the Jafurah unconventional gas revolution. UCL-trained mechanical engineer, PMP-certified project leader, and energy transition advocate writing at the intersection of policy, technology, and global energy systems.
// About Me
I'm a Mechanical Engineer working on Saudi Aramco's Jafurah Mega-project — the largest liquid-rich shale gas play in the Middle East. I manage $0.5B+ in purchase orders and lead 30+ engineers across 5 multi-disciplinary teams delivering one of the Kingdom's most strategically important energy programs.
I hold a First-Class Honours BEng in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in IoT from University College London, where I graduated in the top 5% on the Dean's List. My passion lies in bridging engineering execution with energy policy — I write about these intersections through my newsletter, Enoryx.
Beyond Aramco, I represent Saudi Arabia as a Future Energy Leader at the World Energy Council, an IRENA Youth Delegate, and a contributor to international energy forums from Davos to the UN General Assembly week.

Read on Substack →These two words might have been overused that they do NOT mean much, yet they are under emphasized and uncontextualized. In this post, we try to bring facts to light.
Read on Substack →There is a huge focus among energy companies and power producers on the energy supply side of the equation. Can we efficiently manage the demand though?
Read on Substack →The reality is that energy is a global commodity and has been exchanged between nations for a while. What about the shift in trend towards national security interests & independency-aimed policies?
Read on Substack →What are our energy sources? Is our energy market broken? Can energy be traded? What is an energy trader? In this post, we explore the answers!
Read on Substack →Hydrogen commands a great deal of policy attention, and with no doubt, will play a fundamental role in the global energy transition. So what is hydrogen?
Read on Substack →Today, global fossil fuel supply and demand is a topic of geopolitical concern. In the future, the attention may shift to the geopolitics of critical materials.
Read on Substack →At face value, these concepts might not seem to be relevant to the energy industry, but they represent the core elements of sustainable, reliable, and efficient energy systems & policies!
Read on Substack →The aim of the Energy Oryx (Enoryx) Saudi newsletter is to share weekly emails of up-to-date information about the energy industry & the transition in Saudi Arabia, regionally, and worldwide!
