Graham Henley was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) in September 2023. He leads the organisation committed to ensuring that the oil and gas that the world needs today is, for as long as it’s needed, produced in the safest, most responsible and efficient way, with the lowest carbon footprint. Drawing on more than 2500 experts from almost 100 member companies, IOGP produces essential technical publications to achieve these aims and also engages with policymakers to advocate for technically sound legislation which supports climate and other sustainability goals. Before this, Graham was SVP Projects and Engineering Capability in Shell, completing an international career that had taken him to the deserts of Oman, frozen seas off Sakhalin, and tropical heat of Nigeria, Malaysia, and Brunei. After leading Shell’s businesses in Syria and a short assignment as Vice President Government Relations International, he spent his last ten years in Shell in headquarters roles, initially as Vice President of Conventional Oil & Gas Projects responsible for a $35 billion portfolio of projects in execution and thereafter leading the company’s global engineering and projects functions.
