Executive Background
Olfi Mohammed is the founding principal and managing director of ENGSL Minerals DMCC — the driving force behind the company's integrated EPC, technology, and trading platform. His career combines rare depth across national oil company operations, international engineering delivery, carbon capture innovation, and commercial hydrocarbon trading.
His 27-year tenure as Head of Operations at ADNOC spans from the early production era at Habshan (1994, 30,000 BPD) through direct operations management command at Bu Hasa's landmark 2.4 million BPD three-phase separation facility (2003–2007). This is not advisory experience — it is career-defining field-level and executive-grade delivery at the highest level of the Abu Dhabi energy sector.
His technical credentials are reinforced by US engineering education at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) with MIT framework and pathways exposure, complemented by additional professional education in the UK. International EPC project management experience through Costain UK — one of the UK's major engineering and construction groups — further strengthened his European and international delivery discipline.
Among his rarest credentials is patent ownership in three distinct areas of industrial chemistry: soda ash mineralization, CO₂ absorption-desorption carbon capture, and precipitated calcium carbonate. These patents — developed through collaboration with Tsinghua University and Norwegian industrial partners — are backed by commercial delivery proof points in Norway (2007–2013) and the UAE (2019–2021).
Since founding ENGSL, Olfi Mohammed has built and led the company's full platform: from ADNOC-grade field operations to international EPC delivery, carbon capture commercialization, and the establishment of a structured hydrocarbon trading book across MEA, Caucasus, and global markets since 2012.
