Dr Valerie Marcel, Associate Fellow at Chatham House.
From 2002 to 2007, Valerie led energy research at Chatham House and published on the politics of oil in the Middle East. She has carried out extensive fieldwork in the major oil producing countries of the region. Her new book, "Oil Titans; National Oil Companies in the Middle East" (The Brookings Institution, Chatham House, 2006), is based on over 120 in-depth interviews with the management of national oil companies and officials at the Ministries of Petroleum. Valerie Marcel is also leading a major initiative on "Good Governance of the National Petroleum Sector", with the aim of working closely with the governments of oil and gas producing countries, their national oil companies and other stakeholders to establish principles of good governance and guidelines for best practice. Publications on this subject include "Good Governance of the National Oil Company" (Chatham House Report, March 2005). Her work at Chatham House previously focused on Iraq's oil industry and the political issues affecting future prospects for the industry. Publications include: "Total in Iraq" (The Brookings Institution, Washington D.C., August 2003); "Iraq's Oil Tomorrow" (RIIA Report, co-authored with John Mitchell, April 2003) and "The Future of Oil in Iraq" (RIIA Briefing Paper, December 2002). She was previously Adjunct Professor in International Relations at the Institut d'études politiques de Paris and the University of Cairo. Valerie is now based in Dubai, where she is working as a consultant. She is an Honorary Associate at CEPMLP.
