Reference excerpt

Hani Abdulaziz Al Hussein is a Kuwaiti engineer and politician. He served as chief executive officer of the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation from 2004 to 2007 and oil minister from February 2012 to May 2013.

Education Hussein received a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Tulsa in 1971.

Career After graduation Hussein joined Kuwait National Petroleum Company in February 1972 and worked there until April 1980. Then he began to work at Shuaiba refinery (1972–1974). Then he joined planning department in 1977 and his tenure at the department lasted until 1977. From 1977 to 1980 he worked at international marketing department. He served as the board chairman and managing director of the Petrochemical Industries Company (PIC) from 1990 to 1995. He held different posts at the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) including managing director for oil refining and local marketing and managing director for marketing. From 1998 to 2004 he was also board chairman and managing director of Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC). Hussein was made chief executive officer of the KPC in 2004 and he replaced Nader Sultan in the post. Hussein resigned from office in April 2007. In June 2007, then Prime Minister Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah appointed Hussein as his chief petroleum advisor. Hussein was appointed oil minister to the cabinet led by Prime Minister Jaber Al Sabah on 24 February 2012, replacing Mohammad Busairi in the post. In a December 2012 cabinet reshuffle Hussein was reappointed to the post. However, he resigned from office on 26 May 2013 due to tensions with members of the Kuwaiti parliament. Finance Minister Mustafa Al Shamali was appointed acting oil minister to succeed him, and on 4 August Shamali was appointed to full portfolio in a cabinet reshuffle.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hani Abdulaziz Al Hussein

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hani Abdulaziz Al Hussein claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Hani Abdulaziz Al Hussein before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Hani Abdulaziz Al Hussein ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Hani Abdulaziz Al Hussein

In research: Hani Abdulaziz Al Hussein appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Hani Abdulaziz Al Hussein in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Hani Abdulaziz Al Hussein is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Chemical engineers, Kuwaiti engineers, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hani Abdulaziz Al Hussein outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
