Bob Pease

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology alumnus Bob Pease has been named president and chief executive officer of Motiva Enterprises LLC, a refining and marketing joint venture owned by affiliates of Shell and Saudi Aramco.  He replaces Bill Welte, who will retire November 1.

Since 2004, Pease has been president of Shell Trading Company, one of the world's largest energy trading companies, buying and selling more than 6 million barrels of hydrocarbons each day.  He was responsible for Shell's oil trading business in the United States, as well as a majority of Shell's worldwide trading operations in both oil and gas. 

With almost 30 years in the industry, Pease's experience encompasses all facets of the U.S. downstream business, and he offers a global perspective from his years in supply and trading and his involvement in three joint venture companies, according to a Motiva press release.

Pease earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering and a minor in economics from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in 1980.

Headquartered in Houston, Motiva Enterprises LLC is a refining and marketing joint venture owned by affiliates of Shell and Saudi Aramco.  Motiva's marketing operations support a network of more than 8,000 Shell-branded gasoline stations in the eastern and southern United States.  Company assets include three refineries located in Norco, La.; Convent, La.; and Port Arthur, Texas, currently capable of refining approximately 740,000 barrels per day, and ownership or partial interests in 41 product terminals.
