Risks and Contracts
Effective risk management and clear contracts are crucial in energy trading. I help you identify and assess risks as well as to create organisational and contractual foundations to manage these - as required in close cooperation with your commercial and legal teams or external partners.
My Mission

I rely on a clear understanding of causality, personal customer relationships and an excellent network to offer tailor-made advice. My focus is on credibility, many years of experience and innovative solutions to ensure that my customers always receive the best possible advice.
Christian Pedersen
Manager Upstream Optimisation at
Equinor ASA
"I got to know Rassul from his time working on various Norwegian gas and transportation agreements at Wintershall prior to the merger with DEA. Despite some tricky negotiation cases with many million Euros disputed and haggled about, I have always enjoyed his personal, fair and win-win-oriented negotiation style, which enabled us to eventually find mutually beneficial agreements.
As far as I can tell, these agreements were the stepping stone for Wintershall’s journey to become a powerful Norwegian gas exporter and competitor of Equinor. Despite these new commercial realities for Equinor, I would personally like engaging with Rassul again and again!“
Paul Smith
Global Energy Executive, former CFO and
Board Member of Wintershall Dea AD
"Together with Rassul, I have successfully navigated the gas trading business of Wintershall Dea through the unprecedented European energy crisis following the Russian invasion into Ukraine. On top and thanks to the strategic and flexible market access, the team was even able to deliver significant value from the market volatility for the company during the time of crisis.
I have enjoyed working with Rassul, his reliability, professional work style, approachable communication and ever present will for improvement. Unfortunately, we could not bring it to further highs in Wintershall Dea as the company was recently sold."
Jochen Wagner
Teamlead Contracting & Regulatory Affairs Natural Gas Europe at BASF SE
"During our long cooperation, Rassul successfully adapted and agreed with me a range of gas supply agreements necessary for BASF to secure a competitive chemical production through-out Europe. Together, we made the journey from traditional full supply arrangements to modern portfolio and service arrangements a success story by continuously maintaining competitive pricing structures and including new flexibilities for BASF.
Thanks to his clear perception of our needs as customer, his market knowledge and creativity, we were able to find and structure these new arrangements in a professional and sustainable manner. However, we never forgot to have fun too – looking forward to cooperating again with Rassul in the future.“
