The Energy Connoisseur delivers project leadership, process optimization, and strategic advisory across the oil and gas value chain — backed by peer-reviewed research in low-carbon transition, bioenergy, and computational optimization.
Energy organizations need both operators who can deliver and thinkers who can see three moves ahead. The Energy Connoisseur brings both — ten years of hands-on project delivery across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations, paired with published research on where the energy system is headed next.
Four disciplines, one throughline: decisions grounded in engineering rigor.
Lead complex energy projects from acquisition through commissioning, on time and on budget, using structured project controls at every phase.

The following reflects professional career experience delivered across prior roles, not engagements executed by The Energy Connoisseur as a firm.
Led cross-functional execution of a major oil field acquisition, coordinating technical, financial, and regulatory workstreams to close.
Directed end-to-end feasibility assessment — market analysis, regulatory review, financial modeling — for a proposed storage and distribution facility.
Applied Lean Six Sigma methods across cross-functional project delivery to reduce cost and cycle time.
Configured and standardized PLC/MES/SCADA systems to improve production data visibility and reliability.
Directed strategic planning and stakeholder coordination for a multi-million-dollar oil field acquisition, guiding executive decision-making with data analysis.
Managed diverse industrial client portfolios — FMCG, Steel, Textile, CNG, Power — improving commercial coordination and outcomes.
Original, peer-reviewed work in energy transition, carbon efficiency, and computational optimization.
A computational framework (DETOA) for planning the shift from fossil-based to renewable energy portfolios in emerging economies, balancing economic growth, energy security, and environmental targets.
A new algorithm (CEAOA) for optimizing carbon efficiency across oil and gas supply chains, benchmarked against existing approaches.
A review of how AI and renewable energy are converging in healthcare — improving diagnostic accuracy, accelerating drug discovery, and powering more sustainable medical facilities.
An analysis of solar, wind, geothermal, and hydrogen energy alongside carbon and methane capture pathways to net-zero.
A study on bioenergy's role in turning waste into a resource, using life cycle and carbon footprint analysis to evaluate its contribution to a circular economy.
Original optimization algorithms developed to model energy transition and carbon-efficiency scenarios, applied throughout our advisory work.
The Energy Connoisseur L.L.C. exists to bring peer-reviewed computational methods into practical project and strategic advisory — treating research as a working tool, not an academic exercise.
Led by Olubunmi (Bunmi) Bashiru, a project engineer and energy researcher with a decade of experience spanning upstream asset acquisition, downstream distribution, and industrial process optimization.
