Al-Zahrani is a senior official in the Islamic State’s oil division.

He controlled “at least five oil fields” in northeastern Syria as of early 2015 and also “oversaw the activities of seven [Islamic State] oil and gas officials.”

The facilities under his command have produced a lucrative business, generating “tens of millions of dollars in oil and gas revenues” during the seven month period between September 2014 and March 2015.

Zahrani joined the Islamic State’s “natural resources ministry,” which “oversees” the jihadists’ trade in oil and gas, in July 2014.

He was appointed to serve as the “oil and gas division official” for the Al Barakah Governorate (Al Hasakah Province) located in northeastern Syria.

In this capacity, he served “directly under” and regularly transferred funds to (oil and gas emir for Syria) Fathi Awn’ al Murad al Tunisi also known as Abu Sayyaf, who was killed by Coalition special forces in a raid in eastern Syria, in May 2015.
