Libyan Ministry of Oil

The Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC), which manages the national oil and gas industry, was created by the Ministry of Oil and sits under it.

In November 2012 Abdelbari al-Arusi was appointed head of the Ministry of Oil, replacing interim Minister Abdul Rahman Ben Yezza who held the post for just over a year. Al-Arusi has previous experience at Sirte Oil Company, which was interrupted by an 8 year stay in Libya's Abu Salim prison as punishment for being a member of the then underground Muslim Brotherhood movement. Deputy minister Omar Shakmak remained in his position following Libya's official liberation.
