Tunisia Publishes All Oil Contracts

Monday, June 20, 2016

In a huge bid at transparency, the Tunisian government is publishing all of its oil and gas agreements. The Tunisian Minister of Energy and Mining, Mongi Marzouk, revealed that the Tunisian Agency for Oil Activities officially began publishing documents of all oil agreements that were signed in the country since 1960, according to a Zawya report.

Experts, investors, and journalists will all potentially have access data concerning the energy sector, including data on production, consumption, exports, imports, and the distribution of oil products.

Marzouk said the initiative represents a “step forward in the framework of a global strategy for a good management of the sector.” In addition to the publishing of the oil and gas contracts, the Ministry of Energy and Mining is preparing a data portal on investment in the hydrocarbon and mining sector.
