The Ministry of Energy and Mining regulates the industry. The Ministry of Finance and Planning is also involved in the energy sector. Its representatives are members of the Petroleum Affairs Board that is responsible for final approval of petroleum contracts. However, the Exploration and Production Authority, a state owned entity, exercises day-to-day control of the oil industry.
Fuel prices are managed and published by the Ministry of Finance and Planning in consultation with the Ministry of Energy and Mining, and the Cabinet.

Fuel Supply
The supply of fuel (Petrol, diesel and Jet A1) is consistent, and shortages are usually for a short duration. Darfur and the rest of Sudan experience delivery delays during the rainy seasons (May – October) and in some instances due to security, and long waiting time due to escorts. Fuel is delivered in 210-litre drums.
Seasonal Variations
Seasonal variation may affect the delivery and supplier of fuel. To circumvent any shortage of diesel, petrol, aviation fuel, it is important to have deliveries planned in advance. Jet A1 fuel shortages may cause UNHAS to reduce payload and carry extra fuel, which adversely impacts on the movement of freight and people.
