The Petroleum Derivatives Pricing Committee formed pursuant to the system for pricing petroleum derivatives, commissions of licensees, and their Tariff No. (122) of 2019.

The Petroleum Derivatives Pricing System, Commissions of Licensees, and Their Tariff No. (122) of 2019 regulates the prices of petroleum derivatives by defining the pricing mechanisms for petroleum derivatives such as gasoline, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, and others according to specific criteria. The system also includes the duties and powers of the members of the Petroleum Derivatives Pricing Committee formed pursuant to this system.

The mechanism for pricing petroleum derivatives is specified in accordance with the bases approved in the system for pricing petroleum derivatives, commissions of licensees, and their Tariff No. (122) of  2019. The selling prices of petroleum derivatives are based on the global prices in the reference markets for a period of thirty days preceding the announcement of prices, plus all logistical costs of importation, transportation, storage, distribution, and others, in addition to the specific lump-sum tax imposed on petroleum derivatives as specified in System No. (107) of 2019, an amended system for the special tax. Consequently, the selling prices of petroleum derivatives are in line with global prices of petroleum derivatives, whether they rise or fall.

The authority responsible for determining fuel price differences is the Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission.

According to the Petroleum Derivatives Law No. (11) of 2018, the provisions related to petroleum derivatives do not apply to licensees under a special law, the armed forces/Arab Army, and security entities.

In case of a violation of the Petroleum Derivatives Law No. (11) of  2018, the procedures stipulated in the law are taken, depending on the type and size of the violation, such as: financial fines, imprisonment, revocation of the license, continuous monitoring, and these penalties aim to ensure compliance with the law and regulate the petroleum derivatives market in a fair and transparent manner.
