Present Minister of Natural Resources is Hon. Vickram Bharrat.

Guyana has taken steps to define the Oil and Gas Industry and to cater for investors. The former Minister of Natural Resources, Mr. Raphael G. C. Trotman is in the process of putting new and appropriate legislation in place. He has stated,

"Having this kind of [oil and gas] wealth is going to be beyond transformative [for Guyana]. We would like to temper our expectations and excitement with common sense and […] progress sensibly with cautious optimism."
