The National Oil and Gas Authority (Arabic: الهيئة الوطنية للنفط والغاز) was the governmental body in Bahrain responsible for developing and implementing the government policy for exploiting the country's oil and gas resources.[1]

Nogaholding was established in August 2007 as a subsidiary unit of NOGA. Nogaholding was intended to concentrate and refocus NOGA's oil, gas, and petrochemical development activities.[2]

NOGA was abolished in September 2021, and all its activities, responsibilities, and personnel transferred to Bahrain's Ministry of Oil. Nogaholding became a semi-independent agency within the Ministry of Oil.[3]
