The history of ONHYM is one of challenges, innovation, and confidence in the future. It is a long and distinguished story that began in 1928 and continues to this day. ONHYM was created in 2005 through the merger of BRPM (Bureau de Recherches et de Participations Minières – Mining Research and Participation Bureau) and ONAREP (Office National de Recherches et d’Exploitation Pétrolières – National Office for Petroleum Research and Exploitation). Since their creation—BRPM in 1928 and ONAREP in 1981—these two organizations have been pioneers and leaders in Morocco in their respective fields.

It is with renewed momentum, driven by a renewed strategic vision and a stimulating and enabling legal framework, that ONHYM has consolidated the achievements of the merged organizations, both in terms of expertise in the exploration, production, and processing of minerals and hydrocarbons, and in terms of cooperation, promotion, and partnerships.
