Minister of Oil
Alluaibi was approved as Minister of Oil by Iraq's parliament in August 2016 and on 15 August 2016 was sworn in as minister in the cabinet of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi. Alluaibi replaced former Minister of Oil Adel Abdul Mahdi, who had suspended his cabinet seat in March 2016. Alluaibi is not formally connected to any political party and had been criticizing the inefficiency of the ministry of oil as early as 2009. In December 2017 Aluaibi signed a crude-oil exchange deal with Iran for one year, to export oil from northern Iraqi Kirkuk oilfield. In early 2018 Iraq also signed a deal with a U.S. company to further develop oil and gas fields in the south. The deal was described as an "important step" by Alluaibi.

Aluaibi regularly appears on national and international media, commenting on the developments within Iraq's oil and gas sector.
