The Company is known as the incubator of much of the leadership talent in Bahrain developed over many decades. Bapco Refining touches all aspects of life in the Kingdom.
 
 
 With a rich history of more than 85 years, the adventure continues with new ambitions and initiatives in the downstream sector as well as oil and gas field development. The most recent is the Company&rsquo;s multi-billion dollar expansion project which will significantly increase the Refinery&rsquo;s capacity and employ the latest refining technology to meet future customer demands, latest fuels specifications and environmental compliance.
