Bapco, officially Bahrain Petroleum Company, is an oil and gas company based in Awali near Manama, Bahrain. Its history stretches back to the discovery of oil in 1932, with crude exports beginning in 1934 and the region’s first crude refinery commissioned in 1936. The company is engaged in refining and distribution of petroleum products and in the sale and export of crude oil and refined products, contributing to Bahrain’s development and serving as a source of leadership and workforce advancement locally known as Ash Shariqa.

The organization continues to evolve within Bahrain’s downstream sector and broader energy development, pursuing modernization through a multi-billion-dollar refinery expansion that aims to increase capacity and incorporate advanced refining technology to meet evolving fuel specifications and environmental standards. Part of this initiative involves expanding the Sitra refinery to about 380,000 barrels per day, enabling processing of heavier crudes. Recent developments include a 2024 strategic secondment program with TotalEnergies and a 2026 collaboration with SLB and Geminus to deploy AI-driven solutions intended to improve extraction efficiency and overall output.
