Bapco Modernization Project (BMP)

The Bapco Modernization Project (BMP) is the largest strategic undertaking in the Kingdom’s history. The BMP is set to enhance operational efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and adapt to an ever-changing energy landscape. This landmark project leverages the Kingdom’s natural resources to power long-term progress and contributes to strengthening energy security.

BMP’s objectives are to increase refining capacity, enhance the product slate, improve the energy efficiency, and emerge as one of the most competitive and environmentally compliant refineries in the region. The BMP is essential for Bapco Refining's long-term sustainability, and provides a sound foundation for realising the Kingdom of Bahrain’s Vision 2030.
