Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Bapco Refining manages and exports LPG on behalf of the Bapco Energies Group. Our LPG is used in everyday applications such as cooking, heating and power generation, as well as feedstock to petrochemicals plants.
Naphtha
Bapco Refining oversees the management and export of Naphtha for the Bapco Energies Group. Bapco Refining’s Naphtha is utilized in a variety of everyday applications, including the production of high-octane gasoline, as feedstock for petrochemical industries to produce ethylene and propylene, in the manufacturing of solvents, and as a key component in the production of plastics and synthetic fibers.
Gasoline
Nearly all our Gasoline production is consumed in the domestic market, but occasionally exports are available from Sitra Wharf. Unlike other commodities, Gasoline is often blended using several components to meet specification requirements.
Jet Fuel/Kerosene
We export our barrels of Jet A-1 for commercial aviation from Sitra Wharf and also supply the Bahrain International Airport’s demand through a dedicated pipeline. Our Jet A-1 quality meets the latest international specifications’ requirements of DEF STAN 91-091, the ASTM Standard D-1655, and complies with the latest Aviation Fuel Quality and Jointly Operated Systems (AFQRJOS) checklist.
Gasoil
Bapco Refining’s Refinery specializes in blending and handling multiple grades of Gasoil. All our exported Gasoil complies with a maximum specification of 10 ppm sulphur content. We also supply low-sulphur marine diesel to meet our customers’ bunkering needs.
Fuel Oil
Our High-Sulphur Fuel Oil is currently primarily used for environmentally compliant power plants.
Sulphur
Sulphur is a by-product of the Refinery, extracted from refined petroleum products to meet global environmental regulations. In our Sulphur Handling Facility, the extracted liquid Sulphur is converted into bright yellow solid pastilles and granules, ready to be exported through Khalifa bin Salman Port (KBSP) and used as raw material in manufacturing fertilizers and insecticides.
BAPbase®
Branded globally as BAPbase®, our Group III Base Oils are in increasing demand to meet the requirements for high performance and fuel efficiency of automotive and industrial applications, while meeting stringent environmental regulations. Our BAPbase® is available for export in various cargo sizes.
