The Bapco Modernization Program (BMP) is the largest energy investment in the history of the Kingdom of Bahrain and has upgraded the existing refinery into a world-class, top-quartile refinery with reduced energy intensity.
The BMP's increased refining capacity from 267,000 barrels per day to 380,000 bpd – a 42% increase – and enhanced the product slate and improved the Energy Efficiency Index by up to 28%. The BMP also includes 21 new operating units and 15 new substations.
A standout feature of BMP is the Resid Hydrocracking unit, which will convert 78% of lower-grade feedstock into distillates, which will then be refined into high-margin diesel and kerosene.
