Bahrain’s oil refining giant Bapco has announced that steady progress is being made on its multibillion-dollar expansion project being implemented by a number of prestigious international companies, including Technip Energies (Italy), Technicas Reunidas (Spain) and Samsung (South Korea).
The Bapco Modernisation Programme (BMP), the largest project ever undertaken in the history of Bahrain, is aimed at increasing the refining capacity, enhancing the product list and improving energy efficiency so as to make Bahrain Refinery one of the most competitive in the region and one of the most environment-friendly, reported BNA.
This multibillion-dollar venture is the largest capital investment in its 90-year history, it stated.
Work has been completed on the main building for the control units south of Bapco Refinery, which includes all the control, monitoring and operation management systems for all the new facilities of the BMP project, said Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, HM the King’s Representative for Humanitarian Work and Youth Affairs, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bapco Energies, after a visit to the BMP work sites.
Following the inspection tour, Shaikh Nasser was briefed on the ongoing progress of the BMP project. A ceremony was later held to mark the completion of the main control units building under the BMP project. During the event, a unique three-dimensional model of the project was showcased, said the BNA report.
The model clearly and accurately shows all aspects of the facilities of the mega project, it added.
