The Kingdom of Bahrain’s oil capacity is set to reach 600,000 barrels a day from the current 262,000 barrels a day, a senior official at the Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) said.

“The work on enhancing the production of oil at refinery is on the right track as Chevron is currently working on different models aimed at enhancing the oil production,” Faisal Al Mahroos, chief executive officer of Bapco, told journalists during annual Ramadan dinner.
“The Bahrain refinery development project is on the track and Chevron is studying different options to enhance the capactiy to 500, 000 to 600, 000 barrels a day from the current 262,000 barrels a day,” he added.
Al Mahroos said that Bapco was currently studying a new marine line for the oil pipline between Aramco and Babco from Ras Tanoor to Sitra. The cost of the new line, he said, is expected to be doubled as compared with the other options of landlines.
