Bapco has exceeded its planned crude throughput target for 2011 set at the beginning of the year despite some interruptions to operation during the unrest period in February and March 2011.
Bapco also recorded the highest ever monthly average crude run of 271,000 barrels per day in November 2011. This is all a tremendous achievement, which is a testament to the hard work, diligence and dedication of all Bapco staff and contractors, in ensuring that the refinery processed safely the maximum possible crude rate.
“We take full pride in this achievement which reflects the dedication of our employees and contractors,” Bapco’s Chief Executive, Gordon Smith, said.
“We realize the importance of the Bapco refinery to the national economy, and we will continue to strive for excellence in meeting our targets and maximizing revenues to the Kingdom of Bahrain, under the leadership of the Minister of Energy, Chairman of National Oil and Gas Authority, and Chairman of Bapco’s Board of Directors, Dr. Abdulhussain bin Ali Mirza”, Smith added.
