Bahrain’s Bapco Energies Declares Force Majeure on Operations

Bahrain’s main energy company, which operates the island nation’s only oil refinery, declared force majeure on operations that have been impacted by the ongoing war in the Middle East.

Bapco Energies said local market needs are being met, according to a statement. The company said last week the 90 year-old refinery was damaged in an attack. It recently boosted capacity at the plant to about 400,000 barrels a day and modernized units capable of producing more jet fuel and diesel.
