Bahrain’s state-owned Bapco Energies plans to import heavier crude after the expansion of its 267,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) refinery to 380,000 bpd, Zawya has reported citing the company’s senior vice-president for business development and international and government relations.

The island nation gets about 220,000 bpd of oil from Saudi Arabia through a pipeline and uses 40,000 bpd of its local production for the refinery, Shaikh Ebrahim bin Khalid Al Khalifa told the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference (APPEC).

He said that to meet the oil needs of the expanded refining capacity, Bahrain would need to import heavier grades.
