Bapco Energies, the Kingdom of Bahrain’s integrated energy company, has declared a force majeure on parts of its group operations following the recent attack on its refinery complex amid the ongoing regional tensions in the Middle East.
The announcement comes after the refinery facilities were impacted during the escalation, prompting the company to activate emergency response and contingency measures to protect operations and ensure supply continuity.
Despite the disruption, Bapco Energies confirmed that fuel and energy supplies for Bahrain’s domestic market remain fully secure, thanks to proactive planning and strategic reserves designed to safeguard the Kingdom’s energy needs during unforeseen circumstances.
According to the company, the contingency plans already in place have ensured that local demand continues to be met without interruption, allowing essential services, industries, and transportation networks across Bahrain to operate normally.
Bapco Energies emphasized that the declaration of force majeure is a standard contractual measure used during extraordinary events that may temporarily affect operational obligations. The move allows the company to manage supply commitments while addressing operational challenges caused by the regional situation.
As Bahrain’s national energy company, Bapco Energies plays a critical role in managing the Kingdom’s refining, energy transition initiatives, and fuel supply infrastructure. The company operates one of the region’s most strategic refinery complexes in Sitra and continues to lead several modernization and sustainability projects within Bahrain’s energy sector.
The company also reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining strong relationships with its partners, customers, and stakeholders during this period.
Bapco Energies stated it will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as more information becomes available, while working to maintain operational resilience and energy security across the Kingdom.
