BAPCO refinery
Introduction
The project involves a major expansion and upgrade of the Sitra oil facility, increasing its total refinery throughput up to 380,000 barrels per day (MBPD) and expanding its products with the introduction of a high conversion unit and the integration and upgrading of existing and new utilities and offsites in compliance with international safety and environmental standards. This includes green field, brown field and offshore activities.
The new facility will also include a residual hydrocracking unit of 65 MBPD, a VGO hydrocracking unit of 58 MBPD and two hydrogen units of 125 MMSCFPD each.
Challenge
Technip Energies is providing advanced technologies to improve the capacity and efficiency of Bapco’s Bahrain refinery.
This complex project has presented several challenges. First, we are coordinating engineering activities among three contractors to ensure the same design and project execution methodology. We also are correlating material suppliers across the globe from Italy and Spain to South Korea. And we are integrating experts from various domains and geographical areas to meet client specifications.
Solution
State-of-the-art technology and expert project management
Technip Energies’ involvement in Bapco’s modernization program was not just to provide design, engineering and procurement support, but also to contribute to the plant’s operations. We are one of three companies working to upgrade the plant alongside Korea’s Samsung Engineering and Spain’s Técnicas Reunidas. As the lead project contractor, we are using our extensive management expertise and worldwide network to coordinate work among top operating centers and maintain a high level of quality control for suppliers and construction materials.
