Bahrain’s Oil and Gas Holding Company (nogaholding) has rebranded as Bapco Energies to reflect its evolution from a traditional oil and gas company into an innovative, progressive and ambitious one that will support the Kingdom’s energy security.
Under Bapco Energies, the existing operating companies, including Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco), Bahrain National Gas Company (Banagas), Bahrain National Gas Expansion Company (Tawseah), Bahrain Aviation Fueling Company (Bafco), Tatweer Petroleum, and Bapco Retail Company (Tazweed) will be integrated and rebranded into seven businesses over the next three years.
The unveiling was done by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Bahrain's Crown Prince and Prime Minister, who highlighted the importance of investing in the oil and gas sector, as well as strengthening initiatives that ensure sustainability, create opportunities for Bahraini citizens, and impact the development of vital sectors.
Speaking at the brand unveiling, His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, His Majesty’s Representative for Humanitarian Works and Youth Affairs, Chairman of Bapco Energies, said: "Today is a historic day as we embark on writing a new chapter for the future of energy in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Energy security is confronted with the realities of the world we live in and we need to implement a forward-thinking transition roadmap, mobilized by a diversified mix of energy sources, while ensuring we meet our climate action commitments."
He added: "Embracing renewable energy not only unlocks new investments, but also fuels innovation in financing, fosters collaboration among technology leaders, and creates economic opportunities for the nation."
