Jet fuel
Bapco's Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa bin Ahmed appointed Dawood Nassif as chairman of the board of directors in July 2019. In December 2020, BAPCO's chairman Dawood Nassif, said that the company was aiming to reduce all fuel oil production and focus on Diesel fuel and Jet fuel by 2025. This is to be achieved through a $6.0 billion upgrade and modernization project at the flagship Sitra refinery. Oil Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Khalifa stated that construction on BAPCO's oil refinery expansion in Sitra had reached 60% completion. The expansion was to be completed by 2020 but due to delays cause by the COVID-19 pandemic, S&amp;P Global Platts stated that the plan has changed. Nassif said "We're going to make Jet fuel for delivery in 2023, which we believe will be smack on the recovery." Bapco announced in June 2020, that there would be cuts made in Foreign workers. Akhbar Al Khaleej told media that it was the company's intention to employ more Bahraini nationals, especially with the refinery expansion project to be completed in 2022.
