Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
Bahrain is an island nation in the Persian Gulf, located between the Qatar peninsula and the north-eastern coast of Saudi Arabia. Bahrain is part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC): the regional political and economic union comprising six countries of the region (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates).
Energy Companies
Oil:
Nogaholding, the Oil and Gas Holding Company, is the business and investment arm of NOGA.
Energy Supply
Gas:
Gas production stabilised in 2020 at 17 bcm, while it had previously increased by 14% in 2019 thanks to the improvement of existing fields and the commissioning by Banagas of a new gas production plant in 2018, which doubled the gas processing capacity.
Previously, gas production remained stable between 2014 and 2018 at nearly 15 bcm.
Energy Prices
Oil:
The fall in oil prices since 2014 (and absence of buffers despite the 2016-2018 recovery) has caused a significant deterioration in Bahrain's public finances. Consequently, the government resorted to austerity measures, with several increases in fuel prices over the last 6 years.
Energy Consumption
Per capita energy consumption reached 9 toe in 2020 (three times higher than the Middle East average and 5 times the global average), while electricity consumption per capita was 18 MWh (5 times the Middle East average and 6 times the global average), due to the aluminium sector.
Issues & Prospects
Oil:
In February 2022, the country announced it was considering hiring consultants to help sell stakes in oil and gas assets to open the sector to foreign investments.
