  • Bahrain, the oldest oil producer in the Persian Gulf, exports much of its oil in the form of refined petroleum products rather than crude oil.
  • Bahrain has modest natural gas reserves, and it consumes all the natural gas that it produces.
  • Bahrain was integrated into the GCC power grid in 2009, ensuring adequate electricity supply even in emergencies.
