They cited energy exploration projects in the Gulf Cooperation Council kingdom over the last 40 years.

"Bahrain was the first in the Middle East that tested for deep gas in the 1970s," Bapco chief executive officer Faisal Al Mahroos said. "Since then we have drilled five wells and developed a lot of expertise and know-how in deep gas field development. The wells have provided us with a lot of seismic information that will help us move ahead."

"We are here to share our know-how in taking projects to production," Al Mahroos said.
