KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia/SEOUL Dec 1 (Reuters) - State-run 
Bahrain Petroleum Co (Bapco) has awarded a consortium led by 
UK-based TechnipFMC a contract to expand Bahrain's only oil 
refinery, sources close to the matter told Reuters on Friday. 
    Bahrain has long been planning to expand the refinery 
and industry sources told Reuters in August that Bapco held 
further talks with the consortium which submitted the lowest 
bid. 
    The consortium includes Spain's Tecnicas Reunidas and South 
Korea's Samsung Engineering. 
    Bapco and TechnipFMC did not respond to a request for 
immediate comment. 
    A spokesman for Samsung Engineering confirmed the news to 
Reuters. Tecnicas Reunidas declined to comment.
