BP fuel and energy services

BP, formerly known as British Petroleum, is one of the world's largest integrated oil and gas companies. Its history dates back to the early 20th century, originating from the Anglo-Persian Oil Company founded in 1909 following the discovery of oil in Iran. Over the decades, the company has expanded its operations globally, involving exploration, production, refining, and marketing of energy products.

Today, BP operates in nearly 80 countries, producing oil and gas from various regions including the North Sea, the United States, Azerbaijan, and Angola. In addition to its traditional fossil fuel operations, the company has transitioned significantly toward renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, and biofuels, as part of its 'Beyond Petroleum' strategy and net-zero ambitions.

As a public limited company, BP is owned by numerous institutional and individual shareholders, with its primary listing on the London Stock Exchange. The company remains headquartered in London, maintaining its status as a British multinational corporation while managing a complex network of subsidiaries and joint ventures worldwide.
