BP, formerly known as British Petroleum, is one of the world's 'supermajor' oil and gas companies. Its origins trace back to the founding of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in 1909, following the discovery of oil in Iran. Over the decades, the company evolved through various mergers and rebrandings, notably acquiring Amoco in 1998 and ARCO in 2000, which expanded its global footprint significantly.

Today, BP operates as a vertically integrated energy company involved in exploration, production, refining, distribution, and marketing. While its historical roots are firmly planted in the United Kingdom, its manufacturing and refining processes take place in numerous countries across every continent, including major operations in the United States, Germany, and Australia. In recent years, the brand has shifted its strategic focus toward becoming an integrated energy company, investing heavily in low-carbon energy solutions such as wind, solar, and hydrogen alongside its traditional petroleum business.
