BP, formerly known as British Petroleum, is one of the world's 'supermajor' oil and gas companies. The brand's history is rooted in the early 20th century with the discovery of oil in Persia, which led to the formation of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. Over the decades, it evolved through mergers and global expansions to become a leading name in the energy sector.
BP's manufacturing and refining operations are truly global, with massive refineries located in various continents including North America, Europe, and Australia. The company extracts and processes crude oil and natural gas from diverse environments, ranging from deep-sea offshore rigs to onshore fields. In recent years, BP has also pivoted toward 'Integrated Energy,' investing significantly in renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and biofuels.
As a publicly traded multinational, BP is owned by various institutional and private shareholders globally. It remains headquartered in London, maintaining its status as a core pillar of British industry while operating locally through numerous subsidiaries and joint ventures in over 70 countries.
