About BP:
BP p.l.c.[4][5] (LSE: BP,
NYSE: BP) is a
global oil and gas company headquartered in London, United
Kingdom. It is the third-largest energy company and fourth-largest company
in the world measured by revenues and one of the six oil and gas "supermajors".[6][7] It is vertically-integrated and is active in every area of the oil and
gas industry, including exploration and production, refining, distribution and
marketing, petrochemicals, power
generation and trading. It also has major renewable
energy activities, including in biofuels, hydrogen, solar and wind
power.
BP has operations in over 80 countries, produces around 3.8
million barrels of oil equivalent per day and has 22,400 service stations
worldwide.[8][9] Its largest
division is BP America, which is the biggest producer of oil and gas in the United
States and is headquartered in Houston, Texas.[10][11][12] As at 31 December
2009 it had total proven commercial reserves of 18.3 billion barrels of oil equivalent.[3] The name "BP"
derives from the initials of one of the company's former legal names, British Petroleum.[13][14]
BP's track record of corporate social responsibility has been mixed. The company has been involved in a
number of major environmental and safety incidents and received criticism for its political influence. However
in 1997 it was the first major oil company to publicly acknowledge the need to take steps
against climate
change, and in that year established a
company-wide target to reduce its emissions of greenhouse
gases.[15] BP currently invests
over $1 billion per year in the development of renewable energy sources, and has committed to spend $8 billion
on renewables in the 2005 to 2015 period.[16]
Its primary listing is on the London Stock Exchange and it is a constituent of the FTSE 100
Index. It has a secondary listing on
the New
York Stock Exchange.
British Petroleum merged with Amoco (formerly Standard Oil of Indiana) in December 1998,[36] becoming BP Amoco
plc.[37] In 2000, BP Amoco
acquired Arco (Atlantic
Richfield Co.)[38] and Burmah
Castrol plc.[39] As part of the
merger's brand awareness, helped the Tate
Modern British Art launch RePresenting Britain 1500-2000[40] In 2001 the company
formally renamed itself as BP plc[37] and adopted the
tagline "Beyond Petroleum," which remains in use today. It states that BP was never meant to be an abbreviation
of its tagline. Most Amoco stations in the United States were converted to BP's brand and corporate identity. In
many states BP continued to sell Amoco branded petrol even in service stations with the BP identity as Amoco was
rated the best petroleum brand by consumers for 16 consecutive years and also enjoyed one of the three highest
brand loyalty reputations for petrol in the US, comparable only to Chevron and Shell. In May 2008, when the Amoco
name was mostly phased out in favour of "BP Gasoline with Invigorate", promoting BP's new additive, the highest
grade of BP petrol available in the United States was still called Amoco Ultimate.
In April 2004, BP decided to move most of its petrochemical
businesses into a separate entity called Innovene within the BP Group. BP sought to sell the new company possibly
via an initial public offering (IPO) in the US, and filed IPO plans for Innovene
with the New
York Stock Exchange on 12 September 2005. On 7 October 2005 BP
announced that it had agreed to sell Innovene to INEOS, a privately held UK chemical
company for $9 billion, thereby scrapping its plans for the IPO.[41]
In 2005, BP announced that it would be leaving
the Colorado market.[42] Many locations
were re-branded as Conoco.[43]
In 2006, when Chevron Corporation gave exclusive rights to
the Texaco brand name in the U.S. Texaco sold most of the BP gas stations in the southeast. BP has
recently looked to grow its oil exploration activities in frontier areas such as the former Soviet Union for its
future reserves.[44] In Russia, BP owns
50% of TNK-BP with the other half owned by three Russian billionaires. TNK-BP accounts for a fifth of BP's
global reserves, a quarter of BP's production, and nearly a tenth of its global profits.[45]
In 2007, BP sold its corporate-owned convenience stores,
typically known as "BP Connect", to local franchisees and jobbers.[46]
On 12 January 2007, it was announced that Lord Browne would
retire as chief executive at the end of July 2007.[47] The new Chief
Executive, Tony
Hayward, had been head of exploration and
production. It had been expected that Lord Browne would retire in February 2008 when he reached the age of 60,
the standard retirement age at BP. Browne resigned abruptly from BP on 1 May 2007, following the lifting of a
legal injunction preventing Associated Newspapers from publishing details about his private life.
Hayward succeeded Browne with immediate effect.[48]
On October 1, 2010, Bob
Dudley replaced Tony
Hayward as the company's CEO.[49]
On 15 January 2011, Rosneft and BP announced a deal to jointly develop East-Prinovozemelsky field on the Russian arctic shelf. As part of the
deal Rosneft will receive 5% of BP's shares (worth approximately $7.8 billion, as of January 2011) and BP will
get approximately 9.5% of Rosneft's shares in exchange.[50] According to the
deal, the two companies will also create an Arctic technology centre in Russia to develop technologies and
engineering practices for safe arctic hydrocarbons extraction.[51]
