Description of the company

BP plc. is a company engaged in the energy industry, oil exploration, natural gas production, refining and marketing of lubricants, service stations, photovoltaic cells, among others.

It was founded in 1908 under the name of "Anglo-Persian Oil Company", locating its first oil field in Iran, but after the oil nationalization carried out by the Iranian government in 1951, the company changed its name to "British Petroleum", from which the initials BP come from, eventually merging with several companies such as Castrol, Arco, Aral and Amoco,

Although its headquarters are located in London, United Kingdom, it has expanded into other territories such as Iraq, through the acquisition of licenses auctioned in 2009 that allow it to operate the Rumaila field, with subsidiaries in the United States, India and Alaska.

It has been the subject of multiple controversies due to its operations and financial actions, such as oil and diesel spills in Prudhoe Bay and in the Gulf of Mexico, leakage of thousands of chemical compounds in Texas City, causing severe environmental damage, for which it had to invest more than 2 billion euros in clean-up activities.
