The BP story, from first oil to tomorrows

energies
Our history is full of discoveries, starting in 1908 with oil found in a
rugged part of Persia after a long and difficult search. Since then,
discoveries large and small (and sometimes just in the nick of time)
have fuelled our progress.
In our story, you may make a few discoveries of your own. Winston
Churchill gives a rousing speech. The Smurfs cause a traffic jam. Our
employees help construct a giant spool, build the worlds largest
deepwater pipeline and bring solar power to remote villages in the
Philippines.
