BP plc,〔〔 also referred to by its former name British Petroleum, is one of the world's seven "supermajor" oil and gas companies.〔 It is a British multinational company, headquartered in London, England, whose performance in 2012 made it the world's sixth-largest oil and gas company, the sixth-largest energy company by market capitalization〔 and the company with the world's fifth-largest revenue (turnover).〔〔 It is a vertically integrated company operating in all areas of the oil and gas industry, including exploration and production, refining, distribution and marketing, petrochemicals, power generation and trading. It also has renewable energy interests in biofuels and wind power.
As of December 2013, BP has operations in approximately 80 countries,〔 produces around of oil equivalent,〔 has total proved reserves of of oil equivalent,〔 and has around 17,800 service stations.〔〔 Its largest division is BP America in the United States. In Russia BP owns a 19.75% stake in Rosneft, the world's largest publicly traded oil and gas company by hydrocarbon reserves and production. BP has a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index; it had a market capitalisation of £85.2 billion as of April 2013, the fourth-largest of any company listed on the exchange.〔 It has secondary listings on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
BP's origins date back to the founding of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in 1908, established as a subsidiary of Burmah Oil Company to exploit oil discoveries in Iran. In 1935, it became the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and in 1954 British Petroleum.〔〔 In 1959, the company expanded beyond the Middle East to Alaska and in 1965 it was the first company to strike oil in the North Sea. British Petroleum acquired majority control of Standard Oil of Ohio in 1978. Formerly majority state-owned, the British government privatised the company in stages between 1979 and 1987. British Petroleum merged with Amoco in 1998, becoming BP Amoco plc, and acquired ARCO and Burmah Castrol in 2000, becoming BP plc in 2001. From 2003 to 2013, BP was a partner in the TNK-BP joint venture in Russia.
BP has been directly involved in several major environmental and safety incidents. Among them were the 2005 Texas City Refinery explosion, which caused the death of 15 workers and resulted in a record-setting OSHA fine; Britain's largest oil spill, the wreck of ''Torrey Canyon''; and the 2006 Prudhoe Bay oil spill, the largest oil spill on Alaska's North Slope, which resulted in a US$25 million civil penalty, the largest per-barrel penalty at that time for an oil spill.〔
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the largest accidental release of oil into marine waters in history, resulted in severe environmental, health and economic consequences,〔 and serious legal and public relations repercussions for BP. 1.8 million gallons of Corexit oil dispersant were used in the cleanup response, becoming the largest application of such chemicals in US history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-using-dispersants-fighting-pollution-with-pollution/ )〕 The company plead guilty to 11 counts of felony manslaughter, two misdemeanors, and one felony count of lying to Congress, and agreed to pay more than $4.5 billion in fines and penalties, the largest criminal resolution in US history.〔〔〔
Legal proceedings are continuing, with proceedings set to commence in January 2015〔 〕 to determine payouts and fines under the Clean Water Act and the Natural Resources Damage Assessment.〔〔Richard Thompson for NOLA.com and ''The Times-Picayune''. 16 April 2013 (BP oil spill trial continues as demonstrators note upcoming 3-year anniversary of disaster )〕〔Deon Daugherty for the ''Houston Business Journal''. 5 April 2013 (Judge dismisses latest BP injunction in oil spill settlement dispute )〕〔Andrew Callus and Braden Reddall for Reuters. 20 February 2013 (U.S. judge accepts BP collected 810,000 barrels in spill )〕 In September 2014, the judge ruled in the first phase of the case that BP was "reckless" and committed "gross negligence," in a "worst case" ruling that could cost BP $18 billion in additional penalties above the $28 billion already expended on the spill by that time. BP is appealing the ruling, which raised concerns about BP's future. They settled in July 2015 in the amount of 19 Billion plus the original amount.〔〔
