bp (formerly British Petroleum) is a UK-based integrated energy company with global operations across upstream oil and gas, refining, fuels marketing and lubricants, and energy trading. Its downstream businesses produce and distribute transportation fuels and supply hydrocarbon intermediates such as naphtha, LPG, and hydrogen that serve as feedstocks for petrochemical manufacturing. bp was historically a major producer of aromatics and acetyls but sold those petrochemicals businesses in 2020, and today focuses its chemicals-related activities around refining-linked feedstocks and lubricants.
Alongside its conventional operations, bp invests in lower-carbon energy, including bioenergy, sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel pathways, hydrogen, and carbon capture and storage, aiming to reduce the carbon intensity of its portfolio and support industrial decarbonization. The company collaborates with partners across agriculture, refining, and technology to develop scalable feedstock supply and advanced fuels, while continuing to operate large refining and logistics assets that are integral to chemical and fuels value chains.
