What does the fuel company BP stand for?

There is a myth that BP changed their name from "British Petroleum" to "Beyond Petroleum" in 2001. This is incorrect and is not supported by the Company details held by Company House.BP P.L.C is the correct name and is registered at Company House in this name. The Company number is 00102498. It confirms that the name in 1998 was the British Petroleum Company P.L.C changing to BP Amoco P.L.C in 2001 and changing again to the present name BP P.L.C .BP did not change their name to Beyond Petroleum. The tagline 'Beyond Petroleum' refers to the company's re-branding in 2001 to signify it's venture into alternative fuels, etc.Company House by Law must hold the correct name of the Company.To be more precise as to the above...BP re-branded to "beyond petroleum" so technically to say BP stands for "beyond petroleum" would be accurate per the companies own website.per their website..."our brand is summed up by the 2 words 'beyond petroleum'"However, the company did NOT change its name to "Beyond Petroleum".The company name is BP P.L.C.
