Yes, BP is a British company.
It stands for British Petroleum. The correct name is BP P.L.C. The company is an amalgamation of BP, Amoco, Arco and Sohio. The latter three companies American Companies. In 1998 it was called the British Petroleum Company P.L.C and on buying Amoco changed the name to BP Amoco P.L.C in 2001. The name was subsequently changed to BP P.L.C.

Partially British and partly American, I think the shares stand at 40% British, 39% American. The CEO is British but the chairman is a Swede, BP have ditched the name British Petroleum after the merge with American oil company AMOCO.
The BP company and brand was originally short for British Petroleum however BP has not been 'British Petroleum' for some considerable time, after several mergers and acquisitions with companies such as Castrol, ARCO and latterly Amaco it changed it's name to BP Amaco, by this time the majority of its shares were in European and US ownership, in 2000 it re branded to the current name BP with the new slogan "Beyond Petroleum"
BP purchases its oil from OPEC countries such as Angola, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Nigeria. BP is a multinational oil company and is headquartered in London
BP, originally known as the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, was founded in 1909 and primarily funded by a group of investors led by William Knox D'Arcy, who secured oil exploration rights in Iran. The British government also played a significant role in its early financing, seeking to secure oil supplies for the Royal Navy. Over the years, BP has grown through various mergers, acquisitions, and investments from public and private sectors.

BP is owned by BP also known as British Petroleum. It is headquartered in London, England and is the 6th largest oil company in the world.
BP is mostly British AND American - 40% shareholders are British and 39% are US. Thus 21% are owned by shareholders in a number of other countries. Hence, it is, arguably, not a British or American company in the true sense but a multinational one.Note also, while the CEO is British, the Chairman is Swedish.While the parent company of the Group, BP plc, is registered in Britain, different parts of the BP Group are registered companies in different countries, including the USA, Britain and Russia, to name just three.Plus, BP is more correctly known as BP, and NOT British Petroleum. It has not been legally known as British Petroleum since 2001, when BP merged with the US company AMOCO.The company within the group that is actually closest associated with the Gulf oil spill is actually BP USA Inc.It is, therefore, argued that BP USA Inc that should be burdened with the cost of the oil spill cleanup, and not the whole of the BP international group.
the answer is BP, with is the british petrolium company I hope that will help in the future :)
British Petroleum (BP), that's why it is also known as 'BP Oil Spill'...
