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.

All British Companies must by law provide Company details to Company House. The name shown on these documents must be the trading name. British Petroleum ceased to exist in 1998.
