British Petroleum, a British-Dutch combine are a major player in the energy industry, and in the liquid fuels and lubricants segment of that industry.
In that field they are a vertically integrated company, with activity from exploration and primary production, through refining and distribution, to the client-scale product manufacture and sales.
They also have tried to make their fuel stops incorporate food outlets.
Their interests extend beyond petroleum. They have significant gold and copper mining interests, as well as oil shale and coal-bed methane production.
They are perhaps number 3 in wind power , and have about 20% of the world production of solar panels. Much of the latter can be expected to be sourced from China.
They are the fourth largest company in the world by revenues, and like most large multi-discipline companies, have the occasional large disaster, of which the most recent notable one if the Deepwater Horizon Blowout.
