From a dramatic 1908 oil strike in Persia to becoming a global energy powerhouse, BP's journey spans imperial ties, nationalization crises, environmental disasters, and its ongoing transformation in a changing energy landscape.

Лучшая цитата из BP: Empire to Energy Giant

The company had to learn that in the oil business, you can't just rely on having the biggest fields—you need to be the most adaptable. Success isn't just about having oil reserves anymore; it's about having the technological capabilities to deliver energy solutions in whatever form customers need them.
