The BP story

Starting in 1908 with the discovery of oil in Persia, their story has always been about transitions – from coal to oil, from oil to gas, from onshore to deep water, and now onwards towards a new mix of energy sources as the world moves into a lower carbon future

• First oil – 1901-1908 - The smell was unmistakable. It was a smell you could see. The vapors rose clearly in the sunlight, and stank of rotten eggs. But to the explorer George Reynolds it was the best thing he had smelled in seven years. He instructed the men to keep drilling
• Early history – 1909-1924 -To find oil in Persia, George Reynolds and his caravan of explorers had lived through seven years of harsh heat, gastric illnesses, and disappointments. The next seven years would be no less difficult for the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, which would one day become BP
• Through World War II – 1925-1945 -No longer the novelty ‘horseless carriages’ of old, cars flooded onto the streets of Europe and the United States in the 1920s and 30s. Bp-labeled gasoline pumps appeared around Britain, often flying little Union Jacks as a patriotic flourish. There were 69 pumps in 1921, over 6,000 by 1925
• Post-war – 1946-1970 -Like many companies, Anglo-Iranian, which would later become BP, lost a lot in World War II. But like many companies, it also gained the resolve it needed to keep moving forward
• Late century – 1971-1999 -Like many companies, Anglo-Iranian, which would later become BP, lost a lot in World War II. But like many companies, it also gained the resolve it needed to keep moving forward
• The new millennium – 2000-2012 -With the new millennium came a new focus for the company – within the first five years it had changed its name to BP, set its sights on newer assets, and established an alternative and low carbon energy business
