About BP
Our business is the exploration, production, refining, trading and distribution of energy. This is what we do, and we do it on a truly global scale. With a workforce of 80,000 employees, BP operates with business activities and customers in more than 80 countries across six continents. Every day, we serve millions of customers around the world. We are continually looking for talented, committed and ambitious people to help us shape the face of energy for the future.

BP's Upstream segment focuses on finding reserves of oil and gas, developing the means to extract and process it and then consistently producing and transporting it to market. This involves using cutting edge technology to find the energy reserves, the ability to drill thousands of meters under the ground, designing, building and operating some of the world's largest most complex production onshore and offshore facilities and finally being able to transport these fluids, in order to provide energy to the world.

Our global business is constantly changing and we seek outstanding HSE professionals to help us shape our future.

Company Description

BP is constantly exploring new oil and natural gas fields. This means a continuous flow of new challenges for people in our Upstream business around the world.

Join our Upstream business and you'll be part of a team that finds, develops, recovers and transports oil and natural gas around the world. We operate in 22 countries and, taking into account our in-house team, contractors and joint ventures, Upstream employs about 100,000 people. Our major interests are in the USA, UK, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey (AGT), Angola, North Africa, Norway, Abu Dhabi, Oman, Jordan, Iraq, India, China, Australia, Indonesia, Brazil, Trinidad & Tobago, Russia and Canada.

We're continually developing new technologies to locate and access new resources. Using industry-leading seismic imaging we recover heavy oil and gas from unconventional rocks and maximise resources from existing and deepwater oil fields. Producing safe, reliable and efficient well operations is always our priority, and by integrating real-time data to our operations, we can manage risk from sand-prone reservoirs and reduce integrity risk.

In 2011, we had a record year for new access, gaining 55 exploration licences in nine countries, which opened up around 322,000 km2 of new fields. Despite major
developments like Mad Dog in the Gulf of Mexico, Clair Ridge in the UK, Tangguh in Indonesia and Rumaila in Iraq, we plan to more than double our exploration expenditure over the next few years. This means even more opportunity for upstream specialists - from engineers and geologists to operations, planning and logistics professionals.
