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.
