Our centenary
On 14 April 2009
BP celebrated its 100th birthday. BP started life as a
pioneering company, at the frontier of what was possible.
We continue to push back the boundaries, from the giant finds in the Middle East, to the frozen tundra of Alaska, and by securing access to new resources and markets around the world.
The pioneering spirit that founded the company still drives us forward, confidently into our next 100 years.
