BP in the United Kingdom
With our global headquarters in London and operations across the country, the UK is the hub of the entire BP business
What we do
BP operates in locations along the entire length of the UK, from Sullom Voe in the Shetlands to Hamble on the South Coast of England. We also have a chemical manufacturing site at Saltend near Hull, which plays an important role in the global chemical industry as well as being the global center for Research & Technology. Our offices in the UK support these and our worldwide operations.BP's UK Exploration and Production business is based in Aberdeen and accounts for approximately 10% of the company's global production. Assets include 45 producing fields, 33 platforms and 10 pipeline systems. Our North Sea projects encompass a complete lifecycle of activity from exploration and production to decommissioning. Although now a mature province, there is still an estimated 3 billion boe (barrels of oil equivalent) reserve potential in our North Sea portfolio.
BP’s Fuels Value Chain and convenience retail business which is based in Milton Keynes provides the support and skills needed to run the 1200 BP service stations in the UK which sell a range of high quality fuels including BP Ultimate.
At more than 300 company-owned and franchise sites you can find our BP Connect stores, alongside our award winning Wild Bean Cafes, which provide hot and cold snacks and fresh coffee for motorists. You can also find Marks and Spencer Simply Food outlets at more than 100 BP service stations in Scotland and England.

We’ve long been the country’s largest provider of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). We distribute our LPG supplies from a number of points in the UK including Wytch Farm in Dorset. Our customer base varies from domestic, to agricultural users of bulk LPG.
With over 1300 BP service stations in the UK, we not only offer a variety of BP fuels, our BP Connect and Wild Bean Café retail outlets also provide hot food and fresh coffee to the hungry motorist.
Community investment
We believe that a more educated society is a more sustainable society, so naturally we treat education as a priority. Since 1968, our UK Schools Link programme has put members of staff into primary and secondary schools to support subjects such as energy, environment, leadership and business skills. Our BP Educational Service provides exciting, energy-related teaching resources for the UK primary and secondary education curricula.
We also take education out of the classroom. With sponsorship and practical support from our energy experts, we helped to produce a new gallery at London’s Science Museum. It helps young people explore the different ways in which energy powers every aspect of our lives – and encourages them to think about how we can all play a part in meeting the planet’s growing energy demands in the years ahead.
Some of the capital’s most celebrated cultural institutions depend on BP for sponsorship and support. The BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery, free outdoor screenings of Royal Opera House productions and award-winning exhibitions at the British Museum are all part of our commitment to a vibrant society.
