Challenges

An offshore oil platform floats hundreds of kilometres from land. The nearest city is a day’s journey from there. To keep operations running smoothly, BP teams need instant access to huge amounts of data. At another location, a refinery employs thousands of people – and having a system that tracks their movements is vital to their safety. In London, our finance specialists are developing new models for pricing, and they need software to support their efforts. BP’s teams in IT pioneer new ways to solve problems by finding and applying the best digital technologies. By forging partnerships both within the organisation and with external specialists, IT is agile, flexible and effective.

About Information Technology & Services careers at BP

BP relies on information. It’s what tells us how deep to drill our wells and where the best path for our pipelines should be. It also keeps us informed of global energy prices and the costs of our projects. Our systems are some of the most advanced in the world – enabling us to take on projects that are as complex as they are geographically distant. But IT is more than the latest software. Our IT professionals are also experts in collaboration – they work across the group to support wider business goals. They’re fully engaged in the challenge of finding energy, and in maximising the value of our assets.
