bp’s energy vision in Azerbaijan

Our EVP of production and operations, Gordon Birrell, sat down with AnewZ, a global news and analysis channel based in Azerbaijan, where bp has been operating for 32 years. In the interview, Gordon highlighted bp’s “next wave of investments, built on long, deep relationships.” These developments, he said, are key to bp’s reset strategy to grow its upstream production business.
