America: The heart of bp’s transformation
In 2020, we set out our strategy to transition from an international oil company to an integrated energy company. In February 2024, we confirmed our destination is unchanged. We’re confident in our strategy to deliver this – but we're going to do so as a simpler, more focused and higher value company – and the US is at the heart of that strategy. Since 2005, we’ve invested more than $150 billion in our US operations.
