BP

Bp Plc

A global energy company that finds, extracts, and refines oil and natural gas, and sells fuels and lubricants to motorists and industry under brands like BP, Castrol, and Aral. It traces its roots to 1909, when the Anglo-Persian Oil Company was formed after oil was struck in Persia (now Iran), and later took the name British Petroleum — the source of the "BP" initials. A fun detail: the company's green-and-yellow sunburst logo, introduced in the 1920s, was inspired by the Greek sun god Helios.
