BP
SWE-CRS recognizes BP for its generous sponsorship of the Professional Development Conference.

BP is one of the world's largest energy companies, providing its customers with fuel for transportation, energy for heat and light, retail services and petrochemical products for everyday items. BP has grown from a local oil company into a global energy group; employing over 96,000 people and operating in over 100 countries worldwide. From Alaska to Azerbaijan, from the Gulf of Mexico to China, BP has exploration and production interests in 29 countries, 11 refineries, 80 ships, and thousands of retail outlets. Producing more than 3.8 million barrels of oil equivalent every day, BP brings energy from the very depths of the earth to virtually every corner of the globe. BP also has invested more than $28 billion over the last five years in U.S energy supplies including solar, wind, and natural gas. As demand grows, BP is going further and deeper to secure the energy that the world needs. Learn more about BP at www.bp.com.
