Immediately after the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico, BP asked its most senior safety professional, Mark Bly, to lead an investigation relating to the causes of the incident and make recommendations to help prevent such accidents from occurring. The investigation led to 26 recommendations for reducing risk in BP's drilling operations. Since the report's publication in 2010, BP has made a significant progress in implementing those 26 recommendations. BP Magazine finds out more In September 2010, four months after the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico, BP released its Deepwater Horizon Accident Investigation Report, known as the Bly Report, concluding that the accident resulted from a complex, interlinked series of failures involving multiple parties.

The report was the work of an investigation team led by BP’s head of safety and operations, Mark Bly, and consisted of more than 50 technical and other specialists, drawn not only from BP but also the wider energy industry.

The team made 26 recommendations specific to drilling, aimed at further reducing risk. Accepting all of these recommendations, BP committed to their implementation across its worldwide drilling operations and the recommendations are now in the process of being implemented into the well designs by engineers and operations personnel.

That implementation is overse...

BP’s risk management process is designed to help ensure that risks are identified, understood and managed so that we can deliver safe and strong operations We initiated a review of our risk management system in 2011 to identify what might be done to enhance the clarity, simplicity and consistency of our system, and have begun implementing enhancements. Our system is designed to generate consistent reporting of risks and prioritization of risk mitigation plans by our businesses, including for low-probability, potentially high-consequence scenarios. Our enhanced risk management system focuses on three levels of activity: Day-to-day risk identification and management occurs in the group operations and functions, with the approach varying according to the types of risk we face. We assess and manage these day-to-day risks with reference to our operating management system (OMS) and agreed action plans. Periodic collation and review of risks and risk management plans happens at the business and functional level, including major accident risk and other potentially high-consequence risks. Oversight and governance occurs at board, executive and function levels to help foster effective group-wide oversight, business planning and resource allocation, intervention and knowledge sharing.

BP America, Inc. announced today it will donate $1 million to support disaster relief efforts in Louisiana and Mississippi following Hurricane Isaac. The donation will be made to the American Red Cross and The Salvation Army and divided equally between the two hardest-hit states. “This assistance cannot fix all that has been broken by this natural disaster, but we hope it can help some of those in need today and contribute to a sustained recovery effort in the months ahead,” said Crystal E. Ashby, Executive Vice President of Government and Public Affairs for BP America. The storm forced BP to evacuate workers from offshore platforms and drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as from onshore facilities in south Louisiana and Mississippi, where hundreds of BP employees live. Separate from this donation, BP is also providing assistance to our employees and their families in the region.

BP announced today that it has been selected to enter exclusive negotiations to secure the position as the foreign partner in the JV tasked to develop China's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal and associated pipeline. The Chinese sponsors and BP will jointly conduct a Feasibility Study which, once approved by Chinese authorities, will lead to the formation of a JV company responsible for the construction and initial operating phase of the new plant. The Guangdong project in southern China will consist of an LNG re-gassification terminal near the city of Shenzhen, with a capacity of three million tonnes a year, together with 300 km of associated pipeline linking the terminal to the region in its first phase. It is due on stream in 2006.

A successful finalisation of the negotiations will lead to BP taking a 30% equity stake in the project, partnering with a coalition led by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) (33%), local Guangdong companies (31%) and two Hong Kong energy companies (6%).

"This is a significant new step in expanding our China operations, and an excellent strategic fit with our Asia-Pacific gas reserves,” BP chief executive Sir John Browne said.

"The Guangdong project will cement our position as a leading global partner for China's rapidly growing gas markets and provides a platform for further growth for the BP Group in the province of Gua...

Over the last 30 years China has been through dramatic change. At BP we haven’t just watched it happen, we’ve been part of it

What we do Since we arrived in China in 1973, our development can be followed in three stages. In the beginning, our growth came from chemicals licensing and marketing. During the 1980s this shifted into onshore and offshore exploration. By mid 1990s, we found ourselves in large-scale equity investment and manufacturing. To date we’re one of the largest foreign energy investors in the country with nearly $5 billion of cumulative commercial investment.

BP China’s work here is varied and wide. Its business activities include offshore gas production, chemical joint ventures, aviation fuel supply, LPG marketing, oil product and lubricant retailing and the sales of chemicals technologies. We were one of the first foreign companies in China to explore for oil and gas offshore. The Yacheng 13-1 gas field was one of China’s largest offshore gas discoveries we made, and it’s currently operated by our business partner CNOOC and supply Hong Kong and Hainan Province.

On land, we are also playing a big role in bringing liquefied natural gas (LNG) to consumers in Guangdong and Fujian provinces. Working with our Chinese partners, we are proud to be the only foreign partner in China’s first LNG terminal in Shenzhen. We’re also making a large-scale investment in chemicals ...
