B.P.

Nature of Business: BP plc was historically both a manufacturer (involved in oil and gas exploration, production, and refining processes, which are factory-like operations) and a trader (involved in the marketing and sale of crude oil, natural gas, and refined petroleum products).

Current Status in Pakistan: BP sold its major upstream (exploration and production) assets in Pakistan to United Energy Pakistan (UEP) in 2010. While their direct operational footprint in Pakistan has significantly reduced since then, their brand might still have a presence through lubricants or other downstream activities via partners. Therefore, historically they operated as both a factory (producer) and a trader; currently, their direct manufacturing presence is minimal, while their trading/brand presence might exist through third parties.

BP Company in Pakistan primarily refers to BP Pakistan, a subsidiary of the global energy company BP plc. While BP divested its direct upstream oil and gas assets in Pakistan in 2010, its historical presence and brand influence mean it was involved in, and products associated with its group are still present in, certain sectors.

Historically, BP Pakistan was involved in the production and sale of:

Natural Gas

Crude Oil

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)

Currently, products associated with the BP group that are sold in Pakistan primarily include:

Lubricants (under the Castrol brand, which is owned by BP)
