BP Canada

BP Canada is a Canadian oil company that is a subsidiary of British-owned BP plc (formerly British Petroleum). It began operations in 1948 and for many years was in retail operations until they were acquired by Petro-Canada in the 1980s. In 1971, BP Canada acquired Supertest Petroluem, a Canadian oil and gas company.

BP Canada was created over the years from merger and spin-offs of number of companies:

* Hudson’s Bay Oil and Gas
* Dome Petroleum
* Amoco
* Crestar Energy
* CANMAR
* Syncrude
* Honolulu Oils

BP retail operations disappeared from Canada in the early 1980s when they were sold to Petro-Canada, which was at the time owned by the Government of Canada.

Today BP operates as producer of natural gas and has operations in Alberta, British Columbia, East Coast and in the North. Its headquarters is in Calgary, Alberta with 1400 employees.
