British Petroleum Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BP Canada began operations in 1948 and for many years was in retail operations until Petro-Canada emerged in 1975. 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 and replaced by Petro-Canada outlets.
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.

[edit] Environmental Future
BP Canada, although it has a very "green" image will be anything but if it proceeds with its latest proposed projects in Alberta's Oilsands, and a massive coalbed methane development adjacent to Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, and just south of Banff-Kootenay-Yoho National parks.
