09年排名第4 有是石油行业了。没办法啊。.英国石油公司（British Petroleum，简称BP），是世界最大私营石油公司之一（即国际石油七姊妹之一），也是世界前十大私营企业集团之一，2007年营业额达到公司2914.38亿美元。该前身是创立于1908年的盎格鲁波斯石油公司（Anglo-Persian Oil Company），1954年改称英国石油公司。该公司整合探油、探气、炼油、储油、售油、零售等营业领域。在1998年一次购并行动后，BP不再作为British Petroleum的缩写，而成为公司正式名称。在广告上，该公司有时使用“超越石油”“Beyond Petroleum”来宣传业务。1909-19551908年，英国人William Knox DArcy 获得伊朗国王批准，开始商业性地开发他在1901年于波斯湾发现的石油资源。1909年4月14日，新组建的“昂格鲁-波斯石油公司”(Anglo-Persian Oil Company，APOC)投入此项开发。初时业务进展不大，但第一次世界大战爆发时，英国政府认识到了石油资源的重要性，开始收购该公司股权，该公司也开始向皇家海军提供燃油。战后，英国政府已经拥有达51%之股份，并开展在欧洲各地的业务。但公司关注焦点仍然放在波斯湾。1931年，该公司购并了当时与其合作从事行销的壳牌公司，改组出一家“壳牌麦克斯英国石油公司”(Shell-Mex and BP Ltd)，但负责在伊朗(当时仍称波斯)的业务的仍是APOC。壳牌公司在1975年与英国石油分家。出于对帝国主义不满情绪的高涨，伊朗曾在1932年战时撤回对APOC的特许，经过一年谈判，双方协议给予伊朗更多股份和收益，该公司在湾区的业务才恢复。1936年波斯改称伊朗，该公司亦改称“昂格鲁-伊朗石油公司”(Anglo-Iranian Oil Company，AIOC)。二战以后区域内的民族情绪高涨。亲西方的伊朗政府在1949年曾短暂与该公司达成新协议。但1951年3月，亲西方的伊朗首相 Ali Razmara 被刺杀，一个月后，伊朗国会通过议案将AIOC国有化，并推举民族主义政治家穆沙德(Mohammed Mossadeq)为新首相。穆沙德认为，该公司是帝国主义剥削伊朗的代表，唯有国有化政策才能使伊朗人民享有应有权益。但英国政府成功地说服美国共同出面维护西方在海湾的利益，以抵制可能逐渐增加的苏联的影响，并声称穆沙德政权是亲共政府。1953年8月在美国中情局协助下，一场政变推翻穆沙德，“昂格鲁-伊朗石油公司”重回海湾，以40%外资股权方式在伊朗恢复业务，并正式改称“英国石油公司”(BP)。新方案虽使该公司稍受打击，但世界银行协助了BP 在海湾其他国家的投资计划，使其利润不坠。有英国石油公司早期商标的加油站 1960s-1980s1960年代起，英国石油公司开始关注美国阿拉斯加和欧洲北海的油源开发。这一新创举在1970年代实现量产，使英国石油公司能抗击后来发生的两次石油危机。但阿拉斯加的原住民声称，该公司在当地的开发是非法的掠夺。英国石油公司为拓展美国业务，1970年代又购并了美国“俄亥俄标准石油公司”(Standard Oil of Ohio)。1971年开始，在中东国家石油公司的股权已部分或全部被当地政府收归国有，1979年伊朗发生革命，英国石油在伊朗的霸权地位才告结束。BP plc (Formerly British Petroleum plc) is the third largest global energy company and the 4th largest company in the world.
