BP: a global employer
Of BP’s three business segments, most people worked in the Customer & products segment, at 63,400 full-time employees. The Oil production & operations department is the second largest, with 8,800 employees, compared with 4,800 people employed in its Gas & low-carbon energy segment. These people are employed throughout the world, as BP produces oil on almost every continent.
Employment within the global oil and gas industry
Although BP employs a large number of people, compared to other major global oil and gas companies it doesn’t even rank among the top ten. The largest oil and gas companies worldwide by employment are state-owned businesses such as Russia's Gazprom and China's PetroChina.
