Talk:BP Canada

A correction and some updates
request edit Hello, as my username suggests, I am an employee at BP and have been representing the company on Wikipedia since last summer, providing suggestions and information to improve the BP article. On behalf of my colleagues at BP Canada, there are a few updates to this article that I would like to request, including a correction to the name of the company in the article's introduction. I have three requests for the introduction and one for the Heritage through Amoco section, addressing outdated information.

1. Introduction:

✅ Beagel (talk) 16:19, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Per the BP website, the correct full name of BP Canada is: BP Canada Energy Group ULC


 * The introduction includes the following sentence, which is now out of date following the divestment of the company's natural gas operations, as explained in this Globe and Mail article:
 * The current BP operations in Canada, mainly as a producer of natural gas, is through the 1998 worldwide merger of Amoco (formerly Standard Oil of Indiana) with British Petroleum.
 * I suggest removing this and adding the following in its place:
 * , following the divestment of its natural gas and natural gas liquids businesses, current BP operations in Canada focus on oil sands, including joint ventures with companies including Husky Energy and Devon Energy.

✅ Beagel (talk) 16:30, 11 May 2013 (UTC)


 * The final sentence of the introduction is also now outdated following the 2010 and 2011 divestments:
 * It has operations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, East Coast and in the North; and employs more than 1400 employees.


 * This should be updated to read:
 * It has activities in Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and offshore in Nova Scotia and the Canadian Beaufort Sea, and as of 2012 employed more than 450 employees.

2. Heritage through Amoco:

Within the company's History, there is no reflection of the events in recent years, such as the divestment of natural gas or the acquisition of offshore exploration blocks. Specifically, the following wording is outdated:


 * Following that, as part of worldwide consolidation, there was a streamlining of Canadian operations of BP. Today, BP Canada operates as a producer of natural gas, and has operations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, East Coast and in the North. Its headquarters is in Calgary, Alberta, and employs more than 1400 employees.

My suggestion is to revise the above wording and add further information here, replacing the outdated information with the wording I have drafted in the below collapse box:

Can another editor please review the above suggestions and make the edits in the article if these seem reasonable? Thanks, Arturo at BP (talk) 17:35, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

✅ I changed the text and added additional sources based the information in the BP article. Beagel (talk) 16:58, 11 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello Arturo. I've looked over your proposed changes, and they all appear to be factual and well-sourced updates.  However, I'm not too comfortable making edits on another's behalf.  I'll definitely support their inclusion, though.  The Interior  (Talk) 15:34, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Beagel and The Interior for reviewing my suggestions and making these edits. The changes all look good. I appreciate the help. Thanks. Arturo at BP (talk) 16:25, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
