About BP UAE

BP is a British multinational energy company with a long relationship with Abu Dhabi. Its history in the emirate goes back to the early oil concessions in the mid-20th century.

Today, BP holds a stake in ADNOC's onshore oil concession, one of the largest producing areas in Abu Dhabi, alongside other international partners. Under this model, ADNOC is the majority owner and operator, while partners contribute expertise and investment.

BP and ADNOC have also formed partnerships beyond the UAE, including joint ventures in gas and lower-carbon energy in other countries, reflecting a broader strategic relationship.

The company's activities in the region include trading, lubricants through its Castrol brand, and exploration of hydrogen and carbon capture projects.

Castrol engine oils are widely sold in the UAE through workshops, retailers and fuel stations.

As the energy transition advances, international oil companies are balancing oil and gas production with investments in lower-carbon energy, and partnerships with national oil companies are evolving accordingly.

BP is a British company rather than a UAE startup, and Startups UAE lists its UAE operations among the country's energy companies.
