BP p.l.c. (NYSE:BP) is a British multinational company recognized worldwide for quality gasoline, transport fuels, chemicals, and alternative sources of energy such as wind and biofuels.

BP p.l.c. (NYSE:BP) made headlines on March 14 after the Trump administration approved the company’s plan to advance its Kaskida project ​in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. This will be the energy operator’s first virgin field development in the region since the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, which triggered the worst oil spill in American history.

The $5 billion investment will help unlock 10 billion barrels of discovered BP resources in the Gulf of America’s Paleogene fields. The Kaskida project is expected to begin production in 2029, with the development expected to produce about 275 million barrels of oil equivalent in the first phase.

While a number of environmental groups and Democratic lawmakers have raised objections regarding the Kaskia project, BP p.l.c. (NYSE:BP) has assured that the safety of its people and the environment will remain its highest priority.
