The company is also in the midst of a top-to-bottom, continuous inspection and evaluation of the Texas City refinery. All high-pressure units (four units operating above 1000 psi) have been taken out of service and are undergoing a complete root and branch analysis from design through to current configuration. They will not be returned to service until that process is completed and the units determined to be safe.
However, the BP of today is an international company, having operations in over 70 countries. Its key strengths are in oil and gas exploration and production; the refining, marketing and supply of petroleum products; and the manufacturing and marketing of chemicals. It supports all its businesses with high quality research and technology.
