Global energy trading

Our global energy trading business – commonly known as supply and trading – connects BP to the world’s traded markets for oil, gas, power, refinery feedstocks and currencies Keeping the world’s energy moving

Getting our oil, gas and refined products to the people and businesses who need them, wherever they may be in the world, is a complex job.

The supply and trading business markets BP’s equity crude oil and natural gas, imports feedstocks for our refinery system and buys products to meet marketing demand. We offer a combination of unique expertise in physical supply and trading, innovative financial structures and world-class analytics to deliver long-term value, from wellhead to end customer.

The global trade in energy resources and oil-based products is complex and sophisticated – prices change constantly, as does demand. Our traders monitor market information continuously and talk to brokers, refinery staff and the people based in our production operations. They have to be ready to make sound business decisions at a moment’s notice. Visit BP's global energy trading website Preparing MARPOL for 2020 and beyond

A career in supply and trading

A large percentage of our turnover flows through our supply and trading activities. Through working with other energy companies, financial institutions, and other partners, our employees gain wide exposure to the sector, creating long-term career development opportunities.

We have around 3,000 employees, most of who are based in our main trading hubs in London, Chicago, Houston and Singapore – and the passion, ambition, and enthusiasm we have for working at the cutting-edge of trading is clear.
