BP to boost oil and gas output
15 Jan 2000
Two major oil and gas discoveries will help BP to increase its output by 5 per cent per year until the end of the decade, says chief executive John Brown. Output from the new fields - Perseus, off Australia, and Girassol, off Angola - will add to increased output from Alaska to boost output by two-thirds during the next ten years, reaching a target of 2.5 million barrels per day.
