BP: Ultimate Field Trip 2011 - COMPETITION CLOSED

Compete to win a 6-8 week paid internship visiting our North Sea operations.

COMPETITION NOW CLOSED  - PLEASE CHECKOUR NEWS PAGES FOR DETAILS OF NEXT YEAR'S COMPETITION.

Climate change is a global issue that requires all countries and all sectors of industry and society at large to play their parts in addressing it. The global population is set to quadruple this century. As people across the world strive to increase the quality of their lives, energy demand is expected to rise significantly – the International Energy Agency (IEA) projects 45% by 2030.

Even as we run this challenge, world leaders are debating new future targets at the Copenhagen climate conference.

BP is serious about climate change and we accept that in order to avoid the consequences, temperature increases will probably need to be limited to about two to three degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels – and that means dramatically reducing the amount of CO2 humankind produces.

This competition gives you the chance to study the issues and come up with new ideas about how to reduce or eliminate CO2 emissions from gas-fired power stations. We want you to use your imagination – we’ll be looking for innovative thinking.

BP operates at the frontiers of geography and technology. We want to give you the chance to experience what we do first hand. The Ultimate Field Trip 2010 gives you the opportunity to experience it first hand and contribute towards addressing the real challenges facing BP today in the form of a six to eight week fully paid summer internship.

The successful team will:

• work on a real project upon which business decisions will be made
• experience the range of operations in BP’s North Sea business, including a trip to Norway and visiting an off-shore platform
• be mentored by BP professionals
• be fully paid
