Welcome. This edition heralds an updated look for BP Magazine. With its smaller size, and cleaner design, we hope you agree that it is a magazine for the 21st century, without losing any of the writing and photographic quality.

With all eyes on the Olympic Games this summer, our cover story takes a closer look at BP’s participation in London 2012, while our country report heads to Oman to see the company’s largest ever onshore seismic survey in action. We’ve got all the regular features such as Archive and BP Faces, and added a few more.

Science made simple provides insight into some of our major areas of technology and the Big Issue will tackle a subject close to the industry’s heart. Worldview has become For the Record and will continue to bring you a snapshot of BP news around the globe.

We hope you continue to enjoy reading BP Magazine and with our new letters column we’d love to hear your thoughts.
