		Although British Columbia is Canada’s fourth largest crude oil producer at 60,000 barrels per day, provincial crude consumption exceeds its production, requiring the province to import crude oil to meet its needs.
		British Columbia's Oil and Natural Gas Industry, a CAPP backgrounder, demonstrates how the industry is contributing to the province’s economy.
		Industry activity in British Columbia is higher than ever before, tapping into the province’s relatively under-explored basins and emerging resources such as tight gas and natural gas from coal.

		Petroleum terminals are facilities that provide temporary storage of gasoline and other light petroleum products received from a pipeline or marine vessel, and the redelivery of such products from storage tanks into tank trucks or transport trailers for ultimate delivery to retail gasoline stations or other buyers.

	Overthrowing the government of Iran
		The British priority was to support political 'stability' in the country, in effect by aiding Iranian parliamentarians and Prime Ministers 'to preserve the existing social order from which they profit so greatly' (9) - as did, it might be added, British oil interests.
		The origin of British planning to aid the overthrow of Musaddiq lay in his decision to nationalise oil operations in Iran, which was passed into law in May 1951, the month after he became Prime Minister.
		Thus the British understanding, outlined in 1951, that the Shah 'does not sufficiently check the members of his family and their entourage from interference in politics and their profitable incursions into business' and that 'the chief complaint of his political critics [is] that he wishes to monopolise power for himself', became a harsh reality.

		The British government had dropped several of its previous demands, by settling for a verbal rather than written statement from Iran and by waiving the requirement that the bounty be annulled.
		From the 18th century, the British exerted a good deal of effort towards having a commercial, diplomatic and military presence in the region of Persia and the Persian Gulf, viewing it as a major bulwark against feared Russian expansion or French invasion of India.

	CorpWatch : BP: Beyond Petroleum or Beyond Preposterous?
		British Petroleum's recent ad campaign with the theme of "Beyond Petroleum," led us to think about more appropriate phrases for the company's re-branding: British Petroleum: Beyond Pompous, Beyond Protest, Beyond Pretension, Beyond Preposterous, Beyond Platitudes, Beyond Posturing, Beyond Presumptuous, Beyond Propaganda...
		BP says Beyond Petroleum means "being a global leader in producing the cleanest burning fossil fuel: Natural Gas." It's true that natural gas is not petroleum, but is it true that gas is a radical improvement over oil for our climate?
		That challenge is what is meant by "moving beyond petroleum" when used by environmental groups.
