Introduction

In a country, Oil and Gas Industry is very important for the endurance of the financial system. The industry serves many different purposes and gives energy, which is essential for transportation, organizations and houses in United Kingdom. Throughout the oil and gas industry, the regime gets considerable tariff and export profits to support the financial system. For this paper, I have chosen British Petroleum because it is leading in the market and gained immense importance in booming the UK economy.

British Petroleum is acknowledged as a market leader in Oil Industry and widens its operational activities geologically. It has gigantic Marketplace Capitalization all over the world because the corporation has momentous bargaining power and dominance strength. British Petroleum is generally linked with its oil locations and open space retail functions, but has an extensive variety of tasks together with discovery for oil and gas; mining, transport, dispensation and retailing oil and creating low carbon energy plans for example energy generating wind mills or wind turbines and cosmological energy. British Petroleum has developed from a number of firms going back to the early half of the 20th century, stressed originally on oil mining in Iran. When political turmoil endangered the UK's attention in Iranian petroleum in the year 1950, the UK regime acquired some possession, not separating its shares till the year 1980, with nationwide concern upholding the organisation. BP is progressive and forward-looking with many ventures (in-progress) covering its range. This paper will analyse the PESTEL factors that has contributed to either their success or failure of the organization, ranking the factors on the basis of their importance. Limitations of PESTEL Analysis have also been addressed in the end of paper.

This tool is the study of outside factors that are not in control of managerial bodies and sometimes these features could pose a serious threat on the performance of the company. In ranking the factors of PESTEL Analysis on the basis of importance, I believe economic factors will be ranked at the position of 1=most important, followed by political factors will be ranked at the position of 2=second most important, environmental factors= 3rd most important, social factors=4th most important, legal factors=5th most important and technology is at the position of 6th most important.

Energy requirement will rise by nearly 60 per cent with different energy marketplaces having narrow comparative involvement. At the same time as established petroleum reserves can fulfil this requirement, the financial asset in transportation and mining is likely to be gigantic, despite the fact ...
