Bp was once none as Anglo-Persian Oil Company founded by an Australian-British mining magnet named William Knox D'Arcy . William had formerly did business in England until he needed a new place to drill at because business was decreasing rapidly. In 1901, William had won a concession from Persia which now is (Iran) to explore and drill for oil in the country's rugged. arid southwest. Like most businesses the drilling got off to a significantly slow start which brought consideration of giving up the search of oil. Until one of his sole searching explorers George Reynold, who was said to have the characteristics of a man who never stood his grounds until the work was done; found the perfect place. This was surprising because it took 10 days just to get in Shardin, eight months to start drilling, and 6 years of toiling with no oil to show for. Almost giving up hope after a major disaster where a drill bit had fallen off and one of the two last-chance wells had fell and ended up taken a week too fish out. But this was all to come to light or should I say Air, when one early morning May 26, 1908 the whole camp of explores reeked of a sulphur; which tends to have a very strong scent and was a good sign for drillers. At 4 O'clock the drill reached 1,800 feet and a fountain of oil spewed out into the dawn of sky. D' Arcy received the great news five days after due to slow telegrams. After the exciting news, within a year later the Anglo-Persian oil company now Bp was once again in business.
