In January 2013, the In Amenas gas plant in Algeria, which is run as a joint
operation between BP, Sonatrach (the national gas company of Algeria)
and Statoil, came under armed terrorist attack. A total of 40 people from 10
countries and 10 organizations were killed in the attack. Four employees
and a former employee lost their lives in the incident. BP and Statoil jointly
carried out an extensive review of security arrangements in Algeria
following the attack and we are working with Sonatrach on implementing a
programme of security enhancements.
