Company profile
A leading player in the global energy market, BG Group is a dynamic growing business with operations in more than 25 countries over five continents.
While our headquarters are in United Kingdom (UK), over 60% of the talented professionals who make up the BG team are located outside the UK.
We have a proud history in all aspects of the energy sector, particularly natural gas, where we have experience across the entire gas chain – from exploration to delivery to the consumer.
BG Group is a publicly listed company on the London Stock Exchange and is also listed on the US over-the-counter market known as “International OTCQX”.
Our business strategy
Our focus is on understanding, building and supplying natural gas markets around the world. We operate in three key business sectors – Exploration and Production, Liquefied Natural Gas, and Transmission and Distribution.
Our high performing Exploration and Production business remains the centre of gravity of our activities. The increasingly opportunity-rich Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) segment, together with Transmission and Distribution form our downstream activities and give us the complete range of skills across the gas chain.
