BP does a lot more stuff in house as opposed to letting vendors/services companies do things.
This baffles me as at Subsea Tieback, INTSOk, etc they are touting how BP is letting getting out of their vendors way in how they specify their subsea equipment. In other words buying industry solution.
BP even contracted Wood Group to do the subsea design and Wood Group won the contract for the topsides design from SHI. They might not have gone full contractor route like when they did big GOM projects (Thunderhorse/Atlantis/mad dog) etc, but I would consider BP as known for doing things in house.
