To be fair... 97% of violations concerns refineries, which is quite different from violations in the oil business.
BP was a quality sentric company prior to fusioning with Amoco. BP is operating in the North Sea both on British and Norwegian shelf on 45 fields and I can't find any serious incidents besides the capsizing in 1965.
However, the incidents started in other parts of the world after the merger with Amoco.
