Assembled from 181 messages that mention BP across eight Enron mailboxes, Sep 1999 – Jan 2002. Every line below was read out of correspondence, and every line opens the message it came from.
A top-20 trading counterparty across many BP entities, a rival through IntercontinentalExchange, and in January 2002 a bidder for EnronOnline's software and back-office systems.
Drag it, or use the arrow keys for one step at a time and Home and End for the ends. Durable facts accumulate; the ones that were only true for a while appear, then expire with a reason attached. The relationship itself changes 2 times.
The consolidated view, as it stood on the selected date.
Sections in the order they mattered to the company. The counts follow the date you have selected.
A brain that only keeps what is permanently true is a reference book, and it would have been no use to anyone at Enron in November 2001. A brain that keeps everything is the inbox again. The distinction that matters is not true versus false. It is durable versus current. A current fact carries what would end it. Sometimes the message gives a date and the page shows it; more often it gives only the condition, and the page says that instead of inventing a date the mail never stated.
