AS613

AS613 is a legacy autonomous system number allocated by ARIN on 1990-03-24 to BP America, Inc., the U.S. arm of the British oil and gas multinational BP. The RDAP registrant object (handle BPAMER) lists BP America as the resource holder, while the technical, abuse, and administrative contact is a separate internal entity, "BP Global Network Services" (handle BGNS-ARIN, abuse@bp.com/hostmaster@bp.com), based at BP's Houston campus (201 Helios Way). Unlike an ISP or transit network, AS613 reads as a legacy corporate WAN identifier rather than an actively operated public network: it has no PeeringDB record (404 on both the web and API lookups), no findable BP-published peering policy, and — most notably — has not been visible anywhere in the global BGP routing table since roughly 2021-10-21. RIPEstat confirms zero currently announced prefixes on both IPv4 and IPv6, zero visible peers/neighbours, and CAIDA's customer cone reduces to the ASN itself (no downstream customers, no prefixes, no addresses), with an AS Rank of 79,459 — near the very bottom of the global ranking. The one historically observed route, 129.230.200.0/24 (last seen by RIPEstat 2021-09-15), is flagged by Hurricane Electric as bogon/invalid space rather than a legitimate live announcement. No public abuse or security incident signal ties to AS613 as of 2026-07-17, consistent with a dormant enterprise ASN sitting quietly in the registry rather than an active network.

Operator

BP America, Inc. (registrant, ARIN handle BPAMER); technical/administrative/abuse contact "BP Global Network Services" (handle BGNS-ARIN) [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/613

Country / RIR

US, ARIN [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/613 (registrant address 201 Helios Way, Houston, TX 77079)

Allocated

1990-03-24 (ARIN RDAP autnum TOP-LEVEL registration event, cross-confirmed by two independent angles reading the same top-level events[] array, not the nested-entity decoy dates of 1991-06-27 / 2009-11-10) [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/613

Org status

ARIN RDAP status "active" (registry record standing), but routing-inactive/dormant since ~2021-10-21 per third-party BGP tooling — the registry-active flag describes WHOIS record status, not live operational routing [Confirmed for RDAP status; Likely for the routing-dormancy characterization] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/613, https://bgp.he.net/AS613

Website

no dedicated operator-official AS613/peering page found; bp.com is BP's general corporate site with no AS613-specific content located [Likely] — https://www.bp.com/

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-17 — checked ARIN RDAP, general abuse/threat-intel search, and NANOG-adjacent search; Spamhaus's direct ASN check page returned HTTP 403 during research so Spamhaus ASN-DROP status is specifically Unknown, not confirmed-clean

Abuse contact

abuse@bp.com / hostmaster@bp.com

Network & routing

Network type

enterprise/corporate internal network of an oil & gas multinational, not a transit ISP, IXP, or content network [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/613

Routing/peering

NOT currently announced — 0 prefixes on v4 and v6 per RIPEstat, 0/327 v4 RIS peers and 0/322 v6 RIS peers seeing it, 0 observed neighbours; AS has not been visible in the global BGP table since ~2021-10-21 [Confirmed] — RIPEstat routing-status (resource=613), https://bgp.he.net/AS613

Peering policy / PeeringDB

no PeeringDB network object exists for AS613 (404 on web page and API); no BP-published peering policy found [Unknown] — https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/613

CAIDA metrics

AS Rank 79,459; customer cone = singleton (1 ASN, 0 prefixes, 0 addresses); asnDegree customer/peer/provider all 0; clique_member false; seen-in-topology false [Confirmed] — CAIDA ASRank API, asn=613

RPKI

not assessable via RIPEstat (rpki-validation requires a prefix, none available since nothing is announced); Hurricane Electric shows no valid or invalid RPKI-signed routes for AS613's historical records [Likely] — https://bgp.he.net/AS613

Last changed

2012-03-02 (ARIN RDAP autnum top-level "last changed" event) [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/613

Historical route

129.230.200.0/24, last seen by RIPEstat on 2021-09-15; flagged by Hurricane Electric as bogon/invalid space, not a legitimate current route [Likely] — https://bgp.he.net/AS613

Historical note

AS613 was previously associated with ARCO (Atlantic Richfield Company), acquired by BP in 2000; not independently RDAP-confirmed in this cycle, carried forward as community-sourced context only [Unknown] — third-party web search, uncorroborated by RDAP
