Here’s an Industry Insight focused on BP’s reset to oil and gas after its "Beyond Petroleum" years and net-zero by 2050 commitment. Based on the news, we dig into the past, present and future direction for BP as well as a special article on BP’s US onshore efforts (under BPX Energy).
Our effort concludes with a third article reviewing Britain’s efforts underway to ban new licenses in the UK North Sea.
Quick Takeaways:
- We ask – What does BP’s pivot signal to other majors (particularly European) that are still running a dual narrative?
- BPX grew US Onshore (Permian, Haynesville, Eagle Ford) by 100,000 Boepd last year – up 22%.
- Offshore, BP is the Gulf’s second largest operator and has more growth on the way closer to 2030.
- Scattered international assets are likely to be trimmed or sold
Ironically, as BP gets back to oil, Britain is headed the other direction and readying a UK North Sea licensing ban. The UK North Sea is consolidating as production declines.
