Company News
BP has hired Ben Monaghan from PJT Partners as its new head of mergers and acquisitions. Monaghan will take up the position in early 2027 as the energy company works to streamline its portfolio under chief executive officer Meg O'Neill. BP said Monaghan brings extensive experience in corporate finance, strategic advisory, and transaction work across the energy sector. The appointment comes as BP seeks to reverse years of underperformance. PJT Partners declined to comment on the move.
Snowfox Discovery has closed an oversubscribed $30 million Series A funding round, marking one of the largest financings to date in the natural hydrogen sector. The round was led by bp Ventures with strong participation from Rio Tinto Ventures and Oxford Science Enterprises, alongside new backers AP Ventures, The Bamford Family, and Oxford Capital.
US oil majors are increasingly using aggressive tactics in labour negotiations, deploying lockouts to extract concessions from workers' unions. The trend began with Exxon's 10-month lockout of 650 workers at its Beaumont refinery in 2021, the longest US refinery labour dispute in 40 years. BP and Marathon are currently locking out workers at their Whiting, Indiana, and Martinez, California, refineries whilst continuing operations with contractors and replacement staff. This strategy undermines unions' traditional bargaining power based on skilled labour being essential. At Whiting, BP proposes a 13% pay rise over four years — below national oil bargaining standards for the first two years — and seeks to transfer work to third-party contractors. The company also wants waivers on bargaining rights regarding AI tools and time clocks. Union representatives say BP is following Exxon's playbook, having hired the same lead negotiator who oversaw the Beaumont lockout.
EnQuest CEO Amjad Bseisu confirmed to CNBC on Thursday that the UK oil and gas producer is interested in acquiring BP's North Sea assets. BP launched a sale process in July for its UK North Sea portfolio, which includes five production hubs employing around 1,100 people. The potential acquisition would mark BP's major retreat from the basin after 60 years of operations. Bseisu noted only a handful of companies remain interested in UK North Sea assets. EnQuest reported adjusted pre-tax profit of $54.6 million in the first half of the year, with revenues reaching $529.9 million. The company previously purchased North Sea interests from BP, including a 25% stake in the Magnus field in 2017.
BP has appointed Ian Tyler as its new chairman, making him the company's third chair this year. Tyler, former chief executive of construction giant Balfour Beatty, has been serving as interim chairman since Albert Manifold's abrupt departure in May. Tyler began his career as finance director at Balfour Beatty before becoming chief executive. He currently chairs Grafton Group and serves as senior independent director of Anglo American. His previous roles include chairing Cairn Energy and serving as non-executive director of BAE Systems. Tyler said he will lead the board's evolution to support BP's strategic priorities and long-term value creation. He pledged to establish regular and transparent engagement with shareholders whilst supporting the leadership team.
