Thread regarding BP PLC layoffs

BP v/s other majors

Can some finanace type give a short summary of BP’s profitability v/s other majors.

From where I sit:

  • legacy assets are in decline
  • exploration has been unsuccessful recently
  • upstream projects currently in execution have lower profitability (still much higher than renewables)

Renewables is a total s$it-show, you can make more money keeping your money in the bank today. No US oil company has touched wind, solar and now we understand why.

In conclusion a company which is less profitable today is heading towards an even less profitable future.

That is part of upstream business some projects work out some don’t. That is why majors in the past had a large and diverse portfolio.

look at TOTAL’s pipeline today:

Mozambique
Suriname
South Africa
Namibia

and compare to ours.

If that’s what you see from where you sit, either you are blind or you need to find a seat closer to reality.
