Shell in Early Talks to Acquire Rival BP

[edit]

https://www.wsj.com/business/energy-oil/shell-in-early-talks-to-acquire-rival-bp-2233591a

WSJ, June 25, 2025. Paywalled. I'm happy to email a copy to non-subscribers.

Interesting  times. BP got their start in Persia back in Imperial times. And got in trouble with local politics, and in conflict with Russia. An American envoy was a helpful neutral party. All of this in the late 19th C., If memory serves. Pete Tillman (talk) 16:27, 25 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

The article already refers to Shell's interest in BP. I have added a citation based on the WSJ piece. Dormskirk (talk) 18:53, 25 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

New chair

[edit]

Hello editors. Bp has a new chairman, Albert Manifold, who started 1 October (source, source).

Can the chair be updated in the infobox, 2020 to present section, and Management section? Thank you Vishal BP (talk) 12:57, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Done. Dormskirk (talk) 13:15, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Key people update

[edit]

Hi editors, I'm Niharika, taking over for Vishal BP as bp's representative on Wikipedia. I propose updating the infobox to reflect current leadership in the Key people field: Albert Manifold as chair, Meg O'Neill as CEO, and Carol Howle as deputy CEO. All three roles are covered by this Reuters article. Please let me know what you think! Niharika BP (talk) 18:12, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Done. Dormskirk (talk) 18:34, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Dormskirk: Thanks so much! I had a similar request at Talk:Meg O'Neill in case you were interested in looking at that one too. Thanks again! Niharika BP (talk) 12:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
