BP Shifts Focus to Oil and Gas Amid ‘Reset’ of Energy Strategy

BP, the energy giant, has announced a strategy shift towards oil and gas, cutting investments in clean energy and redirecting spending towards fossil fuels. The move, dubbed a “reset,” aims to capitalize on growing demand for energy and increase financial returns. BP plans to boost oil and gas investment by 20% to around $10 billion per year, while reducing renewables spending by 70%. The shift may raise concerns about stranded assets as the energy transition progresses, but analysts say it’s more shareholder-friendly.
