After 60 Years, BP Puts Its North Sea Future Up for Sale
BP is selling its entire UK North Sea business — five hubs, 1,100 jobs and 117,000 barrels a day — forcing new PM Andy Burnham into an early test on tax, drilling and industrial renewal.
מה ידענו בהתחלה
- BP confirmed on 31 July 2026 that its entire UK North Sea business is up for sale.
- The process follows a collapsed deal to sell the same assets to Ithaca Energy for nearly 2bn.
מה שנותר פתוח אז
- No buyer, price, or timetable for completion has been established.
- It is not yet clear what a change of ownership would mean for jobs, investment, and decommissioning.
מה שאמרנו שנעקוב אחריו
- Whether Burnham alters windfall-tax and drilling policy in response to industry pressure.
- Whether a credible buyer emerges for the five-hub package, and on what terms.
