News Summary:

BP signaled a major strategy shift on February 21, planning to refocus on oil and gas and initiating a $5 billion write-down, departing from its brief clean energy foray and a previous pledge to go net zero by 2050, according to The Guardian. Previously on February 20, a BP job description for a Data Scientist underscored its purpose to "deliver energy to the world today and tomorrow" and its century-long focus on oil and gas production. Earlier the same day, Wood Mackenzie observed that Big Oil's strategy has returned to upstream activities, with executives prioritizing securing high-quality barrels to avoid production decline in the 2030s. Also on February 20, incoming BP CEO Meg O'Neill was noted for her consistent, demand-led, LNG-anchored strategy from her time at Woodside. Concurrently, BP's Vice President for the Caspian Region, Bakhtiyar Aslanbayli, affirmed the company's support for a publication aimed at bolstering legal culture and professional development in Azerbaijan.
