Rumors have been circulating for months about a potential acquisition of BP by rival Shell, but Shell has officially denied any talks of a deal. A Shell spokesperson confirmed that there are no ongoing discussions and reiterated the company’s focus on its own performance rather than pursuing a major acquisition.

Shell’s CEO, Wael Sawan, has been vocal about his preference for buying back Shell’s own shares instead of pursuing a deal with BP. Sawan has been working on improving Shell’s financial health and streamlining its operations over the past two years.

Despite the initial spike in BP’s shares following reports of active talks between the two companies, both insiders agree that integrating the two businesses with their distinct cultures would be a complex and time-consuming process. Job losses could potentially be in the tens of thousands, presenting a political challenge for the UK government.

If a merger were to occur, the combined entity would be a global powerhouse worth over ÂŁ200bn, putting it in the same league as US giants like Chevron and ExxonMobil. The implications of such a merger would be significant for the industry as a whole.
