Translated by Qiyas from الجريدة — Original source
O’Neill’s comments came during a conference call regarding quarterly results, in response to a media report published this week by Semafor, citing unnamed sources, which stated that some members of BP’s board of directors favored breaking up the company—a claim BP denied at the time.
O’Neill said that her discussions with the board regarding the group’s strategic direction reaffirmed the necessity of maintaining an integrated oil and gas company, meaning that operations in exploration, production, refining, and marketing should remain under a single umbrella.
