What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

BP has reported strong performance in oil and gas trading, benefiting from high energy prices caused by the Iran war. These prices have surged past $100 a barrel because the conflict effectively closed the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping route. BP's new chief executive, Meg O’Neill, plans to outline a fresh strategy vision in December.

The boost from soaring crude and gas prices is helping BP reduce its net debt pile. The company is also under pressure from activist hedge fund Elliott Management to bolster its balance sheet and reduce costs.
