Shell is actively assessing a potential takeover of rival BP, contingent on favorable stock and oil price movements. With a market valuation of approximately £149 billion—nearly double that of BP—the energy giant has intensified discussions with advisors to evaluate the strategic merits of such a move.

CEO Wael Sawan has previously prioritized share buybacks over large-scale acquisitions, emphasizing operational stability. Meanwhile, BP is streamlining its portfolio through a $20 billion asset sale and cost-cutting measures to bolster profitability under shareholder pressure.
