British Petroleum (BP) shares surged 8% following reports of preliminary acquisition discussions with oil giant Shell. The Wall Street Journal revealed active but slow-moving negotiations between the energy titans, though deal certainty remains low given the complexity of such a transaction.

Market reaction suggests investors view consolidation as strategically sound amid energy sector volatility. A successful deal WOULD create one of the largest energy conglomerates globally, with BP's current valuation nearing $85 billion.
