Following one of its “worst years on record” oil giant BP is gaining confidence. It plans to boost returns to shareholders after “higher oil prices and strong trading results buoyed its first-quarter earnings”, says Sarah MacFarlane in The Wall Street Journal. It made a profit of $3.32bn in the first three months of 2021, compared with a loss of $628m a year earlier. Having sold assets to cut net debt to $33bn from $39bn in the previous quarter, BP said it would buy back $500m of shares in the second quarter.
The reported profits were boosted by a $1bn gain on the sale of a stake in an Omani gas field, says Emily Gosden in The Times. However, even if you remove this gain and other “one-off factors”, underlying profits still more than tripled and were “well ahead” of analyst forecasts. BP’s CEO Bernard Looney believes that the “strong result” reflects two main factors. First, higher average oil prices of $61 a barrel, compared with $50 in th ....

OPINION:
If you thought coronavirus had hobbled the oil industry for good, think again. Just a year after a Saudi-Russian price war and the coronavirus pandemic triggered the worst oil crash in decades, a stunning
reversal is under way.
It calls to mind the bumper sticker said to adorn half-tons from Texas to Alberta: Please God, give me one more oil boom, I promise not to piss it all away next time. ....

Is oil finally on its way out?


The smartest insight and analysis, from all perspectives, rounded up from around the web:
Oil companies are under pressure from governments looking to curb greenhouse gases, investors seeking better returns, and others simultaneously wanting both, said Paul Takahashi at the
Houston Chronicle. Last year was the worst on record for the biggest six or seven companies collectively known as Big Oil. Last week, Exxon Mobil, BP, and Shell reported losses for the year of $22.4 billion, $20.3 billion, and $21.7 billion, respectively, as they grappled with a historic oil crash wrought by the global pandemic, and the future looks far from certain.
