Shares of energy stocks are trading lower as oil prices fall after OPEC+ producers accelerated output hikes. Additionally, President Trump's recent tariff announcements and China's retaliatory tariffs on the US have driven further demand uncertainty.

BP p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) shares are trading lower premarket on Friday. The company disclosed that its board has begun the process of selecting a <a href="https://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/news-and-insights/press-releases/bp-chair-announces-intention-to-step-down-board-launches-search-for-successor.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new </a>chair following Helge Lund's decision to step down.
The succession process, led by Dame Amanda Blanc as senior independent director with board support, aims to ensure a smooth transition.
The selected candidate will join the board and work alongside Helge Lund before officially assuming the chair role, likely in 2026.
Helge stated, "Having fundamentally reset our strategy, bp's focus now is on delivering the strategy at pace, improving performance and growing shareholder value. Now is the right time to start the process to find my successor and enable an orderly and seamless handover."
The decision follows pressure from activist hedge fund Elliott Management, which has been pushing for further changes at BP, reported Reuters.
Notably, in February, Elliott Management reportedly acquired a stake in BP and had been advocating for substantial changes at the British oil <a target="_blank" href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/02/43591241/whats-going-on-with-oil-giant-bp-stock-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">company to boost its performance</a>.
In the same month, BP reported that it missed fourth-quarter revenue and earnings estimates, with hydrocarbon production <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43618537/bp-q3-results-lower-revenue-rising-debt-but-175-billion-buyback-and-dividend-hike-impress" rel="noreferrer noopener">down 5.4% year-over-year</a>.

BP Begins Hunt for New Chair As Elliott Management Pushes for Changes

bp today announced that the company's board of directors has initiated a succession process to select a new Chair, after Helge Lund informed the board of his intention to step down in due course.

BP Announced Earlier, Chair Helge Lund To Step Down

BP p.l.c. &#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) bp Trinidad and Tobago (bpTT) disclosed on Thursday that it successfully commenced <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/news-and-insights/press-releases/bptt-announces-start-of-production-from-new-cypre-gas-project.html?utm_source=PC%26C%20%7C%20C%26EA%20%7C%20External%20%7C%20Global%20%7C%20bp.com%20news&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=14951822_bp%20TT%20announces%20start%20of%20production%20from%20new%20Cypre%20gas%20project&amp;dm_i=1PGC,8WGWE,5D8AP6,113O2C,1" rel="noreferrer noopener">gas </a>production from its Cypre development.
The Cypre gas field lies 78 km off Trinidad&#8217;s southeast coast in the East Mayaro Block at an 80-meter water depth. It is fully owned by bp Trinidad and Tobago, a joint venture between bp (70%) and Repsol (30%).
Cypre is among bp&#8217;s 10 major projects set to launch between 2025 and 2027 as part of its upstream growth strategy. The project will contribute to the expected 250,000 boed peak net production from these developments.
At peak, it is expected to produce around 45,000 boed (250 million standard cubic feet of gas per day).
The first phase, consisting of four wells, was completed in late 2024, with the second phase set to begin in the latter half of this year.
Notably, Cypre is bp&#8217;s second major project to launch in 2025, following the Raven field&#8217;s second development phase in Egypt.
The project aligns with bp&#8217;s expected upstream returns and fits within its capital expenditure plans.
Cypre marks bpTT&#8217;s third subsea development, featuring seven wells connected to the existing Juniper platform.
William Lin, EVP gas and low carbon energy&nbsp;said, &#8220;The second of 10 major projects across our global portfolio that we expect to start up by 2027, Cypre is also the first of a series of projects we will be bringing online in Trinidad to deliver gas to the nation and add value for bp.&#8221;
bpTT president David Campbell added, &#8220;Cypre is another key milestone in bpTT&#8217;s strategy to maximize production from our shallow water acreage using existing infrastructure. The project not only reinforces our commitment to maintaining production but also plays a crucial role in satisfying our existing gas supply commitments.&#8221;&nbsp;
Last month, the company disclosed that&nbsp;Apollo Global Management-managed funds will acquire a 25% non-controlling stake in BP Pipelines (TANAP) Ltd – <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/03/44436034/bp-sells-25-stake-in-tanap-pipeline-to-apollo-for-1-billion-eyes-further-low-carbon-collaboration" rel="noreferrer noopener">bp TANAP for around $1.0 billion</a>.

BP's Cypre Gas Project Goes Live, Boosting Upstream Growth Plans

BP p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) disclosed on Thursday that it plans to sell its mobility and convenience business in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Austria for an undisclosed amount</a>.
The sale includes more than 260 BP retail sites across Austria (around 120 company-owned) and related Austrian fleet business and EV charging assets, including those under development.
It also comprises BP&#8217;s shares in the non-operated joint venture (NOJV) managing the Linz fuel terminal.
The sale process will commence immediately, with completion targeted by the end of 2025, pending regulatory and necessary approvals.
This move is part of BP&#8217;s ongoing strategy to reshape and streamline its downstream operations, following its announcement last year to market its mobility &amp; convenience business in the Netherlands.
Emma Delaney, EVP, customers &amp; products at bp said, "Over recent years we have grown the business to become number two major branded retailer in the market. As bp now looks to focus downstream and reshape our portfolio, we believe that a new owner will be best placed to unlock the business's full potential.&#8221;
Also, on Wednesday, BP disclosed that it received final government approval for its contract to redevelop several <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news" rel="noreferrer noopener">major oil fields in Kirkuk, northern Iraq</a>.
The agreement with North Oil Company (NOC) and North Gas Company (NGC) covers the rehabilitation of fields, including oil, gas, power and water sectors, <a href="https://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/news-and-insights/press-releases/bp-and-iraq-finalize-contract-for-kirkuk-redevelopment.html?utm_source=PC%26C%20%7C%20C%26EA%20%7C%20External%20%7C%20Global%20%7C%20bp.com%20news&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=14940177_bp%20and%20Iraq%20finalize%20contract%20for%20Kirkuk%20redevelopment&amp;dm_i=1PGC,8W7WX,5D8AP6,112E8Z,1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with </a>the potential for exploration investment.
Under the agreement, BP&#8217;s compensation will be tied to increases in production volumes, prices and costs.
Also, BP will be entitled to a share of production and reserves in proportion to the fees earned from boosting output.
With full approval now in place, BP will collaborate with the Government to establish a new operator, an unincorporated organization primarily staffed by personnel from NOC and NGC, along with secondees from BP, to begin the initial stages of development.
The agreement covers an initial phase involving oil and gas production exceeding 3 billion barrels of oil equivalent, including the Baba and Avanah domes of the Kirkuk oil field, as well as the Bai Hassan, Jambur and Khabbaz fields, all currently operated by NOC.
The total resource opportunity across the contract and surrounding areas is estimated at up to 20 billion barrels of oil equivalent.

Bp Weighs Stake Sales In Two Gulf Of Mexico Projects

On Friday, BP p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) disclosed that Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>)-managed funds will acquire a 25% non-controlling stake in BP Pipelines (TANAP) Ltd – bp TANAP for around $1.0 billion.
This subsidiary holds BP's 12% interest in TANAP, the pipeline that transports natural gas <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/news-and-insights/press-releases/apollo-to-partner-with-bp-on-tanap-gas-pipeline.html?utm_source=PC%26C%20%7C%20C%26EA%20%7C%20External%20%7C%20Global%20%7C%20bp.com%20news&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=14935025_Apollo%20to%20partner%20with%20bp%20on%20TANAP%20gas%20pipeline&amp;dm_i=1PGC,8W3XT,5D8AP6,111U2V,1" rel="noreferrer noopener">from </a>Azerbaijan through Turkey.
TANAP, stretching about 1,800 km across Turkey, is a key part of the Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) pipeline system.
The SGC delivers gas from the BP-operated Shah Deniz field in Azerbaijan to European markets, including Italy and Greece.
Both companies are also exploring further collaboration opportunities, particularly in infrastructure, gas, and low-carbon energy assets.
The proceeds from this transaction will contribute to BP&#8217;s $20 billion divestment and other proceeds program.

The deal allows BP to monetize its interest in TANAP, while still retaining control as the majority shareholder of BP TANAP.
BP will also maintain a long-term commercial and strategic stake, including governance rights, in the pipeline, which is crucial for the gas value chain of the BP-operated Shah Deniz gas field in Azerbaijan.
The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory and TANAP shareholders&#8217; approvals.
William Lin, BP executive vice president, gas &amp; low-carbon energy, said, "This unlocks capital from our global portfolio while retaining our role in this strategic asset for bringing Azerbaijan gas to Europe. BP and Apollo will continue to explore further strategic cooperation and mutually beneficial opportunities."

TD Securities Downgrades BP to Hold, Lowers Price Target to $36

BP plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) is flashing strong technical signals, with bullish momentum building just as the stock approaches <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/golden-cross">a Golden Cross</a> — a classic indicator of potential upside.
The oil giant&#8217;s stock, at $33.39, sits above its five-day, 20-day, 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="618" height="487" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/17104054/Screenshot-2025-03-17-at-5.09.57-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-827502" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/17104054/Screenshot-2025-03-17-at-5.09.57-PM.png 618w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/17104054/Screenshot-2025-03-17-at-5.09.57-PM-300x236.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BP Stock: Golden Cross In Sight</h2>
A golden cross occurs when the 50-day simple moving average moves above the 200-day simple moving average, often signaling a shift into sustained bullish territory. BP stock's 50-day moving average of $32.21 is rapidly gaining on its 200-day average of $32.47. With buying pressure evident across multiple timeframes, the setup suggests that BP stock's recent momentum could have more room to run.
While momentum indicators support the Golden Cross formation and bullishness, the oscillators indicator some weakness. BP stock's Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) sits at a negative 0.02 &#8211; a bearish signal, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 58.21 &#8211; approaching overbought territory but still allowing room for additional gains.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Fueling BP Stock's Momentum?</h2>
Beyond the technical setup, BP's latest move into offshore wind development could be a catalyst. The company recently announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44191761">50-50 joint venture with Jera Co. Inc.</a>, a Japanese utility giant, to fast-track offshore wind projects across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the U.S. 
With a projected net generating capacity of 13 gigawatts, the partnership positions BP as a key player in the global energy transition.
BP's decision to explore <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44057916">selling its Castrol lubricants business</a>, potentially fetching $10 billion, could further strengthen its balance sheet—a point of concern relative to its peers. 
While recent earnings disappointed, with revenue missing estimates, investors may be betting on long-term strategic shifts rather than short-term setbacks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Takeaway</h2>
A golden cross would cement BP's transition into a more sustained bullish phase. This offers an entry point for those eyeing technical breakouts.
However, with RSI approaching overbought territory, traders should watch for potential near-term pullbacks before a stronger move higher. 
If BP successfully executes its wind energy strategy and shores up its financials, the stock could see extended gains beyond this bullish technical formation.

Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) rose 0.77% to $181.38, while Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) increased 0.72% to $237.63. Oracle Corp.

Trump said, &#8220;Tariffs are protecting the soul of our country. Tariffs are about making America again and making America great again, and it's happening. It will happen rather quickly—there may be a little disturbance, but we're okay with that.&#8221;
He added, &#8220;Tariffs—it&#8217;s a beautiful word, isn't it? Along with our other policies, they will allow our auto industry to absolutely boom.&#8221;

Shares of companies in the broader energy sector are trading lower after president Trump confirmed Mar 4 tariffs, which could affect demand outlook.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New On The Block</h2>
Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) is seeking to sell Insitu, a maker of small, long-range military drones, per <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-24/boeing-seeks-buyers-for-insitu-drone-unit-in-push-to-shed-assets">Bloomberg</a>.
The Arlington County, Virginia-based aerospace company acquired Insitu in 2008. Since then, the business has gone on to make drones for various military, including Ukraine&#8217;s. The price tag? $500 million, analysts say.
Meanwhile, BP (LSE: BP) will seek to sell its Castrol lubricants business, noted <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-25/bp-said-to-prepare-lubricants-sale-ditch-plan-to-cut-oil-output-in-review?srnd=phx-deals">Bloomberg</a>. It could be worth about $10 billion &#8211; a that sum that could help strengthen the company's balance sheet, which is <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-18/bp-is-said-to-weigh-sale-of-lubricants-unit-with-elliott-pushing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reportedly</a> weaker than its peers.
Cantaloupe (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTLP#NASDAQ">CTLP</a>), a Malvern, Pennsylvania-based payments processor is exploring a sale or go-private transaction, Reuters reported. Its market cap is currently $713-million.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Private Equity</h2>
Sycamore Partners is planning a buyout of Walgreens (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>). If it succeeds, the firm will prepare a three-part breakup, according to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/9087ffb1-24d5-4adc-8a57-ef123d4c4c63">Financial Times</a>. 
The private equity firm envisions three separate businesses with distinct capital structures: the U.S. retail pharmacy, Boots UK and U.S. healthcare. Each division will operate independently.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Updates From The Block</h2>
Seven &amp; i (TYO:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TYO:3382#TYO">3382</a>), the owner of 7-Eleven, is under pressure from Artisan Partners to consider a competitive bidding process. The retailer's response to Alimentation Couche-Tard's offer is seen as a test case for Japan's evolving M&amp;A landscape.
Seven &amp; i&#8217;s founders, the Ito family, had explored a management buyout that would have been the largest in history but ultimately failed to secure financing. Meanwhile, Couche-Tard remains committed to buying Seven &amp; i&#8217;s North American stores. But Japanese franchisees are likely to resist foreign ownership. 
Despite being deemed &#8220;core&#8221; to Japan's national security, the government has stated it would not obstruct a buyout. Separately, Seven &amp; i is close to selling non-core assets to Bain Capital, according to Reuters.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Off The Block</h2>
TKO Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>), created a year ago from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/09/34455843/wwe-and-ufc-merge-on-tuesday-heres-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">merger of the WWE and UFC</a>, completed its purchase of IMG, On Location and Professional Bull Riders from Endeavor Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EDR#NYSE">EDR</a>). The acquisition <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/10/41561859/deal-dispatch-ufc-wwe-parent-tko-takes-on-bull-riding-endeavor-looks-to-sell-tennis-another-car-comp">was first announced in October</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bankruptcy Block</h2>
Looks like even the aerospace industry isn't immune to crash landings. Dynamic Aerostructures, which makes high-tech parts for U.S. fighter jets and SpaceX rockets, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/asset-sales/25/02/43994380/spacex-parts-supplier-dynamic-aerostructures-files-for-bankruptcy-bid-deadline-set">recently filed for bankruptcy</a>. The company plans to auction itself off in a court-supervised sale.
The company, backed by Endeavour Capital, blames its financial nosedive on quality-control issues, inflation-driven inventory costs and bad customer contracts. The search is on for a buyer, with an April 7 bid deadline set for potential suitors.
With $55 million in debt, FMI Aerostructures has been a key supplier for Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, including making parts for the stealthy B-2 Spirit bomber.
Fast fashion retailer Forever 21 is coming to a screeching halt. The company is expected to shutter all of its stores and liquidate its assets, Debtwire reports. A bankruptcy filing is not yet official. In the event that it is, expect the company&#8217;s workforce in shopping malls nationwide to feel the effects. Bloomberg projects that at least 200 locations are preparing to close.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h2>
M&amp;A activity is rising in digital health, biotech and provider groups as companies seek scale, data integration and new care models, according to consulting firm LBMC. Private equity-backed consolidations in healthcare services remain under scrutiny, while regulatory shifts and a new administration could reshape hospital and tech acquisitions.
Lisa Nix, LBMC shareholder, <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/02/26/3033266/0/en/LBMC-Unveils-Key-Healthcare-Trends-for-2025-AI-M-A-Cybersecurity-and-Policy-Shifts-Poised-to-Reshape-the-Industry.html">expects</a> a resurgence in healthcare M&amp;A in 2025, driven by declining interest rates, PE dry powder and a more lenient regulatory environment, setting the stage for transformative deals that could redefine patient care.
