British oil major BP on Wednesday announced plans to increase annual oil and gas investment to $10 billion through 2027 in a fundamental strategic reset following sharp profit declines.
“Today we have fundamentally reset bp’s strategy,” BP CEO Murray Auchincloss said in a statement.
“We are reducing and reallocating capital expenditure to our highest-returning businesses to drive growth, and relentlessly pursuing performance improvements and cost efficiency. This is all in service of sustainably growing cash flow and returns,” he added.
The beleaguered energy giant is poised to outline further details of its new direction at its Capital Markets Update on Wednesday afternoon.
An investor day presentation, which will be hosted by Auchnicloss and other members of the firm’s leadership team, is scheduled to take place from 1 p.m. London time.
