LONDON (Reuters) - Nothing escapes the winds of change now sweeping through BP, not even the exploration team that for more than a century powered its profits by discovering billions of barrels of oil.
Its geologists, engineers and scientists have been cut to less than 100 from a peak of more than 700 a few years ago, company sources told Reuters, part of a climate change-driven overhaul triggered last year by CEO Bernard Looney.
"The winds have turned very chilly in the exploration team since Looney's arrival. This is happening incredibly fast," a senior member of the team told Reuters.
Hundreds have left the oil exploration team in recent months, either transferred to help develop new low-carbon activities or laid off, current and former employees said.
The exodus is the starkest sign yet from inside the company of its rapid shift away from oil and gas, which will nevertheless be its main source of cash to finance a switch to renewables for at least the next decade.
BP declined to comment on the staffing changes, which have not been publicly disclosed.
Reuters spoke to a dozen former and current employees of BP who highlighted the massive challenges the company faces in its transition from fossil fuels to carbon neutrality.
Looney made his intentions clear internally and externally by lowering BP's production targets and becoming the first oil major CEO to promote this as a positive to investors seeking a long-term vision for a lower-carbon economy.
BP is cutting some 10,000 jobs, around 15% of its workforce, under Looney's restructuring, the most aggressive among Europe's oil giants including Royal Dutch Shell and Total.
The 50-year-old, a veteran oil engineer who previously headed the oil and gas exploration and production division, aims to cut output by 1 million barrels per day, or 40%, over the next decade while growing renewable energy output 20 fold.
Despite the changes, oil and gas will remain BP's main source of revenue until at least 2030.
And Looney's drive to reinvent BP has done nothing to boost its shares, which hit their lowest level in 25 years late in 2020 and dropped 44% in the year, mostly over doubts whether it will be able transform and make the profits it aims for.
The change marks the end of an era for exploration teams from Moscow and Houston to BP's research headquarters in Sunbury near London, with farewell gatherings held on Zoom in recent months, they added.
"The atmosphere was brutal," a former employee said at the time of last year's lay-offs.
For BP's whittled down exploration team, led by Ariel Flores, the former North Sea boss, the focus has narrowed to searching for new resources near existing oil and gas fields in order to offset production declines and minimize spending.
"We are in a harvest mode and what isn't being said is that BP is going to be a much smaller company without exploration," a second source in BP's oil and production division said.
Flores was not available for comment.
Data from Norwegian consultancy Rystad Energy shows BP acquired around 3,000 square kilometres of new exploration licences in 2020, its lowest since at least 2015 and far less than at Shell, which acquired around 11,000 square kilometres, or Total, which bought some 17,000 square kilometres.
Although global exploration activity slowed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the drop at BP was mainly a result of the change in strategy, four company sources said.

Oil and gas exploration has been the spearhead of companies' evolution into huge multinationals that delivered enormous profits to shareholders over the decades.
BP began reducing its spending on exploration under former CEO Bob Dudley in response to the 2014 oil price crash, aiming to use technology to unlock more oil and gas reserves.
Looney is driving the exploration budget even lower, to around $350 to $400 million per year. That is around half of what BP spent in 2019 and a fraction of the $4.6 billion spent on exploration in 2010.
BP last year also wiped $20 billion from the value of its oil and gas assets after slashing its outlook for energy prices. At those lower price assumptions, BP no longer considered many of its oil and gas reserves worth developing.

BEYOND PETROLEUM
BP, which started as the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in 1908 and has since discovered massive fossil fuel resources in places such as Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan, the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, has attempted to diversify into renewables before.
Under CEO John Browne BP launched "Beyond Petroleum," investing billions in wind farms and solar power technology, but the vast majority of the investments failed.
Looney believes his plan will succeed with unprecedented government support for the energy transition and technological advances that make renewable energy more affordable than ever. He has enlisted Giulia Chierchia, a former McKinsey executive to oversee the development of BP's strategy.
And a team of geologists and data crunchers led by Houston-based Kirsty McCormack, who was previously in the exploration unit, will now apply analytics used to study and map rock structures in search of fossil fuels to develop low-carbon technologies such as carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) and geothermal energy, company sources said.
Absorbing carbon dioxide emitted by heavily polluting industries and injecting it into depleted oil reservoirs is seen as key in the energy transition by helping to offset emissions.
Other oil veterans have also been reassigned, with Felipe Arbelaez, who previously headed BP's oil and gas operations in Latin America, now leading its renewables business and Louise Jacobsen Plutt, an experienced oil engineer, now senior vice president hydrogen CCUS.
BP also poached staff from Uber, Toyota and Silicon Valley to boost its understanding of electric vehicles, power markets, renewables and expanding its capabilities in big data.
Franziska Bell, a former Toyota employee, is vice president for data and analytics at BP while Justin Lewis joined the company in July to head its high-tech start-up venture after working as a software engineer at Tesla.
The transformation has been met with a mix of awe and concern among employees who are wondering if the pace is sustainable and whether it is enough for BP to compete in a rapidly-changing energy world.
Some senior current and former employees warned that BP risks rushing into investments in new fields before fully understanding how they will fit into a transformed company, while abandoning long-standing sources of cash.
"There is so much internal change that it will be a big job to pick up the organisation and get things going," a senior employee in the exploration division said.

LONDON (Reuters) - Nothing escapes the winds of change now sweeping through BP, not even the exploration team that for more than a century powered its

Its geologists, engineers and scientists have been cut to less than 100 from a peak of more than 700 a few years ago, company sources told Reuters, part of a climate change-driven overhaul triggered last year by CEO Bernard

"The winds have turned very chilly in the exploration team since Looney's

谢谢楼主，我虽然不是专业，可是我看法是跟你 相反的。我觉得BP是开始脱胎换骨的
时候，将会往好的方向。我零星记得的一些新闻，很可能有细微出入：
1，英国在2030？年所以汽车不用油
2，美国政府车准备开始全面逐步换成电车
结论是电车基本是趋势，中国也是极力推进的。这些都是世界前列的国家，他们的带头非常的重要。汽车在未来不用汽油我觉得是可以看得见的。
当然航空塑料橡胶?这些都要靠石油公司.不知道汽车这块占石油公司的利润组成是多少,如果很高的话,石油公司转型是非常应该的.
你亚太转牛角尖了
理念有个jb用

: and former employees said.
:
: The exodus is the starkest sign yet from inside the company of its rapid
: shift away from oil and gas, which will nevertheless be its main source of
: cash to finance a switch to renewables for at least the next decade.
:
: BP declined to comment on the staffing changes, which have not been
publicly
: disclosed.
:
: Reuters spoke to a dozen former and current employees of BP who
highlighted
: the massive challenges the company faces in its transition from fossil
fuels
: to carbon neutrality.
:
: Looney made his intentions clear internally and externally by lowering BP's
: production targets and becoming the first oil major CEO to promote this as a
: positive to investors seeking a long-term vision for a lower-carbon
economy.
:
: BP is cutting some 10,000 jobs, around 15% of its workforce, under Looney's
: restructuring, the most aggressive among Europe's oil giants including
Royal
: Dutch Shell and Total.
:
: The 50-year-old, a veteran oil engineer who previously headed the oil and : gas exploration and production division, aims to cut output by 1 million
: barrels per day, or 40%, over the next decade while growing renewable
energy
: output 20 fold.
:
: Despite the changes, oil and gas will remain BP's main source of revenue
: until at least 2030.
:
: And Looney's drive to reinvent BP has done nothing to boost its shares,
: which hit their lowest level in 25 years late in 2020 and dropped 44% in
the
: year, mostly over doubts whether it will be able transform and make the
: profits it aims for.
:
: The change marks the end of an era for exploration teams from Moscow and
: Houston to BP's research headquarters in Sunbury near London, with
farewell
: gatherings held on Zoom in recent months, they added.
:
: "The atmosphere was brutal," a former employee said at the time of last
year
: 's lay-offs.
:
: For BP's whittled down exploration team, led by Ariel Flores, the former
: North Sea boss, the focus has narrowed to searching for new resources near
: existing oil and gas fields in order to offset production declines and
: minimize spending.
:
: "We are in a harvest mode and what isn't being said is that BP is going to
: be a much smaller company without exploration," a second source in BP's
oil
: and production division said.
:
: Flores was not available for comment.
:
: Data from Norwegian consultancy Rystad Energy shows BP acquired around 3,
000
: square kilometres of new exploration licences in 2020, its lowest since
at
: least 2015 and far less than at Shell, which acquired around 11,000 square
: kilometres, or Total, which bought some 17,000 square kilometres.
:
: Although global exploration activity slowed last year due to the COVID-19 : pandemic, the drop at BP was mainly a result of the change in strategy,
four
: company sources said.

:
: Oil and gas exploration has been the spearhead of companies' evolution
into
: huge multinationals that delivered enormous profits to shareholders over
the
: decades.
:
: BP began reducing its spending on exploration under former CEO Bob Dudley in
: response to the 2014 oil price crash, aiming to use technology to unlock : more oil and gas reserves.
:
: Looney is driving the exploration budget even lower, to around $350 to $
400
: million per year. That is around half of what BP spent in 2019 and a
: fraction of the $4.6 billion spent on exploration in 2010.
:
: BP last year also wiped $20 billion from the value of its oil and gas
assets
: after slashing its outlook for energy prices. At those lower price
: assumptions, BP no longer considered many of its oil and gas reserves
worth
: developing.

:
: BEYOND PETROLEUM
:
: BP, which started as the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in 1908 and has since
: discovered massive fossil fuel resources in places such as Iran, Iraq,
: Azerbaijan, the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, has attempted to
diversify
: into renewables before.
:
: Under CEO John Browne BP launched "Beyond Petroleum," investing billions
in
: wind farms and solar power technology, but the vast majority of the
: investments failed.
:
: Looney believes his plan will succeed with unprecedented government
support
: for the energy transition and technological advances that make renewable
: energy more affordable than ever. He has enlisted Giulia Chierchia, a
former
: McKinsey executive to oversee the development of BP's strategy.
:
: And a team of geologists and data crunchers led by Houston-based Kirsty
: McCormack, who was previously in the exploration unit, will now apply
: analytics used to study and map rock structures in search of fossil fuels to
: develop low-carbon technologies such as carbon capture, usage and storage (
: CCUS) and geothermal energy, company sources said.
:
: Absorbing carbon dioxide emitted by heavily polluting industries and
: injecting it into depleted oil reservoirs is seen as key in the energy
: transition by helping to offset emissions.
:
: Other oil veterans have also been reassigned, with Felipe Arbelaez, who
: previously headed BP's oil and gas operations in Latin America, now
leading
: its renewables business and Louise Jacobsen Plutt, an experienced oil
: engineer, now senior vice president hydrogen CCUS.
:
: BP also poached staff from Uber, Toyota and Silicon Valley to boost its
: understanding of electric vehicles, power markets, renewables and
expanding
: its capabilities in big data.
:
: Franziska Bell, a former Toyota employee, is vice president for data and
: analytics at BP while Justin Lewis joined the company in July to head its : high-tech start-up venture after working as a software engineer at Tesla.
:
: The transformation has been met with a mix of awe and concern among
: employees who are wondering if the pace is sustainable and whether it is
: enough for BP to compete in a rapidly-changing energy world.
:
: Some senior current and former employees warned that BP risks rushing into
: investments in new fields before fully understanding how they will fit
into
: a transformed company, while abandoning long-standing sources of cash.
:
: "There is so much internal change that it will be a big job to pick up the
: organisation and get things going," a senior employee in the exploration
: division said.

要转型也不应该直接去做新能源上游。
转型部分业务去做电厂相关的啊，电力维修，如果形势好的话，然后再去搞新能源上游。
有一些油服就转型兼做电力设备维护了。
这ＣＥＯ脑子坏了。
我去年买过一些ＢＰ，都是没多久就扔了。１００股，放着无所谓了。
感觉ＢＰ这个６％的ｄｉｖｉｄｅｎｄ很危险。

纯搞石油，不做新能源肯定是毫无希望的。最大的问题是，按现在的趋势，风电和太阳能的单位价格会比煤炭发电更便宜，和烧油相比就更不用说了。只有天然气发电会更便宜一点。
按BP的数据，大约有44%的油是用于汽车交通，这部分的需要以后就慢慢消失了。http://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/news-and-insights/speeches/back-to-the-future-electric-vehicles-and-oil-demand.html
BP想过得好必须要油价大涨，否则高分红和债务利息都是沉重的负担。
不过油价大涨是双刃剑，油价越高对新能源越是利好。传统能源向新能源转换已经快到turning point了，大趋势不可避免的。

新能源完全是为了忽悠未发展国家的，现在是把自己给忽悠进去了
是啊。国家推新能源是因为环保，厂商推新能源是为了商机也是为了生存。
拿皮卡来说，现在汽车三大都在推电动皮卡。皮卡油耗大跑得又多，假设一辆皮卡每年油费6000元，换成电动皮卡，按中西部的电费，每年能源费可以降到2000元，维护费再少1000元，每年的节省就是5000元。这种成本上的优势是碾压性的，没法阻挡。

几天紧了点 BP,等它会24，公司里那些搞地址勘探的裁了了以后可以慢慢招回来。 现
在是做个样子给投资人。 他家财务在大油里最差，不搞点事情没法交代
10/29/2021
以 01/25/2021 我换股为界限，刀今天目前为止
BP从22。22刀涨到 28.73刀 涨幅 29.3%
XOM 从 44.84刀涨到 64.67刀涨幅 44.2%
分红的话， BP 4.5%， XOM 5.3%
XOM 不论分红，还是涨幅都领先于BP 15%， 这俩股不是完全一样的，
我前面跳船的策略目前还是对的。
