Under CEO Meg O’Neill, BP reports significantly better numbers thanks to high oil prices: net income in the first half rose to USD 7.75 billion and operating cash flow to USD 13.72 billion. O’Neill sets five priorities focused on debt reduction, portfolio simplification — including a planned exit from North Sea production and the sale of drilling rigs — and more disciplined investments.
