Ralph, that’s exactly what a public oil major won’t do. I worked for one. Profit maximisation is at the very bottom of the list, if on it at all.
First PR, then internal politics, then government and geopolitics, then net zero lunacy, then risk, then capex, then DEI, and finally project metrics.
I have seen ridiculous acquisitions done just because they somehow aligned all those ducks. Fulcrum BioEnergy, Green Biofuels Ltd etc.
