BP has put its North Sea business up for sale, ending more than 60 years of operating in the basin [1]. The unit spans five hubs and produces about 117,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day, and roughly 1,100 jobs are tied to it [1].
The company launched the sale on July 31 [1]. That step hands the future of those 1,100 jobs to whoever buys the assets [1].
For a region that helped anchor UK energy for six decades, the move marks a clear exit by one of its longest-running operators [1]. The people who run the five hubs now wait to learn who their employer will be.
