BP is undergoing a major organizational restructuring effective July 1, 2026, simplifying its business from the existing three-segment structure to two core segments — Upstream and Downstream. The Upstream division will combine oil and gas exploration, development, production, upstream joint ventures, renewable natural gas and carbon capture and storage businesses under a single structure, while the Downstream segment will integrate refining, pipelines, terminals, mobility, convenience, biofuels, aviation, hydrogen and Castrol operations. Management believes this streamlined structure will reduce organizational complexity, improve accountability, accelerate decision-making and strengthen operational execution. The reorganization supports BP's broader strategy of simplifying its portfolio, maintaining capital discipline and strengthening its balance sheet, with the company expecting the new structure to improve performance, drive cost efficiencies and support sustainable earnings growth over time. BP's shares have gained 31.2% over the past year, and the company trades at a trailing 12-month enterprise-value-to-EBITDA of 2.99X, below the broader industry average of 6.07X.
