Corporate week in brief: BP, Shell and Total end 2018 with a flourish
Report summary
Oil and gas stocks took a battering in Q4, leaving the sector deeply in the red for the year. Volatility also took its toll on upstream M&A, pushing Q4 deal count to its lowest level since Q1 2015. Still, company guidance suggests that upstream investment will increase in 2019, and the Euro Majors ended the year with a flurry of positive announcements: • BP and Kosmos sanction Tortue LNG Phase 1 • Shell commits to Vaca Muerta investment • Shell buys 49% interest in Cleantech Solar • Total brings Egina onstream • Shell opens the taps on Prelude
