L'évolution sismique du paysage de la lubrification exige des réponses agiles BP
BP Plc has officially launched the sale of its Castrol lubricants division in a potential $10 billion deal, marking one of the largest divestments in the British oil giant’s recent history. This move accelerates BP’s strategic pivot toward hydrogen projects divest and upstream assets, responding to pressure from activist investors like Elliott Management.
Why Castrol Sale Reshapes the Game
The potential buyers – Saudi Aramco, Apollo Global, and Reliance Industries – signal a massive consolidation wave in the lubricants sector. As UK Lubricants Association’s David Wright notes: “Who has the resources to absorb such an iconic brand?” This sale echoes BP’s broader $20 billion divestment plan, including recent exits from solar assets and refinery stakes.
For distributors and workshops, this creates unprecedented uncertainty. Castrol’s 124-year legacy now faces rebranding risks, supply chain disruptions, and potential R&D cuts under new ownership. It’s like watching football’s transfer window – but for industrial titans playing corporate musical chairs.
