Somebody up there doesn’t like BP. That is one explanation for the failure of its attempt to sell its Argentine business for $7bn. Another – the one that should worry investors – is that BP, under chief executive Bob Dudley, is unable to complete strategic transactions. The unravelling of its joint venture with Rosneft this year was the first sign that something might be amiss; the collapse of the agreement to sell its 60 per cent stake in Pan American Energy to Bridas Corp is another.
老天爺不喜歡英國石油(BP)。對於該公司試圖以70億美元出售其阿根廷資產的努力宣告失敗一事，這是一種解釋。還有一種解釋是：由執行長鮑勃•達德利(Bob Dudley)掌舵的BP，沒有能力完成戰略性交易——這種解釋應該會讓投資者擔心。今年BP與俄羅斯石油公司(Rosneft)成立合資企業的交易流產，就是它某個地方可能出現了問題的第一個跡象；而此次向阿根廷油氣集團Bridas Corp出售所持泛美能源(Pan American Energy) 60%股份的協議告吹，則是又一個跡象。
