'BP's Castrol Unit Draws Interest From Reliance, Apollo and Lone Star'- Bloomberg

<ul>
<li>BP hired Goldman Sachs to sell Castrol, sources say</li>
<li>BP is under investor pressure, sources say</li>
<li>BP has tapped potential private equity, strategic investors, sources say</li>
<li>Company is working on more divestments, partial sale renewables</li>
</ul>
LONDON, May 22(Reuters) - BP <a href="https://workspace.refinitiv.com/web/apps/quotewebapi?RIC=BP.L">BP.L</a> has kicked off the sale of its more than a century-old <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL3N3PO0ZX">Castrol</a> lubricants business, according to two people with knowledge of the process, in a key step in the British energy group's divestment plan to boost its share price.
BP hired investment bank Goldman Sachs to sell the unit, the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the matter is private. The group has already contacted potential private equity and strategic bidders and distributed an information memorandum to them, one of the people said.
The group said in February it was reviewing Castrol as part of a plan to raise $20 billion by 2027 via asset sales to <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL3N3PH0RN">reduce</a> its debt.
In March Reuters reported that Saudi Aramco <a href="https://workspace.refinitiv.com/web/apps/quotewebapi?RIC=2222.SE">2222.SE</a> was one of the parties <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL3N3PO0ZX">considering</a> a potential bid for the business, but the start of the sale process and Goldman Sachs' hiring have not been reported yet.
The sale could raise between $8 billion and $10 billion based on Castrol's projected core earnings (EBITDA) of $1 billion for 2024, a second person said.
Responding to a Reuters query, BP did not comment on the details of Castrol's sale but said its divestment programme was progressing and it had already signed agreements for the first $1.5 billion of its $20 billion target.
"To position us for growth and reduce net debt, we are reallocating capital and driving greater focus in our portfolio, including through the strategic review of Castrol," the company said in a statement.
Goldman Sachs declined to comment.
Analysts at Bernstein said earlier this month that Castrol, which ranks as the world's third-largest standalone lubricants business behind those of Shell and ExxonMobil, could potentially fetch $10-$11 billion.
Investors have put <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL3N3PB169">pressure</a> on BP to improve profitability after its shares underperformed rivals, reflecting concerns it had put too much emphasis on renewable energy under former CEO Bernard Looney.
BP's shares have lost around a quarter of their value in the last 12 months, more than double the drop suffered by rival Shell <a href="https://workspace.refinitiv.com/web/apps/quotewebapi?RIC=SHEL.L">SHEL.L</a>.
While reducing overall investments, current CEO Murray Auchincloss has hiked spending on oil and gas and slashed BP's low-carbon budget.
BP's strategy is in the spotlight after activist investor Elliott Management took a stake in the company, and has been
<a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL4N3R01FV">asking</a> the oil major for significant savings and <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL8N3R313D">management</a> changes, Reuters reported in April.

In total, that's more than 50 different stocks bought and disclosed by Greene in the latest filing. Based on the purchase range of $1,001 to $15,000, this would make the transaction range over $50,000 and up to more than $800,000.

Why It's Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman's past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene&#8217;s past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order"> Bitcoin ETF </a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President Donald Trump. 
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> brushed aside the criticism.</a>
&#8220;I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades,&#8221; Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t place my buys and sells," Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. &#8220;He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that&#8217;s what anybody that has financial sense does."
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn&#8217;t a secret.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).  
&#8220;Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents,&#8221; Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public.&#8221;
Hawley said the bill will help &#8220;restore Americans&#8217; trust in our nation&#8217;s legislative body.&#8221;
Hawley&#8217;s bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
&#8220;Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it,&#8221; Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it&#8217;s important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.
