The BBC reported BP with its pivot hopes to increase production to between 2.3 million and 2.5 million barrels of oil per day by 2030. The Brazil find also comes at the same time BP announced that it started its Argos Southwest Expansion in the Gulf of Mexico. With Argos, BP is adding 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

BP has been under ongoing pressure from investors for underperforming compared to its rivals in recent years. In February, BP slashed its planned investments in renewable energy projects and said it would spend billions of dollars more a year on its oil and gas operations in a bid to improve investor confidence.

BP has made its largest oil and natural gas discovery in 25 years off the coast of Brazil, it said Monday, in a potential big boost for the British company following its strategic shift away from renewable energy to refocus on fossil fuels.
