Group 2: BP's Situation - BP is currently in a financial struggle and is seeking to restructure by cutting costs, increasing fossil fuel investments, and divesting renewable energy assets [1]. - There are no clear alternative buyers for BP, as it seeks a "hard reset" to improve its market position [1][3].

Group 6: Debt Concerns - BP's debt situation, particularly residual liabilities from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident, poses significant risks for any potential acquirer [9]. - Analysts believe that merging with BP could dilute Shell's key performance metrics and contradict its communicated strategic focus [9].
