UAE oil giant circling BP gas fields
A state-backed oil giant from the United Arab Emirates is positioning itself for a swoop on BP's energy empire. Adnoc, the Abu Dhabi-owned group, has been considering a move for BP's key assets and looking to partner with another bidder to buy some of the FTSE 100 group's divisions, Bloomberg reported. The Middle Eastern company, which is run by Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, the UAE's energy minister, is said to be most interested in BP's liquefied natural gas (LNG) fields, rather than taking over the entire company. Adnoc recently started an international unit, XRG, which is on the hunt for gas and chemicals deals as it targets a big jump in LNG capacity. It is understood that XRG's discussions about a possible bid are at an early stage with no decisions made. No BP assets have been announced as being for sale. Adnoc has been a longstanding suitor for BP, with The Telegraph last year reporting that Adnoc had explored a full-blown takeover of the UK group, which has long suffered from a depressed stock market valuation. Deliberations did not advance after Adnoc concluded that BP was not the right fit for its strategy. The company was also concerned about the politics of any bid. A takeover of BP would almost certainly draw UK government involvement because of its significance to Britain. Sultan Al Jaber, who has run Anoc since 2016, is also the chairman of UAE media company IMI, which has been involved in funding a bid to buy The Telegraph. Adnoc's possible interest comes as BP battles to turn around its fortunes after a string of missteps in recent years. Murray Auchincloss, the chief executive, is trying to reset that with a return to oil and gas, and a plan to sell assets. Elliott, the US activist investor, also recently took a significant stake in the group and has been pushing for changes to improve performance and shareholder value, including spending cuts and asset sales, BP and Adnoc already have a long history of working together on projects. The London-headquartered company helped discover oil in Abu Dhabi more than half a century ago. Last year BP also took a 10pc stake in an LNG plant under construction in the emirate and the companies also struck a deal to form a joint venture focused on production from two vast Egyptian gas fields. Under the deal, BP transferred interests in three gas fields to the joint venture as well as exploration rights. Adnoc put cash into the joint venture helping BP raise funds to further expand in the Middle East. The move was part of BP's attempts to battle a prolonged underperformance stemming in large part from its previous focus on a net zero strategy. Other oil companies have also been exploring opportunities at BP, whose market value has fallen by a third in just over a year to below £60bn. Adnoc referred questions to XRG, which declined to comment. A BP spokesman said the group refused to comment on 'rumour and speculation'. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Metro Detroit restaurant M Cantina earns Guinness World Record for agave spirits
Junior Merino is known not only for serving an array of contemporary Mexican cuisine as chef and owner of M Cantina in Dearborn but also for the restaurant's cocktail and beverage program. The restaurant on Michigan Avenue houses a vast selection of spirits, particularly 100% agave. Now Merino, also a mixologist known as 'the Liquid Chef,' can add an official world record title holder for that impressive array of agave spirits that includes tequilas, mezcals, raicillas, bacanoras, sotols and others. On Tuesday, June 10, Merino earned a Guinness World Record title for having the most commercially available agave spirits in a restaurant. "Achieving this record is an honor,' Merino said in a news release, 'and it inspires us to continue exploring and celebrating Mexico's vibrant spirit culture while elevating Americans' understanding that Mexican food and beverage isn't cheap — and is just as rich as any other storied culture in the world." On site at M Cantina was Chloe McCarthy, the Official Guinness World Records adjudicator who certified Merino's collection of 1,825 distinct bottles of 100% agave spirits. Merino's collection is nearly 800 bottles more than the previous record of 1,033, set in 2024 by a New Jersey restaurant. 'Of the 1825 bottles, they're all the most high quality and authentic in nature,' McCarthy said in a news release. 'As part of Junior's effort to dispel the notions that tequila is hard to process or makes you feel sick, the most high quality spirits don't do that. I was touched by that.' Merino opened M Cantina, at first without a liquor license, eight years ago this week. The restaurant's menu specializes in gourmet Latino street food. Recognized by the Mexican government as an Official Ambassador of Gastronomy & Tourism & Promoter of All Mexican Beverages, Merino spent years curating his extensive selection of spirits, sourcing from various artisanal producers. Also at M Cantina on Tuesday for the Guinness certification was Giovanni Alcala, a representative from the government of the Mexican state of Jalisco. 'Jalisco is one of the biggest producers of tequila, so I'm just here out of pride for the work Junior has been doing the last few years for the Mexican community,' Alcala said in a news release. 'He's helping contribute to getting more promotion for agave spirit beverages.' While M Cantina has a vast collection of world-renowned agave spirits, there's also an impressive collection of rare whiskey. While enjoying M Cantina's selection of gourmet Mexican cuisine, guests have an opportunity to enjoy and learn about the collection through educational experiences. M Cantina, at 13214 Michigan Ave., in Dearborn, is open for lunch and dinner daily.
