Galp confirmed in a statement that, after several months of negotiations, "it was not possible to reach an agreement" with the shareholders of Spain's Moeve, Mubadala Investment Company and Carlyle, to combine their downstream, refining and distribution businesses. The Portuguese oil company said the outcome does not affect its operations. Moeve CEO Maarten Wetselaar said the combination was an opportunity to accelerate value creation but that it never depended on it. Galp also reported net profit of 682 million euros in the third quarter, up 68% year on year.
