BP PLC explored a $4.5B acquisition of DEVON ENERGY CORP assets in South Texas before walking away, four sources familiar with the matter said late Wednesday. The London-headquartered energy major recently re-entered shale data rooms under new leadership after years of prioritizing renewable investments.
