Revived bid rumours are pushing up shares in Dana Petroleum, with BP the latest name in the frame.
Earlier this year there was talk that Dana - a perennial takeover favourite - was in the sights of Germany's RWE, with a price of £18 a share mentioned. Today traders are hearing of a possible offer from - of all people - BP. The price is said to be £17.
One to be taken with a pinch of salt, perhaps, but Dana's shares are moving on the story, now up 44p at £13.11.
