BP Plc’s incoming Chief Executive Officer Robert Dudley offered to sell projects in Vietnam, Pakistan and Venezuela to OAO Rosneft and TNK-BP, Vedomosti said today, citing an unnamed official closed to the British company.
Dudley and outgoing CEO Tony Hayward discussed large deals with Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin, who is also chairman of Rosneft, during meetings in Moscow earlier this week, Vedomosti reported, citing an unnamed government official. TNK-BP may be interested in Vietnamese assets, the newspaper said.
Vladimir Buyanov, a BP spokesman in Moscow, declined to comment when called by Bloomberg News.
