Russian state-owned oil champion Rosneft never considered buying BP PLC's (BP) assets in Russian venture TNK-BP (TNBP.RS), Rosneft's Chief Executive Igor Sechin said, Interfax reported Friday.

"We never thought about it. This is a new situation that is just now developing on the market," Interfax quoted Sechin as saying.

When asked if the company would be interested in buying the stake, Sechin said: "We need to research the entire volume of information and make a decision after that."

U.K.-listed energy giant BP PLC (BP) said Friday it is pursuing the potential sale of its 50% stake in Russian joint venture TNK-BP Holding, a move that would free it from governance skirmishes there but also deprive it of significant earnings.

BP and its partner,
AAR , have skirmished over corporate governance and the international role of TNK-BP , Russia 's third largest crude producer, since the company was formed in 2003.
