BP in Russia: Dancing with bears

February 3rd, 2011 | No Comments

BP’s Russian venture is already proving trickier than expected

TONY HAYWARD, BP’s ex-boss, once moaned that he wanted his life back. That was after an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year, which the British oil giant expects will end up costing it more than $40 billion. BP, too, is struggling to get its old life back, even after apologising, helping with the clean-up, dumping Mr Hayward and taking a huge write-off.

On February 1st it announced its final, awful, results for 2010: a loss of $4.9 billion. That was BP’s first loss since 1992, but the company fondly hopes that it will now have an opportunity to move on. It would like to direct the world’s attention to its efforts to improve safety, its plan to start paying dividends once again this year and its ideas for the future. …

January 20th, 2011 | No Comments

BP’s Russian venture offers big rewards and big risks

EARLIER this month Bob Dudley was ferried along the ten-lane avenue that links Vladimir Putin’s home to the Kremlin. The Russian prime minister shook hands with the boss of BP, sealing a $16 billion deal. The British oil firm will gain access to Russia’s vast and deeply frozen Arctic oilfields. It will also get a 9.5% stake in Rosneft, Russia’s state-controlled oil giant, to add to the 1.3% it already owns. In return Rosneft will get 5% of BP. The deal was announced to the world on January 14th.

It is the first share swap between a national oil company and a private oil major. It is also the first joint venture to explore in an area that could hold as much oil and gas as the North Sea. Far from keeping a low profile after its disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year, BP seems eager to prove that it is as bold as ever. …
