(Vedomosti) -- BP might sell half of
its share in TNK-BP, joint-venture operating in Russia and Ukraine. Gazprom and
Rosneft are the most probable buyers, but there is a possibility that company's
assets in Vietnam, Argentina and Pakistan will be sold as well.
Deputy head of TNK-BP Maxim Barskiy denied rumors about possible sale of BP
share in the JV. “As far as I know, no negotiations about sale are going, and
they don’t intend to sell their share”, - said Barskiy who is going to take over
the seat of company’s head on January 1, 2011, as per Reuters. However, the
question about the sale of a part of BP's share in TNK-BP was on the agenda of
yesterday’s BP Board meeting.
