(BP) -- BP announced today that an arbitral
tribunal has ruled that the interim injunction issued to prevent BP’s proposed
transaction with Rosneft, which includes Arctic exploration and a share swap
transaction, from proceeding should continue. BP will now apply for a
determination whether the share swap may proceed on its own.
BP said it looks forward to finding a way to resolve its differences with
its Russian partners to allow these important Russian Arctic developments to
proceed in future.
BP has a long history as a leader in oil and gas exploration and the
development of new technologies. BP intends to continue in that role for decades
to come as the world looks to satisfy its increasing demand for secure,
affordable energy supplies. BP has the scale and experience to use these new
technologies to develop frontiers like the Russian Arctic.
