BP
will discuss divesting some of its assets in Europe and North America
to Reliance Industries as it seeks to enhance its partnership with one
of the largest independent companies in India.
Bob Dudley told the the company had announced $25 billion to $30 billion worth of divestments and would continue to manage its portfolio with more asset sales. BP had acquired a 30 percent stake in 23 oil and gas blocks in India from Reliance earlier this year, in a deal worth $7.2 billion. Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani had said this week the company's partnership with BP would not be limited to India, but was initially focusing only on opportunities in the country.
