BP SAID it was committed to North Sea oil production despite what it said was the "terminal decline" of the fields, as it also said more favourable tax treatment from the government would be welcome.
It came as new BP chief executive Tony Hayward revealed that second-quarter underlying profits fell 1 per cent to $6.09 billion (£2.95bn) as refineries such as Thunderhorse in the Gulf of Mexico were out of action.

Industry won’t expand refineries since demand for gas will remain the same.
A push from Congress and the White House for huge increases in biofuels, such as ethanol, is prompting the oil industry to scale back its plans for refinery expansions. That could keep gasoline prices high, possibly for years to come.
With President Bush calling for a 20 percent drop in gasoline use and the Senate now debating legislation for huge increases in ethanol production, oil companies see growing uncertainty about future gasoline demand and little need to expand refineries or build new ones.

There are fears that, after almost four years of negotiations, the British-Russian joint company TNK-BP will be forced to cede control of the Kovytka gas field to Russia's state-controlled energy giant Gazprom.
Russia has said that TNK-BP is not producing enough gas from the field and is therefore not complying with production obligations. "How long should we tolerate it if participants of that consortium do nothing to meet the license obligations?" Putin asked on June 5. The Russian president didn't mention that TNK-BP has repeatedly said that the reason it can not meet license obligations is that Gazprom has blocked a plan to build a gas pipeline to China.
