FILE - In this Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2011 file picture, BP PLC's CEO Bob Dudley pauses during a results media conference at their headquarters in London.

Under Bob Dudley, who became CEO in October 2010, BP has been selling smaller assets while holding onto promising large resources that it hopes to exploit with its expertise in developing large projects.
