BP considers Gazprom gas pipeline to UK AAR chief executive Stan Polovets told the Wall Street Journal it was "very disappointed" that "rather than bringing the opportunity to TNK-BP , BP has decided not to pursue it at all." But sources close to BP suggested its reply to AAR still allowed it to look at parts of the pipeline project outside of Russia. A BP spokesman said: "We look at opportunities all over the world and consider them on their merits."
