BP is set to gain from the reopening of a North Sea gas field

BP is set to gain from the reopening of a North Sea gas field that has lain dormant for three years because of international sanctions against Iran, the Mail on Sunday reported. The Rhum gas field is jointly owned by BP and National Iranian Oil and once supplied 5% of UK gas output. With UK-Iran relations thawing, the Government is close to agreeing a sanctions waiver for the field, giving a multi-million pound boost to BP and the Iranian company.
