The sale is politically sensitive for BP and its partners, Norway’s Equinor and Algerian state-owned Sonatrach, in the wake of the January 2013 attacks when gunmen raided the site and 40 employees died after a four-day siege. The collapse in the discussions with Rosneft, in which BP itself holds a 19.75% stake, were partly a result of Equinor’s reluctance to partner with the Russian company, which faces U.S. sanctions, the sources who were close to the discussions said.
Security at Algeria’s southern oil and gas facilities has improved in recent years due to a boosted military presence.
