ST. PETERSBURG, June 15. /TASS/. BP is satisfied with the level of its share in Russia’s Rosneft and has no plans to increase it, the British company’s chief executive Robert Dudley told reporters on Wednesday.

"We made a very large investment in Rosneft. We are very pleased with that level of investment. I think we will hold and keep working at the level we are," he said.

BP owns a 19.75% stake in Russia’s oil major.
