C-42 CASE 3 BP In Russia: Bad Partners or Bad Partnerships? (A) Since entering the Russian oil market in 1997. BP plc (BP) had two main partners. The first was Rosneft. the Russian state-onened oll company. The second was Alpha Access Renova (AAR), a consortium of Soviet- born oligarchs and one of Russia's largest privately owned financial-industrial conglomerates, with interests in oil, gas, and banking new distinct oil companies was created, including Yukos, Onako, Sibneft, Tyumen (TNK), Lukeoil, Sidanko, and Slavneft, and beginning in 1995, stakes in these com panies were sold at auction. In 1999. AAR purchased a 51% interest in TNK, with the state retaining 49% From 1993 until 1999, Russian oil production was consistently third largest in the world, behind the United States and Saudi Arabia, but following the privatization auctions, Russian production increased steadily, even tually by over so%. By 2004. Russia had overtaken the United States as the second largest oil producer globally In January of 2011, BP and Rosneft announced the formation of a new strategic partnership to develop oil and gas reserves on the continental shelf in the Russian Arctic, covering approximately 125,000 square kilo- meters in the Kara Sea Yet within five months, AAR, with whom BP had already formed another partnership, would obtain a series of court injunctions, effectively scuttling the deal with Rosneft. (Exhibit 1). BP, TNK, and Sidanko BP entered the Russian oil market in 1997, when it purchased a 10% stake in Sidanko, one of the privat- ired oil companies, from the Russian banking group UNEXIM-MFK for $571 million USD. Two years later, Table 1 Ownership of Russian oil firms before and after TNK BP alliance The failure of the BP-Rosneft alliance could be attributed to a lack of due diligence on BP's part of. perhaps more saliently, to poor alliance management. A key conditional variable of any alliance is the degree of interpartner conflict: Alliance partners interests can diverge so much that they undermine the initial common goals of the partnership, and "effective coop- eration demands a relatively low level of conflict." In the wake of the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, which cost them tens of billions of US dol- lars, BP's interest was in expanding its oil assets and revenues. AAR's interest, meanwhile, was in main- taining TNK-BP's position in the Russian oil market, which the BP-Rosneft alliance would have undermined (Table 1).
