BP and Russia's Rosneft sign Arctic oil deal

BP has signed a joint venture with Russian energy firm Rosneft to exploit potentially huge deposits of oil and gas in Russia's Arctic shelf.

The agreement will see the firms exchange expertise in exploring the region.

It is BP's first deal since the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year, which cost it billions.
