The sale comes as BP reviews how to develop its oil and gas production assets and cut costs as part of a $20 billion divestment programme by end-2027.
It has been under pressure from investors after years of underperforming rivals and also the target of activist investor Elliott.
BP’s US onshore oil and gas business, Bpx Energy, will hold a 51% stake in the Permian assets and 25% in the Eagle Ford assets after the deal, the oil major said.
