BP公司勘探部门主管Richard Herbert在英国石油公司任职两年之后卸任。在此期间该公司一直致力于寻找新的油气储藏区。
Herbert曾经在BP工作多年，是公司执行总裁Bob Dudley的长期搭档。在Talisman energy工作几年之后，于2013年10月重回BP任职。在职期间的主要任务是帮助公司摆脱2010年墨西哥湾原油泄漏事件的影响，重建投资者信心。
但是在2014年中期，石油价格开始下滑，BP为Macondo石油泄漏事件支付500亿美元的赔款，此后减少了高成本勘探领域的发展。
据James Dupree表示，该决定是由Bernard Looney领导下的上游行政团队商议之后的集体决定。把勘探、全球项目、油气储藏区开发以及科技集于一体。
Howard Leach目前担任科技领域主管，现出任勘探部门临时主管。

BP Plc’s (NYSE:BP) head of exploration Richard Herbert is leaving the British oil major after slightly more than two years in the job, a period in which the company slashed spending on the search for new deposits.
Herbert, a BP veteran and a long-time ally of CEO Bob Dudley, rejoined BP in October 2013 after several years at rival Talisman Energy. His task was to lead exploration activity to help the firm rebuild investor confidence following a deadly U.S. Gulf oil spill in 2010.
But as oil prices began to crash from mid-2014 and BP had to shed assets to pay off some $50 billion in U.S. liabilities for the Macondo spill, the firm had to reduce funding for costly exploration projects.
BP said the departure followed a decision to simplify BP’s upstream executive team, headed by Bernard Looney, and bring exploration, global projects, reservoir developments and technology under one roof, reporting to James Dupree.
Howard Leach, currently head of technical functions in exploration, has been appointed interim head of exploration.
