LONDON — BP PLC reported a 28 percent rise in second-quarter net profit Tuesday on surging energy prices and vowed to fight for its troubled Russian joint venture, TNK-BP.
BP, Europe’s second-biggest oil producer, posted net profit of $9.47 billion for the three months ending June 30, up from $7.38 billion in the same period a year ago.
Revenues jumped 49 percent to $110.98 billion as the price for a barrel of oil rose by around 35 percent over the quarter.
