The report of the fundraising comes days after the company decided to write off up to $17.5 billion from the value of its assets after cutting its long-term oil and gas price forecasts, betting the COVID-19 crisis would pressure energy demand and accelerate a shift away from fossil fuels.

BP did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
