NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- A BP PLC (BP 35.52, +0.33, +0.94%) spokesman said Tuesday the oil giant is placing on the selling block oil and gas assets in Pakistan and Vietnam as part of its effort to sell $10 billion in properties. "In the past few days we have informed governments in both Pakistan and Vietnam of our intention to divest our upstream assets in both countries," BP spokesman Dean Scott said in an email to MarketWatch. "It is too early to speculate about potential purchasers, or possible value." Scott said the asset sale fits the company's mid-June plan to raise capital to help pay expenses related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
