Oil major BP PLC reiterated that Chairman Peter Sutherland will still be on the job for its general shareholders meeting in 2009, denying press reports that he may leave earlier.
BP tends to have its annual general meetings in April.
London’s Sunday Times reported the hand-over to a successor could happen within a year if a suitable candidate is identified.
The 61-year-old Mr. Sutherland has been nonexecutive chairman for more than a decade.
The newspaper also said the company had hired Anna Mann, head of MWM Consulting Inc., to conduct the international search for a new chairman. BP declined to confirm or deny this.
Mr. Sutherland in 2006 clashed over strategy with then-Chief Executive John Browne, who resigned in May this year. Lord Browne has since joined U.S. private-equity firm Riverstone Holdings LLC, which focuses on the energy and power industries, as the head of its new European branch.

Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
