The decision could be made public later on Tuesday or as early as Wednesday morning, the report added. BP did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

BP was thrown into turmoil after Looney resigned on Sept. 12 for failing to disclose relationships with employees and leaving no clear succession plan in place.
