BP却是技术与资金具备
俱备 不是 具备

too big for your boots  (British, American & Australian informal) also too big for your britches (American informal)
someone who is too big for their boots behaves as if they are more important or more clever than they really are Since he was made team captain, he's been ordering us all around and generally getting much too big for his boots.

BP is betting that nothing so unfortunate will happen to its new deal.

这里的nothing so unfortunate 是指类似于尤科斯石油公司的不幸之灾。

For BP, the potential rewards are huge but distant. After seismic testing and surveys the first test well will probably be sunk in around 2015. Full commercial production is unlikely before the early 2020s, but should continue for 20-30 years. Profits are thus years away, and much could change in Russian politics during that time. 原译：对于英石油而言，潜在的回报是巨大的，但是有些遥远。在地震波测试以及对第一块油井进行测试调查之后，都快到2015年了。在21世纪20年代早期之前，完全意义上的商业产品也不大可能出炉，但是应该会持续20-30年的时间。获得盈利也是若干年后的事情了，而且在这期间俄罗斯政坛也可能会改变不少。
评论：对于英石油而言，潜在的回报巨大但是遥远。施行人工地震术试验和测勘之后，第一个测试油井恐怕要到2015年才能打好。在21世纪20年代早期之前，完全意义上的商业性石油生产不大可能，但是（一旦生产开始）应该会持续20-30年的时间。所以，盈利是许多年之后的事，而在这段时间里，俄罗斯政坛也可能会有许多变化。

Meanwhile, it might pay for BP to re-read Rosneft’s prospectus, issued when it listed in London in 2006: “The Russian government, whose interests may not coincide with those of other shareholders, controls Rosneft and may cause Rosneft to engage in business practices that do not maximise shareholder value.”原译：同时，为了重新审视俄罗斯石油公司的招股书，英石油或许也要付出一些代价，这份招股书在2006年发布于伦敦：“或许和其他股东的兴趣不同，俄罗斯政府控制着俄罗斯石油公司，同时可能会让俄罗斯石油公司从事一些商业交易活动，而这些活动不会使股东的收益最大化。”
评论：it might pay for BP to re-read Rosneft’s prospectus 英石油最好要重新审读招股书， 这对它自身会有好处的。
It pays to do sth。 作某事会有好处的。 某事该做。
“俄罗斯政府是俄罗斯石油公司的控股方，政府的利益有可能会跟其他股东的利益不一致， 这就可能导致俄罗斯石油公司从事某些不使股东收益最大化的商业交易活动。”

an oil firm the Kremlin dismantled eight years ago after its boss, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, grew too big for his boots.
这家公司在8年前，由于其老板米哈伊尔•霍多尔科夫斯基（Mikhail Khodorkovsky）自作聪明且自以为是而被克里姆林宫解散。
语序小小调整下~
