05 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Dear fellow shareholders, 2020: the year of the pandemic In every sense, 2020 was an extraordinary year. The worst pandemic in a century has cost well over 2 million lives and caused worldwide economic and social disruption. While vaccination programmes are now building momentum, the path to recovery remains uncertain. Because demand for energy is closely linked to human activity, our sector was deeply affected. The combination of a steep fall in share values for almost all oil and gas companies and a new bp distribution policy significantly affected your shareholder returns. As chairman of your board, I am conscious of my responsibilities to bp’s shareholders. When the board decided to reset our distribution policy, it did so with a view to your long-term interests. Our priorities were, and remain, weathering the immediate challenge of the pandemic; paying a resilient dividend; strengthening our balance sheet; investing into the energy transition; investing in our resilient hydrocarbons business and, after that, returning surplus cash« to shareholders through buybacks. The board was unanimous in its support for this course of action, which will help establish bp as an Integrated Energy Company. I hope that bp’s new investor proposition and financial frame give reasons for optimism about bp’s long-term prospects. As we turn to 2021, the board’s focus is on supporting bp’s leadership team to deliver our new strategy, and on building renewed shareholder confidence through strategic progress and operational and financial performance. 2020 was also tough for our people. My board colleagues and I are proud of them. Their commitment – on rigs, in refineries, across retail stations and everywhere else in bp – helped keep the world’s lights on and allowed us to provide many emergency services with free or heavily discounted fuel. Despite new COVID-19-related practical challenges, our people maintained the safety of bp’s operations. That is a testament to their careful work. bp’s new purpose 2020 was a remarkable year for bp for other reasons too. With the backing of the board, our new CEO, Bernard Looney, introduced a new company purpose: reimagining energy for people and our planet. That purpose – together with our strong culture and values – underpins the net zero ambition that we set out last year, together with our new strategy, financial frame and investor proposition. It also informed bp’s reinvention – the selection of a new leadership team, and the replacement of bp’s upstream/downstream model with a new, integrated group structure. Change of this scale necessitated a reorganization of how we work. That reorganization will ultimately see close to 10,000 colleagues leaving bp. Saying goodbye has been difficult, but the result is a leaner, flatter, nimbler company – better able to realize the opportunities of the energy transition. Macro-economic developments have only strengthened the board’s belief that the direction in which we are taking bp is the right one – including China’s new net zero target, the EU’s Green Deal, the UK’s plan for a green industrial revolution, and the US’s recommitment to the Paris Agreement. Today, global energy markets are even further down the path of fundamental change – and bp is well-positioned to help to speed the world’s journey to net zero. A year of engagement While this is a journey that will require patience, our goal is that bp over time will become a more valuable company for its shareholders and bring wider benefits for society. Of course, the journey to net zero is, in part, one of discovery. For that reason, the board and bp’s leadership team know that we must be fully open to advice, learning and challenge. 2020 was therefore a year of engagement with our stakeholders, and I am grateful for the inputs we received – which helped us shape our new strategy, financial frame and investor proposition, sustainability frame and position on biodiversity. We will keep listening, and we count on you to share your feedback with us as we travel the road to net zero together. Evolution of the board As the company evolves, the board’s composition will evolve too – reflecting the need for new experiences and skills aligned with bp’s new direction. During the year, the board said goodbye to our former CEO, Bob Dudley, and to Brian Gilvary, our former CFO. Sir Ian Davis, Nils Andersen and Dame Alison Carnwath have also stepped down from the board, and we shall shortly say farewell to Brendan Nelson. Collectively and individually they served with distinction – bp is very fortunate to have had their wise advice and strong leadership. We are just as fortunate to welcome Tushar Morzaria, Karen Richardson and Johannes Teyssen to bp’s board for the first time. Closing thanks I would like to thank Bernard Looney, his leadership team and everyone in bp for their work during 2020. Throughout this challenging year, they showed characteristic determination. Finally, I thank you, our shareholders. I am grateful both for the continued support we received during 2020, and also for the support of our new shareholders. During 2020, we received investment and other endorsement from those who told us they would not have considered supporting bp were it not for the transformation we have begun. We look forward to repaying the faith you have placed in bp. Helge Lund, Chairman 22 March 2021

06 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Chief executive officer’s letter $20.3bn loss attributable to bp shareholders Dear shareholders, The year 2020 will be remembered above all for the pain, sadness and loss of life caused by COVID-19. At bp, our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the colleagues we have lost. Thousands more on our teams have had the virus, and life under lockdown has meant additional challenges, and anxiety for everyone. I want to pay particular tribute to those on the frontline of our business who have kept our plants and platforms running, our shops and forecourts open, and energy flowing to the world. They have sacrificed so much and earned our deepest respect and appreciation. Responding to brutal conditions We began our transformation from an International Oil Company to an Integrated Energy Company against this backdrop, along with lower oil and gas prices, lower refining margins and unprecedented falls in demand for our retail and aviation fuels. Our response included lowering costs, strengthening the balance sheet with an innovative hybrid bond issue, and advancing our strategy to become I want to pay particular tribute to those on the frontline of our business who have kept our plants and platforms running, our shops and forecourts open, and energy flowing to the world.

07 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 a more diversified, resilient and lower carbon company. As part of our strategy planning process, we reviewed our portfolio and development plans. This work – informed by bp’s views of the long-term price environment – led to significant impairment charges and non-cash exploration write-offs in the second quarter. For shareholders, all this was reflected in a reset dividend and a diminished share price. I recognize the financial impact this must have had on you. However, I wholeheartedly believe we will not just restore, but will enhance the long-term sustainable value of your company through the actions we are taking to reinvent bp. And despite the most brutal operating conditions I can remember in almost 30 years in this industry, we have made considerable operational and strategic progress. Performing while transforming The loss of $20.3 billion we reported for the year is clearly disappointing. However, it in no way reflects the heroic efforts of the bp team in extremely difficult circumstances, or their deep commitment to performing while transforming: Most importantly – our safety performance continued to improve. Reliability of 94% for bp’s operated plants« and refining availability« of 96% represents remarkably strong performance, especially given the challenges faced by our frontline staff. Capital was reset and we delivered at the lower end of the range. We made good progress towards our net debt« target, including the contribution from high grading our portfolio and $6.6 billion of divestment and other proceeds received during the year. New oil and gas production came on from four major projects« – in India, Oman, the UK and the US. Natural gas from the Shah Deniz field in the Caspian Sea arrived in Italy following final completion of the historic Southern Gas Corridor project. And we doubled our retail network in growth markets to around 2,700 retail sites«, plus the addition of around 300 strategic convenience sites«. Reinventing bp This performance is even more remarkable given that we have been carrying out the most extensive reorganization in bp’s 112-year history. We have retired the upstream/downstream business model that has served bp very well. In its place we have introduced a leaner, flatter structure, stripping away tiers of management and lowering the workforce towards a target of around 10,000 fewer jobs. My role is now five layers at most away from more than half of our employees. That means people’s ideas and voices can be more easily heard – and decisions taken much faster. We are now more centralized, more agile, and better integrated. This enables us to maximize value creation in a rapidly evolving market through economies of scale, and by exploiting synergies and driving continuous improvement in operational performance. We are now organized around four business groups. Production & operations is the operating heart of the company – and is focusing our resilient hydrocarbons portfolio on value. Customers & products is growing our convenience and mobility offers for an increasing number of customers. Gas & low carbon energy is growing to help meet rapidly increasing clean energy demand. Innovation & engineering acts as a catalyst, opening up new and disruptive business models and driving our digital transformation. And our trading & shipping business and regions, cities & solutions team knit together the offers of our four core groups to drive greater value creation. Reimagining energy Completing our transformation to a net zero Integrated Energy Company will take time. But we are led by our purpose – to reimagine energy for people and our planet – and motivated by the opportunity we see in the energy transition. Trillions of dollars of investment will be needed over the next 30 years in replumbing and rewiring the global energy system. We now have offshore wind partnerships in the US with Equinor and in the UK with EnBW – two of the best regions globally for the world’s fastest-growing source of energy. Our solar development joint venture«, Lightsource bp, is growing prolifically. We are working with Ørsted to develop green hydrogen for our Lingen refinery. We have joined forces with the mobility platform DiDi to build a network of electric vehicle chargers in China, by far the world’s biggest market for EVs. And we have a growing list of low carbon partnerships with cities such as Aberdeen and Houston and some of the world’s leading companies, including Amazon, Microsoft, Qantas and Uber. A compelling investor proposition We are fully focused at all times on the bottom line of the business – on executing our strategy while operating safely, reliably and with discipline. We continue to build resilience and strength in the balance sheet as conditions remain challenging and uncertain while vaccines roll out, the pandemic recedes, and economies look to recover. At the same time, we are transforming to create value from the energy transition over the long term. We see tremendous business opportunity in providing people with the reliable, affordable, clean energy they want and need. Our net zero ambition is clearly the right thing for society, but we know it does not give us a free pass in a fast-changing world. We have to show you the evidence that we can compete fiercely and add value – in service of the compelling investor proposition we believe we offer: Committed distributions – including the dividend as the number one priority; Profitable growth; and Sustainable value. This is all in service of growing long-term shareholder value, that is our job. And I promise to keep you well informed as we execute our plans. As ever, thank you for your continued support – I will never take that for granted. And I look forward to any feedback you might have. Thank you. Bernard Looney, Chief executive officer 22 March 2021

08 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Energy markets Global context Mobilizing safely in the North Sea In 2020 bp managed more than 15,000 journeys by people mobilizing to and from our North Sea assets. As the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in the UK, the bp North Sea team quickly implemented wide-ranging and robust COVID-19-specific measures to protect the safety and wellbeing of offshore colleagues. The ‘Safe Passage’ programme was introduced during the first UK lockdown to help individuals travel to Aberdeen for mobilization as safely as possible. The programme provided door-to-door transport, accommodation during the journey to Aberdeen and hotels in the city dedicated to bp staff and contractors. We introduced pre-mobilization COVID-19 testing in Aberdeen, one of the first operators in the North Sea to do this. Social distancing and enhanced hygiene and cleaning regimes continue to play a vital role in protecting the health and wellbeing of our offshore teams. Specialist ‘C-MED’ medevac helicopters, equipped with an on-board medic and configured to enable social distancing, were introduced to safely transport individuals suspected of contracting the virus back to shore for further treatment and support. COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has affected individuals, countries and businesses. The spread of the pandemic quickly plunged the world economy into recession and reshaped social norms and attitudes. Globally, businesses have had to change established assumptions and introduce new models and ways of working. For bp, it has had an adverse impact on our business, including on the demand for our products and on their prices. But the more we understand about the consequences for the global economy – and the inevitable uncertainty it brings – the more convinced we are that our ambition and strategy are taking us in the right direction for bp, for our employees, our shareholders and society. Impact on the economy The global economy is estimated to have contracted 4.3% in 2020, the steepest decline in economic activity since 1946, caused by COVID-19. In advanced economies the recovery from the initial contraction was dampened by resurgences of COVID-19 cases, leading to an annual contraction of 5.4%. Most emerging markets, excluding China, also experienced deep recessions, with growth of -5% in 2020, while in China the economy grew by 2%a. a World Bank Global Economic Prospects, January 2021. Our response As COVID-19 continues to affect communities around the world, we have focused our effort on three priorities. 1 Protecting our people. 2 Supporting communities where we live and work. 3 Strengthening our finances. Our leadership teams were in daily discussions to respond to the conditions in the countries where we operate as the pandemic unfolded. We had a three-tier response model with executive-level, business, country and incident management steering committees. Some examples are given on the next page. The business environment is fundamentally changing. The world is on an unsustainable path and its carbon budget is running out. Energy markets have begun a process of significant, lasting change in response to this – shifting increasingly towards low carbon and renewables. And in 2020 we saw further changes, as COVID-19 spread across the globe.

09 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 In 2020 we set a new target of $25 billion of proceeds between the second half of 2020 and 2025, of which we’ve completed or agreed transactions for over half of this target. This includes the agreed sale of a 20% interest in Oman’s Block 61 and proceeds from the divestments of our petrochemicals business and Alaska interests. We have a deep hopper of potential future divestment options. As we execute this programme, we will continue to be focused on value. Capital expenditure Capital expenditure« for 2020 was $14 billion, around 28% lower than 2019. Organic capital expenditure« for 2020 was $12 billion, in line with the guidance given in April. Liquidity Finance debt was $72.7 billion and net debt« was $38.9 billion at the end of 2020. We are actively managing the profile of our debt portfolio. We issued perpetual hybrid bonds with a US dollar equivalent value of $11.9 billion in June 2020, and we bought back an aggregate US dollar equivalent value of $8 billion of debt in the third quarter of 2020, January 2021 and March 2021. bp had around $44 billion of liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents (net of restricted cash) plus undrawn revolving credit facilities committed credit and bank facilities, at the end of 2020. In April 2020 Moody’s reaffirmed BP p.l.c.’s A1 credit rating and revised its outlook from stable to negative. The short-term P-1 rating was also reaffirmed. In January 2021 S&P revised its outlook on BP p.l.c. from stable to negative and affirmed BP p.l.c.’s long- and short-term corporate credit rating of A-/A-2. From January 2021, Fitch Ratings has provided a solicited long-term corporate credit rating to BP p.l.c. of A with stable outlook. In February 2021, Fitch Ratings assigned BP p.l.c. a short-term corporate credit rating of F1. bp’s financial performance, including cash flows and net debt, has been and will continue to be impacted by the extent and duration of the current market conditions and the effectiveness of the actions that it and others take, including its financial interventions. It is difficult to predict when current supply and demand imbalances will be resolved and what the ultimate impact of COVID-19 will be. See page 22 for more information on capital allocation. We have addressed our response to COVID-19 in further detail throughout this report: See page 63 Our stakeholders. See page 64 How we manage risk. See page 67 Risk factors. See page 87 Workforce engagement. 1 Protecting our people Our first priority is the safety and health of our people. Our people involved in, or supporting, critical operations continued at their normal workplace during the pandemic and we put additional processes in place to help protect them. These included operating robust protocols for health and pre-mobilization checks, PPE, travel and workplace access, social distancing and isolation. Employees who were able to work from home were asked not to come into their workplace and we put business travel restrictions in place. Many office-based workers continue to work from home at the time of publication and are likely to do so for the foreseeable future as ways of working change. We liaised closely with industry peers and other organizations to regularly test our approach on specific safety issues. And we created a global COVID-19 OneMap, providing our businesses with current local COVID-19 risk profiles including rates of infection, vaccines rates and procurement. 2 Supporting communities Providing essential support for the communities where our people live and our businesses operate was a priority throughout our response to COVID-19. We offered support to governments and partners, using our expertise and resources to support the relief effort. The bp Foundation donated $2 million to the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, which supports medical professionals and patients worldwide by providing critical aid and supplies. The fund also helps track and understand the spread of COVID-19 and supports efforts to develop tests, treatments and vaccines. 3 Strengthening our finances The economic consequences of COVID-19 for the world remain uncertain at the time of publication. In response to this uncertainty, we took deliberate steps to strengthen our finances – reinforcing liquidity, rapidly reducing spending and costs, driving our cash balance point lower. Divestment programme We delivered our plans for $15 billion of announced divestments, which commenced at the start of 2019, in June 2020 – a year earlier than expected. In 2020 we supplied more than 10 million litres of free fuel to emergency service vehicles across the UK. We ran programmes during 2020 and 2021 offering free fuel to UK emergency vehicles – including police, fire, blood transportation, emergency NHS ambulances and NHS Trust non-emergency vehicles. Under the programmes, emergency services vehicles issued with either a bp Plus or Allstar fuel card could fill up without charge at bp’s network of 1,200 retail sites across the UK, including charging of electric vehicles through bp pulse.

10 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Oil The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a sharp contraction in oil sector demand and production in 2020. Global oil consumptiona decreased by 8.8mmb/d to 91.2mmb/d for the year (-8.8%) as global lockdown measures reduced mobility and took a toll on economic activity. On the supply side, unprecedented co-ordinated output cuts from OPEC+, coupled with curtailed non-OPEC supply, reduced global oil productiona by 6.6mmb/d to 93.9mmb/d. Dated Brent« prices averaged $41.84/bbl in 2020 – a 35% decrease from 2019 levels and almost 26% below the 2016-18 average. Prices fluctuated during 2020, reaching a peak of almost $70/bbl in January on OPEC+ supply restraints and the decline in Libyan output. Prices hit a low of almost $13/bbl in April as lockdown measures were put in place globally. In the second half of the year prices hovered around the $40-45/bbl range, before hitting $50/bbl in December. Urals prices in North West Europe (Rotterdam) averaged $41.71/bbl in 2020. The discount to dated Brent was $0.13/bbl below 2019 ($1.25/bbl). 8.8% decrease in global oil consumption in 2020 Natural gas Gas spot prices dropped in all three key regional markets in 2020. Henry Hub« prices decreased to $2.08/ mmBtu in 2020 from $2.63/mmBtu in 2019. US gas prices varied substantially during 2020, dropping in the second quarter of 2020 due to the impact of the lockdown, before recovering in the fourth quarter as production declined due to the earlier oil price drop and lower oil and gas drilling activityb. The UK National Balancing Point« hub price also dropped significantly from 34.70 pence per therm in 2019, down to 24.93 pence per therm in 2020, due to a combination of a mild winter 2019/20, global LNG oversupply, demand drop and record-high storage levelsb. Asian spot prices declined from $5.49/mmBtu in 2019, down to $4.39/mmBtu on the back of global LNG oversupply and LNG supply capacity growth, especially in the USc. They recovered in the fourth quarter on the back of strong Asian LNG demand and LNG supply issues. Global gas demand dropped by an estimated 2.5% in 2020, while China’s gas demand continued to grow. Meanwhile, LNG trade increased modestly during 2020b. 2.5% estimated decrease in global gas demand in 2020 Refining marker margin We track the refining margin environment using a global refining marker margin« (RMM)c. COVID-19 significantly impacted the downstream sector during 2020. Weaker demand drove product stocks to record highs. OECD commercial product stocks peaked in August at over 1,650Mbbls, almost 150Mbbls higher than a year ago. Since then stocks have declined but are still above historical levels. In 2020 COVID-19 impacted demand through different channels. During the initial global lockdown period, the drop in demand was concentrated in road and air travel – hitting gasoline and jet fuel the hardest. As more measured domestic social distancing policies evolved, road mobility and hence gasoline demand recovered, while jet demand remained depressed. The broader negative impact on the economy also dampened diesel demand given the close link between commercial and industrial diesel uses and economic activity. The resulting refining margins have, therefore, remained extremely weak since the beginning of the pandemic, with RMM averaging $6.7/bbl in 2020, far lower than the level in 2019 ($13.2/bbl). Moreover, the weak margin environment combined with continued capacity additions in developing markets has prompted a raft of third-party closure announcements. Some industry rationalization is expected given the step change in demand, but this is not likely to be sufficient to see a sustained rebound in margins to pre-COVID-19 levels. $6.7/bbl global RMM average in 2020 a IEA Oil Market Report, January 2021©. b Platts 2020 Review and 2021 Outlook, and IHS Markit: Waterborne LNG Export-Import Data Tables. c The RMM may not be representative of the margin achieved by bp in any period because of bp’s particular refinery configurations and crude and product slates. In addition, the RMM does not include estimates of energy or other variable costs. Energy economics Energy markets continued

The uncertainty is substantial and these scenarios are not predictions of what is likely to happen or what bp would like to happen. Rather they explore the possible implications of different judgements and assumptions concerning the nature of the energy transition. a For more information on Paris-consistent pathways, see page 26. b The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations’ body for assessing the science related to climate change. It is the leading source of data that summarizes the potential pathways to achieve the Paris goals. The IPCC compiles a database of the published results on mitigation pathways from modelling teams around the world. c Ranges show 10th and 90th percentiles of IPCC scenarios. See bp Energy Outlook 2020 for more information. This chart compares the three main scenarios from the bp Energy Outlook 2020: Rapid, Net Zero and Business-as-usual, with the range of scenarios included in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changeb, which were judged to be consistent with meeting the Paris climate goalsc. Scenarios for strategic decision making We have been using scenarios at bp to inform strategy, manage risk and improve decision making for many years. The scenarios we used to inform our new ambition and strategy were based on a collaborative approach between our economists, strategists and our senior management team. Three scenarios to explore the energy transition Rapid One of many possible scenarios that can be considered ‘consistent with Paris’, in line with a ‘well below 2 degrees’ pathwaya. In this scenario emissions from energy use fall by around 70%, with a fall of approximately 80% in the developed world and 65% in the emerging world. Net Zero In which global energy systems emissions fall by 95% by 2050 versus 2018, in line with a ‘1.5 degrees’ pathwaya. Changes in societal actions and behaviours are a key driver in this scenario. Business-as-usual A continuation of recent trends without major change in the pace or direction of policy tightening; this scenario is not ‘consistent with Paris’ and results in a reduction in global energy greenhouse gas emissions of only 10% by 2050 versus 2018. Our Energy Outlook

BP-20201231_G14.JPG
12 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Some scenarios start from today and project forward over a timeframe in which the current structure of the energy system helps to inform the pace and nature of the transition path. Other scenarios start in the distant future, breaking free from the inherent inertia in the energy system (and potentially our thinking), and look back to the present from that new perspective. In thinking about appropriate scenarios to inform our new strategy, we used both approaches. The scenarios chosen to explore the range of uncertainty surrounding the future of the global energy system span a broad range of energy transition paths. Importantly, the scenarios are not predictions of what is likely to happen or what bp would like to happen. Rather they consider the possible implications of different judgements and assumptions and so help to design a strategy which is resilient to the wide range of uncertainty we face. By considering various time horizons, we can identify key milestones or signposts which might emerge over the next five, 10 or 30 years and inform our view of the key sources of uncertainty affecting the global energy system. We actively monitor for changes in the external environment, and refresh or review our scenarios as needed in response to these signals. How we create scenarios We quantify these scenarios in the bp Energy Outlook 2020 using our global energy modelling system. This comprises of a suite of models developed over the past 10 years to help us understand supply and demand dynamics of the global energy system. The modelling framework uses historical data based on the bp Statistical Review of World Energy, IEA energy balances and a range of other energy and non-energy data sets. The model combines supply, end-use demand, and production in intermediate sectors, including power and hydrogen, to create global energy outlooks. Each scenario is determined by a set of key assumptions including population and economic growth, pace of technological change, resource constraints and government policies. Prices are used to balance supply and demand. The modelling techniques used vary by sector and include a combination of econometric modelling, least-cost optimization, adoption curves and consumer choice modelling. The regional coverage varies by sector but at its most aggregated the model produces views for 14 regions, across six sectors, more than 20 energy and technology sources and associated CO2 emissions from each. It produces annual data out to 2050. Scenarios are generated based on our own judgements alongside views from external organizations. For example, population growth from the United Nations, economic growth supported by views from Oxford Economics, resource availability based on Rystad Energy’s global upstream database, power modelling informed by Aurora Energy Research and global system dynamics based on a proprietary TIMES integrated assessment model. All scenarios typically take into account historical evidence, current policies, user judgement and specialist projections. In developing the scenarios, we benchmark our views against scenarios from external organizations including from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPPC) 2019 Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C, IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2020 and IHS Markit’s Energy and Climate Scenarios. How scenarios inform our strategy The scenarios described in the bp Energy Outlook 2020 helped inform bp’s strategy process, alongside a wide range of other analyses and information. As we developed the strategy, the scenarios were reviewed and refined to ensure they remained relevant, for example, they were completely refreshed to account for the possible implications of COVID-19, and they remained challenging for example, by including a scenario in which global emissions from energy reach near zero by 2050. The aim of the scenarios is to aid our understanding of how the pace and nature of the energy transition may affect the global energy system and so help our strategy be robust and resilient to the range of uncertainty we face. Given that, we believe that it is neither useful nor sensible to try to identify one scenario as being more or less likely than another. Energy markets continued In the bp Energy Outlook 2020, COVID-19 is assumed to have a persistent impact on economic activity and energy demand.

Importance of fossil fuels declines The share of fossil fuels in global primary energy falls from around 85% in 2018 to between 65% and 20% by 2050 in the three scenarios. Rapid growth in renewable energy Increases in renewable energy dominate growth in primary energy, with its share increasing from 5% in 2018 to between 20% and 60% by 2050 in the three scenarios. Global energy demand across the scenarios Although the three energy outlook scenarios differ in many respects, some trends are common across them and across the wide range of other analyses and information we refer to. Global energy demand continues to grow, at least for a period, driven by increasing prosperity and living standards in the emerging world, and there are three common trends in how the structure of energy demand changes over time. In addition to the changing structure of energy demand, the scenarios also highlight how global markets may change if and when there is a transition to a lower carbon energy system, with a more diverse energy mix, greater consumer choice, more localized energy markets, and increasing levels of integration and competition.

Market-led growth in the Downstream. Venturing and low carbon across multiple fronts. Modernizing the whole group. In February 2020, we announced our new ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner and to help the world get to net zero. And in August we announced a new strategy to get us there, which builds on the foundations we’ve developed since 2017. See page 48 for more about our sustainability frame. Our strategy is underpinned by our ew s stain bility frame and by advocating for policies that support net zero. Our strategy Focuses on three areas of activity: low carbon electricity and energy, convenience and mobility, and resilient and focused hydrocarbons. Each focus area represents an attractive opportunity in its own right. Taken individually, they are not unique to bp. But we plan to leverage three sources of differentiation to help us amplify value: integrating energy systems, partnering with countries, cities and industries, and driving digital and innovation. An Integrated Energy Company delivering solutions for customers. By following this strategy, we expect bp to be a very different energy company by 2030. Reinventing bp: our strategy

21 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Low carbon electricity and energy We’re teaming up with Equinor to form a new strategic partnership to develop offshore wind projects in the US. We believe we can achieve more together, working to become leaders in the fastest-growing renewables sector and helping the world get to net zero. What we’re doing The partnership includes development of four assets in two existing offshore wind leases on the US East Coast. And we expect to pursue further opportunities for offshore wind in the US. We’re investing $1.1 billion for a 50% share in two leases: Empire Wind and Beacon Wind. Empire Wind, NY, is expected to have 2GW generating capacity, once operational. Beacon Wind, MA, is expected to have 2.4GW generating capacity, once operational. In January 2021, the Empire Wind 2 and Beacon Wind 1 projects were selected to provide New York State with 2.5GW of power – the biggest US offshore wind award to date – adding to the existing commitment to supply 0.8GW. Why it matters Our strategy aims to increase our annual low carbon investment tenfold by 2030 and rapidly grow our developed renewable generating capacity. The partnership will leverage bp’s trading expertise and onshore wind experience with Equinor’s sector-leading track record in offshore wind, and is expected to deliver value for our shareholders and help the world transition to low carbon energy. Why offshore wind? Offshore wind is growing at around 20% a year globally and is recognized as a core part of reducing global emissions. This was bp’s first ever offshore wind venture and marks an important step in the delivery of our strategy to rapidly grow our renewable electricity and energy portfolio. Building on this progress in 2021, bp and Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg AG (EnBW) were selected as the preferred bidder for two major leases in the UK Offshore Wind Round 4, marking our entry into the largest offshore wind power sector in the world. 2 million Together, these assets have the potential to generate power for more than 2 million US homes. Our partnership with Equinor will play a vital role in allowing us to deliver our aim of rapidly scaling up our renewable energy capacity, and in doing so help deliver the energy the world wants and needs.

22 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Reinventing bp – our financial frame and investor proposition Our new financial frame aims to provide a stable foundation for bp, strengthening our balance sheet, and providing a clear approach to capital allocation. And through our disciplined approach to investment, we expect to create the opportunity to significantly increase our investment in low carbon activities in this decade, while also operating a high-quality base business. A coherent approach to capital allocation A clear set of priorities Resilient dividend: We aim to fund a resilient dividend intended to remain fixed at 5.25 cents per ordinary share, per quarter, subject to the board’s discretion. Strong balance sheet: In the near term, we target deleveraging to $35 billion of net debt« and maintaining a strong investment grade credit rating thereafter. Investing at scale in the energy transition: We plan to allocate sufficient capital to advance our energy transition strategy, with this allocation intended to rise once our near-term deleveraging target is achieved. We have a range of sector-specific internal rate of return hurdles for transition and low carbon investments between 10% and 15%. For renewable power, we look for returns of at least 8% to 10% levered. All of this is then optimized to make sure we are considering a sufficiently broad range of economic, strategic and sustainability criteria in the context of risk and enduring sources of competitive advantage. Investing to maximize value in resilient hydrocarbons: We aim to invest appropriately in our resilient and valuable hydrocarbons business to generate sustainable cash flow. We have set stringent hurdle rates for all final investment decisions. A payback of less than 10 years for all investments in upstream oil and refining. A payback of less than 15 years for upstream gas. Share buyback commitment: We are committing to return at least 60% of surplus cash« as share buybacks, having reached $35 billion net debt and subject to maintaining a strong investment grade credit rating. Investment in non-oil and gas As part of our net zero ambition (see page 49), we aim to increase the proportion of investment we make into our non-oil and gas businesses. We plan to increase investment in low carbon from around $750 million in 2020 to $3-4 billion by 2025 and to around $5 billion a year in 2030. Our 2020 capital expenditure« against our aim 5 non-oil and gas activities of around $750 million included a partial acquisition payment for the US offshore wind partnership with Equinor, see page 20, our investments in electrification and advanced mobility, and investment into activities through bp ventures and Launchpad. In 2020 Lightsource bp progressed multiple solar projects, including developments in Texas, Indiana, Colorado and Spain. bp Bunge now has capacity for 1.8 billion litres of ethanol production a year and is able to export over 1,200GWh of electricity to the national grid in Brazil. We expect overall low carbon spend to grow significantly in 2021. Capital expenditure for convenience and mobility grew to $2.2 billion in 2020, weighted towards growth and with a focus on new retail sites«, differentiated fuels and lubricants and next-gen mobility. We formed a joint venture with Reliance in India and plan to scale up to 5,500 retail sites by 2025, see page 24. We made significant progress towards our 2030 aim of more than 70,000 electric vehicle charge points« through the DiDi joint venture in China, investment in ultra-fast electric vehicle charging points in Germany, and bp pulse – the UK’s largest public charging network. Overall, bp transition and low carbon capital expenditure in 2020 was around 20% of the capital mix, and by 2030 we expect it to be as much as 50% of our capital expenditure, of which a significant majority will be low carbon. Our financial frame As a reminder, the CA100+ resolution« requires us to disclose: Our anticipated investment in oil and gas resources and reserves – this is anticipated to be less in 2021 than it was in 2020. Our anticipated investment in other energy sources and technologies, which is anticipated to be significantly greater than 2020 levels, as described above. To reinvent bp and deliver our strategy, we must operate within a resilient financial frame, that combines a strong balance sheet with cash flow generation to support higher investment into transition businesses and compelling shareholder distributions. 1 Resilient dividend 2 Strong balance sheet 3 Investing at scale in the energy transition 4 Investing to maximize value in resilient hydrocarbons 5 Share buyback commitment

26 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Pursuing a strategy that is consistent with the Paris goals What we mean by Paris consistent We aim to be recognized as a leader in transparency for our sector, in the knowledge that investors and other stakeholders are seeking to understand whether companies and their strategies, targets and aims are consistent with the world meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement on Climate Changea (the Paris goals). This is what we refer to as ‘Paris consistency’. We believe the world is on an unsustainable path – the carbon budget is running out – and needs to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions. And we believe that there are a range of global pathways to achieve the Paris goals, with differing implications for regions, industries and sectors, so business strategies need to be flexible. Our approach to determining Paris consistency is based on three key principles. We believe that our strategy satisfies all three principles and therefore the board considers it to be consistent with the Paris goals. 1. Informed by Paris-consistent energy transition scenarios – a company’s strategy should be informed by Paris-consistent scenarios. We see the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as the most authoritative source of information on the evolving science of climate change and we use it and other sources to inform our strategy. The IPCC highlights that there are a range of global pathways by which the world can meet the Paris goals, with differing implications for regions, industries and sectors. For many years to come oil and gas features in the energy mix in the IPCC’s suite of Paris-consistent scenarios, albeit progressively decarbonized and ultimately offset; the exact trajectory for oil and for gas varies from scenario to scenario. bp’s new strategy is informed by all of these considerations. It is designed to drive progressive decarbonization, while remaining flexible and adaptable to the many different potential pathways the energy transition may take, including various Paris-consistent pathways. 2. Contributing to net zero – whether a company’s strategy enables it to make a positive contribution to the world meeting the Paris goals. We believe that bp’s strategy enables us to make just such a contribution. It is designed to deliver value, while advancing bp towards meeting our net zero ambition and helping the world get to net zero too. Together, we believe this sets out a path that is consistent with the Paris goals. There are many different ways in which a company at the heart of the energy sector can make a meaningful contribution – including action on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) measured by emissions metrics like Scope 1, 2 and 3. Paris consistency also includes consideration of a range of other activities, such as technology development, policy advocacy, low carbon collaboration and investments in low carbon. Our strategy seeks to address all of these by reshaping bp’s business around our three focus areas and three sources of differentiation, see page 15. Some ways of contributing are more readily measured by quantitative metrics than others – but all can be important, whether or not they translate into GHG reductions for the company. To illustrate this, in terms of low carbon investment, by 2030 we aim to increase the amount of renewable energy generating capacity we have developed to 50GW, as part of our increased capital expenditure on low carbon businesses. This aim supports the Paris goals by increasing the low carbon options available to energy consumers. However, it does not reduce our Scope 1, 2 or 3 emissions. And it may not result in a decrease in the overall intensity of bp’s marketed products, because that is dependent on the extent to which we market the resulting renewable power, which is a commercial consideration. Additionally, our strategy is underpinned by our aim to more actively advocate for policies that support net zero, including carbon pricing. Helping policy makers to design and put in place low carbon policies can help deliver our strategy and take advantage of the huge opportunities associated with achieving the Paris goals. Well-designed low carbon policies can advance the decarbonization of a whole economy – something potentially of far greater impact than anything a single company can achieve through its own portfolio. 3. Strategic resilience – a Paris-consistent strategy should position the company for success and resilience in a Paris-consistent world – a world that is progressing on one of the many global trajectories considered to be Paris consistent, and ultimately meets the Paris goals. We believe this means having a strategy that’s flexible enough to manage the inherent uncertainty in the range of potential global pathways, including those that can achieve the Paris goals. Our new strategy is designed to provide this flexibility. In setting the strategy, the board and management referred to the range of scenarios set out in the bp Energy Outlook 2020, see page 11. We see huge opportunity in the energy transition, including the Outlook’s ‘Rapid’ and ‘Net Zero’ scenarios, which we believe are two of many possible Paris-consistent pathways for the world. Our strategy also mitigates the risks associated with a scenario such as the Outlook’s ‘Delayed and Disorderly’ transition. As a result, our strategy is designed to be resilient across scenarios, including those that are Paris consistent, but is weighted towards a rapid transition. Reinventing bp – consistency with the Paris goals a Paris Agreement 1 Article 2.1(a) of the Paris Agreement states the goal of ‘Holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change’. 2 Article 4.1 of the Paris Agreement: In order to achieve the long-term temperature goal set out in Article 2, parties aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible, recognizing that peaking will take longer for developing country parties, and to undertake rapid reductions thereafter in accordance with best available science, so as to achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century, on the basis of equity, and in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty.

27 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Responding to increased shareholder interest on Paris consistency In 2019 the board recommended that shareholders support a special resolution requisitioned by Climate Action 100+ (CA100+) on climate change disclosures. The CA100+ resolution passed with more than 99% of the vote. This is the second year we have included responses throughout the annual report. We have adopted a similar approach to the bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2019. The CA100+ resolution, which includes safeguards such as protections for commercially confidential and competitively sensitive information, is on page 341.

Directors’ remuneration report 2020 annual bonus outcome 2021 remuneration policy on page 103 110 124 Portfolio resilience We are managing our portfolio to be resilient to the uncertainties surrounding the energy transition. By 2030 we expect to have a smaller, more resilient and focused oil and gas portfolio. This is supported by our evaluation of each new material capex investment for Paris consistency and our long-term price assumptions, which were reviewed in June 2020. We lowered our price assumptions and extended them to 2050 so that they are now consistent with our long-term time planning horizon, see page 28. We are building a portfolio that is more robust in a low carbon world. We believe that the diversification of our portfolio and decarbonizing our hydrocarbons business will make bp more resilient to Paris-consistent pathways. And this will allow us to continue to redeploy capital to support our strategy to become an Integrated Energy Company – aiming to deploy an appropriate mix of cash flow from hydrocarbons and capital released by divestments into ambitious plans for growth in our low carbon, convenience and mobility businesses, see page 18. Scale and reach Our global footprint and interests in multiple sources of energy provide resilience through exposure to different price environments, and our presence in over 70 countries enables access to new markets. Our track record of creating mutually beneficial strategic partnerships helps our resilience, and we are building new and deeper relationships with governments, cities and corporate customers at a scale that we believe is difficult for others to replicate. Our presence across the energy value chain and our ability to provide integrated energy solutions for our customers position us to succeed in a Paris-consistent world. Targets and aims Our strategy is supported by clear business plans, underpinned by specific short, medium and long-term targets and aims for 2025, 2030 and 2050 or sooner, including: Aiming to be net zero across our entire operations (Scopes 1 and 2). Aiming for the carbon in our upstream oil and gas production (Scope 3) to be net zero. Aiming to cut the life cycle carbon intensity of our marketed products by 50% (which includes the associated Scope 3 emissions). From a 2019 baseline, we aim to increase our annual low carbon investment ten-fold to around $5 billion a year, building out an integrated portfolio of low carbon technologies, including renewables, bioenergy and early positions in hydrogen and carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS). Over the same period, our oil and gas production is expected to reduce by at least 1 million barrels of oil equivalent a day, or 40%, from 2019 levels.

28 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Investment process price assumptions All investments are evaluated against our long-term price assumptions across a range of alternative prices (central, upper and lower) for oil, natural gas and refining margins. In addition, all investment cases above defined thresholds for anticipated annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from operations must estimate those anticipated GHG emissions and include an associated carbon price into the investment economics. All price assumptions place some weight on scenarios in which the transition to a low carbon energy system is sufficiently rapid to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, as well as scenarios in which the transition is not, or may not be, sufficiently rapid. They also place some weight on a range of other factors, which can drive prices, and are not related to the goals of the Paris Agreement. These price ranges do not link to specific scenarios or outcomes, but instead try to capture the range of different possibilities surrounding the future path of the global energy system. The nature of the uncertainty means that these price ranges inevitably reflect considerable judgement. The ranges are reviewed and updated on an annual basis as our understanding and judgement about the energy transition evolves. In addition to consideration of a range of price assumptions, investment cases are asked to present scenarios covering a range of variables, related to the economics of the investment, such as cost, resource, policy changes and schedule, to highlight the robustness of investment cases to a range of other factors. Revising long-term price assumptions Our price assumptions are determined for use in our investment appraisal processes. They are also used to inform decisions about internal planning processes and the impairment testing of assets for financial reporting. What the prices are As part of our strategy development we reviewed our portfolio and capital development plans. That work was informed by bp’s views of the long-term price environment and its balanced investment criteria. Together these create a framework that seeks to ensure investments align with our strategy and add shareholder value. Additionally, with the COVID-19 pandemic continuing throughout 2020, we see it having an enduring impact on the global economy, with demand for energy weaker than expected for a sustained period. We attach increasing weight to the possibility that the aftermath of COVID-19 will accelerate the pace of transition to a lower carbon economy and energy system, as countries seek to ‘build back better’ so their economies are more resilient and sustainable. As a result of all the above, we revised down our long-term price assumptions, and also extended them to 2050 to align with the horizon of our ambition. The next few years will likely see periods of market volatility as demand recovers against a backdrop of reduced levels of investment and we believe we are well positioned to benefit from any near-term increase in oil prices. The role of long-term price assumptions is to look through this near-term volatility and help ensure our future projects are resilient to the longer-term trends affecting our industry. Our revised investment appraisal long-term price assumptions are now an average of around $55/bbl for Brent« and $2.90 per mmBtu for Henry Hub« gas (2020 $ real), from 2021- 2050. We consider these lower long-term price assumptions to be broadly in line with a range of transition paths consistent with the Paris goals. However, they do not correspond to any specific Paris-consistent scenario. We also revised our carbon prices for the period to 2050, and these now include a price of $100/teCO2 in 2030 (2020 $ real). Key investment appraisal assumptions 2021 2025 2030 2040 2050 Brent oil ($/bbl) 50 50 60 60 50 Henry Hub gas ($/mmBtu) 3.00 3.00 3.00 3.00 2.75 RMM« 10 12 12 10 10 Carbon price (US$/tCO2e) 2021 2025 2030 2040 2050 Central case real (2020) 50 50 100 200 250 Impairment testing As a result of the revision of long-term price assumptions used for investment appraisal, we also revised the price assumptions we use in value in-use impairment testing. These two price sets are now aligned. See pages 166-167 for more about oil and natural gas price assumptions used for impairment testing and relating sensitivity testing.

29 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Investment governance and evaluating consistency with the Paris goals Governance bp’s investments fall within a governance framework. This seeks to ensure investments align with our strategy, fall within our prevailing financial frame, and add shareholder value. The governance framework also provides for investments to be assessed consistently and against a range of other outcomes relevant to our strategy, including a range of environmental and sustainability factors. Investments follow an integrated stage-gate process designed to enable us to choose and develop the most attractive investment cases. A balanced set of investment criteria is used, see page 30. This allows for the comparison and prioritization of investments across an increasingly diverse range of business models. The governance framework also specifies that proposed investments are tested, including against carbon prices for projected operational emissions, and are subject to assurance by functions independent of the business before a final investment decision (FID) is taken. See page 88 for more information on bp’s governance framework. Resource commitment meeting For capital investments above defined financial thresholds for organic or inorganic spend, the investment approval is conducted by the executive-level resource commitment meeting (RCM), which is chaired by the chief executive officer. The RCM reviews the merits of each such investment case against a balanced set of criteria and considers any key issues raised in the assurance process. The CA100+ resolution requires bp to disclose how we evaluate the consistency of new material capex investments« with (i) the Paris goals and (ii) a range of other outcomes relevant to bp’s strategy. bp’s evaluation of consistency of such investments with the Paris goals was undertaken by the RCM for new material capex investments sanctioned in 2020, see page 31. bp’s evaluation of an investment’s consistency with ‘a range of other relevant outcomes’ is achieved by considering its merits against bp’s balanced investment criteria as described on page 30. The role of the board The board assesses the impact of portfolio changes, such as strategic acquisitions and the allocation of capital. The board reviews capital investments that are more than $3 billion for resilient hydrocarbons, more than $1 billion for all transition or low carbon investments and, in addition, any significant inorganic acquisition that is exceptional or unique in nature. Reviews investment cases more than $3 billion for resilient hydrocarbons, more than $1 billion for all transition or low carbon investments and any significant inorganic acquisition that is exceptional or unique in nature. bp board Approves investment decisions related to existing and new lines of business above $250 million organic and $25 million inorganic, or which exceeds the relevant EVP financial authority, and for any project considered strategically important such as new market entry.

30 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Balanced investment criteria All group-wide investment cases are required to set out the investment merits and are considered against a set of balanced criteria. This standardized approach creates a level playing field for decision making and allows portfolio-wide comparisons of investment cases. Further, the decision to endorse an investment based on the information provided represents bp’s evaluation that the investment is considered consistent with a range of other outcomes, relevant to bp’s strategy. In 2020 the standardized approach for investment cases was reviewed to place a greater focus on our strategy, sustainability and integration value. These changes, and associated nomenclature, ensure our investment framework is consistent with our strategy. When taking investment decisions, we consider six factors, although our decisions may also take other factors into account as appropriate. Strategic alignment For all investment cases, we consider whether the investment supports delivery of our strategy, see page 18. And if it involves distinctive capability that bp has, or intends to develop, and whether it adds to an existing ‘scale’ business within the portfolio or could help us create one. Safety and risks Investment cases are required to describe risks unique to the project which have a significantly higher probability than usual or have a significantly greater impact (relative to the size of the project) were they to occur. Sustainability All investment cases are considered against appropriate environmental and sustainability considerations, and sustainability measures, including carbon. Investment cases above defined thresholds for anticipated annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from operations must estimate those anticipated GHG emissions and include an associated carbon price in the investment economics. Investment economics We consider investment economics against a range of measures including internal rate of return, net present value, discounted payback, profitability index and investment efficiency, using a set of scenarios for commodity prices, margins and carbon prices (where relevant). Investments are considered against stringent differentiated hurdle rates. 1. A payback of less than 10 years for all investments in upstream oil, refining and for fuels retail in mature markets; together with an internal rate of return hurdle. 2. A payback of less than 15 years for upstream gas; together with an internal rate of return hurdle. 3. We have a range of sector-specific internal rates of returns of between 10% and 15%. And finally, for renewable power we look for returns of at least 8% to 10% levered. Volatility and rateability Economic metrics are also considered in the context of the cash flow certainty of the investment assumptions. For example, a high-return deepwater tieback will have less certain and more volatile (oil-price linked) cash flows than a lower return but more certain renewable power project with a long-term power purchase agreement (and a fixed power price). Optionality and integration All investment cases are requested to quantify the strategic optionality that might be accessed through follow-on activity and regular cross-entity forums enable integration opportunities to be identified. For example, an offshore wind development may provide additional optionality for power offtake and integration into our digital platforms.

31 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Evaluation process When evaluating the consistency of our 2020 new material capex investments« with the Paris goals, a focus of the evaluation criteria was on their competitiveness and financial robustness as the prices of different forms of energy and products adjust in response to the changing market environment. For new material capex investment decisions taken from September 2020, the evaluation used our revised central price assumptions of around $55/bbl for Brent« and $2.90 per mmBtu for Henry Hub« gas (2020 $ real), from 2021-2050. It also used our revised central carbon price assumptions, applied to the anticipated operational greenhouse gas emissions associated with the investment, for the period to 2050. These now include a price of $100/teCO2 in 2030 (2020 $ real), see page 28. Our resource commitment meeting (RCM) evaluates consistency with the Paris goals by considering them against a balanced set of investment criteria, see page 30. For each of the investment criteria, a qualitative explanation of each business case was considered and presented to the RCM or relevant investment committee, as per the description on page 29. Our new material capex investments are intended to support the delivery of bp’s strategy. In-scope investments are defined as: New: investment in a new project or extension of an existing project/asset, or share of an entity that is new to bp or a substantial increase in bp’s share. Material: more than $250 million capital investment. Capital expenditure: includes organic and inorganic. 2020 was an exceptional year, and one aspect of bp’s response was to reduce our planned capital expenditure, see page 9. As a result, there were only three new material capex investments – unusually low, and less than half the number in 2019. So bp decided to voluntarily conduct and disclose Paris-consistency evaluations for the four largest new capex investments which fell below our materiality threshold. We do not expect to disclose such evaluations of non- material investments in future years. To maintain consistency of approach, the conduct of these evaluations was delegated to a subset of the RCM. Quantitative evaluations Two quantitative guide levels were considered to inform the evaluation of Paris consistency. As stated in the bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2019, we continue to develop our approach and in 2020 we made a number of improvements, including benchmarking investment economics against our agreed economic investment hurdles; evaluating investments on the revised price assumptions; and setting a lower carbon intensity guide. As our approach matures with experience, we may continue to adjust or supplement these. Investment economics The calculation of internal rate of return (IRR) and discounted payback uses the ‘central-price’ case for commodity prices and margins and the ‘central’ carbon price. Economic indicators are then benchmarked against the economic hurdles, see page 30. As a guide, we would normally target a minimum threshold of greater than 1.0x on this basis. For clarity, Paris-consistency evaluations for investment decisions made before September 2020 were measured against the previous long-term price assumptions and against the profitability index (PI) measure. For details, see the bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2019, page 22. Environment and sustainability Where appropriate, we measure the operational carbon intensity« of the investment relative to that of the 2020 portfolio average for the segment or the related business activity (upstream, refining, offshore wind). As a guide, we would normally target a ratio of less than 100%, meaning that the investment is expected to reduce the average operational carbon intensity of that portfolio. The potential impact of new material capex investments on bp’s greenhouse gas emission targets is a further consideration. There may be instances when new material capex investments are evaluated as consistent with the Paris goals despite either or both of these guide levels not being met.

32 Investment economics Against economic hurdles Sustainability Carbon intensity (%) The respective rankings of investment performance against each of the quantitative guide levels Guide Guide >$250 million Voluntary disclosures >$250 million Voluntary disclosures 1 The 2020 investments have been ranked against the two guides (as applicable to the evaluation of each investment). As a result, they are ordered differently in each graph above. 2 For one of the investments the operational carbon intensity was not calculated due to the nature of these investments. The projected operational carbon intensity of renewable power businesses is not considered necessary to quantify for these purposes as the relevant operational emissions would not be expected to be significant. bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Evaluation outcome As shown in the chart, each of the new material capex investments approved in 2020 met the evaluation guides, applicable to the type of investment at the time that the investment decision was made. Each of these investments was evaluated to be consistent with the Paris goals. Similarly, the four additional (non-material) new capex investments in 2020, referred to on page 33, also met the evaluation guides, with the exception of one investment not meeting the guide level for carbon intensity. This investment was evaluated to be consistent with the Paris goals, based on the role liquefied natural gas (LNG) plays in the energy transition, especially in the Asia Pacific region in which the project is located, and the strength of the investment economics – with a short payback period, delivering short-cycle cash returns and reducing the timeframe during which the investment would be exposed to uncertainties associated with Paris-consistent pathways. In addition, when this investment is benchmarked on the carbon intensity measure against other LNG projects, instead of the upstream portfolio average, it benchmarks towards the low end of the range. Each of the four additional capex investments was evaluated to be consistent with the Paris goals. Reinventing bp – our investment process

35 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Resilient and focused hydrocarbons In July 2020, we began production at our major project Atlantis Phase 3 in the US Gulf of Mexico safely and on time, despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, we have added a second well and are on schedule to start a third well by April 2021. Why it’s important Atlantis Phase 3 demonstrates our strategic shift towards resilient and focused hydrocarbons for value creation. The project uses world-class existing infrastructure located in the Atlantis field to increase production at higher margin. Drilling completions and offshore construction were executed with zero personal injuries. Harnessing digital and innovation The team used advanced seismic imaging expertise to identify the ‘field within a field’ and designed the new subsea system to access and deliver these barrels. What’s involved? The project includes a subsea production system for eight new wells tied into Atlantis, which is designed to boost the platform’s production. Building on our track record The start-up of this project marks an important milestone for our resilient and focused hydrocarbons businesses under our new strategy. We started up three other major projects« during 2020: Ghazeer in Oman, Vorlich in the UK North Sea and KG D6 R Cluster in India. We’re on track to deliver on our target since 2016 of 900mboe/d from new major projects by the end of 2021, with 700mboe/d of production capacity online by the end of 2020. 400,000 hours worked offshore Zero injuries Atlantis Phase 3 is a great example of how oil and gas projects support bp’s strategy by focusing our efforts in the basins we know best and close to existing infrastructure.

Remuneration To help align the focus of our board and executive management with the interests of our shareholders, certain measures are used for executive remuneration. Key REM Used for 2020 remuneration policy See page 103 for more information. Measuring our progress We assess our performance across a wide range of measures and indicators that are consistent with our strategy and investor proposition. Our key performance indicators (KPIs) provide a balanced set of metrics that give emphasis to both financial and non-financial measures. These help the board and leadership team assess performance against our strategic priorities and business plans. Our leadership team uses these measures to evaluate operating performance and make financial, strategic and operating decisions. Sustainable operations Tier 1 and 2 process safety eventsa We track tier 1 and tier 2 events and report the aggregated outcome. Tier 1 events are losses of primary containment from a process of greatest consequence, or causing harm to a member of the workforce, damage to equipment from a fire or explosion, a community impact or exceeding defined quantities. Tier 2 events are those of lesser consequence. Safety Reported recordable injury frequencya Reported recordable injury frequency (RIF) measures the number of reported work-related employee and contractor incidents that result in a fatality or injury per 200,000 hours worked. 2020 performance We had fewer tier 1 and tier 2 process safety events compared with 2019. This may in part be a consequence of decreased activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, but we believe that other, more intentional, factors are also involved, such as our deepening focus on safety leadership, human performance, and the effectiveness of core safety processes, such as permit-to-work. 2020 performance We have seen a decrease in RIF compared with 2019 and maintain our focus to drive zero incidents. Since 2015, RIF rates have decreased around 46%. a This represents reported incidents occurring within bp’s operational HSSE reporting boundary. That boundary includes bp’s own operated facilities and certain other locations or situations. Greenhouse gas emissions (MtCO2e) We provide data on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions material to our business on a carbon dioxide-equivalent basis. This particular KPI comprises Scope 1 (direct) emissions of CO2 and methane, for 100% emissions from subsidiaries« and the percentage of emissions equivalent to our share of joint arrangements« and associates«, other than bp’s share of Rosneft. Sustainable GHG emissions reductions (MtCO2e) This measure includes actions taken by our businesses to improve energy efficiency and reduce methane emissions and flaring – all leading to ongoing, quantifiable GHG reductions. These refer to the GHG emissions on an operational control basisb that would have occurred had we not made the change i.e. they could be absolute in nature or underlying. Since 2019, progress against this target is used as a factor in determining bonuses for eligible employeesc, including executives. 2020 performance Our Scope 1 (direct) equity share emissions decreased by 4.7MtCO2e to 41.3MtCO2e in 2020 (46.0MtCO2e in 2019). The reduction was associated with a number of factors such as divestments, including of our Alaska operations, sustainable emissions reductions, turnarounds, and the impact of COVID-19 on demand. 2020 performance We delivered 1.0Mte of sustainable emissions reductions (SERs) from reduction projects such as flaring in Angola, reduction in water pump fuel gas usage in AGT and in lower emissions from power import at our Gelsenkirchen refinery. b Operational control data comprises 100% of emissions from activities that are operated by bp. c This figure was around 37,000 in February 2020. It is now around 28,600 (as at 10 March 2021) and has been revised in line with restructuring as part of reinvent bp and reflects a lower headcount overall.

This applies to methane emissions within our operational control boundary, where we have the highest degree of control. Methane emissions from non-producing activities, such as exploration drilling, are excluded. In 2020 we set an intensity target of 0.20% by 2025, using a measurement approach. 2020 performance Our methane intensity in 2020 was 0.12%, an improvement from 0.14% in 2019. 2020 performance Both measures increased. As a global business we are committed to increasing the diversity of our workforce and leadership. d Relates to bp employees. Diversity and inclusiond (%) Each year we report the percentage of women and individuals from countries other than the UK and the US among bp’s group leaders. Upstream plant reliability (%) bp-operated upstream plant reliability is calculated taking 100% less the ratio of total unplanned plant deferrals divided by installed production capacity. Unplanned plant deferrals are associated with the topside plant and, where applicable, the subsea equipment (excluding wells and reservoir). Unplanned plant deferrals include breakdowns, which does not include Gulf of Mexico weather-related downtime. 2020 performance Operations were strong in 2020 with plant reliability remaining at 94%. Sustainable operations Downstream refining availability (%) Refining availability represents Solomon Associates’ operational availability for bp-operated refineries. The measure shows the percentage of the year that a unit is available for processing after deducting the time spent on turnaround activity and all mechanical, process and regulatory downtime. Refining availability is an important indicator of the operational performance of our downstream businesses. 2020 performance Refining availability was higher, reflecting continued strong operational performance in our portfolio. This performance is underpinned by our global reliability programmes. Upstream unit production costs ($/boe) The upstream unit production cost is calculated as production cost divided by units of production. Production cost does not include ad valorem and severance taxes. Units of production are barrels for liquids and thousands of cubic feet for gas. Amounts disclosed are for bp subsidiaries only and do not include bp’s share of equity-accounted entities. 2020 performance Lower production costs compared with 2019 were mainly due to improved efficiency in our operations and divestment impacts. Major project delivery We monitor the progress of our major projects to gauge whether we are delivering our core pipeline of projects under construction on time. Projects take many years to complete, requiring differing amounts of resource, so a smooth or increasing trend should not be anticipated. Major projects are defined as those with a bp net investment of at least $250 million, or considered to be of strategic importance to bp, or of a high degree of complexity. 2020 performance We started up four major projects in India, Oman, the UK and US.

We are working to identify areas for improvement. Scores prior to 2017 are based on questions on priorities set out in 2012, so the numbers are not directly comparable. Underlying replacement cost profit ($ billion) Underlying RC profit« is a useful measure for investors because it is one of the profitability measures bp management uses to assess performance. It assists management in understanding the underlying trends in operational performance on a comparable year- on-year basis. It reflects the replacement cost of inventories sold in the period and is arrived at by excluding inventory holding gains and losses« from profit or loss. Adjustments are also made for non- operating items« and fair value accounting effects«. Operating cash flow ($ billion) Operating cash flow is net cash flow provided by operating activities, as reported in the group cash flow statement. Operating activities are the principal revenue-generating activities of the group and other activities that are not investing or financing activities. Financial performance Return on average capital employed (%) Return on average capital employed« (non-GAAP) gives an indication of a company’s capital efficiency, dividing the underlying RC profit after adding back net interest by average capital employed, excluding cash and goodwill. See page 349 for more information including the nearest equivalent GAAP data. Total shareholder return (%) Total shareholder return (TSR) represents the change in value of a bp shareholding over a calendar year. It assumes that dividends are reinvested to purchase additional shares at the closing price on the ex-dividend date. 2020 performance 2020 underlying RC loss was driven by lower oil and gas prices, significant exploration write-offs and refining margins and depressed demand. Loss for the year attributable to bp shareholders included significant impairments and exploration write-offs. See Financial statements – Notes 4 and 8 for more information. 2020 performance Operating cash flow was lower than 2019, reflecting lower oil and gas realizations, lower refining margins and fuels volumes partly offset by lower tax payments and lower working capital« build. 2020 performance The decrease reflects loss due to the impact of lower oil and gas prices and significant weaker refining margin and depressed demand. 2020 performance Reduced TSR reflects a reduction in the share price and lower dividend in 2020.

Adjusting for inventory holding losses, replacement cost (RC) loss was $18.1 billion, compared with a profit of $3.5 billion in 2019. After adjusting RC loss for a net charge for non-operating items of $12.2 billion and net adverse fair value accounting effects of $0.2 billion (both on a post-tax basis), underlying RC loss for the year ended 31 December 2020 was $5.7 billion. The result reflected lower oil and gas prices, significant exploration write-offs and lower refining margins and depressed demand. The profit for the year ended 31 December 2019 attributable to bp shareholders was $4.0 billion, excluding inventory holding gains, RC profit was $3.5 billion. After adjusting RC profit for a net charge for non-operating items of $7.2 billion and net favourable fair value accounting effects of $0.7 billion (both on a post-tax basis), underlying RC profit for the year ended 31 December 2019 was $10.0 billion, a decrease of $2.7 billion compared with 2018. The decrease was predominantly due to lower oil and gas prices in the Upstream segment and a significantly weaker environment in the Downstream segment. Non-operating items In 2020 the net charge for non-operating items was $12.2 billion, mainly related to impairment charges, a gain on the disposal of our petrochemicals business, certain exploration write-offs (reported within the ‘other’ category), and restructuring costs associated with the reinvent bp programme. The impairment charges mainly relate to producing assets and principally arose as a result of changes to the group’s oil and gas price assumptions. Impairment charges also include amounts relating to the disposal of the group’s interests in its Alaska business. For more information For a discussion of bp’s financial and operating performance for the year ending 31 December 2018, see bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2019, pages 36-38 and 50-65 and bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2018, pages 19-39.

BP-20201231_G45.JPG
43 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 In 2019 the net charge was $7.2 billion, mainly related to impairment charges, principally resulting from the announcements to dispose of certain assets in the US and reclassification of accumulated foreign exchange losses from reserves to the income statement on the formation of the bp Bunge Bioenergia joint venture«. See pages 304 and 305 for more information on non-operating items and fair value accounting effects. Taxation The credit for corporate income taxes was $4,159 million in 2020 compared with a charge of $3,964 million in 2019. The decrease mainly reflects the loss in 2020. The effective tax rate (ETR) on the loss for the year in 2020 was impacted by the impairment charges and exploration write-offs. The ETRs for 2020 and 2019 were also impacted by various other one-off items. Adjusting for inventory holding impacts, non-operating items and fair value accounting effects, the underlying ETR in 2020 was lower than in 2019, mainly reflecting the exploration write-offs with a limited deferred tax benefit and the reassessment of deferred tax asset recognition. The underlying ETR for 2021 is expected to be higher than 40% but is sensitive to the impact that volatility in the current environment may have on the geographical mix of the group’s profits and losses.

44 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Reporting The group’s organizational structure reflects the various activities in which bp is engaged. At 31 December 2020, bp reported Upstream, Downstream, Rosneft and Other businesses and corporate. Upstream’s activities included oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production; midstream transportation, storage and processing; and the marketing and trading of natural gas, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), together with power and natural gas liquids (NGLs). For further details of Upstream’s activities during the year see page 308. Downstream’s activities covered convenience and mobility offers, including next-gen mobility to our customers. It also included the refining, manufacturing, marketing, transportation, and supply and trading of crude oil, petroleum, lubricants and petrochemicals products. The Rosneft segment result includes equity- accounted earnings arising from bp’s interest in Rosneft.

45 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Upstream Sales and other operating revenues for 2020 were lower due to lower liquids and gas realizations, lower gas marketing and trading revenues and were further impacted by lower sales volumes. RC loss before interest and tax for the segment included a net non-operating charge of $15,768 million. This primarily relates to impairments associated with revisions to the long-term price assumptions. See Financial statements – Note 5 for further information. Fair value accounting effects had an adverse impact of $738 million relative to management’s view of performance. The 2019 result included a net non-operating charge of $6,947 million, primarily related to impairment charges arising from disposal transactions. Fair value accounting effects had a favourable impact of $706 million relative to management’s view of performance. After adjusting for non-operating items and fair value accounting effects, the underlying RC result before interest and tax was lower in 2020 compared with 2019. This primarily reflected lower liquids and gas realizations and the impact of writing down certain exploration intangible carrying values. Downstream Sales and other operating revenues in 2020 were lower than in 2019, mainly due to lower crude and product prices and the demand impact of COVID-19. RC profit before interest and tax for 2020 included a net non-operating gain of $479 million. The gain reflected a profit of $2.3 billion on the sale of our petrochemicals business, which was partially offset by restructuring costs and impairments. In addition, fair value accounting effects for 2020 had an adverse impact of $149 million, compared with a favourable impact of $160 million in 2019. After adjusting for non-operating items and fair value accounting effects, underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the year was $3,088 million. The fuels business reported a lower underlying RC profit before interest and tax compared with 2019, due to an exceptionally weak refining environment, with COVID-19 restrictions impacting refining utilization and fuel volumes. The 2020 result also reflects a higher contribution from supply and trading. Our fuels marketing business demonstrated continued resilience, delivering significant profit in 2020, despite COVID-19 – which adversely impacted retail fuel and aviation volumes by 14% and 50% respectively. Refining loss in 2020 reflects the continued impact of historically low industry margins. Although refining availability« was strong at 96%, utilization was around 6% lower than 2019, due to the impact of COVID-19 on demand. These factors were partially offset by a lower level of turnaround activity and lower costs. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we announced plans to cease production at our Kwinana refinery and convert it to an import terminal, helping secure ongoing fuel supply for Western Australia. We continued to redefine convenience in 2020, delivering a 6% growth in convenience gross margin«. We also expanded our retail network by more than 1,400 sites, to a total of 20,300, including more than 1,900 strategic convenience sites«. And we completed the formation of Jio-bp, our Indian joint venture with Reliance, helping more than double the number of retail sites in growth markets«, see page 24. We also progressed our electrification agenda, growing our network to 10,100 bp and joint venture operated electric vehicle charge points«, see Our strategy on page 15. The lubricants business reported a lower underlying RC profit before interest and tax compared with 2019 and this reflected significant COVID-19 demand impacts, with volumes 15% lower for the year. We continued to expand our service offer in 2020, growing the number of Castrol branded independent workshops by more than 4,000 to over 28,000 globally. The petrochemicals business reported a lower underlying RC profit before interest and tax compared with 2019, reflecting the impact of COVID-19 on demand and a significantly weaker margin environment. In December we completed the divestment of bp’s petrochemicals business to INEOS for a total consideration of $5 billion. Final payments, totalling $1 billion, were received in February 2021. For more information see Additional information for Downstream on page 318. Rosneft RC loss before interest and tax for 2020 and RC profit before interest and tax for 2019 for the segment included a non-operating charge of $205 million for 2020 and $103 million for 2019. After adjusting for non-operating items, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax in 2020 primarily reflected lower oil prices and unfavourable foreign exchange and adverse duty lag effects compared with 2019 underlying profit. Financial and operating performance for 2020 also reflected the increased average economic interest that bp holds in Rosneft as a result of Rosneft’s share buyback programme and the transaction to sell Rosneft’s business in Venezuela in exchange for its own shares, which completed in April 2020. For more information see Additional information for Rosneft on page 320. Other businesses and corporate RC loss before interest and tax for the year ended 31 December 2020 was $683 million (2019 $2,771 million). The 2020 result included a net charge for non-operating items of $318 million, primarily relating to Gulf of Mexico oil spill related costs of $255 million and restructuring costs, partly offset by a gain on disposal (non-operating items in 2019 $1,491 million). In addition, fair value accounting effects had a favourable impact of $675 million. After adjusting for non-operating items and fair value accounting effects, the underlying RC loss before interest and tax for the year ended 31 December 2020 was $1,040 million (2019 $1,280 million). This result mainly reflected an uplift in valuation of a venture investment of $284 million. Outlook for 2021 From the oil supply side, limited growth from non-OPEC+ countries coupled with active market management from OPEC+ means that for 2021 we anticipate a normalization of the currently high inventory levels. Oil demand is anticipated to recover in 2021. The speed and degree of the rebound depends on governments’ policies and individuals’ self-imposed actions as vaccine distribution proceeds.

BP-20201231_G48.JPG
46 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Oil prices have risen since the end of October, supported by vaccine rollout programmes and continued active supply management by OPEC+ countries. Prices are expected to remain subject to the decisions of OPEC+, confidence in efforts to manage the rollout of vaccination and further virus control measures. We expect the US gas market to tighten in 2021 as supply declines and demand for LNG exports recovers. The current tightness on global LNG markets and higher US gas prices will lift other regional gas prices. US gas markets are likely to benefit from lower production and a recovery in international LNG demand driven by demand in Asia. In Downstream we expect the outlook for the first part of the year to remain challenged due to COVID-19, but to improve. While COVID-19 has had material impacts at the start of the year, with increased restrictions resulting in lower product demand, we expect this uncertainty to improve subject to the successful rollout of vaccination and virus control measures. Industry refining margins and utilization continue to remain restrained by uncertainty about the pace of demand recovery. The weak margin environment combined with continued capacity additions in developing markets has prompted a raft of third-party closure announcements. However, these closures are unlikely to be sufficient to see a sustained rebound in margins to pre-COVID levels in 2021. Full-year 2021 underlying production« is expected to be slightly higher than 2020 due to the ramp-up of major projects«, primarily in gas regions, partly offset by the impacts of reduced capital investment and decline in lower-margin gas assets. Reported production is expected to be lower due to the impact of the ongoing divestment programme. Other businesses and corporate charges for 2021, excluding non-operating items, fair value accounting effects and foreign exchange volatility impact, are expected to be $1.2-1.4 billion although the quarterly charge may vary quarter to quarter. Operating cash flow Operating cash flow for the year ended 31 December 2020 was $12.2 billion, $13.6 billion lower than 2019. Operating cash flow in 2020 reflects $1.8 billion of pre-tax cash outflows related to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Compared with 2019, operating cash flows in 2020 reflected lower oil and gas realizations, lower refining margins and lower fuels volumes partly offset by lower tax payments and lower working capital« build. Movements in working capital adversely impacted cash flow in the year by $0.1 billion, including an adverse impact on working capital from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill of $1.6 billion. Other working capital effects, principally a decrease in inventory and other current and non-current assets partially offset by a decrease in other current and non-current liabilities, had a favourable effect of $1.5 billion. bp actively manages its working capital balances to optimize and reduce volatility in cash flow. Operating cash flow for the year ended 31 December 2019 was $25.8 billion, $2.9 billion higher than 2018. Operating cash flow in 2019 reflected $2.7 billion of pre-tax cash outflows related to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Compared with 2018, operating cash flows in 2019 also reflected the favourable effect of an estimated $2.0 billion of lease payments being classified as financing cash flows from 1 January 2019 following the implementation of IFRS 16. Movements in working capital adversely impacted cash flow in the year by $2.9 billion, including an adverse impact on working capital from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill of $2.6 billion.

47 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Net cash used in investing activities Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended 31 December 2020 decreased by $9.1 billion compared with 2019. The decrease mainly reflected lower capital expenditure, particularly due to payments of $3.5 billion in 2019 for the acquisition of unconventional onshore US oil and gas assets from BHP, and $3.9 billion of disposal proceeds from the petrochemicals divestment. Total capital expenditure for 2020 was $14.1 billion (2019 $19.4 billion), of which organic capital expenditure was $12.0 billion (2019 $15.2 billion) in line with the guidance given in April. Sources of funding are fungible, but the majority of the group’s funding requirements for new investment comes from cash generated by existing operations. We expect 2021 total capital expenditure, including organic capital expenditure, to be around $13 billion. Total divestment and other proceeds for 2020 amounted to $6.6 billion, including $3.9 billion of proceeds from the petrochemicals divestment and $1.1 billion other proceeds. Other proceeds represented a loan repayment relating to the TANAP pipeline refinancing; and proceeds in relation to the sale of interests in bp’s retail property portfolio in the UK and New Zealand. Total divestment and other proceeds for 2019 amounted to $2.8 billion, including $0.6 billion received in relation to the sale of an interest in bp’s retail property portfolio in Australia. The proceeds from the UK, New Zealand and Australia property transactions are reported within financing activities in the group cash flow statement. bp has completed or agreed transactions for over half of its target of $25 billion in proceeds by 2025. bp expects proceeds from divestments and other disposals of $4-6 billion in 2021, weighted towards the second half. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended 31 December 2020 was $4.0 billion, compared with net cash used of $8.8 billion in 2019. This was mainly due to the issue of perpetual hybrid bonds with a US$ equivalent value of $11.9 billion. Total dividends distributed to shareholders in 2020 were 31.5 cents per share, 9.5 cents lower than 2019. This amounted to a total distribution to shareholders of $6.3 billion in 2020. In 2019 the total distribution to shareholders was $8.3 billion, of which shareholders elected to receive $1.4 billion in shares under the scrip dividend programme. The board decided not to offer a scrip dividend alternative in respect of the 2020 dividends. Debt Finance debt at the end of 2020 increased by $4.9 billion from the end of 2019. The finance debt ratio at the end of 2020 increased to 45.9% from 40.2% at the end of 2019. Net debt at the end of 2020 decreased by $6.5 billion from the 2019 year-end position. Gearing at the end of 2020 increased to 31.3% from 31.1%, reflecting significant impairments and exploration write- offs, offset by the hybrid bond issue in June 2020. Net debt and gearing are non-GAAP measures. See Financial statements – Notes 26 and 27 for further information on finance debt and net debt.

Group reserves and production Total hydrocarbon proved reserves at 31 December 2020, on an oil equivalent basis including equity-accounted entities, decreased by 7% compared with 31 December 2019. Natural gas represented about 41% (47% for subsidiaries and 36% for equity-accounted entities) of these reserves. The change includes a net decrease from acquisitions and disposals of 1,069mmboe (decrease of 1,072mmboe within our subsidiaries and increase of 3mmboe within our equity-accounted entities). Acquisition and divestment activity occurred in our equity-accounted entities in Russia, and divestment activity in our subsidiaries in the US including Alaska. Total hydrocarbon production for the group was 8% lower compared with 2019. The decrease comprised an 11% decrease (6% decrease for liquids and 16% decrease for gas) for subsidiaries and a 2% decrease (4% decrease for liquids and 2% increase for gas) for equity-accounted entities.

And to help the world get to net zero. This ambition is supported by 10 aims: five to help us become a net zero company, and five to help the world meet net zero. Taken collectively, these set out a path that we believe is consistent with the Paris goals. What we mean by net zero When we talk about helping the world get to net zero we mean achieving a balance between sources of anthropogenic emissions and removal by sinks of greenhouse gases, as set out in Article 4.1 of the Paris Agreementf. When talking about bp becoming a net zero company by 2050, or sooner, in the context of our new ambition and aims 1 and 2, this means achieving a balance between (a) the relevant Scope 1 and 2 emissions associated with our operations (aim 1), or Scope 3 emissions associated with carbon in bp’s net share of production of oil and gas excluding Rosneft (aim 2), and (b) the total of applicable deductions from activities such as sinks, for example carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) and land carbon projects, which we allow for in our methodology. a Reductions against the 2019 baseline. b The baseline year for our aims 1, 2 and 3 is 2019. Following publication of the bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2019, some data improvements related to the reported 2019 figures for aims 2 and 3 were identified. Although these are not considered to be material, for each of aims 2 and 3 the 2019 figure has been adjusted. c The 2020 methane intensity is calculated using existing methodology and, while it reflects progress in reducing methane emissions, will not directly correlate with progress towards delivering the 2025 target under aim 4. d We aim to have this in place by end of 2023. e Aim 5 non-oil and gas activities included a partial acquisition payment for the US offshore wind partnership with Equinor, our investments in electrification and advanced mobility, and investment into activities through bp ventures and Launchpad. f Article 4.1 of the Paris Agreement: In order to achieve the long-term temperature goal set out in Article 2, Parties aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible, recognizing that peaking will take longer for developing country parties, and to undertake rapid reductions thereafter in accordance with best available science, so as to achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century, on the basis of equity, and in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty. g See ghgprotocol.org for the full list of categories. Our aim 1 is to be net zero across our entire operations on an absolute basis by 2050 or sooner. This aim relates to our Scope 1 (from running the assets within our operational control boundary) and Scope 2 (associated with producing the electricity, heating and cooling that is bought in to run those operations) GHG emissions. Our performance in 2020 Our combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, covered by aim 1, decreased by 16% from 54.4MteCO2e in 2019 to 45.5MteCO2e in 2020. Scope 1 (direct) emissions covered by aim 1 decreased by 15% to 41.7MteCO2e in 2020, from 49.2MteCO2e in 2019. Of those Scope 1 emissions, 39.8MteCO2e were from CO2 and 1.9MteCO2e from methane. Scope 2 (indirect) emissions decreased by 1.4MteCO2e, to 3.8Mte CO2e, a 27% reduction compared to 2019. Decreases resulted from SERs, reduced energy requirement following COVID-19 demand reduction and also include a 1MteCO2e reduction in reported emissions from our Whiting refinery, which in 2020 put an agreement in place to purchase electricity from our Whiting clean energy facility. Our aim 2 is to be net zero on an absolute basis across the carbon in our upstream oil and gas production« by 2050 or sooner. This is our Scope 3 aim and is on a bp equity share basis excluding Rosneft. Emissions are broadly equivalent to the GHG Protocol, Scope 3, category 11g, with the specific scope of upstream production volumes. Our performance in 2020 The estimated emissions from the carbon in our Upstream oil and gas production were equivalent to 328MteCO2e in 2020, a reduction of approximately 9% compared to 361MteCO2eb in 2019.

This is our key metric for tracking annual reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from energy efficiency savings and direct GHG emissions. We set annual internal targets for the delivery of SERs across bp. In 2020 we delivered 1MteCO2e of SERs. These included reductions in flaring, direct methane emissions and energy efficiency savings. For example, our operations in the AGT region reduced fuel use for water injection pumps through energy efficiency optimization resulting in a 55kteCO2e reduction of Scope 1 emissions. Further SERs include those delivered by our US onshore operations, bpx energy of over 245kteCO2e – driving operational efficiencies and substantively reducing our methane emissions profile. Our assets in the Permian region delivered 94kteCO2e of SERs. The largest of these projects was construction and delivery of a centralized facility and electrification of certain operations combined with use of renewable electricity.

The reduction was associated with a number of factors such as divestments, including of our Alaska operations, turnarounds, and the impact of COVID-19 on demand. 2020 2019 2018 Scope 1 (direct) emissions 41.3 46.0 46.5 Scope 2 (indirect) emissions 4.2 5.7 5.7 Total 45.5 51.7 52.2 a The baseline year for our aims 1, 2 and 3 is 2019. Following publication of the bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2019, some data improvements related to the reported 2019 figures for aims 2 and 3 were identified. Although these are not considered to be material, for each of aims 2 and 3 the 2019 figure has been adjusted. b Our approach to reporting GHG emissions broadly follows the IPIECA/API/IOGP Petroleum Industry Guidelines for Reporting GHG Emissions. We calculate CO2 emissions based on the fuel consumption and fuel properties for major sources. We report CO2 and methane. We do not include nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride as they are not material to our operations and it is not practical to collect this data. c Operational control data comprises 100% of emissions from activities operated by bp, going beyond the IPIECA guidelines by including emissions from certain other activities such as contracted drilling activities. d Value rounded to one decimal place. e Energy content of flared or vented gas is excluded from energy consumption reported as although they reflect loss of energy resources, they do not reflect energy use required for production or manufacturing of products. f Gross production comprises upstream production, refining throughput and petrochemicals produced. g bp equity share data comprises 100% of emissions from subsidiaries and the percentage of emissions equivalent to our share of joint arrangements and associates, other than bp’s share of Rosneft. In 2020, while we made progress in increasing the marketed sales of low carbon products, the reduction in the bp carbon intensity was largely a result of the reduction in sales of refined products, due to COVID-19. See the basis of reporting for the definition of marketed sales and the list of energy products covered at bp.com/basisofreporting.

51 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Our aim 4 is to install methane measurement at all our existing major oil and gas processing sites by 2023, publish the data, and then drive a 50% reduction in methane intensity« of our operations. And we will work to influence our joint ventures« to set their own methane intensity targets of 0.2%. In 2020 we set an intensity target of 0.20% by 2025, using a measurement approach. To reduce our methane intensity, we will focus on achieving reductions across our key methane sources. Our performance in 2020 Our methane intensity in 2020 was 0.12%, an improvement from 0.14% in 2019. In 2020 methane emissions from upstream operations, used to calculate our intensity, decreased by 22% to 71.6kt in 2020, down from 92.2kt in 2019. Marketed gas was 3,075bcf in 2020. This reduction in methane intensity was due to the Alaska and bpx energy divestments in 2020 and from SER projects and flaring reductions, the largest reductions being delivered in bpx energy and Angola. Our aim 5 is to increase the proportion of investment we make into our non-oil and gas businesses. Over time, as investment goes up in low and no carbon, we see it going down in oil and gas. We are aiming for up to an eight-fold scaling up of our investment in low carbon energy by 2025 and a ten-fold scaling up by 2030, to around $5 billion a year. In 2020 we invested $750 million, compared to more than $500 million in 2019. See page 22 for more on our investment in line with aim 5. Five aims to help the world get to net zero Our aim 6 is to more actively advocate for policies that support net zero, including carbon pricing. We have stopped corporate reputation advertising campaigns and this is enabling us to re-direct resources to promote climate policies. In future, any corporate advertising will be to push for well-designed climate policy; communicate our net zero ambition; invite ideas; or build collaborations. We will continue to run recruitment campaigns and advertise our products, services and partnerships – although we aim for these to be increasingly low carbon. We are involved in advocacy activities related to well-designed policies, primarily carbon pricing in the US, through our support for regional initiatives. bp.com/policyandadvocacy Our aim 7 is to incentivize our global workforce to deliver on our aims and mobilize them to become advocates for net zero. We want to help our employees understand what net zero means and the part they can play – through education and training programmes. We want to incentivize employees, which is why in 2019 we linked our annual cash bonus for eligible employees, including the bp leadership team, to sustainable emissions reductions (SERs). We have exceeded targeted delivery of SERs in both 2019 and 2020, though in 2020, bp decided not to pay an annual bonus due to the prevailing economic and financial environment. In 2020 for senior leaders we increased emphasis on low carbon, moving from 5% to 30% of senior leaders’ equity awards linked to low carbon. And for the bp leadership team, 25% of performance- based pay was linked to delivery of our purpose. The measures for the 2021 annual bonus for the wider workforce are aligned to bp’s strategy and net zero ambition and tied to a balanced scorecard consisting of safety and sustainability, operations and financial measures. In February 2021, we introduced the reinvent bp share award to incentivize our employees in meeting our aims. All employees will receive a one-off grant of either shares or share options that will become available to keep, sell or transfer in the first quarter of 2025. See the Directors’ remuneration report on pages 103-126 for more detail. Our aim 8 is to set new expectations for our relationships with trade associations around the globe. We belong to associations that offer opportunities to share good practices and collaborate on issues of importance to our sector. We aim for alignment between our policies and those of trade associations that we are a member of but understand that associations’ positions reflect a compromise of the assorted views of the membership. We will make the case for our views on climate change and we will be transparent where we differ. And where we can’t reach alignment, we will be prepared to leave. We published our first trade associations review in early 2020, and left three associations where we assessed climate positions as not aligned. Since then, we have made interventions where our views have not aligned – these occurred in the area of carbon pricing with the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and the Netherlands Employer Association, VNO-NCV. In 2021 we intend to publish an update on our relationships with trade associations which will focus on our engagement with five partially aligned associations. bp.com/tradeassociations Our aim 9 is to be recognized as an industry leader for the transparency of our reporting. On 12 February 2020, we declared our support for the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We intend to work constructively with the TCFD and others – such as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board – to develop good practices and standards for transparency. See pages 52-55 for our expanded TCFD disclosures. Our aim 10 is to launch a new team to create integrated clean energy and mobility solutions. We launched our regions, cities and solutions team in 2020. It will help countries, cities and corporations around the world decarbonize. We have announced our aim to partner with 10-15 cities globally over the next decade to help them achieve their climate goals. And we will work with three industrial sectors – high tech and consumer products, heavy transport and heavy industries – as they shape their energy transition journeys. In 2020 we’ve formed strategic partnerships with Aberdeen, Houston and Microsoft. We’ve also agreed to provide additional renewable energy to Amazon, helping them toward their ambition to decarbonize. bp.com/RCS

52 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Sustainability continued The world needs more energy to fuel prosperity and improve standards of living for a growing global population. This energy must be delivered in affordable and reliable ways, but it must also be lower carbon. Climate-related financial disclosures We support the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), which was established by the Financial Stability Board with the aim of improving the reporting of climate-related risks and opportunities. We announced in 2020 that we intend to work constructively with the TCFD, and others, to develop good practices and standards for transparency. Our latest reporting provides information supporting the TCFD’s recommended disclosures. We responded to the FCA consultation on climate-related financial disclosures and welcome the new listing rule. Governance Recommended disclosure: a. Describe the board’s oversight of climate- related risks and opportunities. The role of the board is to promote bp’s sustainable success for the benefit of its members, generating value for shareholders while having regard to the interests of our other stakeholders, the impact of our operations on the communities where we operate and the environment. In performing this role, the board is responsible for oversight of the overall conduct of the group’s business, which extends to setting our strategy and approach to the energy transition. The board and its associated committees, including the safety and sustainability, audit, people and governance and remuneration committees, where appropriate, have oversight of climate-related matters, which include climate risks and opportunities. They are updated on these matters frequently, a process which is managed by our company secretary’s office, which works closely with teams in bp to develop materials that assist the board or committee to discharge its responsibilities, including those related to climate. In 2020 these processes included formal analysis of bp’s net zero ambition and aims, briefings with subject matter experts, reviews of regulatory correspondence regarding prior year climate disclosures, virtual site visits and the preparation and consideration of corporate reporting documents and AGM materials. During 2020, climate matters were included on the agenda at every board meeting. Agendas are now structured along four distinct pillars: strategy, performance, people and governance. The safety and sustainability committee’s remit was extended from the beginning of 2020 to provide oversight of the effectiveness of the implementation of bp’s sustainability frame. This includes reviewing that appropriate progress is being made against our net zero, people and planet aims. The committee will continue to cover existing sustainability-related activities, including the oversight of operational sustainability risks. The role of the audit committee is to monitor the effectiveness of bp’s financial reporting, systems of internal control and risk management, and the integrity of bp’s external and internal audit processes. In fulfilling this purpose, the committee has oversight of financial disclosure, including TCFD reporting. The role of the remuneration committee is to recommend to the board the remuneration policy for executive directors and the leadership team. It also reviews workforce remuneration and monitors related policies, satisfying itself that incentives and rewards are aligned to bp’s strategy, culture and long-term sustainable success. This includes climate- related matters. The role of the people and governance committee (formerly the nomination and governance committee) is to oversee a diverse succession pipeline and to review workforce policies and practices, monitoring their consistency with bp’s purpose, strategy and values. This helps ensure that we have the right people to deliver our strategy and net zero ambition. Climate change and the environment Pursuing a strategy consistent with the Paris goals Strategy has been the core focus of every board meeting since the beginning of 2019. Throughout 2020 the board worked closely with the leadership team in developing our new strategy. In August 2020 the chairman outlined the key judgements the board had applied to their decision making regarding bp’s strategy, financial frame and investor proposition. As a result, the board considers that the strategy allows us to be flexible to adapt to market changes and scenarios to remain consistent with the Paris goals. The role of the board in evaluating material capex consistency with Paris The board assesses the impact of portfolio changes, such as strategic acquisitions and the allocation of capital. It also considers specific investment cases which have been approved by the resource commitment meeting, see page 29. TCFD recommendation: Disclose the organization’s governance around climate- related issues and opportunities. From 1 January 2021, bp implemented a new, simplified system of sustainability governance encompassing the board, its associated committees and the leadership team. This structure will enhance oversight of bp’s new sustainability frame, which focuses on three areas: net zero, people and planet. The remit of the board and its committees under our new governance framework is set out on page 88. Terms of reference for the board and its committees are available at bp.com/governance.

53 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Recommended disclosure: b. Describe management’s role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities. The assessment and management of climate- related matters is embedded across bp at various levels and delegated authority flows down from the board, see page 29. From 1 January 2021, a new executive level governance forum, the group sustainability committee, will provide internal oversight of bp’s progress against the aims and objectives in the sustainability frame, including net zero. This group is chaired by the EVP strategy & sustainability (S&S) and comprises members of the bp leadership team. The group sustainability committee plans to meet on a quarterly basis to review progress within entities against the sustainability frame and decide on critical strategic positions related to sustainability that present risks or opportunities to delivery. The EVP S&S will report to the main board and committees as required. The group operational risk committee will continue to provide oversight of safety and operational risk management performance for the group, where appropriate, which includes sustainability-related risks such as modern slavery and severe weather.

The leadership team is supported by bp’s senior-level leadership and their respective teams, with dedicated business and functional expertise focused on climate-related matters. This includes our health, safety, environment and carbon, strategy and sustainability and group policy and economics teams. Alignment between group, business and functional leaders is fostered through cross- functional bodies.

54 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Sustainability continued Strategy Strategic implications of climate change In the bp Energy Outlook 2020 we describe the potential implications of climate change and the energy transition on both primary energy demand and the energy system, through three long-term scenarios: Rapid, Net Zero and Business-as-usual. These are summarized on page 11 and further analysis by country and region, energy sector and fuel type can be found in the bp Energy Outlook, available at bp.com/energyoutlook. The transition to a lower carbon economy presents both risks and significant business opportunities for bp. Climate-related physical and transition risks are managed and reported as part of our group-wide risk management process described on pages 64-66. Climate-related risks and opportunities associated with the energy transition were taken into consideration alongside other inputs in developing our new ambition, aims and strategy. For more information about how our new organizational model and financial reporting segments see pages 36-38. For more on our new financial frame see page 22. Strategic resilience We believe our strategy is resilient to the range of energy transition pathways and scenarios including Paris, see page 11. For more information on our financial resilience, including our revised long-term price assumptions and impairment testing, see page 28. For information on the resilience of our individual investments, including our governance structure and investment process, see page 29. Our strategy is validated annually by the board to ensure it remains relevant and resilient, as part of our standard governance processes. Elements of the strategy may be refreshed earlier if there are significant changes in external or internal environment. TCFD recommendation: Disclose the actual and potential impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities on the organization’s business, strategy and financial planning where such information is material. Recommended disclosure: a. Describe the climate-related risk and opportunities that the organization has identified over the short, medium, and long term. b. The impact of climate-related risks and opportunities on the organization’s businesses, strategy, and financial planning. c. The resilience of the organization’s strategy, taking into consideration different climate- related scenarios, including a 2°C or lower scenario. Our strategy to become an Integrated Energy Company, and our net zero ambition and aims are set out on pages 2-3, 15 and 49. In developing this strategy, the board and leadership team consider a wide range of opportunities and risks across three discrete time horizons: Short term (to 2025): the next five years are defined by detailed business and financial plans, which are performance managed in delivery of our 2025 targets. Medium term (to 2030): looking out 10 years enables us to think beyond the short-term to consider signposts and milestones towards the longer-term scenarios, enabling us to adjust course if required. Long term (to 2050): recognizing the wide range of uncertainties, we use a scenario planning approach to help us explore possible pathways for the energy transition over the next 30 years, as the world moves towards net zero. This includes consideration of changes in policy, societal preferences, economic growth and technological progress. For more detail on our approach and how it informs our strategy, see page 11. TCFD recommendation: Disclose how the organization identifies, assesses and manages climate-related risks. Risk management Recommended disclosure: a. Describe the organization’s processes for identifying and assessing climate-related risks. bp’s risk management system, described on page 64, is designed to address all types of risks including our principal risks and uncertainties described in Risk factors on page 67. As part of this system our operating businesses, integrators and enablers (see page 36) are responsible for identifying, assessing, managing, and monitoring risks associated with their business area. Risks are assessed in line with bp’s risk management policy and this includes an impact and likelihood assessment which supports relative prioritization. Climate-related risks are classified in alignment with TCFD’s description of physical and transition risks: Physical risks – risks related to the physical impacts of climate change including event- driven risks such as changes in the severity and/or frequency of extreme weather events. Transition risks – risks related to the transition to a lower carbon economy including policy and legal, technology, markets and reputational risks. The potential material impacts of such climate- related risks are described in Risk factors, see page 67. Recommended disclosure: b. Describe the organization’s processes for managing climate-related risks. c. Describe how processes for identifying, assessing and managing climate-related risks are integrated into the organization’s overall risk management. Risks which may be identified include potential effects on operations at asset level, performance at business level and developments at regional level from extreme weather or the transition to a lower carbon economy.

55 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 As part of our annual planning process we review the group’s principal risks and uncertainties. Climate change and the transition to a lower carbon economy has been identified as a principal risk, see page 68. This covers various aspects of how risks associated with the energy transition could manifest. Similarly, physical climate-related risks such as extreme weather are covered in our principal risks related to safety and operations. Our processes for identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring climate-related risks are integrated into bp’s risk management policy and the associated risk management procedures.

These data are collated and periodically compared against the Basis of Design for the facility. If significant differences are observed, then this may trigger an update to the Basis of Design, prompting action to re-assess risks such as structural integrity and station-keeping and if necessary, implement additional risk mitigations. Updates may also occur as a result of other new knowledge, analysis methods and data. Transition risks are typically identified and managed by business, regional or central teams. For example, our strategy & sustainability team has identified risks relating to evolving policies across different regions. They work with bp’s leadership as well as with both central and regional legal teams, communications & advocacy and external advisors to manage and monitor these risks. TCFD recommendation: Disclose the metrics and targets used to assess and manage relevant climate-related risks and opportunities where such information is material. Metrics and targets We present the principal group-wide metrics and targets used to assess and manage climate- related risks and opportunities below. This also addresses the CA100+ resolution requirement to disclose the company’s principal metrics and relevant targets or goals consistent with the Paris goals. We consider this to cover the principal metrics used at group level to help monitor progress on delivery of our strategic consistency with the Paris goals – including our net zero aims. In addition, we report on selected energy group illustrative metrics«. A reference table of these can be found at bp.com/sustainability.

56 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Sustainability continued Our health, safety, security and environmental (HSSE) goals are: no accidents, no harm to people and no damage to the environment. We work hard to avoid, mitigate and manage our environmental and social impacts over the life of our operations. The way our businesses around the world are expected to understand and manage their environmental and social impacts is set out in our operating management system« (OMS). This includes requirements on engaging with stakeholders who may be affected by our activities. In planning our projects, we identify potential impacts from our activities in areas such as land rights, water use and protected areas. We use the results of this analysis to identify actions and mitigation measures and look to implement these in project design, construction and operations. Our OMS requires each of bp’s operating businesses and functions to create and maintain its own OMS handbook, describing how it will carry out its local operating activities. Through self-verification, local business processes are reviewed and areas for improvement are prioritized, allowing focus on delivering safe, reliable and compliant operations. Air emissions We monitor our air emissions and put measures in place to reduce the potential impact of our activities on local communities. As part of our aim 19 we plan to evaluate the air emissions from our global operating facilities to better understand how they may be affected while advancing our net zero aims for GHG emissions. For more on air emissions, see the bp Sustainability Report 2020. Caring for our planet Our sustainability frame includes a focus on making a positive difference to the environment in which we operate. The scope of our care for our planet aims covers biodiversity, water management, nature-based solutions including those that reduce or remove carbon, circularity and sustainable purchasing. Water We actively manage our freshwater demands in areas of stress and scarcity. Based on analysis using the World Resources Institute Aqueduct Global Water Risk Atlas, four of our 24 major operating sites were located in regions with high or extremely high water stress in 2020, with another four in areas of medium to high water stress. This number reduces to three in regions with high or extremely high water and three in regions of medium to high water stress, if our bp petrochemicals and other 2020 divestments are excluded. In 2020 we saw a 2% fall in freshwater withdrawals and a 17% fall in freshwater consumption compared to 2019. This was largely due to the divestment of our Alaskan operation in 2020, the formation of the bp Bunge non- operated joint venture from bp operated biofuels and biopower businesses at the end of 2019 and a reduction in freshwater use in our bpx energy operations during 2020. We have set an aim to be water positive by 2035. We aim to replenish more freshwater than we consume in our operations. We will do this by being more efficient in operational freshwater use and effluent management, and by collaborating with others to replenish freshwater in stressed and scarce catchment areas where we operate. Biodiversity We have set an aim to enhance biodiversity, focusing on making a positive impact through our actions to restore, maintain and enhance biodiversity where we work. We expect that from 2022 all new bp projects in scope will have plans in place aiming to achieve net positive impact (NPI), with a target for 90% of actions to be delivered within five years of project approvala. We also aim to enhance biodiversity at our major operating sites and support biodiversity restoration and sustainable use of natural resource projects in the countries where we have current or growing investments. In 2020 we launched our new biodiversity position and focused on sharing it with our stakeholders and putting in place the resources to deliver it. We also started work on defining our NPI methodology with Fauna & Flora International, which we expect to complete at the end of 2021. bp.com/biodiversity Our aims to care for our planet: Aim 16: enhance biodiversity. Aim 17: water positive. Aim 18: championing nature-based solutions. Aim 19: unlock circularity. Aim 20: sustainable purchasing. bp.com/planet a Applicable projects that have the potential for significant direct impacts on biodiversity. Only actions that are intended to be delivered within five years in accordance with the NPI methodology are included. The 30% and 90% targets apply in aggregate across all applicable projects that meet the relevant timeframes from the final project approval (and are not targets for individual projects).

For more information see Financial statements – Note 35. Our people are the most important element of our success. We need a motivated, engaged, and diverse workforce to deliver our purpose and strategy. We promote a culture that generates the diversity of thought, approach and ideas needed to reimagine energy and move to a low carbon environment. The people and culture committee helps facilitate the CEO’s oversight of people related matters. In 2020 the committee discussed key items, including our remuneration policy, progress in our diversity and inclusion programme, employee engagement, workplace, our talent and learning programmes and long-term people priorities. The committee also spent significant time focusing on the reinvent bp programme and related design and selection activities. Attraction and retention We aim to recruit talented people from diverse backgrounds, and invest in training, development and competitive rewards for all our people. We invest in employee development – with a focus on driving safe, reliable and compliant operations, and on building technical, functional and leadership capability. This includes a range of development opportunities for our people through a mix of on-the-job learning, developmental relationships with mentors, managers and peers, and training delivered face-to-face, virtually and through simulation or e-learning. bp’s success depends on having a talented and diverse workforce that represents the communities we serve. Reinvent bp selection process As part of our work to reinvent bp we are running selection processes and considering in-scope employees for roles within the new organizational design, with the outcome that around 10,000 employees will leave bp by early 2022. The selection processes focus on office-based non-operational roles. We have put robust steps in place to help ensure that the selection processes are fair and objective and that employees are supported before and after receiving their selection outcome confirmation. We have appointed and coached neutral observers to challenge selection decisions and help mitigate unconscious bias and trained line managers on how to undertake fair and meritocratic selection decisions. Where roles are impacted by the selection processes, bp adheres to local laws. Line managers were given supporting resources for the notification process, including guides, training and scripts on communicating outcomes compassionately. We will continue to provide these resources throughout the remaining selection processes. Employees were provided with supporting resources, including guidance on preparing for change, mental wellbeing, preparing for outcome conversations, and dealing with uncertainty. Employees were encouraged to use the Employee Assistance Programme throughout. We also established our myFuture programme, which provides tools, resources and support to help leavers navigate the next stage in their career or phase of life. See pages 36-37 for more on reinvent bp and our new organizational model. Diversity Our mission is to create an environment in which everyone can bring their best and true selves to work, to reach their potential and support the reinvention of bp. Ethnic diversity In 2020 we published our UK and US frameworks for action to help combat racial injustice in bp. Both frameworks have three key focus areas: transparency, accountability and talent. Those actions will include: publishing a comprehensive global diversity & inclusion (D&I) report in 2021, embedding expectations and metrics on D&I delivery in our operating plans, reporting externally on our UK ethnicity pay gap annually and doubling our spend with US-based diverse suppliers by 2023. A total of 30% of our group leaders came from countries other than the UK and the US in 2020 (2019 25%). Gender equality The gender balance across bp as a whole is improving, with women representing 39% of bp’s total population (2019 38%). 38% of our 120 newly-appointed extended leadership team are women and our goal is to increase this. At the end of 2020 we had five female directors (2019 5) on our board. Our people and governance committee remains mindful of diversity when considering potential candidates.

As well as bringing employees together, these groups support our recruitment programmes and provide feedback on the potential impact of policy changes. Each group is sponsored by a senior executive. We aim to provide equal opportunity in recruitment, career development, promotion, training and reward for all employees – regardless of ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable laws. Where existing employees become disabled, our policy is to engage and use reasonable accommodations or adjustments to enable continued employment. Employee engagement Our managers hold team and one-to-one meetings with their team members, complemented by formal processes through works councils in parts of Europe. We regularly communicate with employees on factors that affect bp’s performance, and seek to maintain constructive relationships with labour unions formally representing our employees.

58 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Sustainability continued To understand what our employees think and feel about bp, we run an annual ‘Pulse’ survey as well as ‘Pulse Live’ surveys, which enable us to monitor changes in employee sentiment on a weekly basis. The overall employee engagement positivity score in our 2020 annual survey was 64% (2019 65%). Pride in working for bp was 75% (2019 75%). Employees participating in the 2020 Pulse survey told us they strongly supported the launch of bp’s new purpose and ambition in February and the strategy announcement in August. Initial positivity over the strategy waned in December, with employees expressing anxiety about the reinvent process and economic uncertainty during 2020. Most participants felt confident in bp’s approach to managing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Employees also told us we should focus on addressing workload, supporting health and wellbeing and being transparent about the new structure. Share ownership We continue to encourage employee share ownership and have a number of employee share plans in place. For example, we operate a ShareMatch plan in more than 50 countries, matching bp shares purchased by our employees. We also make annual share awards as part of our total reward package all for senior and mid-level employees globally, and a portion of our more junior professional grade staff. In February 2021, we introduced the reinvent bp share award to incentivize our employees in meeting our aims. All employees will receive a one-off grant of either shares or share options that will become available to keep, sell or transfer in the first quarter of 2025. Wellbeing and mental health Mental health and physical wellbeing are priorities for us and we recognized that the COVID-19 pandemic had direct and indirect consequences for our employees and their families. We offered access to a range of facilities and services, including support through our well-established Employee Assistance Programme and new interventions, including providing access to the Headspace app to both employees and their partners. Our annual global physical wellbeing programme had 5,887 participants from 59 countries, with positive feedback on helping keep teams connected and keeping people physically active. We continue to improve our systematic management of health data points and sources, to identify where we can target preventive interventions and provide training, support and resources to help improve employee wellbeing and performance. We believe wellbeing at work is becoming part of the bp language – a critical part of caring for our people and the communities in which we operate. Value to society Improving people’s lives One of our sustainability frame areas of focus is to improve people’s lives. We have set five people aims focusing on where bp can make the biggest difference. We want people to benefit from our presence in their local communities, wherever we run projects or operate. This includes collaborating with local communities to support sustainable livelihoods and build greater resilience as part of a just transition. Our work on sustainable livelihoods to date supports several of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular on education, health and economic growth as drivers for sustainable livelihoods. Human rights We believe everyone deserves to be treated with fairness, respect and dignity. At bp we strive to conduct our business in a responsible way, respecting the human rights of our workers and everyone we come into contact with. Our human rights policy and our code of conduct help us do that. See page 63 for information on how we updated our business and human rights policy in 2020. We respect internationally recognized human rights as set out in the International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, including the core Conventions. These include the rights of our workforce and those living in communities potentially affected by our activities. We incorporate the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, which set out how companies should prevent, address and remedy human rights impacts, into our business processes. When working to remediate any impacts on the rights of local communities we are open to co-operating in good faith to agree remedial actions through state-led mechanisms such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development National Contact Points. We recognize the importance of accessible and effective operational-level grievance mechanisms in addressing our impacts. bp.com/humanrights Our aims to improve people’s lives: Aim 11: more clean energy. Aim 12: just transition. Aim 13: sustainable livelihoods. Aim 14: greater equity. Aim 15: enhance wellbeing. bp.com/people

In 2020 it remained our first priority throughout our transformation process and the COVID-19 pandemic. Fundamentally, safety is about caring for our employees and the communities in which we operate. We have taken steps to help our employees operate safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tragically, we saw one fatality related to illness, rather than a process safety incident, in our operations in 2020. This occurred in December in our Indonesian operations when an employee died following COVID-19 infection contracted on site. We deeply regret this loss and offer our deepest condolences to the employee’s family. See page 8 for more information. Keeping people safe All our employees and contractors have the responsibility and the authority to stop unsafe work. Our safety rules guide our workers on staying safe while performing tasks with the potential to cause most harm. The rules are aligned with our operating management system (OMS) and focus on areas such as working at heights, lifting operations and driving safety. We monitor and report on key workforce personal safety metrics in line with industry standards. We include both employees and contractors in our data. We have seen improvements in personal safety in 2020 and while this may in part be a consequence of decreased activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, we also believe that other, more intentional factors, are involved – namely the groundwork we have done over the past few years, including our deepening focus on safety leadership, human performance, and the effectiveness of our safety processes such as permit-to-work. Our recordable injury frequency, reduced from 0.166 in 2019 to 0.132 in 2020. There is always more we can do, and we remain focused on further improving our results. 2020 2019 2018 Recordable injury frequencya 0.132 0.166 0.198 Day away from work case frequencyb 0.044 0.047 0.048 Severe vehicle accident rate 0.01 0.05 0.04 a Incidents that result in a fatality or injury per 200,000 hours worked. b Incidents that result in an injury where a person is unable to work for a day (shift) or more per 200,000 hours worked.

60 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Sustainability continued Managing safety bp-operated businesses are responsible for identifying and managing operating risks and bringing together people with the right skills and competencies to address them. Our safety and operational risk assurance team works alongside bp-operated businesses to provide oversight and technical guidance, while our group audit team visits sites on a risk-prioritized basis to check how they are managing risks. Our operating management system Our OMS is a group-wide framework designed to help us manage risks in our operating activities and drive performance improvements. It brings together bp requirements on health, safety, security, the environment, social responsibility and operational reliability, as well as related issues, such as maintenance, contractor relations and organizational learning, into a common management system. Our OMS also helps us improve the quality of our activities by setting a common framework that our operations must work to. We review and amend these requirements from time to time to reflect our priorities. Any variations in the application of our OMS, in order to meet local regulations or circumstances, are subject to a governance process. Recently acquired operations need to transition to our OMS. Preventing incidents We carefully plan our operations, with the aim of identifying potential hazards and having rigorous operating and maintenance practices applied by capable people to manage risks at every stage. We design our new facilities in line with process safety, good design and engineering principles. We track our safety performance using industry metrics such as the American Petroleum Institute recommended practice 754 and the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers recommended practice 45. Our process safety performance improved from 2019 and was roughly comparable to 2018 and 2017. There were 35% fewer tier 1 process safety events in 2020 compared to 2019, but our performance was broadly in line with the previous three years. We also recorded 26% fewer tier 2 process safety events compared to 2019, lower than the previous 10 years. The combined tier 1 and tier 2 process safety events were down 29% in 2020 compared to 2019. We investigate incidents including near misses. And we use leading indicators, such as inspections and equipment tests, to monitor the strength of controls to prevent incidents. 2020 2019 2018 Tier 1 and tier 2 process safety eventsa 70 98 72 Oil spills – numberb 121 152 124 Oil spills contained 70 90 63 Oil spills reaching land and water 46 58 57 Oil spilled – volume (thousand litres) 784 710 538 Oil unrecovered (thousand litres) 494 300 131 a Tier 1 process safety events are losses of primary containment of greatest consequence – such as causing harm to a member of the workforce, costly damage to equipment or exceeding defined quantities. Tier 2 events are those of lesser consequence. b Number of spills greater than or equal to one barrel (159 litres, 42 US gallons). Emergency preparedness The scale and spread of bp’s operations means we must be prepared to respond to a range of possible disruptions and emergency events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. We maintain disaster recovery, crisis and business continuity management plans and work to build day-to- day response capabilities to support local management of incidents. Security We monitor for hostile actions that could harm our people or disrupt our operations. These actions might be connected to political or social unrest, terrorism, armed conflict or criminal activity. We take these potential threats seriously and assess them continuously. Our 24-hour response information centre in the UK uses state-of-the-art technology to monitor evolving high-risk situations in real time. It helps us to assess the safety of our people and provide them with practical advice if there is an emergency. Cyber security The severity, sophistication and scale of cyber attacks continues to evolve. The increasing digitalization and reliance on IT systems makes managing cyber risk an even greater priority for many industries, including our own. The risk comes from a variety of cyber-threat actors, including nation states, criminals, terrorists, hacktivists and insiders. As with previous years, we’ve experienced threats to the security of our digital infrastructure, but none of these had a significant impact on our business in 2020. We have a range of measures to manage this risk, including the use of cyber-security policies and procedures, security protection tools, continuous threat monitoring and event detection capabilities, and incident response plans. We also conduct exercises to test our response to and recovery from cyber attacks. To encourage vigilance among our staff, our cyber-security training and awareness programme covers topics such as phishing and the correct classification and handling of our information. We collaborate closely with governments, law enforcement and industry peers to understand and respond to new and emerging threats. Working with contractors Through documents that help bridge between our policies and those of our contractors, we define the way our safety management system co-exists with those of our contractors to manage risk on a site. For our contractors facing the most serious risks, we conduct quality, technical, health, safety and security audits before awarding contracts. Once they start work, we continue to monitor their safety performance. Our OMS includes requirements and practices for working with contractors. Our standard model contracts include health, safety and security requirements. We expect and encourage our contractors and their employees to act in a way that is consistent with our code of conduct and take appropriate action if those expectations, or their contractual obligations, are not met. Our partners in joint arrangements« In joint arrangements where we are the operator, our OMS, code of conduct and other policies apply. We aim to report on aspects of our business where we are the operator – as we directly manage the performance of these operations. We monitor performance and how risk is managed in our joint arrangements, whether we are the operator or not. Where we are not the operator, our OMS is available as a reference point for bp businesses when engaging with operators and co-venturers. We have a group framework to assess and manage bp’s exposure related to safety, operational and bribery and corruption risk from our participation in these types of arrangements. Where appropriate, we may seek to influence how risk is managed in arrangements where we are not the operator.

61 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Our values and code of conduct Our values of safety, respect, excellence, courage and one team represent the qualities and actions we wish to see in bp. They inform how we do business and the decisions we make. We use these values as part of our recruitment, promotion and individual performance management processes. Our code of conduct is based on our values and sets clear expectations for how we work at bp. It applies to all bp employees and members of the board. Employees, contractors or other third parties who have a question about our code of conduct or see something that they feel is unethical or unsafe can discuss this with their managers, supporting teams, works councils (where relevant) or through OpenTalk, a confidential and anonymous helpline operated by an independent company. We received more than 1,600 concerns or enquiries through these channels in 2020 (2019 1,800). The most commonly raised concerns were related to the ‘Our people’ section of our code of conduct. The section addresses issues such as harassment, equal opportunity, and diversity and inclusion. We take steps to identify and correct areas of non-conformance and take disciplinary action where appropriate. In 2020 our businesses dismissed approximately 50 bp employees for non-conformance with our code of conduct or unethical behaviour (2019 82a). This excludes dismissals of contractors and vendors, and staff employed at our retail service stations. Anti-bribery and corruption We operate in parts of the world where bribery and corruption present a high risk. We have a responsibility to our employees, our shareholders and the countries and communities in which we do business to be ethical and lawful in all our work. Our code of conduct explicitly prohibits engaging in bribery or corruption in any form. Our group-wide anti-bribery and corruption policy and procedures include measures and guidance to assess risks, understand relevant laws and report concerns. They apply to all bp-operated businesses. Tax transparency We comply with tax laws in a responsible manner, pay and report our taxes on time and have open and constructive conversations with stakeholders, including governments and tax authorities. And we contribute to initiatives that simplify and improve tax regimes to encourage investment and sustainable growth and support the energy transition. We are committed to being transparent about our tax principles and the taxes we pay. We paid $3.3 billion in corporate income and production taxes to governments (2019 $6.9 billion). In 2020 we endorsed the B Team Responsible Tax Principles and we published Our tax report 2019. The report provides more detailed information on how we approach tax matters and the tax payments we make. New disclosures in our tax report include the total tax contribution for our global operations. This covers: all our business activities and details the taxes we pay directly to governments on our own behalf, along with taxes we collect and pay to governments on behalf of others; financial and tax data from our OECD country-by-country report, summary activities of bp subsidiaries by country and details of bp companies located in countries considered to be low tax jurisdictions. bp is a founding member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), which supports the disclosure of payments made to and received by governments in relation to oil, gas and mining. Through EITI we work with governments, NGOs and international agencies to improve transparency. bp.com/tax We provide training to employees appropriate to the nature or location of their role. Around 7,700 employees completed anti-bribery and corruption training in 2020 (2019 ~11,000). We assess any exposure to bribery and corruption risk when working with suppliers and business partners. Where appropriate, we put in place a risk mitigation plan or we reject them if we conclude that risks are too high. We also conduct anti-bribery compliance audits on selected suppliers when contracts are in place. Many of our production & operations projects conduct supplier audits to assess their conformance with our anti-bribery and corruption contractual requirements. We take corrective action with suppliers and business partners that fail to meet our expectations, which may include terminating contracts. In 2020 we issued 35 audit reports (2019 25). While our audit process was disrupted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued to engage suppliers and communicate our expectations for managing bribery and corruption risk on behalf of bp. For example, our customers & products business delivered a regional annual contractor forum digitally, to provide awareness of bribery and corruption risks. Political donations and activity We prohibit the use of bp funds or resources to support any political candidate or party. We recognize the rights of our employees to participate in the political process and these rights are governed by the applicable laws in the countries where we operate. The way in which we interact with those governments depends on the legal and regulatory framework in each country. Our stance on political activity is defined in our code of conduct. In the US we provide administrative support for the bp employee political action committee (PAC), which is a non-partisan committee that encourages voluntary employee participation in the political process. All bp employee PAC contributions are reviewed for compliance with federal and state law and are publicly reported in accordance with US election laws. The PAC paused all contributions for six months beginning in January 2021. During this time the PAC will re-evaluate its criteria for candidate support. Business ethics and accountability a 2019 figure differs from the 2019 figure (74) reported in the bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2019 to reflect backdated dismissal decisions (concerns where dismissals were not known or recorded until after the 2019 report was published), heliport spot check dismissals and changes to dismissal decisions.

63 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Our stakeholders Section 172 statement In accordance with the requirements of section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the Act’), the directors consider that, during the financial year ended 31 December 2020, they have acted in a way that they consider, in good faith, would most likely promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, having regard to the likely consequences of any decision in the long term and the broader interests of other stakeholders, as required by the Act. See table on pages 82-83 for more information in support of this statement, including a description of the board’s activities during 2020. Employees Monitoring employee sentiment We use our ‘Pulse’ survey and weekly ‘Pulse Live’ surveys to gather feedback from employees, including their perceptions of work demands and leadership support. The employee engagement score is a key performance indicator for bp, see page 41. Investors Developing our new strategy, financial frame and investor proposition Our decision to introduce a new strategy, financial frame and investor proposition, including a new distribution policy, benefited from extensive dialogue with our major shareholders. ESG engagement We engage frequently with our investors on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. This includes one-to-one conversations, participation at external events and group meetings, including with Climate Action 100+ representatives. bp week In response to feedback from investors and others, CEO Bernard Looney and his leadership team offered further insight into bp’s new strategy and sustainability frame during bp week – three consecutive virtual capital markets days held in September 2020. Keeping connected through webcasts CEO Bernard Looney hosted regular ‘Keeping Connected’ webcasts to discuss important topics with members of the leadership team and subject matter experts such as our partner Equinor’s EVP, New Energy Solutions, and our vice president health and wellbeing, Dr Richard Heron. The sessions included a live Q&A section where employees could ask questions, anonymously if desired, of the CEO and webcast guests. See page 86 for more on how the board and senior management team engaged with stakeholders throughout the year. Society Our biodiversity position We developed our updated position with input and constructive challenge from international nature and conservation organizations and experts including Conservation International, Fauna & Flora International (FFI), UNESCO and IUCN. The position sets out new measures to help restore, maintain and enhance nature. In September we announced a five-year collaboration with FFI to help support the delivery of our new position, including our aim to achieve a net positive impact. Our human rights policy We updated our business and human rights policy in 2020 to address emerging human rights issues relevant to our industry, clarify our human rights commitments and communicate how bp’s approach to managing human rights impacts has advanced. The update was supported by consultations with a wide range of NGOs, subject matter experts and investors. Responding to feedback When our ‘Pulse Live’ and Employee Assistance platforms showed increased anxiety in employees, our CEO Bernard Looney led a series of live webcasts, including one focused on reducing mental health stigma and encouraging employees to ask for help. We also increased the frequency of mental health awareness training for managers.

64 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 How we manage risk How we manage risk bp manages, monitors and reports on the principal risks and uncertainties that can impact our ability to deliver our strategy. These risks are described in the Risk factors on page 67. Our management systems, organizational structures, processes, standards, code of conduct and behaviours together form a system of internal control that governs how we conduct the business of bp and manage associated risks. bp’s risk management system bp’s risk management system and policy is designed to be a consistent and clear framework for managing and reporting risks from the group’s operations to management and to the board. The system seeks to avoid incidents and enhance business outcomes by allowing us to: Understand the risk environment, identify the specific risks and assess the potential exposure for bp. Determine how best to deal with these risks to manage overall potential exposure. Manage the identified risks in appropriate ways. Monitor and seek assurance of the effectiveness of the management of these risks and intervene for improvement where necessary. Report up the management chain and to the board on a periodic basis on how significant risks are being managed, monitored, assured and the improvements that are being made. Business and strategic risk management – our businesses, integrators and enablers integrate risk management into key business processes such as strategy, planning, performance management, resource and capital allocation, and project appraisal. We do this by using a standard framework for collating risk data, assessing risk management activities, making further improvements and in connection with planning new activities. Oversight and governance – throughout the year management, the leadership team, the board and relevant committees provide oversight of how significant risks to bp are identified, assessed and managed. They help to ensure that risks are governed by relevant policies and are managed appropriately. Such oversight may include reviews of the outcomes of business processes including strategy, planning and resource and capital allocation. bp’s group risk team analyses the group’s risk profile and maintains the group’s risk management system. Our internal audit team provides independent assurance to the chief executive and board as to whether the group’s system of internal control is adequately designed and operating effectively to respond appropriately to the risks that are significant to bp. Risk oversight and governance Key risk oversight and governance committees include the following: Our risk management activities Day-to-day risk management – management and staff at our facilities, assets, and within our businesses, integrators and enablers seek to identify and manage risk, promoting safe, compliant and reliable operations. bp requirements, which take into account applicable laws and regulations, underpin the practical plans developed to help reduce risk and deliver safe, compliant and reliable operations as well as greater efficiency and sustainable financial results.

65 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Risk management processes We aim for a consistent basis of measuring risk to: Establish a common understanding of risks on a like-for-like basis, taking into account potential impact and likelihood. Report risks and their management to the appropriate levels of the organization. Inform prioritization of specific risk management activities and resource allocation. Businesses, integrators and enablers review significant risks and associated risk management activities in alignment with key business processes to help enable key decisions to be risk informed. As part of bp’s annual planning process, the leadership team and board review the group’s principal risks and uncertainties and determine risks for particular oversight by the board and its committees. These may be updated during the year in response to changes in internal and external circumstances. Our risk profile The nature of our business operations is long term, resulting in many of our risks being enduring in nature. Nonetheless, risks can develop and evolve over time and their potential impact or likelihood may vary in response to internal and external events. These may include emerging risks which are considered through existing processes, including bp’s risk management system, bp’s Energy Outlook, bp’s Technology Outlook and group strategic reviews. We identify longer-term strategic risks and high priority risks for particular oversight by the board and its various committees in the coming year. There can be no certainty that our risk management activities will mitigate or prevent these, or other risks, from occurring. Further details of the principal risks and uncertainties we face are set out in Risk factors on page 67. Risks for particular oversight by the board and its committees in 2021 The risks for particular oversight by the board and its committees in 2021 have been reviewed and are listed in this section. These may be updated throughout the year in response to changes in internal and external circumstances. The oversight and management of other risks is undertaken in the normal course of business. In addition to the risks reviewed in 2020, climate-related risks remain a longer-term strategic risk. The impact of COVID-19 The spread of COVID-19 has caused a significant drop in the oil and gas prices and refining margins. bp’s future financial performance will be impacted by the extent and duration of the current market conditions and the effectiveness of the actions that it and others take, including its financial interventions. Our financial frame is designed to be robust to periods of low price, with flexibility to reduce cost and capital expenditure if required. We continue to assess the impact of COVID-19 on our staff and operations and have instigated appropriate mitigation plans. Climate-related risks Risks associated with climate change and the transition to a lower carbon economy impact many elements of our strategy and, as such, these risks are considered through key business processes including the strategy, annual plan, capital allocation and investment decisions. The outputs of these key business processes are reviewed in line with the cadence of these activities. Further details are described in Climate change and the environment on page 52. Strategic and commercial risks Financial liquidity External market conditions can impact our financial performance. Supply and demand and the prices achieved for our products can be affected by a wide range of factors including political developments, consumer preferences for low carbon energy, global economic conditions and the influence of OPEC. We seek to manage this risk through bp’s diversified portfolio, our financial framework, liquidity stress testing, maintaining a significant cash buffer, regular reviews of market conditions and our planning and investment processes. See Prices and markets and Liquidity, financial capacity and financial, including credit, exposure on page 67. Cyber security The targeted and indiscriminate threats to the security of our digital infrastructure and those of third parties continue to evolve rapidly and are increasingly prevalent across industries worldwide. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic changed ways of working and introduced new phishing campaigns. We seek to manage this risk through a range of measures, which include cyber security standards, security protection tools, ongoing detection and monitoring of threats and testing of cyber response and recovery procedures. We collaborate closely with governments, law enforcement agencies and industry peers to understand and respond to new and emerging cyber threats. We build awareness with our staff, share information on incidents with leadership for continuous learning and conduct regular exercises including with the leadership team to test response and recovery procedures.

66 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Geopolitical The diverse locations of our operations around the world expose us to a wide range of political developments and consequent changes to the economic and operating environment. Geopolitical risk is inherent to many regions in which we operate, and heightened political or social tensions or changes in key relationships could adversely affect the group. We seek to manage this risk through development and maintenance of relationships with governments and stakeholders and by becoming trusted partners in each country and region. In addition, we closely monitor events and implement risk mitigation plans where appropriate. Compliance and control risks Ethical misconduct and legal or regulatory non-compliance Ethical misconduct or breaches of applicable laws or regulations could damage our reputation, result in litigation, regulatory action and penalties, adversely affect results and shareholder value, and potentially affect our licence to operate. Our code of conduct and our values and behaviours, applicable to all employees, are central to managing this risk. Additionally, we have various group requirements and training covering areas such as anti-bribery and corruption, anti-money laundering, competition/anti-trust law and international trade regulations. We seek to keep abreast of new regulations and legislation and plan our response to them. We offer an independent confidential helpline, OpenTalk, for employees, contractors and other third parties. Trading non-compliance In the normal course of business, we are subject to risks around our trading activities which could arise from shortcomings or failures in our systems, risk management methodology, internal control processes or employee conduct. We have specific operating standards and control processes to manage these risks, including guidelines specific to trading, and seek to monitor compliance through our dedicated compliance teams. We also seek to maintain a positive and collaborative relationship with regulators and the industry at large. Safety and operational risks Process safety, personal safety and environmental risks The nature of the group’s operating activities exposes us to a wide range of significant health, safety and environmental risks such as incidents associated with releases of hydrocarbons when drilling wells, operating facilities and transporting hydrocarbons. Our operating management system« helps us manage these risks and drive performance improvements. It sets out the standards and requirements which govern key risk management activities such as inspection, maintenance, testing, business continuity and crisis response planning and competency development. In addition, we conduct our drilling activity through a wells organization in order to promote a consistent approach for designing, constructing and managing wells. Security Hostile acts such as terrorism or piracy could harm our people and disrupt our operations. We monitor for emerging threats and vulnerabilities to manage our physical and information security. Our central security team provides guidance and support to our businesses through a network of regional security advisors who advise and conduct assurance activities with respect to the management of security risks affecting our people and operations. We continue to monitor threats globally and maintain disaster recovery, crisis and business continuity management plans. The impact of the UK’s exit from the EU We have been assessing the potential impact on bp of Brexit and the UK’s future global relationships and have not identified any significant risk to our business. The impact of reinventing bp on the organization Last year we announced that we are reinventing bp to help deliver our ambition. This significant reorganization includes a new structure, a new leadership team, new ways of working and a reduction in the size of bp’s office- based workforce. Risks associated with these changes have been identified, assessed and are being managed. As part of our three lines of defence, our businesses, integrators and enablers are working to deliver clear accountabilities and the associated workload reduction. All individuals changing roles or leaving bp are required to complete a comprehensive management of change. Material risk management actions are being assured by internal audit. How we manage risk continued

67 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 The risks discussed below, separately or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on the implementation of our strategy, our business, financial performance, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, prospects, shareholder value and returns and reputation. Strategic and commercial risks Prices and markets – our financial performance is impacted by fluctuating prices of oil, gas and refined products, technological change, exchange rate fluctuations, and the general macroeconomic outlook. Oil, gas and product prices are subject to international supply and demand and margins can be volatile. Political developments, increased supply from new oil and gas or alternative low carbon energy sources, technological change, global economic conditions, public health situations (including the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or any future epidemic or pandemic) and the influence of OPEC can impact supply and demand and prices for our products. Decreases in oil, gas or product prices could have an adverse effect on revenue, margins, profitability and cash flows. If significant or for a prolonged period, we may have to write down assets and re-assess the viability of certain projects, which may impact future cash flows, profit, capital expenditure, the ability to work within our financial frame and maintain our long-term investment programme. Conversely, an increase in oil, gas and product prices may not improve margin performance as there could be increased fiscal take, cost inflation and more onerous terms for access to resources. The profitability of our refining activities can be volatile, with periodic over-supply or supply tightness in regional markets and fluctuations in demand. Exchange rate fluctuations can create currency exposures and impact underlying costs and revenues. Crude oil prices are generally set in US dollars, while products vary in currency. Many of our major project« development costs are denominated in local currencies, which may be subject to fluctuations against the US dollar. Access, renewal and reserves progression – inability to access, renew and progress upstream resources in a timely manner could adversely affect our long-term replacement of reserves. Focused renewal of our reserve base in line with our strategy depends on our ability to progress upstream resources from our existing portfolio and access new resource in our core areas, generating future opportunities for oil and natural gas production. Competition for access to investment opportunities, heightened political and economic risks where we operate, unsuccessful exploration activity, technical challenges and capital commitments may adversely affect our reserve replacement. This, and our ability to progress upstream resources at a level in line with our strategic outlook for hydrocarbon production, could impact our future production and financial performance. Major project delivery – failure to invest in the best opportunities or deliver major projects successfully could adversely affect our financial performance. We face challenges in developing major projects, particularly in geographically and technically challenging areas. Poor investment choice, efficiency or delivery, or operational challenges at any major project that underpins production or production growth could adversely affect our financial performance. Geopolitical – exposure to a range of political developments and consequent changes to the operating and regulatory environment could cause business disruption. We operate and may seek new opportunities in countries, regions and cities where political, economic and social transition may take place. Political instability, changes to the regulatory environment or taxation, international trade disputes and barriers to free trade, international sanctions, expropriation or nationalization of property, civil strife, strikes, insurrections, acts of terrorism, acts of war and public health situations (including the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or any future epidemic or pandemic) may disrupt or curtail our operations or development activities. These may in turn cause production to decline, limit our ability to pursue new opportunities, affect the recoverability of our assets or cause us to incur additional costs, particularly due to the long-term nature of many of our projects and significant capital expenditure required. Events in or relating to Russia, including trade restrictions and other sanctions, could adversely impact our income and investment in or relating to Russia. Our ability to pursue business objectives and to recognize production and reserves relating to these investments could also be adversely impacted. Liquidity, financial capacity and financial, including credit, exposure – failure to work within our financial framework could impact our ability to operate and result in financial loss. Failure to accurately forecast or work within our financial framework could impact our ability to operate and result in financial loss. Trade and other receivables, including overdue receivables, may not be recovered, divestments may not be successfully completed and a substantial and unexpected cash call or funding request could disrupt our financial framework or overwhelm our ability to meet our obligations. Risk factors

BP-20201231_G70.JPG
68 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 An event such as a significant operational incident, legal proceedings or a geopolitical event in an area where we have significant activities, could reduce our financial liquidity and our credit ratings. Credit rating downgrades could potentially increase financing costs and limit access to financing or engagement in our trading activities on acceptable terms, which could put pressure on the group’s liquidity. bp’s credit rating downgrades could also trigger a requirement for the company to review its funding arrangements with the bp pension trustees and may cause other impacts on financial performance. In the event of extended constraints on our ability to obtain financing, we could be required to reduce capital expenditure or increase asset disposals in order to provide additional liquidity. See Liquidity and capital resources on page 306 and Financial statements – Note 29. Joint arrangements and contractors – varying levels of control over the standards, operations and compliance of our partners, contractors and sub-contractors could result in legal liability and reputational damage. We conduct many of our activities through joint arrangements«, associates«or with contractors and sub-contractors where we may have limited influence and control over the performance of such operations. Our partners and contractors are responsible for the adequacy of the resources and capabilities they bring to a project. If these are found to be lacking, there may be financial, operational or safety exposures for bp. Should an incident occur in an operation that bp participates in, our partners and contractors may be unable or unwilling to fully compensate us against costs we may incur on their behalf or on behalf of the arrangement. Where we do not have operational control of a venture, we may still be pursued by regulators or claimants in the event of an incident. Digital infrastructure and cyber security – breach or failure of our or third parties’ digital infrastructure or cyber security, including loss or misuse of sensitive information could damage our operations, increase costs and damage our reputation. The energy industry is subject to fast-evolving risks from cyber threat actors, including nation states, criminals, terrorists, hacktivists and insiders. A breach or failure of our or third parties’ digital infrastructure – including control systems – due to breaches of our cyber defences, or those of third parties, negligence, intentional misconduct or other reasons, could seriously disrupt our operations. This could result in the loss or misuse of data or sensitive information, injury to people, disruption to our business, harm to the environment or our assets, legal or regulatory breaches and legal liability. Furthermore, the rapid detection of attempts to gain unauthorized access to our digital infrastructure, often through the use of sophisticated and co-ordinated means, is a challenge and any delay or failure to detect could compound these potential harms. These could result in significant costs including fines, cost of remediation or reputational consequences. Climate change and the transition to a lower carbon economy – developments in policy, law, regulation, technology and markets, including societal and investor sentiment, related to the issue of climate change could increase costs, constrain our operations and affect our business plans and financial performance. Laws, regulations, policies, obligations, government actions, social attitudes and customer preferences relating to climate change and the transition to a lower carbon economy, including the pace of change to any of these factors, and also the pace of the transition itself, could have adverse impacts on our business including on our access to and realization of competitive opportunities in any of our strategic focus areas, a decline in demand for, or constraints on our ability to sell certain products, constraints on production and supply and access to new reserves, adverse litigation and regulatory or litigation outcomes, increased costs from compliance and increased provisions for environmental and legal liabilities. Investor preferences and sentiment are influenced by environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) considerations including climate change and the transition to a lower carbon economy. Changes in those preferences and sentiment could affect our access to capital markets and our attractiveness to potential investors, potentially resulting in reduced access to financing, increased financing costs and impacts upon our business plans and financial performance. Technological improvements or innovations that support the transition to a lower carbon economy, and customer preferences or regulatory incentives that alter fuel or power choices, could impact demand for oil and gas. Depending on the nature and speed of any such changes and our response, these changes could increase costs, reduce our profitability, reduce demand for certain products, limit our access to new opportunities, require us to write down certain assets or curtail or cease certain operations, and affect investor sentiment, our access to capital markets, our competitiveness and financial performance. Policy, legal regulatory, technological and market developments related to climate change could also affect future price assumptions used in the assessment of recoverability of asset carrying values including goodwill, the judgement as to whether there is continued intent to develop exploration and appraisal intangible assets, the timing of decommissioning of assets and the useful economic lives of assets used for the calculation of depreciation and amortization. See Financial statements – Note 1 and Climate change and the environment on page 52. Risk factors continued

BP-20201231_G71.JPG
69 Strategic report bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Competition – inability to remain efficient, maintain a high-quality portfolio of assets, innovate and retain an appropriately skilled workforce could negatively impact delivery of our strategy in a highly competitive market. Our strategic progress and performance could be impeded if we are unable to control our development and operating costs and margins, if we fail to scale our businesses at pace, or to sustain, develop and operate a high- quality portfolio of assets efficiently. Furthermore, as we transition from an International Oil Company to an Integrated Energy Company, we face an expanded and rapidly evolving range of competitors in the sectors in which we operate. We could be adversely affected if competitors offer superior terms for access rights or licences, or if our innovation in areas such as new low carbon technologies, digital, customer offer, exploration, production, refining, manufacturing or renewable energy lags those of our competitors. Our performance could also be negatively impacted if we fail to protect our intellectual property. Our industry faces increasing challenges to recruit and retain diverse, skilled and experienced talent. Successful recruitment, development and retention of specialist staff is essential to our plans. Crisis management and business continuity – failure to address an incident effectively could potentially disrupt our business. Our business activities could be disrupted if we do not respond, or are perceived not to respond, in an appropriate manner to any major crisis or if we are not able to restore or replace critical operational capacity. Insurance – our insurance strategy could expose the group to material uninsured losses. bp generally purchases insurance only in situations where this is legally and contractually required. Some risks are insured with third parties and reinsured by group insurance companies. Uninsured losses could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, particularly if they arise at a time when we are facing material costs as a result of a significant operational event which could put pressure on our liquidity and cash flows. Safety and operational risks Process safety, personal safety, and environmental risks – exposure to a wide range of health, safety, security and environmental risks could cause harm to people, the environment and our assets and result in regulatory action, legal liability, business interruption, increased costs, damage to our reputation and potentially denial of our licence to operate. Technical integrity failure, natural disasters, extreme weather or a change in its frequency or severity, human error and other adverse events or conditions, including breach of digital security, could lead to loss of containment of hydrocarbons or other hazardous materials. This could also lead to constrained availability of resources used in our operating activities, as well as fires, explosions or other personal and process safety incidents, including when drilling wells, operating facilities and those associated with transportation by road, sea or pipeline. There can be no certainty that our operating management systemor other policies and procedures will adequately identify all process safety, personal safety and environmental risks or that all our operating activities, including acquired businesses, will be conducted in conformance with these systems. See Safety on page 59. Such events or conditions, including a marine incident, or inability to provide safe environments for our workforce and the public while at our facilities, premises or during transportation, could lead to injuries, loss of life or environmental damage. As a result we could face regulatory action and legal liability, including penalties and remediation obligations, increased costs and potentially denial of our licence to operate. Our activities are sometimes conducted in hazardous, remote or environmentally sensitive locations, where the consequences of such events or conditions could be greater than in other locations. Drilling and production – challenging operational environments and other uncertainties could impact drilling and production activities. Our activities require high levels of investment and are sometimes conducted in challenging environments such as those prone to natural disasters and extreme weather, which heightens the risks of technical integrity failure. The physical characteristics of an oil or natural gas field, and cost of drilling, completing or operating wells is often uncertain. We may be required to curtail, delay or cancel drilling operations or stop production because of a variety of factors, including unexpected drilling conditions, pressure or irregularities in geological formations, equipment failures or accidents, adverse weather conditions and compliance with governmental requirements. Security – hostile acts against our staff and activities could cause harm to people and disrupt our operations. Acts of terrorism, piracy, sabotage and similar activities directed against our operations and facilities, pipelines, transportation or digital infrastructure could cause harm to people and severely disrupt operations. Our activities could also be severely affected by conflict, civil strife or political unrest. Product quality – supplying customers with off-specification products could damage our reputation, lead to regulatory action and legal liability, and impact our financial performance. Failure to meet product quality specifications could cause harm to people and the environment, damage our reputation, result in regulatory action and legal liability, and impact financial performance.

BP-20201231_G72.JPG
70 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Risk factors continued Compliance and control risks Ethical misconduct and non-compliance – ethical misconduct or breaches of applicable laws by our businesses or our employees could be damaging to our reputation, and could result in litigation, regulatory action and penalties. Incidents of ethical misconduct or non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including anti-bribery and corruption and anti-fraud laws, trade restrictions or other sanctions, could damage our reputation, and result in litigation, regulatory action, penalties and potentially affect our licence to operate. Regulation – changes in the law and regulation could increase costs, constrain our operations and affect our business plans and financial performance. Our businesses and operations are subject to the laws and regulations applicable in each country, state or other regional or local area in which they occur. These laws and regulations result in an often complex, uncertain and changing legal and regulatory environment for our global businesses and operations. Changes in laws or regulations, including how they are interpreted and enforced, can and does impact all aspects of our business. Royalties and taxes, particularly those applied to our hydrocarbon activities, tend to be high compared with those imposed on similar commercial activities. In certain jurisdictions there is also a degree of uncertainty relating to tax law interpretation and changes. Governments may change their fiscal and regulatory frameworks in response to public pressure on finances, resulting in increased amounts payable to them or their agencies. Changes in law or regulation could increase the compliance and litigation risk and costs, reduce our profitability, reduce demand for or constrain our ability to sell certain products, limit our access to new opportunities, require us to divest or write down certain assets or curtail or cease certain operations, or affect the adequacy of our provisions for pensions, tax, decommissioning, environmental and legal liabilities. Changes in laws or regulations could result in the nationalization, expropriation, cancellation, non-renewal or renegotiation of our interests, assets and related rights. Potential changes to pension or financial market regulation could also impact funding requirements of the group. Following the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, we may be subjected to a higher level of fines or penalties imposed in relation to any alleged breaches of laws or regulations, which could result in increased costs. See Regulation of the group’s business on page 321. Treasury and trading activities – ineffective oversight of treasury and trading activities could lead to business disruption, financial loss, regulatory intervention or damage to our reputation. We are subject to operational risk around our treasury and trading activities in financial and commodity markets, some of which are regulated. Failure to process, manage and monitor a large number of complex transactions across many markets and currencies while complying with all regulatory requirements could hinder profitable trading opportunities. There is a risk that a single trader or a group of traders could act outside of our delegations and controls, leading to regulatory intervention and resulting in financial loss, fines and potentially damaging our reputation. See Financial statements – Note 29. Reporting – failure to accurately report our data could lead to regulatory action, legal liability and reputational damage. External reporting of financial and non-financial data, including reserves estimates, relies on the integrity of the control environment, our systems and people operating them. Failure to report data accurately and in compliance with applicable standards could result in regulatory action, legal liability and damage to our reputation. The Strategic report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf by Ben J. S. Mathews, company secretary, on 22 March 2021.

72 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Introduction from the chairman 2020 tested bp’s governance processes like no other year. Board members, like many colleagues across bp, have achieved and learned a lot together through our new way of working – and there’s much that we will continue. I am grateful for the flexibility, commitment and clear- sightedness of my board colleagues in 2020 – it bodes well for the years ahead. Helge Lund Chairman New strategy As a board, our responsibilities include determining bp’s purpose and strategy, monitoring its culture and seeking assurance that these are aligned with our values. For bp, 2020 was a year in which we felt this responsibility especially keenly. With the board’s support, bp adopted a new purpose – reimagining energy for people and our planet, which aligns bp’s capabilities and aspirations with the needs of society. 2020 was also the year bp’s new CEO, Bernard Looney, commenced his role. As well as formally launching our new purpose, Bernard set out a net zero ambition, new strategy, financial frame and investor proposition. These actions were taken with the full support of the board following a process of careful debate, and the board is confident that they respect bp’s culture and values. The change that was immediately most consequential for many people within bp was a restructure that will see close to 10,000 colleagues leave bp. It was difficult saying goodbye to people who helped make our organization what it is today – and the board was united with the leadership team in determining that the process should be conducted fairly and respectfully. That process is now largely complete, and I believe, as does the board, that bp is now leaner, flatter and nimbler – better able to fulfil our new purpose, ambition and strategy. COVID impact on working of the board Change on this scale would be challenging in any company at any time. So, I want to pay tribute to my board colleagues for their contribution during such a difficult period. It is to their credit that we very quickly adapted to a new way of working together – with our many meetings since March held entirely virtually. Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic justified more regular meetings with bp’s leadership – so early in the pandemic we instituted weekly calls to keep abreast of bp’s response to the pandemic and how the team was taking account of the needs and expectations of all our stakeholders. Maintaining bp’s culture Since joining bp, I have always been impressed at the strength of the company’s culture – open, co-operative, collaborative and performance- focused. Rather than weaken that culture, I believe that the pandemic has strengthened it further – and has proved its value. bp would not have achieved all it did in 2020 without such a strong culture. We have been careful that the changes introduced throughout the year are respectful of it, and consistent with bp’s values of safety, respect, excellence, courage and one team. Board composition In 2020 we welcomed Tushar Morzaria, Karen Richardson and Johannes Teyssen to the board. They each have skills, experience and a diverse mindset that is closely aligned to the strategic direction we have set for bp. We also said goodbye to friends who have served bp with distinction over many years – Nils Andersen, Brian Gilvary, Sir Ian Davis, Dame Alison Carnwath and, of course, Bob Dudley. bp has been fortunate to have them, and we will miss them. I was delighted that Paula Reynolds agreed to take over from Sir Ian Davis as senior independent director following the AGM 2020, and that Melody Meyer was able to take over the important role of chairing the safety and sustainability committee after Nils Andersen stepped down from the board. Tushar Morzaria will take over as chair of the audit committee after the AGM in May, following an extensive handover from Brendan Nelson, who will then retire.

73 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 In the coming year, one of my priorities will be to ensure that the board remains at an appropriate size, with strong composition, and with diversity of both thought and skills in support of the strategic direction we have set. Diversity The process of reinventing bp provided opportunities to enhance bp’s diversity in other ways, too. Though we have more to do in all areas, we have made particular progress on gender diversity at senior levels. In 2020, we increased female board representation from 42% to 45%; increased female executive committee representation from 15% to 31%; and met the Hampton-Alexander and Parker review targets for 2021. New governance framework To complement bp’s new strategic direction, we have introduced a new governance framework, covering bp’s board-level corporate governance and facilitating a stronger board focus on strategy, performance, people and governance, with the committees each playing a critical role in support. The emphasis on strategy and its execution is especially important – I believe it to be where the board can deliver most value at this time, encouraging and working closely with the leadership team as they drive forward our strategic progress, safety, financial and operational performance. The governance framework redefines the committees’ roles. Our newly-titled safety and sustainability committee rightly gains an enhanced focus on sustainability, but with no let-up on our core and overriding priority – safety, while our people and governance committee gains an enhanced focus on our single most important asset – our people. These committees and the insights they provide to the board very much support its effectiveness. Conclusion 2020 tested bp’s governance processes like no other year. Board members, like many colleagues across bp, have achieved and learned a lot together through our new way of working – and there’s much that we will continue. I am grateful for the flexibility, commitment and clear-sightedness of my board colleagues in 2020 – it bodes well for the years ahead. Helge Lund, Chairman 22 March 2021 Compliance with the UK Corporate Governance Code Throughout 2020, bp applied the principles and complied with all the provisions of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code.

80 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Corporate governance Board activities Role of the board bp’s success is dependent upon effective and entrepreneurial leadership by the board, establishing its purpose, strategy and values and doing so within a framework of prudent and effective controls, which enable risks to be assessed and managed. The board is responsible to bp’s owners for promoting the long-term sustainable success of the company, generating value for its shareholders, while having regard to its other stakeholders, the impact of its operations on the communities within which it operates, and the environment. Primary tasks of the board in 2020 included Defining and establishing a new purpose and strategy, while assessing and monitoring whether they were consistent with bp’s culture and values. In light of the significant operational challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, establishing a rhythm of board meetings to ensure that the leadership team was supported, providing guidance to the CEO to ensure that shareholder and other stakeholder interests were taken into account, while maintaining safe and reliable operations. Monitoring the activities and performance of bp’s leadership team, obtaining assurance about the delivery of 2025 and 2030 targets and aims and the sustainability frame within which they operate. Designing and establishing the board’s new corporate governance framework, including the delegations of authority under which it operates. Assessing and monitoring the principal risks and emerging risks of bp, having considered feedback from the committees of the board. Ways of working New ways of working were put in place during 2020 alongside the changes to the design of the board’s corporate governance framework. Meeting agendas were structured along four distinct pillars: strategy, performance, people, and governance, with the overarching focus being on the development of bp’s new strategy in support of its transition to an Integrated Energy Company. The board and its committees met regularly during the year, as well as on an ad hoc basis, as required by business needs. Attendance is shown in the table on page 84. Although the board and its committees were able to hold physical meetings in the early part of the year, once COVID-19-related restrictions and controls were introduced, most meetings took place virtually. Throughout the year, the board and its committees continued to engage effectively through the use of technology. Key areas covered during 2020 under each of these pillars are set out on the next page.

BP-20201231_G83.JPG
81 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Strategy During 2020 the board worked closely with the incoming chief executive officer (CEO) and his leadership team, establishing a new purpose and strategy for bp. bp’s purpose is to reimagine energy for people and our planet, with an ambition to become a net zero company by 2050 or sooner, and to help the world get to net zero. This new purpose recognizes: The world is on an unsustainable path – its carbon budget is running out. Energy markets have begun to shift towards low carbon and renewables. Oil and gas produced safely and efficiently will continue to perform a vital role for the world and our business, but over the longer term, demand for both oil and gas will be challenged. bp can contribute to the energy transition the world wants and needs and create value in doing so. The delivery and execution of the strategy that supports this new purpose is made possible through a resilient financial framework, including a new approach to capital allocation. In 2020 the board determined a new distribution policy, which will support us in facing an increasingly uncertain world, allow us to strengthen the balance sheet, invest in our resilient and valuable hydrocarbons business, and invest adequately into the energy transition. A new distribution policy was approved by the board, comprising a reset and resilient dividend and a firm share buyback commitment, see page 22. Associated with the new strategy, the board also agreed a number of tactical divestments, including the disposal of its petrochemicals business. Alongside this, new business opportunities were progressed, for example the formation of a strategic partnership with Equinor, to develop offshore wind energy in the US, see page 21. Against the backdrop of the board’s activities during 2020 described in this section, the table on pages 82 and 83 sets out some examples of board decision making in 2020 and how the directors have performed their duty under Section 172. Performance The board reviewed project, operational and safety performance throughout the year, as well as the latest view on full-year delivery against plan and the implications for the group’s scorecard measures. Equally, in light of the challenging macro-economic environment facing the sector, the company’s financial performance, liquidity, credit position and associated financial risks were closely and regularly monitored by the board. In this way and through the regular interactions that were taking place during the year, the board was able to satisfy itself that bp was performing while transforming. Reports supplementing the role played by the board included: CEO and chief financial officer (CFO) reports. Group financial outlook. The annual effectiveness of investment review. Quarterly and full-year results. Shareholder distributions. The annual plan and associated capital allocation commitments. On risk oversight, the board, assisted by its committees, also regularly reviewed its principal and emerging risks, including the process through which they are identified, evaluated and managed. Linked to this, the high-priority risks were reviewed in 2020, giving the directors the chance to seek assurance as to how those risks were prioritized and being managed. On internal controls, the board also assessed the effectiveness of the group’s system of internal control and risk management as part of the process through which it reviews and, ultimately, approves the bp Annual Report and Form 20-F. No specific areas of significant deterioration were identified in this assessment. The board concluded that the group’s system of internal control continued to be resilient. The board also concluded that the overall design of the group’s system of internal control generally meets external expectations of components to be included in internal control frameworks. In arriving at these conclusions, the board took into account reports from group risk and internal audit, as well as reviews undertaken by the board and its committees during the year. In conducting reviews during the year, the board and its committees considered the impact of remote working on the control environment, among other key factors. For more information on bp’s system of risk management see How we manage risk on page 64. People The board, through the former nomination and governance committee, continued to focus on reviewing its own composition, skills, experience and diversity, as well as that of the bp leadership team. Ultimately, new board appointments were made during the year, most notably with the retirement of the CEO, Bob Dudley, and CFO, Brian Gilvary, succeeded by Bernard Looney and Murray Auchincloss, respectively. Tushar Morzaria was appointed to the board and its audit committee with effect from September 2020. Karen Richardson and Dr Johannes Teyssen were appointed to the board with effect from 1 January 2021. Johannes was also appointed to the safety and sustainability committee with effect from the same date. A new leadership team under the CEO came into being on 1 July 2020. Through the new people and governance committee, the process for executive succession planning, talent management and development is being redesigned. People insights – particularly the reinvention of bp and its impact on the organization – were presented to the board and this committee by the CEO and EVP, people & culture, providing information on matters relating to people strategy, employee engagement, diversity and people processes and policies. To help inform board discussions and decisions, board members also engaged directly with the workforce in structured events, see page 87. Governance The board established a new corporate governance framework, which is more closely aligned with bp’s new purpose and also reinforces the effectiveness of the internal control framework. For more information on the new corporate governance framework see page 88.

82 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Corporate governance continued Decision making by the board As part of the wider board corporate governance redesign, the board reviewed the delegation of authority, in part reflecting the need to ensure that it remained appropriate in light of bp’s new strategy, and the 2025 and 2030 targets and aims. The board’s new ways of working are explained on page 80 including certain matters that under the new corporate governance framework are reserved for the board as set out in its new terms of reference. The execution of company strategy is undertaken by the CEO’s leadership team, under the day-to-day authority for the management of the company delegated to the CEO. Reflecting its governance responsibilities, the board satisfies itself that the CEO and the leadership team’s actions are in keeping with the direction it sets through receipt of management reports at each board meeting.

Workforce In town halls and leadership meetings employees wanted to know how bp could do more to step up to the climate challenge and help society deal with these issues. It became clear that employees were seeking even stronger commitments to the climate change agenda by the company. Community and environment We consulted with communities, NGOs, academics and industry associations – even bringing some of bp’s harshest critics into discussions about the future of the company, about environment, social and governance matters and the issues facing the world, drawing on their external expertise, input and challenge. Investors We talked with investors about their expectations of bp and heard of their desire for bp to continue to deliver operational excellence, to drive higher returns but also to set out a clear medium to long-term vision for a sustainable bp business in light of the energy transition. Fostering business relationships We received feedback from customers via the bp leadership team, conveying the importance of being able to react rapidly to changing demand. All the elements highlighted in Section 172 were central to the discussions as the board evaluated the purpose and strategy options – what are bp’s beliefs and what does bp want to be? The discussions encompassed bp’s role with respect to its shareholders, employees and society. It considered the value creation opportunities and the importance of leaning into the changing needs of customer demand for convenience and society’s demand for renewables and lower carbon energy. The change in purpose and strategy reflects bp’s people’s belief that we can create long-term value by helping solve one of society’s biggest problems – climate change. The decision was made with the long-term future and sustainability of bp in mind with clear 2025 targets, 2030 aims and a 2050 goal. Reinvent bp The board approved a reorganization of bp, retiring the existing model and replacing it with one that is more focused, more integrated and faces the energy transition head on. The reorganization will ultimately see around 10,000 employees leave bp. The board considered the importance of skills evaluation to the delivery of cost reduction and the wider long-term strategic delivery of bp’s aims. They heard feedback from the CEO’s ‘Keeping Connected’ webcasts with the workforce together with responses to bp’s ‘Pulse’ surveys. Considerations The wider society context following the impact of COVID-19 and the wider oil industry job losses. The importance of putting the safety of employees first. Companies should try to provide job assurance and consider the mental health impact of job insecurity. bp’s reputation for high standards of conduct and the importance of honesty, fairness, and respect in the process. The board supported the reinvention of bp, with the associated headcount reduction that this implied. Given the feedback received, although the board considered it was the right decision to go ahead, they sought assurances from the executive that: The redundancy process was fair, transparent and objective with an environment of honesty, trust and co-operation that put the care and wellbeing of our people at the heart of the process. The reduction in the workforce was conducted in a manner which protected bp’s safe and reliable operations. Support for the life transition that redundancy brings is offered to the relevant employees. Discretionary enhanced redundancy terms could be offered. Financial frame and distribution policy The board approved a new and resilient financial framework, including a coherent approach to capital allocation and a new distribution policy. In considering the proposed financial frame and distribution policy, the board had regard to: The resilience of bp’s balance sheet for the long term. Delivering sustainable value to shareholders. The need for bp to invest adequately in the energy transition and low carbon, to support the new ambition and strategy. In approving the new distribution policy the directors reflected that there may be some change in bp’s investor base as some investors focus more on the short-term direct return that the dividend provides. After considering all the various factors, the board concluded that a resilient dividend intended to remain fixed at 5.25 cents per ordinary share per quarter (subject to the board’s decision each quarter), with a commitment to return at least 60% of surplus cash« to shareholders through share buybacks (having reached $35 billion net debt« and subject to maintaining a strong investment grade credit rating), was in the best interest of the company, its shareholders as a whole and other stakeholder groups, as it enabled bp to offer sustainable value with increased investment in low carbon and non-oil and gas ventures. Matters reserved for the board and section 172 The board delegates authority for the executive management of bp to the chief executive officer, subject to defined limits. Ultimately, the board retains responsibility for – and regularly monitors – the execution of this delegation of authority, taking action to update it as required.

83 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Issue faced and decision taken Section 172(1)a) to (f) matters considered, including stakeholder group(s) affected and feedback received How the board had regard to the feedback in its decision making Establishing a new purpose and strategy for bp The board approved a new purpose for bp – reimagining energy for people and our planet – and a strategy to transition to an Integrated Energy Company and to meet the net zero ambition set out alongside bp’s purpose. Workforce In town halls and leadership meetings employees wanted to know how bp could do more to step up to the climate challenge and help society deal with these issues. It became clear that employees were seeking even stronger commitments to the climate change agenda by the company. Community and environment We consulted with communities, NGOs, academics and industry associations – even bringing some of bp’s harshest critics into discussions about the future of the company, about environment, social and governance matters and the issues facing the world, drawing on their external expertise, input and challenge. Investors We talked with investors about their expectations of bp and heard of their desire for bp to continue to deliver operational excellence, to drive higher returns but also to set out a clear medium to long-term vision for a sustainable bp business in light of the energy transition. Fostering business relationships We received feedback from customers via the bp leadership team, conveying the importance of being able to react rapidly to changing demand. All the elements highlighted in Section 172 were central to the discussions as the board evaluated the purpose and strategy options – what are bp’s beliefs and what does bp want to be? The discussions encompassed bp’s role with respect to its shareholders, employees and society. It considered the value creation opportunities and the importance of leaning into the changing needs of customer demand for convenience and society’s demand for renewables and lower carbon energy. The change in purpose and strategy reflects bp’s people’s belief that we can create long-term value by helping solve one of society’s biggest problems – climate change. The decision was made with the long-term future and sustainability of bp in mind with clear 2025 targets, 2030 aims and a 2050 goal. Reinvent bp The board approved a reorganization of bp, retiring the existing model and replacing it with one that is more focused, more integrated and faces the energy transition head on. The reorganization will ultimately see around 10,000 employees leave bp. The board considered the importance of skills evaluation to the delivery of cost reduction and the wider long-term strategic delivery of bp’s aims. They heard feedback from the CEO’s ‘Keeping Connected’ webcasts with the workforce together with responses to bp’s ‘Pulse’ surveys. Considerations The wider society context following the impact of COVID-19 and the wider oil industry job losses. The importance of putting the safety of employees first. Companies should try to provide job assurance and consider the mental health impact of job insecurity. bp’s reputation for high standards of conduct and the importance of honesty, fairness, and respect in the process. The board supported the reinvention of bp, with the associated headcount reduction that this implied. Given the feedback received, although the board considered it was the right decision to go ahead, they sought assurances from the executive that: The redundancy process was fair, transparent and objective with an environment of honesty, trust and co-operation that put the care and wellbeing of our people at the heart of the process. The reduction in the workforce was conducted in a manner which protected bp’s safe and reliable operations. Support for the life transition that redundancy brings is offered to the relevant employees. Discretionary enhanced redundancy terms could be offered. Financial frame and distribution policy The board approved a new and resilient financial framework, including a coherent approach to capital allocation and a new distribution policy. In considering the proposed financial frame and distribution policy, the board had regard to: The resilience of bp’s balance sheet for the long term. Delivering sustainable value to shareholders. The need for bp to invest adequately in the energy transition and low carbon, to support the new ambition and strategy. In approving the new distribution policy the directors reflected that there may be some change in bp’s investor base as some investors focus more on the short-term direct return that the dividend provides. After considering all the various factors, the board concluded that a resilient dividend intended to remain fixed at 5.25 cents per ordinary share per quarter (subject to the board’s decision each quarter), with a commitment to return at least 60% of surplus cash« to shareholders through share buybacks (having reached $35 billion net debt« and subject to maintaining a strong investment grade credit rating), was in the best interest of the company, its shareholders as a whole and other stakeholder groups, as it enabled bp to offer sustainable value with increased investment in low carbon and non-oil and gas ventures. In the context of the board’s activities during 2020, the table below sets out some examples of board decision making in 2020 and how the directors have performed their duty under Section 172.

BP-20201231_G86.JPG
84 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Corporate governance continued Independence Non-executive directors (NEDs) are expected to exercise independent judgement and to be free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with it. This independence is crucial in bringing constructive challenge to the CEO and the leadership team at board meetings, while providing support and guidance to promote meaningful discussion and, ultimately, informed and effective decision making. The board regularly reviews the independence of its NEDs, as advised by the company secretary, and takes action to identify and manage conflicts of interests, including those that may arise from significant shareholdings. This process helps to ensure that the influence of third parties does not compromise or override independent judgement. Directors are required to provide sufficient information to allow the board to evaluate their independence prior to and following their appointment. As a consequence of regular reviews throughout the year, the board has satisfied itself that there were no matters giving rise to any conflict of interests or which compromised the independence of the NEDs. It has therefore concluded that all bp NEDs are independent. Professor Dame Ann Dowling continues to serve on the board notwithstanding that she has served beyond nine years as a NED. Following careful consideration, the board believes that Ann continues to provide constructive challenge and robust scrutiny of matters that come before the board and the committee on which she serves. She has only served with the current executive directors for a year and the overall average tenure of the board is below the FTSE 100 average. In addition, in 2018 the board undertook significant refreshment of its composition. Accordingly, the board is satisfied that Ann continues to demonstrate the qualities of independence in carrying out her duties. Appointment and time commitment The chairman, senior independent director and other NEDs each have letters of appointment and do not serve, nor are they employed, in any executive capacity. There is no fixed term limit on a director’s service; however, in line with good governance practice, bp proposes all directors for annual re-election by shareholders. Unlike the chairman’s letter of appointment, the NEDs’ letters of appointment do not set a fixed time commitment. NEDs are expected to allocate appropriate time to effectively discharge their duties. The time required of NEDs fluctuates depending on the demands of bp business and other events. The COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the oversight by the board of the energy transition and associated workload, required the NEDs to spend considerably more time fulfilling their responsibilities towards bp during 2020, than in previous years. This included NEDs dedicating additional time through regular calls with the leadership team to remain informed and help guide the executive through unprecedented times. The NEDs’ external time commitments are regularly reviewed, ensuring that, even in the exceptional circumstances of a global pandemic, the NEDs are able to allocate appropriate time to bp. The review process is managed by the company secretary, considering NEDs’ outside appointments and commitments, including relevant factors such as complexity of company and industry, in particular highly regulated sectors, and issues impacting these other companies. The board has concluded that, notwithstanding the NEDs’ other appointments, they are each able to dedicate sufficient time to fulfil their bp duties. Executive directors are normally permitted to take up one board appointment at an external company, subject to the agreement of the chairman and after consultation with the company secretary. Bernard Looney and Murray Auchincloss each hold one non-executive directorship, shown on page 74. Prior to retiring from the board in June 2020, Brian Gilvary undertook a role as NED of Barclays PLC, in addition to his NED role with L’Air Liquide S.A.. Following consideration, it was concluded that Brian’s two external appointments were unlikely to be detrimental to his ability to perform his duties as outgoing CFO. Diversity At a time of significant change across the sector, and with bp transitioning to become an Integrated Energy Company, diversity of thought is as important as ever. Our purpose, to reimagine energy for people and our planet, can only be achieved through collaboration, innovation and constructive challenge that derives from having a diverse and inclusive workplace. The board understands and advocates that better decisions and outcomes are achieved when different people, with differences of opinions, from different backgrounds, come together with a common ambition. We recognize that diversity can take many forms, whether it be gender, social or ethnic backgrounds, personal identities, age, religion, physical abilities and more. All of which promote diversity of thought and reduce the risk of group think. The board has, and continues to have, regard to all these forms of diversity in respect of its processes including both its appointments and succession plans. The board and leadership team believe in leading by example and are pleased to have met the Hampton-Alexander and Parker review targets for 2021. At the end of 2020 the board comprised five female directors, representing 45% of the board (2019 42%, 2018 35%). Karen Richardson and Johannes Teyssen joined the board on 1 January 2021. Dame Alison Carnwath stepped down from the board on 14 January 2021. As previously announced, Brendan Nelson will be stepping down from the board at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM. The board is pleased that Tushar Morzaria, a Ugandan-born British national, joined in September 2020. He will succeed Brendan Nelson as audit committee chair following the 2021 AGM. Our senior management, as defined by the Corporate Governance Code 2018, and their direct reports comprise 43% women (2019 38%) and 25% Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) individuals (2019 18%). While bp continues to benefit from the wide array of perspective and vision in decision-making processes and the company culture continues to strengthen through mitigation of group think, bp will continue to strive for increased diversity across its workforce, leadership team and board. For more information on our workforce diversity and inclusion see page 57.

86 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Corporate governance continued How the board has engaged with shareholders, the workforce and other stakeholders Retail investors In May we held our annual event for retail investors in conjunction with the UK Shareholders’ Association (UKSA) and the UK Individual Shareholders Society. For the first time this event was held virtually. The chairman, company secretary and head of investor relations gave presentations on bp’s annual results, strategy and the work of the board. Shareholders’ questions were primarily focused on bp’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, bp’s sustainability strategy and financial performance. AGM In common with the practice adopted by many UK quoted companies, the 2020 AGM was held as a ‘closed’ meeting, with a minimum quorum present, in line with government rules at the time. Shareholders were invited to submit questions to the board before the meeting, all of which were addressed, and the event was broadcast live via webcast on bp.com. As expected, voting levels saw a slight decrease with the pandemic and stay-at-home orders disrupting shareholder voting. The overall turnout was 62.1% of the total voting rights, including votes cast as withheld, compared to 67.1% in 2019 and 67.3% in 2018. All resolutions passed at the meeting in line with the board’s recommendations. At the date of this report, measures put in place by the UK government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic preclude bp from holding an AGM in person. In these exceptional circumstances, bp’s 2021 AGM is planned to be a hybrid meeting. Shareholders will not be permitted to attend the meeting in person, but will be able to participate via bp’s electronic meeting platform. Institutional investors We regularly engage with our institutional shareholders through an active investor relations programme. COVID-19 has meant that this engagement had to move online for the majority of 2020. The pinnacle of this virtual engagement was bp week in September 2020, led by Bernard Looney and members of his leadership team. The team innovatively engaged with shareholders giving detailed insights into bp’s new strategy and the 2025 and 2030 targets and aims. This engagement was also deliberately structured to allow for the increasingly important ESG constituency to be consulted in determining the targets and aims, including the overlay of the new sustainability frame in support of the new strategy. The board receives feedback from shareholders in many ways, particularly through the chairman and leadership team who meet with investors throughout the year. Numerous one-to-one meetings with major institutional investors and proxy advisory groups were hosted by the chairman in 2020. These engagements generated much insightful feedback which was shared with other board members and committees with due regard being given to these views. A similar programme of engagement on matters relating to the 2020 directors’ remuneration policy that was approved by shareholders at the AGM was undertaken during the year, led by the chair of the remuneration committee and senior independent director, Paula Reynolds. More details about this engagement are set out in the 2020 directors’ remuneration report on page 103. The board will continue to monitor developments in UK government guidance relating to the COVID-19 situation. If circumstances change materially before the date of the AGM, the board may decide to adapt proposed arrangements.

87 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Workforce 2020 engagement We believe an engaged workforce is critical to us successfully delivering our strategy. When we talk about bp’s workforce, we include a wide range of employees, contractors, agency and remote workers across all of our geographical locations. The board is responsible for overseeing and monitoring bp’s culture and its values. This extends to putting in place mechanisms allowing for workforce views to be reflected in board discussion and decision making, complementing existing mechanisms that are established by the leadership team. Such measures include employees being informed on matters of concern to them through bp’s intranet and local sites, social media channels, town halls, site visits and webinars including topics such as quarterly results, strategy, the low carbon transition and diversity. We also have a number of employee-led forums and business resource groups (BRGs) and aim to build constructive relationships with labour unions formally representing some employees. Employees are consulted on a regular basis through regular team and one-to-one meetings and through our annual ‘Pulse’ survey. The board believes that the approaches and mechanisms described under Site visits, below, enabled effective engagement opportunities with the bp workforce. The board is satisfied that during 2020, these were effective alternatives to the proposed workforce engagement methods set out in Provision 5 of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the Code). Future of workforce engagement As part of its broader review of bp’s corporate governance framework, the board discussed whether its current approach to workforce engagement continues to be the most effective mechanism to inform its discussions and the decisions that it takes. Building on the experience that we have had, and the innovative approaches that were taken to workforce engagement through 2020, the board has sought to create a more rigorous framework so that there is clear channel through which the insights emerging from this engagement process will be consolidated and considered in board discussions and decision making. The board also considered the significant changes to the workforce following reinvent bp and bp’s wide geographic spread and size. Taking all these factors into account, the board concluded that for 2021 workforce engagement is best overseen by the newly constituted people and governance committee. A regular programme of engagement has been developed. Some sessions have a specific engagement purpose while others will simply be an open opportunity to hear views, interests, ideas and concerns. It is intended that a number of these sessions will have no line managers to allow for an unconstrained exchange of views. Engagement locations will be varied across our global operations. Alongside this programme, the ‘Pulse’ surveys, bp ‘Keeping Connected’ sessions, site visits (even if virtual) and the chairman’s programme of attendance at selected small team sessions will continue. The board believes the existing approaches and mechanisms described above enable comprehensive two-way engagement opportunities with bp’s workforce, and as such, is satisfied that these are effective alternatives to the proposed workforce engagement methods set out in Provision 5 of the Code. Looking beyond 2021 the board will continue to assess the effectiveness of its engagement with the workforce and how ultimately this informs the decisions that it takes, including the options provided for in the Code, for example appointing a director from the workforce. CEO ‘Keeping Connected’ webcasts During 2020 restrictions associated with COVID-19 disrupted planned opportunities for the board to engage with the bp workforce in person. As a result, most engagements were conducted virtually. Virtual engagements Our CEO Bernard Looney hosted a series of webcasts featuring guests from across the organization to discuss a range of topics throughout the year, including bp’s new purpose, safety, mental health, and reinventing bp. Helge Lund, chairman of the board, joined the CEO as a speaker on two of these webcasts and non-executive directors were also invited to listen in. >12,500 average viewers per webcast Business resource groups and focus groups Non-executive directors engaged virtually with employees in BRGs and focus groups throughout the year, including virtual events organized by the Women in Wells, Future Talent and One Young World alumni forums. Through these engagements the directors heard directly from employees on a range of topics, including bp’s new purpose and strategy, employee sentiment – particularly during the reorganization of bp – the impact of COVID-19 on operations and wellbeing, diversity and career progression. Virtual site visits The audit committee conducted a virtual visit and tour of bp’s trading floors in London and Houston and a majority of our non-executive directors attended a virtual visit of bpx energy’s Permian assets, led by the safety, environment and security assurance committee. During these visits, directors heard directly from the workforce regarding their perceptions of bp’s new strategy and how these businesses planned to implement it, as well as deepening their understanding of businesses and functions within bp.

BP-20201231_G90.JPG
88 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Corporate governance continued We completely redesigned the bp corporate governance framework in 2020, to more closely align with bp’s new purpose – reimagining energy for people and our planet – as well as our new strategy. The framework defines the board’s role, to promote the long-term sustainable success of the company, generating value for its shareholders while having regard to its other stakeholders, the impact of its operations on the communities within which it operates and the environment. The review had three main strands: 1. The role and purpose of the board The bp board believes that in order for governance to be effective it needs to have a regular review process across purpose, strategy, culture and values, while maintaining oversight of performance. Clearly defined terms of reference for the board were established together with a roadmap of activity that reflects those issues the board consider most important. The board terms of reference identify certain matters that are considered to be of such materiality at a group level that they are reserved for approval by the whole board and cannot be delegated. The matters reserved include, among others, certain investments, entry into new countries, changes to the company’s capital structure, distributions and bp’s code of conduct. The full list is available on bp.com/governance. Governance framework governance and performance oversight Board Purpose Considers bp’s purpose, which underpins its decision making. Monitors whether bp’s strategy, values and culture remain in line with that purpose. Strategy Receives regular updates to test that the strategy and strategic direction established by the board continue to be the right approach for the long-term sustainable success of bp in line with its purpose. Approves the annual plan and regularly monitors that it is aligned with the approved strategy, including reviewing business development, investment effectiveness and capita allocation. Conducts deep dives across each of the business groups and key strategic areas. Receives regular updates on progress towards the aims and objectives in the sustainability frame. Culture Reviews the ambition and aims of the people plan and in so doing assesses and monitors any impact on culture so as to satisfy itself that bp’s purpose, strategy and values continue to be aligned with its culture. Through the people and governance committee, reviews work on bp’s ways of working (including integration, agility, wellbeing, workplace, inclusion and digital). Values The board monitors bp’s values, ensuring that they are appropriate as the leadership team focuses on the execution of the new strategy.

89 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 2. Committees A review of the board committees looking at their purpose, scope and authority with a focus on: Fit with the strategic direction of the bp board. Risk and allocation of the review of risk. Alignment with the new leadership structure to give clear oversight. The new committee structure under the board is depicted in the diagram (right) and described below. The nomination and governance committee was renamed the people and governance committee to reflect its wider remit in covering workforce engagement, wellbeing and talent management. The safety, environment and security assurance committee was renamed the safety and sustainability committee. Its remit has been widened to include monitoring the effectiveness of implementation of bp’s sustainability frame, see page 48. This is an important step in light of bp’s new purpose and ambition. The other permanent committees – remuneration and audit – will remain. The results committee (comprising the chairman, CEO and chief financial officer (CFO)) also remains with delegated authority from the board to approve and authorize the release of the periodic financial statements and dividend announcements. The geopolitical committee has been replaced by a geopolitical advisory council rather than a board committee. It is attended by members of the board and the executive together with advisors who give a wider external view. The geopolitical highest priority risk is overseen at the board. Each of the four permanent committees has new terms of reference, adopted from 1 January 2021, to set out their role and responsibilities in a clear mandate, which can be found on bp.com/governance. The board will continue to review its framework annually to satisfy itself that it continues to be best aligned to bp’s purpose and strategy. 3. New ways of working The board’s corporate governance review extended to documenting the responsibilities of the chairman, the CEO and the senior independent director so that their respective roles are clear both internally and to our external stakeholders. These are available on bp.com/governance. The board delegates day-to-day management of the business of the company to the CEO. This includes accountability to oversee the implementation of a comprehensive system of internal controls that are designed to, among other things, identify and manage the risks that are material to bp. The board continues to perform its oversight role and monitor bp’s performance. This responsibility extends to monitoring bp’s management and operations and obtaining assurance about the delivery of its strategy, and to oversee bp’s internal control and risk management frameworks. The chairman holds meetings without executive directors present at the start or end of board meetings. The CEO is responsible for maintaining a dialogue with the chairman and the board on important and strategic issues facing bp. Strategic opportunities or issues which may arise, or which are on the CEO’s mind, are discussed at board meetings and the CEO welcomes constructive challenge from non-executive directors in light of their wider experience outside bp. The changes to bp’s purpose and strategy this year and bp’s journey towards becoming an Integrated Energy Company have given rise to the need for greater visibility on the decision- making criteria for capital expenditure and new business transactions. Accordingly, the board spends time examining and discussing the impact of portfolio changes such as strategic acquisitions and the allocation of capital, along with the annual plan, in order to gain a clear understanding of the methodology of capital allocation. The board reviews capital investments that are more than $3 billion for resilient hydrocarbons, more than $1 billion for all transition or low carbon investments and, in addition, any significant inorganic acquisition that is exceptional or unique in nature. Clear information flows have been established between the board and the leadership team. This allows greater time at board meetings to focus on strategic and people topics, enabling a fuller understanding and quality discussion of the challenges to deliver our new strategy.

A formal and comprehensive induction is provided to all directors following their appointment. This includes meetings with management, technical briefings and site visits. Learning, development and induction Corporate governance continued Tushar Morzaria, appointed on 1 September 2020, undertook a tailored and robust induction against the challenging backdrop of COVID-19. The programme was adapted to accommodate the inability to participate in physical meetings and site visits. Digital solutions were therefore deployed to facilitate Tushar’s induction. Tushar looks forward to continuing his introduction to bp’s operations and learning more about the business and its people. The programme included meetings with a wide range of senior management within bp, the external auditor and other key advisors. A selection of these and the areas of focus are outlined below.

91 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 There is also a triennial requirement for this evaluation to be externally facilitated which will next fall due in 2021. The 2019 board evaluation highlighted three specific areas for action in 2020: Focus area Action taken Review the skills, experience and diversity of the board, and the process for executive succession planning and talent management and development. The board skills matrix was used to focus NED recruitment and we have successfully recruited three NEDs with strong experience in areas which will complement and support bp’s new strategy and provide diversity of thought. The board, through the former nomination and governance committee, heard regular updates on the selection process and criteria for the bp leadership team and the next layer of leadership with a focus on building a future succession pipeline and the skills needed to drive the execution of bp’s new strategy. Satisfy itself that every member of the board has a deeper understanding of the board’s role in determining bp’s capital allocation process and in enabling more effective decision making. The board and leadership team have developed a process for greater visibility of capital allocation at the board and evaluated the methodology of capital allocation. Capital allocation above agreed thresholds is now a matter reserved for the board. Redesign bp’s corporate governance framework, reinforcing the effectiveness of this control framework so that it is more closely aligned with bp’s new purpose and strategy. The board governance framework and ways of working were redesigned, details of which can be found on page 88. The 2020 board evaluation was an internal review. The chairman spoke with each director individually. The company secretary facilitated a theme-based review including, among other matters, portfolio management, the impact of the new board agenda, the evolution of bp’s purpose, strategy and values, stakeholder engagement and people matters. The review also looked at the composition and diversity of the board and how effectively the directors work together. In early 2021, the board held a special meeting to discuss the feedback, focusing on strategic and operational oversight, board development and maintaining a dynamic and flexible approach to board and committee agendas. An action plan for areas of focus was agreed. Following this meeting, the senior independent director led a meeting with the non-executive directors without the chairman present to appraise his performance. The directors expressed their strong support for the continued leadership shown by the chairman. Board evaluation Each year bp completes a formal and rigorous annual evaluation of the performance of the board, its committees, the chairman and individual directors.

92 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Corporate governance continued People and governance committee The committee focused on identifying candidates who would enhance the strategic discussion in the boardroom and add to the diversity, skills and experience required as bp transitions to an IEC. Helge Lund Committee chair Chair’s introduction I am pleased to present my report as chair of the people and governance committee. During 2020, the committee reviewed the composition of the board and, with the new purpose and strategy in mind, focused on identifying candidates who would enhance the strategic discussion in the boardroom and add to the diversity, skills and experience required as bp transitions to an Integrated Energy Company. We discussed and guided the development of the new board governance framework to satisfy ourselves that bp continues to maintain the highest standards of governance and we reviewed bp’s workforce engagement mechanism options in order to make a clear recommendation to the board. As part of the governance review, the committee was renamed as the people and governance committee with effect from 1 January 2021 to reflect its wider remit in covering workforce engagement, wellbeing and talent management. Looking to 2021, the committee agenda has been restructured to cover four matters: talent and capability, diversity and inclusion, engagement and culture and governance. Under that umbrella, we will oversee workforce engagement, engage an external provider for board effectiveness and continue to look at succession, leadership, talent, diversity and culture matters. Helge Lund Committee chair Committee overview Role of the committee The people and governance committee (previously called the nomination and governance committee, until 31 December 2020) seeks to ensure an orderly succession of candidates for directors, the company secretary and senior executives and oversees corporate governance matters for the group. Key responsibilities Identify, evaluate and recommend candidates for appointment or reappointment as directors. Identify, evaluate and recommend candidates for appointment as company secretary. Review the mix of knowledge, skills, experience and diversity of the board for the orderly succession of directors. Review the outside directorships/commitments of the non-executive directors (NEDs). Review developments in law, regulation and best practice relating to corporate governance and make recommendations to the board on appropriate action, including on environmental, social and governance matters. Meetings and attendance The committee met seven times in 2020. All members attended each meeting with the exception of Brendan Nelson who missed one meeting owing to a prior commitment.

93 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Activities during the year Reflecting its role in respect of board succession planning, early in 2020, the committee’s priority was to identify new non-executive directors to succeed two of the longer-serving members of the board – Sir Ian Davis and Brendan Nelson. Candidates were sought with the technical and professional skills to take on certain committee responsibilities, including in particular the chairmanship of the audit committee, plus also candidates who would be able to support the chair of the board as the senior independent director. These characteristics were broadened so as to identify candidates who would also enhance the strategic discussion in the boardroom. External headhunters were engaged to support the process and identify candidates. These headhunters had no other connection to the company or its directors during the year. The search process led to the appointment of Tushar Morzaria in September 2020 and, from among the existing board members, Paula Reynolds as the senior independent director. Each of these appointments was considered to fulfil the search criteria, including the succession of the audit committee chairmanship. The committee also agreed new search categories for other NED candidates, broadly covering the areas of digital/technology and energy, reflecting the strategic shift of bp to become an Integrated Energy Company and the dependency on digital as an enabler to transform companies. Karen Richardson and Johannes Teyssen together bring extensive financial, technological, transformation and energy industry experience to the board. Planning for new board members to help ensure a strong focus on strategic execution, safety and sustainability and connectivity to bp’s core businesses and markets continues. Committee meetings in 2020 included updates and discussions on the redesign of bp’s corporate governance framework, more details of which are set out on page 88. The committee received regular updates and challenged management on the reinvent bp proposals including the scale of the redundancies, the methodology associated with the selection process and details of the process controls and management of change to satisfy itself that safety would be maintained and a respectful process completed. The committee heard detailed considerations on the workforce engagement mechanism options and discussed the benefits and issues of each option presented in order to make a recommendation to the board for 2021.

95 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Chair’s introduction I am pleased to introduce the report on the audit committee’s activities during the year. During the year, the committee has continued to assist the board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, by monitoring the integrity of the group’s financial reporting and risk management systems, and also by challenging management and external auditors across a number of key areas of focus, including key accounting judgements and control issues. In addition to the routine committee agenda for the year, the committee was particularly focused on the impacts of bp’s reorganization and the COVID-19 pandemic on financial performance, the financial control environment and resilience. I welcome the addition of Tushar Morzaria to the committee from September 2020. His broad financial experience is immensely beneficial to the committee and bp. Following year end, Dame Alison Carnwath stepped down from the committee and the board. I would like to thank her for her diligent contribution to the committee over the years. This is my last report as chair of the audit committee. I would like to thank my board and committee colleagues, as well as management, for the open, challenging and constructive nature of discussions we have conducted during my tenure. As I hand over the committee chair to Tushar in May 2021, I remain confident that bp is well-positioned for continued resilience and success. Brendan Nelson Committee chair Activities during the year How the committee reviewed financial disclosure The committee reviewed the quarterly, half-year and annual financial statements with management, focusing on the: Integrity of the group’s financial reporting process. Clarity of disclosure. Compliance with relevant legal and financial reporting standards. Application of accounting policies and judgements. As part of its review, the committee received regular updates from management and the external auditor in relation to accounting judgements and estimates, including those relating to recoverability of asset carrying values. The committee keeps under review the frequency of results reporting during the year. In considering the bp Annual Report and Form 20-F, the committee assessed whether the report was fair, balanced and understandable and also whether it provided the information necessary for shareholders to assess the group’s position and performance, business model and strategy. In making this assessment, the committee examined disclosures during the year, discussed the requirement with senior management, confirmed that representations to the external auditors had been evidenced and reviewed reports relating to internal control over financial reporting. The committee made a recommendation to the board, who in turn reviewed the report as a whole, confirmed the assessment and approved the report’s publication. How accounting judgements and estimates were considered and addressed The committee was briefed on a quarterly basis in 2020 on the group’s key accounting judgements and estimates. The primary areas of judgement and estimation which were considered by the committee are set out below. These areas were discussed with management and the external auditor throughout the year and during the preparation of these financial statements. The committee is satisfied that the financial statements appropriately address the key accounting judgements and estimates both in respect of the amounts reported and disclosures made. During the year, the committee also considered and approved a change to bp’s accounting policy relating to physically settled commodity contracts, with effect from 1 January 2021. The committee’s process for considering key accounting judgements and estimates included an assessment of matters at various stages during the year. This primarily included the key accounting judgements and estimates set out on pages 98 and 99. The committee also considered and addressed key accounting estimates and judgements relating to provisions, pensions and other post-retirement benefits, and supplier financing arrangements via briefings and review of the group’s assumptions. See Notes 23, 24 and 29 respectively for further information.

96 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Corporate governance continued How risks were reviewed The principal risks allocated to the audit committee for monitoring in 2020 included those associated with: Trading activities: including risks arising from shortcomings or failures in systems, risk management methodology, internal control processes or employees. In reviewing this risk, the committee focused on external market developments and how bp’s trading function had responded to a rapidly changing environment, including enhancing its control environment policies to strengthen its compliance and control culture. The committee further considered updates in the trading and shipping function’s risk management programme, including compliance with regulatory developments, activities in response to cyber threats, and efficiencies derived from more collaborative ways of working across group functions and businesses and the use of digital technologies. The committee also considered the impact of COVID-19 on operations and the control environment associated with trading activities, with particular reference to operational considerations associated with increased remote working. Compliance with business and regulations: including ethical misconduct or breaches of applicable laws or regulations that could damage bp’s reputation, adversely affect operational results and/or shareholder value and potentially affect bp’s licence to operate. The committee reviewed the group’s programme on controls and contingencies for managing this risk, including enhanced approaches to monitor the risk in light of business evolution (such as an increase in venturing), as well as other internal and external trends. Cyber security risk: including inappropriate access to or misuse of information and systems and disruption of business activity. The committee reviewed ongoing developments in the cyber security landscape, including events in the oil and gas industry and within bp itself. The review focused on a strengthened approach in order to manage the ever-increasing threat of cyber risk and maintain cyber security, as the focus on a digital transformation across bp continues. Financial liquidity: including the risk associated with external market conditions, supply and demand and prices achieved for bp’s products which could impact financial performance. The committee reviewed the key assumptions and underlying judgements used to manage the group’s liquidity and capital investments (including appraisal, effectiveness and efficiency). How other reviews were undertaken Other reviews undertaken in 2020 by the committee included the following, and in each case where the committee received segment and function reviews, each reported on strategy, performance, capability and risk management as well as on their first, second and third lines of defence policies as appropriate: Information technology and services: including the functions performance, strategy and optimization of core services to enable the digitization and modernization of bp at pace. bp ventures and Launchpad: including the purpose, capabilities, operating model, governance and performance of these entities. Reinvent bp programme: including a review of programme milestones and risks, as well as business continuity and management of change. Tax: including strategy, performance, key drivers of the group’s effective tax rate, the global indirect tax environment, the tax modernization programme and the evolving approach to management of key risks. The committee also reviewed bp’s tax transparency report. Internal audit functional review: including a five-year plan for the function in a reinvented bp. Trading and shipping: including strategy, performance, capability and risk management. Effectiveness of investment: annual review of performance of projects with sanctioned capital over a certain threshold. Internal controls: assessments of management’s plans to remediate the external auditor’s control findings. How internal control and risk management was assessed Internal audit The committee received quarterly reports on the findings of internal audit in 2020, including their assessment of issues raised in previous years, especially those relating to IT access controls. The committee also received a report from internal audit on their annual review of the system of internal control and risk management. The committee met privately with the SVP, internal audit and key members of his leadership team. The committee continued to monitor and review the effectiveness and capabilities of internal audit during the year. During the year, the committee received a report on the findings of an assessment conducted by internal audit of its conformance with the Internal Audit Code of Practice which was published in January 2020. The committee noted that internal audit conforms with the vast majority of recommendations set out in the code. Actions to achieve full conformance with the code were also noted. Training and briefings The committee considered market updates and developments throughout the year. This included technical accounting updates from the SVP accounting reporting control on developments in financial reporting and accounting policy, as well as on accounting and disclosure changes that would be introduced as a result of the reorganization of the group. The committee also received briefings on specific topics, including non-operated joint ventures, and data analytics used by the external auditor. Site visit during the year In October 2020, the committee conducted a virtual visit of the trading & shipping function, including virtual presentations from the trading floor, covering low carbon trading, global power and global crude. Key areas of discussion during this site visit included the impacts of oil price volatility, COVID-19 and the reinvent bp programme on the business and its operations during 2020.

97 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 FRC thematic review The bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2019 was included in the FRC’s sample for its limited scope thematic review on reporting on the impact of climate change. bp subsequently received a letter request for information from the FRC’s Corporate Reporting Review team. The audit committee considered the letter and bp’s detailed response thereto, which enabled the FRC to close its enquiries. The committee notes the further enhancements made to disclosures in relation to climate change and the energy transition in this annual report. An FRC review provides no assurance that bp’s Annual Report 2019 was correct in all material respects. The FRC’s role was not to verify the information provided but to consider compliance with reporting requirements. Its letters are written on the basis that the FRC (which includes the FRC’s officers, employees and agents) accepts no liability for reliance on them by bp or any third party, including but not limited to investors and shareholders. External audit How the committee assessed audit risk The external auditor set out its audit plan for 2020, identifying significant audit risks to be addressed during the course of the audit. These included: Impairment of upstream oil and gas property, plant and equipment. Impairment of exploration and appraisal assets. Accounting for structured commodity transactions. Valuation of level 3 instruments in trading and shipping revenue recognition. Management override of controls. The committee received updates during the year on the audit process, including how the auditor had challenged the group’s assumptions on these issues. How the committee assessed audit fees The audit committee reviews the fee structure, resourcing and terms of engagement for the external auditor annually; in addition it reviews the non-audit services that the auditor provides to the group on a quarterly basis. Fees paid to the external auditor for the year were $54 million (2019 $49 million), of which 1.9% was for non-audit and other assurance services (see Financial statements – Note 36). The audit committee is satisfied that this level of fee is appropriate in respect of the audit services provided and that an effective audit can be conducted for this fee. Non-audit or non-audit related assurance fees were $1 million (2019 $1 million). Non-audit or non-audit related services consisted of other assurance services. How the committee assessed audit effectiveness Management undertook a survey which comprised questions across the following: (i) The main criteria to measure the auditor’s performance were: – Robustness of the audit process – Independence and objectivity – Quality of delivery – Quality of people and service (ii) bp’s commitment to the audit; and (iii) Aligned audit approach – which sought to measure progress against the commitments from the audit tender. Year on year, the overall score from the survey increased by +3%. Improvements were seen across audit effectiveness and service quality, including a number areas of focus that had been identified in the previous survey. The committee also held private meetings with the external auditor during the year and the committee chair met separately with the external auditor and group head of audit at least quarterly. The effectiveness of the external auditor is evaluated by the audit committee. The committee assessed the auditor’s approach to providing audit services. On the basis of such assessment, the committee concluded that the audit team was providing the required quality in relation to the provision of the services. The audit team had shown the necessary commitment and ability to provide the services together with a demonstrable depth of knowledge, robustness, independence and objectivity as well as an appreciation of complex issues. The team had posed constructive challenge to management where appropriate. How the auditor reappointment and independence was assessed The committee considers the reappointment of the external auditor each year before making a recommendation to the board. The committee assesses the independence of the external auditor on an ongoing basis and the external auditor is required to rotate the lead audit partner every five years and other senior audit staff every five to seven years. No partners or senior staff associated with the bp audit may transfer to the group. How the committee had oversight of non-audit services The audit committee is responsible for bp’s policy on non-audit services and the approval of non-audit services. Audit objectivity and independence is safeguarded through the prohibition of non-audit tax services and the limitation of audit-related work which falls within defined categories. bp’s policy on non-audit services states that the auditor may not perform non-audit services that are prohibited by the SEC, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) and the UK Financial Reporting Council (FRC). The audit committee approves the terms of all audit services as well as permitted audit-related and non-audit services in advance. The external auditor is considered for permitted non-audit services only when its expertise and experience of bp is important. Approvals for individual engagements of pre-approved permitted services below certain thresholds are delegated to the SVP accounting reporting control or the chief financial officer. Any proposed service not included in the permitted services categories must be approved in advance either by the audit committee chair or the audit committee before engagement commences. The audit committee, chief financial officer and SVP accounting reporting control monitor overall compliance with bp’s policy on audit-related and non-audit services, including whether the necessary pre-approvals have been obtained. The categories of permitted and pre-approved services are outlined in principal accountant’s fees and services on page 327.

98 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Corporate governance continued Examples of how accounting judgements and estimates were considered and addressed Key judgements and estimates in financial report Exploration and appraisal intangible assets Recoverability of asset carrying values Impact of climate change and the energy transition Audit committee activity Conclusions/outcomes bp uses technical and commercial judgements when accounting for oil and gas exploration, appraisal and development expenditure. Judgement is required to determine whether it is appropriate to continue to carry intangible assets related to exploration costs on the balance sheet. Determination as to whether and how much an asset, cash generating unit (CGU) or group of CGUs containing goodwill is impaired involves management judgement and estimates on uncertain matters such as future commodity prices, discount rates, production profiles, reserves and the impact of inflation on operating expenses. Reserves estimates based on management’s assumptions for future commodity prices have a direct impact on the assessment of the recoverability of asset carrying values reported in the financial statements. Climate change and the transition to a lower carbon economy may have significant impacts on the currently reported amounts of the group’s assets and liabilities and on similar assets and liabilities that may be recognized in the future. Judgemental aspects of oil and gas accounting are reviewed routinely in bp’s quarterly due diligence process. Received the output of management’s annual intangible asset certification process used to verify that accounting criteria to continue to carry the exploration intangible balance are met. Reviewed policy and guidelines for compliance with oil and gas reserves disclosure regulation, including the group’s reserves governance framework and controls. Reviewed the group’s oil and gas price assumptions. Reviewed the group’s discount rates for impairment testing purposes. Upstream impairment charges, reversals and ‘watch-list’ items were reviewed as part of the quarterly due diligence process. Reviewed management’s best estimate of oil and natural gas price assumptions for value-in-use impairment testing. Reviewed management’s assessment of recoverability of exploration intangibles. Received briefings on decommissioning provisions. Significant exploration write-offs were recognized during the year (as disclosed in Note 8). Exploration intangibles totalled $4.1 billion at 31 December 2020. The group’s price assumption for Brent« oil and for Henry Hub«gas were revised downward and the period covered extended to 2050 as set out on page 28 and Note 1. Sensitivity analyses estimating the effect of changes in revenue and discount rate assumptions have been disclosed in Note 1. Significant impairments were recorded in the year as a result of the lower price assumptions as disclosed in Note 4. Headroom on goodwill balances was reduced (see Note 14 for further information). Management’s revised best estimate of oil and natural gas prices are broadly in line with a range of transition paths consistent with the goals of the Paris climate change agreement. Exploration write-offs were recognized as a result of revised expectations to extract value from certain exploration prospects (see Note 8 for further information). Reasonable changes in the expected timing of decommissioning do not have a significant impact on the associated provisions.

99 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Key judgements and estimates in financial report Impact of COVID-19 Investment in Rosneft Derivatives Audit committee activity Conclusions/outcomes The following areas involving judgement and estimates were identified as most relevant with regard to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and current economic environment: going concern, discount rate assumptions, oil and natural gas price assumptions, pensions and other post retirement benefits, impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost and income taxes. Judgement is required in assessing the level of control or influence over another entity in which the group holds an interest. bp uses the equity method of accounting for its investment in Rosneft and bp’s share of Rosneft’s oil and natural gas reserves is included in the group’s estimated net proved reserves of equity- accounted entities. The equity-accounting treatment of bp’s 19.75% interest in Rosneft continues to be dependent on the judgement that bp has significant influence over Rosneft. For its level 3 derivative financial instruments, bp estimates their fair values using internal models due to the absence of quoted market pricing or other observable, market- corroborated data. Judgement may be required to determine whether contracts to buy or sell commodities meet the definition of a derivative, in particular LNG« contracts. Received briefings on COVID-19 impacts as part of the quarterly due diligence process. Reviewed liquidity forecast assessments. performed to support the going concern assertion. Reviewed discount rates used for impairment testing and provisions. Reviewed management’s best estimate of oil and natural gas price assumptions for value-in-use impairment testing. Reviewed the judgement on whether the group continues to have significant influence over Rosneft. Considered IFRS guidance on evidence of participation in policy-making processes. Received reports from management which assessed the extent of significant influence, including bp’s participation in decision making. Received regular reports on derivative accounting judgements. Received a briefing on the group’s trading risks and reviewed the system of risk management and controls in place. Reviewed the control process and risks relating to the trading business. bp continues to be resilient despite current economic conditions. The committee is satisfied with management’s assessment that the group will continue to operate as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Material impairment charges and exploration write-offs were recognized in the Upstream segment as a consequence of price assumption changes. See Note 1 for further information. bp’s CEO, Bernard Looney, was appointed to the Rosneft board of directors in June 2020. bp has retained significant influence over Rosneft throughout 2020 as defined by IFRS. See Note 1 for further information. bp considers that contracts to buy or sell LNG do not meet the definition of a derivative under IFRS. bp has assets and liabilities of $6.4 and $5.3 billion respectively, recognized on the balance sheet for level 3 derivative financial instruments at 31 December 2020 mainly relating to the activities of the trading and shipping function. bp’s use of internal models to value certain of these contracts has been disclosed in Note 30.

100 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Safety and sustainability committee The committee continued to work with the bp leadership team to promote safe and reliable operations. Melody Meyer Committee chair Committee overview Role of the committee The role of the safety and sustainability committee (SASC) (previously called the safety, environment and security assurance committee, until 31 December 2020) is to look at the processes adopted by bp’s executive management to identify and mitigate significant non-financial risk. This includes monitoring the management of personal and process safety risk, security and environment risks and receiving assurance that processes to identify and mitigate such non-financial risks are appropriate in their design and effective in their implementation. Key responsibilities during 2020 The committee receives specific reports from the business segments and functions, which include, but are not limited to, the safety and operational risk function, shipping, internal audit and group security. The SASC can access any other independent advice and counsel it requires on an unrestricted basis. The SASC and audit committee worked together, through their chairs and secretaries, to ensure that agendas did not overlap or omit coverage of any key risks during the year. Meetings and attendance There were six committee meetings in 2020. All directors attended every meeting for which they were eligible. In addition to the committee members, all SASC meetings were attended by the CEO, the SVP for safety and operational risk (S&OR) and the SVP internal audit and/or his delegate. The EVP legal also attended some of the meetings. At the conclusion of each meeting the committee scheduled private sessions for the committee members only, without the presence of executive management, to discuss any issues arising and the quality of the meeting. The CEO receives invitations to join the private meetings on an ad hoc basis and at least once a year the SVP internal audit is invited to a private meeting with the committee. Membership Melody Meyer Member since May 2017 and chair since November 2019 Nils Andersen Member (resigned March 2020) Professor Dame Ann Dowling Member Sir John Sawers Member Chair’s introduction I am pleased to present my second report as chair of the SASC. During 2020, the committee continued to work with the bp leadership team to promote safe and reliable operations within the organization. Operational risk management remained a key area of focus during 2020, against the challenging backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic with the result that bp maintained a good safety record during the year despite these challenges. The committee (together with other non-executive directors) conducted a virtual visit of bpx energy Permian assets in December 2020. We were very impressed with the safety culture and performance demonstrated by the bpx energy colleagues with whom we interacted during this virtual visit, and we look forward to being able to conduct a physical visit in due course. As part of the review by the board of its governance framework, the committee was renamed as the safety and sustainability committee with effect from 1 January 2021. The committee’s remit has also been expanded to include monitoring the effectiveness of the implementation of bp’s sustainability frame. This is an important step in light of bp’s new purpose and ambition and I look forward to continuing to work with the bp leadership team in furtherance of the new purpose, underpinned by safety and sustainability. Nils Andersen stepped down from the committee and the board in March 2020. I would like to thank him for his valuable contribution and commitment to the committee and I welcome Johannes Teyssen as a new member of the committee from the beginning of 2021.

101 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Activities during the year System of internal control and risk management The review of operational risk and performance forms a large part of the committee’s agenda. Internal audit provided quarterly reports on its assurance work and its annual review of the system of internal control and risk management. The committee also received regular reports from the CEO and SVP S&OR on operational risk, including regular reports prepared on the group’s health, safety, security and environmental performance and operational integrity. These included meeting-by-meeting measures of personal and process safety, environmental and regulatory compliance, security and cyber risk analysis, as well as quarterly reports from internal audit. In addition, the SVP, internal audit regularly met in private with the chair and other members of the committee over the course of the year. During the year the committee received separate reports on bp’s management of risks relating to: Marine Wells Pipelines Explosion or release at our facilities Major security incidents Cyber security (process control networks) The committee reviewed these risks and their management and mitigation in depth with relevant executive management. The committee reviewed the 2020 forward programme for the internal audit function. The committee supported the remuneration committee in relation to remuneration policy. Virtual site visit In December 2020 the members of the committee (together with the non-executive directors of the board) made a virtual visit to the bpx energy Permian site. Discussions during this visit covered a broad range of bpx energy health, safety and environment matters and provided an opportunity for effective virtual engagement with bpx energy staff. Corporate reporting The committee oversaw the bp Sustainability Report 2019. The committee reviewed the content and worked with the external auditor with respect to its limited assurance of selected sustainability KPIs.

102 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Geopolitical committee The committee’s agenda developed and evolved during the year, reflecting a year with a significant number of geopolitical developments globally. Sir John Sawers Committee chair Chair’s introduction I am pleased to report on the work of the geopolitical committee in 2020. The committee’s agenda developed and evolved during the year, reflecting a year with a significant number of geopolitical developments globally. Following changes to the board governance framework that took effect on 1 January 2021, the committee was replaced by a geopolitical advisory council. Although the council is not a formal committee of the board, its membership includes other directors, certain members of the bp leadership team and three external advisors, with myself as chair. The geopolitical highest priority risk is now overseen by the board as a whole, informed by feedback from the council. Sir John Sawers Committee chair Activities during the year Early in the year, the committee considered the potential impact on bp of policies and plans of the new EU Commission and new UK government elected in December 2019. Later in the year, the committee considered the geopolitics of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on businesses and policies. The impacts of different potential outcomes of the November US election were discussed by the committee at its meeting in September 2020. The committee also received periodic geopolitical updates on a number of territories in which bp has significant interests throughout the year. Committee overview Role of the committee The committee monitors the company’s identification and management of geopolitical risk. Key responsibilities Monitor the company’s identification and management of major and correlated geopolitical risk and consider reputational as well as financial consequences. Review bp’s activities in the context of political and economic developments on a regional basis and advise the board on these elements in its consideration of bp’s strategy and the annual plan. Major geopolitical risks are those brought about by social, economic or political events that occur in countries where bp has material investments. Correlated geopolitical risks are those brought about by social, economic or political events that occur in countries where bp may or may not have a presence but that can lead to global political instability. Meetings and attendance The chairman and CEO regularly attend committee meetings. The chief executive of Alternative Energy and executive vice president, regions and the head of government and political affairs attend meetings as required. The committee met three times during the year. All directors attended each meeting that they were eligible to attend, with the exception of Sir Ian Davis who missed one meeting due to a prior commitment. Membership Sir John Sawers Member since September 2015 and chair since April 2016 Nils Andersen Member (resigned March 2020) Sir Ian Davis Member (resigned December 2020) Melody Meyer Member Corporate governance continued

103 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Directors’ remuneration report Chair’s letter The committee wishes to place on record our gratitude for all that bp’s people achieved last year, and our acknowledgment of the challenging environment they faced. We look forward to better days ahead. Paula Rosput Reynolds Committee chair Contents Alignment with strategy 108 2020 performance and pay summary 110 2018-20 performance share plan outcome 111 Executive directors’ pay for 2020 113 Wider workforce in 2020 115 Stewardship and executive director interests 118 Non-executive director outcomes and interests 121 Other disclosures 123 Policy implementation for 2021 124 Dear shareholder, Last year was enormously challenging – for the world and for bp. Yet the bp team operated safely and reliably, ran the business as well as could possibly be expected, and launched a strategic transformation of the company. That bp achieved so much last year is a credit to everyone in the company – from the leadership to the front lines. Together, they delivered the energy the world needs, and positioned the company for the future. Nevertheless, as COVID-19 took its toll around the globe, there were consequences for bp’s financial outcomes in 2020. The remuneration committee always seeks to align employee reward with shareholder experience. Thus, despite extraordinary efforts on the part of the organization, we decided that there should be no 2020 pay-out for all those who normally participate in our broadly-applicable annual bonus plan. We know that this decision was painful for bp’s people, many of whom count on earning a cash bonus as part of their personal and family financial planning. While words cannot substitute for remuneration not received, the committee wishes to place on record our gratitude for all that bp people achieved amidst the environment they faced. We look forward to better days ahead. Shareholder engagement Throughout this challenging period when we had many decisions to make regarding metrics and reward, the committee has benefited from engagement with our shareholders. The remuneration policy under which we now operate was directly shaped by a meeting we held with bp’s top 25 shareholders and other proxy representatives in 2019. We appreciated shareholders’ overwhelming support (96.58% approval) of the new policy at our AGM last May. Throughout 2020, we have continued to meet (virtually) with our largest shareholders to discuss a range of performance and incentive topics in detail. We are grateful for your counsel and hope you will see your advice reflected in the decisions which we have reached. We ask for your support of this directors’ remuneration report, and the decisions described herein, at the forthcoming annual general meeting.

104 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Directors’ remuneration report continued In this report, the committee continues its practice of scrutinizing both one- and three-year performance. Even in the absence of paying annual bonuses for 2020, we have included some discussion on results to give a balanced view of what worked well and what disappointed. This report covers our decisions for 2020 and the details regarding our implementation of the 2020 remuneration policy for 2021 and beyond. The highlights are provided immediately below. Key remuneration outcomes for 2020 No pay-out under our 2020 annual bonus plan. There was no pay-out under the annual bonus plan for any of the participating employees Lower vesting for the 2018-2020 equity plan. The vesting outcome for our 2018-20 performance shares cycle is 32.5% of maximum, down from 71.2% in the previous cycle, and from an average of over 66% over the last six cycles. It is worth noting that the committee made no alterations to the performance measures or targets on which these awards were based, nor any discretionary adjustment to the vesting outcome. This vesting outcome applies equally to our former executive directors, and to our new CEO and CFO in respect to their pre- appointment performance share awards. Key remuneration decisions for 2021 and beyond To recognize the efforts of the wider workforce, virtually all employees will receive an above-market pay increase in 2021. Large numbers of our employees received no pay adjustment in 2020 or had their increase deferred for six months. Given the large reduction in headcount and all the responsibility this action places on those who remain, we agreed with management’s plan to increase salaries across-the-board, and ahead of market. Any time salaries rise, the cost of other remuneration that hinges off salary rises as well. At the same time, we are obligated to monitor disparate impacts and overall welfare of the workforce. We will, therefore, continue to monitor and balance the costs of the programme with wider workforce pay issues. We considered the approach to salary for our executive directors apart from the wider workforce. We embrace restraint as a guiding principle, but restraint must be balanced with fair reward for contribution. The board has been gratified by the immediacy of Bernard Looney’s impact in leading the organisation, and in refreshing bp’s purpose, strategy and organisation. We propose to recognize his efforts with an increase of 2.75% salary with effect from the annual general meeting. This increase is significantly lower than the increase that our UK professional workforce will receive on their pay review date in 2021. Murray Auchincloss has likewise made an immediate impact since his appointment. He fully assumed the challenges of the CFO role and has forged a strong partnership alongside Bernard. We set his initial salary in 2020 at a level below comparable rates for finance directors in the FTSE 30, until we could be certain of the contribution he would bring to the role. Shareholders will recall our policy is to keep executive increases within the boundary of wider workforce increases, except in specific circumstances. We find that Murray is already contributing beyond our expectations of even a seasoned CFO. Given his criticality to the execution of our strategy, we conclude that adjusting his below-market salary is such a specific circumstance. We therefore intend to increase his salary by 8% to £750,500, following the annual general meeting, placing him in line with the median rate for FTSE 30 CFOs. It is our intention, subject to the committee’s view of Murray’s continued development and success in role, to bring his salary in line with that of his predecessor and other CFOs in similarly challenging roles. We anticipate that this may require increases somewhat above the wider workforce average in the future. In 2021 we have made an all-employee share award to allow employees to participate in the success that a reinvented bp can deliver. The majority of employees will receive restricted shares vesting in 2025, while more senior employees will receive share options to be exercised from 2025 onward and with a ten-year term. We are bringing our metrics and targets for both the 2021 annual bonus and the 2021-23 performance share into line with bp’s new strategy and the refreshed commitments to financial performance. The changes are described in detail in this report and we hope you will see how closely we have sought to align these targets to the commitments that management have articulated to investors. The 2021-23 awards will be in line with approved policy and the grant size is unchanged from prior years. All share awards will be granted after the annual meeting and pricing will be based on the preceding 90 days. Overview of financial performance, operating achievements, and strategic progress Our 2020 annual bonus plan consisted of measures associated with financial performance and operations. Our long-term share plan consisted of financial measures and strategic progress. Each area of performance is summarized below to provide a sense of how we evaluated overall performance. Financial performance for bonus purposes was measured in terms of underlying replacement cost profit and free cash flow. For performance shares, we measured return on average capital employed (ROACE) and relative total shareholder return (rTSR). In neither the short nor the long-term plan did actual financial performance meet targets. Over the three-year performance period, however, bp ranked third out of the five super- majors for rTSR purposes which accounted for a modest 12.5% vesting of the 2018-20 performance share grant. To offer some perspective, we note that during 2020 the company reduced net debt by $6.5 billion to $39 billion. In announcing the sale of a share of bp’s interest in Oman’s Block 61, we continue making good progress towards the 2025 target of $25 billion of proceeds from divestments. Importantly, too, management initiated the review of bp’s portfolio of assets in 2020 and recommended significant impairments and exploration write- offs. Thus, management took the necessary steps to address the value of our assets given the energy transition, in full knowledge that they would forego near-term benefit because of these actions. We think this reflects well on the system of reward – not paying when performance is below expectations – but also on the integrity of the leadership which is nonetheless doing the right thing to create a sustainable future.

105 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Despite the challenges of the pandemic, operations were strong in 2020, with refining availability of 96%, upstream plant reliability of 94%, and delivery of four new major projects. Safety trends were also positive, with process safety events, recordable injury frequency, and other key safety and environmental metrics significantly lower than in 2019. While workforce hours were down, bp people safely managed increased COVID-19-related risks and travel restrictions, and increased quarantine periods associated with cross-border crew rotations, while ensuring safety critical staffing and emergency response preparedness. bp teams also delivered above-target sustainable emissions reductions in 2020. Strategic progress is the other area we assessed; in the 2018-20 performance share plan it carried a 20% weight. As we consulted with shareholders, we can appreciate that the inclusion of ‘strategic progress’ in a scorecard can be a double-edged sword. On the one side, measuring strategic progress more specifically aligns our strategy and the reward we will confer. On the other side, strategic progress does not always carry with it straightforward metrics that are more typically used in remuneration designs. Thus the committee must use its judgement and explain its rationale. We do so here on page 111. We hope you will agree that we’ve been thoughtful in evaluating the organization’s strategic performance over the 2018-20 period. Other decisions and forward-looking activity In our approved 2020 remuneration policy, we retained flexibility to adjust performance measures and weightings in both our annual bonus and performance share plans. Given the shift in the business mix and the exigencies of our financial frame, for the 2021 annual bonus, we are introducing two new financial measures: cumulative cash cost reductions (weighted at 25%); and an operational measure to reflect margin share from convenience retail and electrification (weighted at 10%). These changes Remuneration committee Role of the committee The role of the committee is to determine and recommend to the board the remuneration policy and to set chair, executive director and leadership team remuneration. It reviews workforce remuneration and monitors related policies, satisfying itself that incentives and rewards are aligned with bp’s culture. In determining the policy, the committee takes into account various factors, including workforce remuneration, and structures the policy to promote the long-term success of the company and linking reward to performance. Key responsibilities Recommend to the board the remuneration principles and policies for the executive directors while considering remuneration and related policies for employees below the board and the executive team. Set and approve the terms of engagement, remuneration, benefits and termination of employment for the executive directors, leadership team and the company secretary in accordance with the policy. Prepare the annual remuneration report to shareholders to show how the policy has been implemented. Approve the principles of any equity plan that requires shareholder approval. Ensure termination terms and payments to executive directors and leadership team are fair. Receive and consider regular updates on workforce views and engagement initiatives related to remuneration, insight from data sources on pay ratio, gender pay gap and other workforce remuneration outcomes as appropriate. Maintain appropriate dialogue with shareholders on remuneration matters. Membership Paula Rosput Reynolds Member since September 2017 and chair since May 2018 Nils Andersen Member (resigned March 2020) Pamela Daley Member Sir Ian Davis Member (resigned 30 December 2020) Melody Meyer Member since March 2020 Brendan Nelson Member Meetings and attendance The chairman and the CEO attend meetings of the committee except for matters relating to their own remuneration. The CEO is consulted on the remuneration of the CFO, the leadership team and more broadly on remuneration across the wider employee population. Both the CEO and CFO are consulted on matters relating to the group’s performance. bp’s EVP people and culture, SVP reward and wellbeing and advisors attend meetings and other executives may attend where necessary. The committee consults other board committees on the group’s performance and on issues relating to the exercise of judgement or discretion as necessary. The committee met nine times during the year. All directors attended each meeting that they were eligible to attend, except Sir Ian Davis who was not able to attend two meetings, and Pamela Daley and Brendan Nelson who each missed one committee meeting. represent the committee’s best judgment for fine-tuning measures to the new strategy. While we are adding two new measures, we will continue to measure annual performance of our operations, of cash generation, of sustainable emissions reductions and of safety. For the 2021-23 performance share awards, we will introduce an earnings per share growth (EBIDA CAGR) measure alongside the existing ROACE measure (each weighted at 20%), and will reduce the weighting on rTSR (from 40% to 20%). Many of you will recall that the relevance of rTSR and the selection of an appropriate peer group were widely, but inconclusively discussed, during our September 2019 stakeholder engagement session. Against that backdrop, our judgment is that if the bp team can achieve the multi-year financial results to which it committed in July 2020, then the team should be rewarded, with only a modest calibration to what other energy companies accomplish over these three years.

106 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Directors’ remuneration report continued In this directors’ remuneration report RC profit (loss), underlying RC profit, return on average capital employed, operating cash flow excluding Gulf of Mexico oil spill payments, margin share for convenience and electrification, net debt and cumulative cash cost reductions are non-GAAP measures. These measures, together with upstream plant reliability and refining availability, are defined in the Glossary on page 341. Also noteworthy for the 2021-23 performance share awards, we are recasting the strategic progress measures to three well-defined areas: (1) delivering value through a resilient and focused hydrocarbon business; (2) building scale and value through investments in lower carbon electricity and energy sources; and (3) accelerating growth in convenience and mobility. Strategic progress metrics will be weighted at 40%. Several shareholders have asked us to be more specific about which measures from the September 2020 presentations we intend to use in evaluating strategic progress, and I say more on this at page 109 in the alignment to strategy section. The leadership team has been bold in seeking to transform bp and has shown exemplary cooperation in developing these challenging performance measures. Wider workforce and activities through the pandemic Much of the committee’s time this year was dominated by the pandemic, which had a serious impact on workforce and remuneration matters. With our plans to reinvent bp already proceeding when the pandemic hit, bp’s leadership committed that no redundancies would take place for a minimum of three months to allay immediate concerns about job security. Also, bp sought no pandemic relief in the form of grants or furlough funding from any governments anywhere in the world. Despite the limited ability to meet in person, the committee and the board engaged with employees virtually throughout the year. Despite the fact that 2020 was a year with many discouraging moments, we find that the employees are highly engaged – and willing to speak their minds – which bodes well for the future. From the outset of the pandemic’s impact, mental health as well as physical well-being were of concern. Both Bernard and our chair Helge Lund donated 20% of their salaries to charities dealing with mental health issues from April 2020. In addition, Bernard directed the company to make a substantial donation to the UK mental health charity, Mind. This generosity is consistent with the leadership’s support for mental health within the company, and given the duration and far-reaching effects of the pandemic, was exceptionally far-sighted. Closing thanks Following their retirement from the board, I thank Nils Andersen and Sir Ian Davis for their many contributions to this committee, while welcoming Melody Meyer and, most recently, Tushar Morzaria. At the annual general meeting, Brendan Nelson plans to stand down and his particular brand of sober judgement will be greatly missed by the committee. The technology we have all deployed in the last year has only served to enhance our consultation with shareholders and their advisors. These virtual face-to-face contacts from our respective homes have allowed for frequent conversations. We thank you for fitting us into your long days, and as you review the details provided in this report, we welcome your comments.

107 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Remuneration at a glance Purpose and key features Outcomes for 2020 Implementation in 2021 Salary and benefits Fixed remuneration reflecting the scale and complexity of our business, enabling us to attract and keep the highest calibre global talent. Reviewed annually and, if appropriate, increased following the AGM. Benchmarked to market at inception with increases limited to those of our wider workforce, except in specific circumstances. Bernard Looney’s salary set at £1,300,000 on appointment. Murray Auchincloss’s salary set at £695,000 on appointment. Bob Dudley’s salary unchanged at $1,854,000 until cessation. Brian Gilvary’s salary unchanged at £790,500 until cessation. Benefits were unchanged. Bernard’s salary to increase by 2.75% to £1,335,750 from the AGM. Murray’s salary to increase by 8% to £750,500 from the AGM. Benefits to remain unchanged. Retirement benefits To recognize competitive practice in home country. Bernard is a deferred member of a UK final salary pension plan, but now receives a cash allowance in lieu of retirement benefits. Murray is a deferred member of a US final salary pension plan, but now receives a cash allowance in lieu of retirement benefits. Bob was a member of both a US final salary pension plan and a US retirement savings plan. Brian was a member of a UK final salary pension plan and received a cash allowance in lieu of further service accrual. Bernard has no further service accrual for his deferred pension, and the pension calculation will be based on his pre-appointment salary. His cash allowance is fixed at 15% of salary. Murray has no further service accrual for his deferred pension arrangement, and the pension calculation will be based on his pre-appointment salary. His cash allowance is fixed at 15% of salary. Bob’s defined benefit pension did not increase in 2020. bp actual and notional retirement savings plan contributions of $32,445 were more than offset by investment losses within his plans, hence he received no net benefit in 2020. Brian’s defined benefit pension increase was below inflation. His cash allowance was 30% of salary to 30 May, and 25% of salary from 1 June 2020. Bernard’s cash allowance will be unchanged at 15% of salary, and he accrues no further value under his deferred pension. Murray’s cash allowance will be unchanged at 15% of salary, and he accrues no further value under his US deferred pension. Annual bonus To incentivize delivery of our annual and strategic goals. 112.5% of salary at target, and 225% at maximum. To reinforce the long-term nature of our business and the importance of sustainability, 50% of the bonus is paid in cash and 50% is mandatorily deferred and held in bp shares for three years. No bonus for 2020. For our 2021 bonus, our scorecard will be reweighted to safety (15%), environment (15%), operational (20%) and financial (50%), as described on page 125. Performance shares To align reward to our strategy and long-term performance. Vesting outcomes vary relative to our financial returns and strategic priorities. Annual grant of performance shares, representing the maximum outcome. 500% of salary for the chief executive officer and 450% of salary for chief financial officer. Awards granted in 2018 (under our 2017 policy) were assessed against our balanced scorecard of financial (80%) and strategic progress (20%) measures. Our 2018-20 performance share outcome is 32.5% of maximum vesting. Awards granted in 2019 (under our 2017 policy) will vest in proportion to success against the measures of our 2019-21 scorecard. For the 2021-23 cycle (under our 2020 policy), grant levels will remain unchanged at 500% for Bernard and 450% for Murray, with weightings of 20% each for rTSR, ROACE and EBIDA CAGR, and 40% for strategic measures, as shown on page 125. Shareholding requirement To ensure sustained alignment between shareholder and executive director interests. The chief executive officer and other executive directors are required to maintain shareholdings equivalent to 500% and 450% of salary respectively, including for two years post employment (2020 policy). Both former executive directors materially exceed their post- employment share ownership requirements of two and a half times salary (pre-dating the 2020 policy). Bernard and Murray have not yet achieved their minimum shareholding requirement (they must do so within five years of appointment). The minimum shareholding requirements remain unchanged.

108 A sustainability frame linking our purpose and Integrating energy systems Partnering with countries, cities and industries Driving digital and innovation Low carbon electricity and energy Convenience and mobility Resilient and focused hydrocarbons bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Directors’ remuneration report continued Alignment with strategy The frame for our remuneration policy and practice Last year we refreshed our remuneration policy following wide consultation, individually and collectively, with shareholders. Through that consultation we decided to retain the strongly performance-oriented reward model that served us well in the previous decade. Thus, we retained and built upon the established policy structure, with the advantage this brings of being well- understood and accepted by our executives and wider workforce alike. By design, this refreshed policy allows for ongoing alignment to the nearer-term needs of our strategy, with measures intended to evolve in line with the pace and form of the energy transition. This design reflected the four broad themes that emerged from our engagement with shareholders: A clear end-to-end alignment from strategy, through measurable performance indicators and reward outcomes, to shareholder experience. To balance our contribution to the energy transition with delivering shareholder returns, with encouragement to use appropriate discretion given the complexity of the environment in the energy transition. To ensure strategic measures align to long-term sustainability, relative to a wide peer group. To use meaningful and transparent performance indicators reflecting our progress in the energy transition and reductions to our carbon impact. bp’s purpose, ambition and strategy bp’s purpose, to reimagine energy for people and our planet, is complemented with a clear and unambiguous ambition – to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner and to help the world get to net zero. Our strategy is transformational, to pivot from International Oil Company to Integrated Energy Company, from a focus on developing resources, to a focus on delivering solutions for customers. As seen below, this strategy is grounded in three focus areas and three sources of differentiation, set within a sustainability frame linking our strategy to our purpose. Connecting remuneration to strategy Alignment with strategy is evident in: Clearly measurable safety, sustainability, strategic and financial measures for each cycle of annual bonus and/or performance shares. The judgements we make to assess qualitative progress against strategic objectives. Our ‘underpin’ assessment to take safety outcomes into account prior to determining the final performance shares vesting percentage. Our overarching discretionary decisions to ensure share plan outcomes reflect shareholder experience, environmental, societal, and other inputs. Achieving balance between safety, sustainability, strategic and financial measures is an essential consideration for the committee in applying policy. Considering the three ‘focus areas’ of bp’s strategy, generating cash from our resilient and focused hydrocarbons business is the critical element to support bp’s transition into the two growth areas – low carbon electricity and energy, and convenience and mobility. We expect bp to be directing 40% or more of its investment into these areas by 2030, but that reallocation of spend will be a gradual and non-linear matter, requiring flexibility and judgement from leadership. Our commitment is to oversee this transition with care, applying remuneration policy to incentivize results in the most critical areas. In our most recent consideration we have therefore aligned the strategic performance measures of our 2021-23 performance share awards entirely to the three ‘focus areas’ of bp strategy: low carbon electricity and energy; convenience and mobility; and resilient and focused hydrocarbons. This means that, for now, we are consciously not introducing measures related to the three ‘sources of differentiation’, in the belief that we need to limit the total number of measures and highlight those which are the most pressing. This has also led us to review our decision- making from last September when we set strategic measures for the 2020-22 performance share awards. At that time, we had chosen four strategic elements – two of the focus areas, and two of the sources of differentiation. With the hindsight of our more recent discussions and a deeper understanding of how the strategy is likely to yield most value, we realise those earlier decisions were not the best. Therefore, we are taking the unusual step of amending our 2020-22 strategic progress measures mid-cycle, to align them instead with the measures of our 2021-23 cycle. Thus we bring focus to the most critical areas, align the measures for the first two cycles of share award under our 2020 policy, and can develop a common set of performance metrics that will allow us to transparently report progress across all three cycles of award under the 2020 policy (ie. those starting in 2020, 2021 and 2022). The table on page 109 summarizes the alignment between performance measures and strategy, showing the weightings associated with each.

These indicators are as follows: Resilient and focused hydrocarbons Production costs per barrel: track improvement in unit production cost per barrel to help deliver margin efficiency. Plant reliability: measure the reliability of upstream production assets as an indicator of operational efficiency. Refining availability: measure the availability of downstream refining assets, also as an indicator of operational efficiency. Demonstrate track record, scale and value in low carbon electricity and energy Gigawatts of developed renewables energy: confirm the growth and value added from new renewable energy projects. Clear decisions on other energy platforms: demonstrate strategic progress in the selection of energy platforms for future growth. Renewables pipeline: build a renewable pipeline in alignment with 2025 and 2030 goals while consistent with targeted returns. Accelerate growth in convenience and mobility Castrol performance: demonstrate growth momentum in Castrol. Strategic convenience sites: confirm the number of strategic convenience sites. Margin share from convenience and electrification: demonstrate the capture of growth from the energy transition through the retail network via measuring the ratio of convenience and electrification gross margin to total consumer energy (retail fuels and electrification) and convenience gross margin. 30%{ 40%{

111 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 2018-20 performance share plan outcome Vesting under our performance share plans is assessed using the group performance scorecard shown on page 112, and subject to any discretionary adjustment by the committee. Bernard and Murray were granted 2018-20 performance share awards under the Group Share Value Plan (GSVP) for bp group leaders, rather than under the Executive Director Incentive Plan (EDIP). The GSVP and EDIP both use the same scorecard, therefore the comments in this section apply equally to our former and new executive directors, as well as our group leaders, even though they relate to performance shares awarded under different plans. The financial outcomes for the three-year period were disappointing. Return on average capital employed averaged 2.6% over 2019 and 2020 (the ROACE measurement period for this cycle), below our threshold level for vesting on this measure. Total shareholder returns turned negative for bp, alongside all our constituent peer companies. bp placed third among our competitor group, however, which yielded formulaic vesting of 12.5% (of a potential 50%). To counter the impact of share price volatility in TSR measures, bp has continued its standard practice of averaging US market prices over the fourth quarter immediately before, and at the end of, the three-year performance cycle. Peers in our competitor group may use different pricing methods, leading them to report different ranking outcomes from bp. As reported last year, we introduced four strategic progress measures in our 2017 policy, and this is now the second cycle for which we have made an assessment on strategic progress. These were the measures that then positioned bp for the future, and the committee found that in all four strategic areas the business has delivered fully against intended outcomes. Thus vesting on this element of the scorecard is determined to be 20%. The key factors that formed our scoring decision were: Growing gas and advantaged oil in the upstream. Gas production grew from 1.11mmboed in 2017 to 1.15mmboed by 2020, with eight major gas projects started up in the period. In the same period bp started up seven major oil projects and have a further eight major oil projects under construction. We purchased BHP tight oil assets, accessing some of the best basins onshore in the US. Market-led growth in the downstream. We have continued strategic progress with our convenience partnership model now in around 1,900 sites across the network, with 800 opened since 2017. The growth has been driven by the roll-out of REWE to Go in Germany, our Thorntons business in North America, and new partnerships launched in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Portugal. Retail store gross margin has grown 6% per annum since 2017 to over $1bn and is showing resilience despite COVID-19. In growth markets, we doubled our retail sites to 2,700 in 2020, expanded our network to over 500 bp-branded retail sites« in Mexico, and opened over 1,400 sites in India with our Reliance joint venture. In our sustainable aviation fuel business, we added 13 new locations to Air bp’s supply network and have struck an innovative collaboration with Neste for supply of sustainable aviation fuel. We have made a further $40 million investment in Fulcrum since 2017. Venturing and low carbon across multiple fronts. Lightsource bp now has a presence in 14 countries, up from five in 2018. We have created a differentiated strategy in electric vehicle charging through bp pulse and Storedot, which has demonstrated five-minute charging capability. Our focus on reducing emissions has progressed well, with a reduction from 48.8Mte in 2018 to 41.7Mte in 2020, aligning with our net zero ambition. Our 2020 methane intensity is estimated at 0.12%, well below our target of 0.2% Gas power and renewables trading and marketing growth. We remain the largest US gas and power marketing company. In 2018 and 2019 we added six advanced liquified natural gas (LNG) tankers to the bp-operated fleet; our Tangguh LNG expansion started drilling in 2019; and Train 2 of our Freeport LNG began commercial operations in 2020, with first gas deliveries from bp under our 20-year tolling agreement. Along with the combination of financial and strategic measures, the committee considers an ‘underpin’ decision before deciding on the final result, taking a broader view to ensure that the reward outcome aligns with absolute shareholder returns, safety and environmental factors, and low carbon and climate change considerations. The committee has been mindful of the need to take an even broader perspective, and thus consider executive outcomes in relation to societal matters in general and our wider workforce in particular. While absolute returns disappoint, we find that all aspects of the underpin support at least 32.5% vesting, which from a participant’s perspective reflects a poor return for the efforts expended. Therefore, our overall judgement is to leave the vesting outcome unadjusted. As mentioned above, this scorecard outcome applies to all participants in both the EDIP (for executive directors) and the GSVP (for group leaders). With time pro-ration for Bob and Brian to reflect their periods of service during the three-year performance period, this vesting delivers the outcomes detailed below. For Bernard and Murray these values are included in the single figure table on page 113, whereas for Bob and Brian they are reported in the payments for past directors section at page 122. 2018-20 performance share plan outcomes (audited) Shares awarded Shares vesting including dividends Value of vested shares, Feb/ Mar 2021 Impact of share price changea Bernard Looney 158,690b 126,134 £350,652 -£228,991 Murray Auchinclossc 77,958b 62,124 $275,934 -$111,497 Bob Dudleyc 1,395,600 410,922 $1,566,298 -$962,923 Brian Gilvary 696,705 227,337 £618,357 -£430,217 a These values reflect the impact of the reduction in share price since grant related to the number of shares that vest, excluding dividend equivalents. b Share grants under the GSVP are made at 50% of maximum, not at 100% of maximum as for the EDIP. c Bob Dudley and Murray Auchincloss’s awards were granted in respect of American depositary shares (ADSs). The numbers in this table reflect calculated equivalents in ordinary shares. One ADS equates to six ordinary shares. The value of vested shares reflects the share price changes all shareholders have experienced over the three-year period. For this 2018-20 award cycle, the original grant was calculated based on ordinary share and American depositary share (ADS) prices of £5.00 and $39.85 respectively, while the values at vesting were £2.78/£2.72 (on 16 and 19 February respectively), and $22.87/$26.65 (on 19 February and 10 March respectively). Consequently, the share price fall has reduced the initial face value of these awards by approximately 45% for ordinary shares, by 33% for Murray Auchincloss’s ADSs, and by 43% for Bob Dudley’s ADSs. The committee has made no discretionary adjustment to vesting outcomes related to these share price changes.

See the performance shares table on page 111, and the deferred shares table on page 120, for further details on these awards. b Due to rounding, the totals do not agree exactly with the sum of their component parts. Overview of single figure outcomes (audited) Bernard Looney and Murray Auchincloss started in their roles as CEO and CFO on 5 February and 1 July 2020 respectively. Accordingly, the values shown in the single figure table represent remuneration outcomes from the time of their appointment to the board only. Similarly, because Bob Dudley and Brian Gilvary stepped down on 4 February and 30 June respectively, their 2020 remuneration values relate only to their part-years of service as executive directors. Payments received after they stepped down from their position are included in the payments to past directors section on page 122. Salary and benefits Bernard Looney’s salary was £1,300,000 from appointment. The amount reported above is before his 20% mental health charitable contribution. Murray Auchincloss’s salary was £695,000 from appointment. Bob Dudley’s salary remained at $1,854,000 until his exit on 31 March 2020. Brian Gilvary’s salary was unchanged at £790,500 until his exit on 30 June 2020. All executive directors received car-related benefits, assistance with tax return preparation, security assistance, insurance and medical benefits. 2020 annual bonus The committee concluded that there should be no bonus for 2020 as the plan was unaffordable. There were no other contributing factors leading us to this decision. 2018-20 performance shares Please refer to page 112 for details of the performance measures, targets and outcomes for these performance shares. Retirement benefits From their appointment as executive directors, Bernard Looney and Murray Auchincloss ceased to receive any retirement benefits for their service, but receive a cash allowance fixed at 15% of salary in line with the majority of similarly situated employees. They may choose to direct these allowances into retirement plans at their sole discretion, and the amounts are therefore identified as cash in lieu of retirement benefits on the single figure table. Bob Dudley was provided with pension benefits and retirement savings through a combination of tax-qualified and non-qualified benefit plans. His normal retirement age is 60. The BP Supplemental Executive Retirement Benefit Plan (SERB) is a non-qualified defined benefit pension plan which provides a proportion of earnings for each year of service. In 2020 his accrued defined benefit pension did not increase, and the amount included in the single figure table is therefore zero. The BP Employee Savings Plan (ESP) is a US tax-qualified defined contribution plan to which both Bob and bp contributed. The BP Excess Compensation (Savings) Plan (ECSP) is a non-qualified, unfunded, retirement savings plan to which bp notionally contributed 7% of base salary above the annual IRS limit. In 2020 Bob made contributions to the ESP totalling $28,500 and bp made matching contributions to the ESP, and notional contributions to the ECSP, totalling $32,445. However, investment losses in his unfunded ECSP account (aggregating the unfunded arrangements relating to his overall service with bp and TNK-BP) exceeded these contributions, hence the amount included in the single figure table is zero.

114 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Brian Gilvary was provided with retirement benefits through a combination of tax-qualified and non-qualified plans for service to 31 March 2011, but linked to his final salary. In line with terms offered to UK employees employed prior to 2010 (or before 2014 in the North Sea) Brian was a member of the BP Pension Scheme (bpPS), a UK final salary defined benefit pension plan. Pension benefits accrued in excess of the individual lifetime tax allowance set by legislation were provided to Brian via a non-qualified, unfunded pension arrangement designed to mirror the design of the approved bpPS. His normal retirement age is 60, although due to his long service, benefits accrued before 1 December 2006 may be paid unreduced from age 55 with bp’s consent. Brian received no salary increase in 2020, hence his interests in these retirement benefits did not increase and the amount included in the single figure table is therefore zero. For service after 31 March 2011 Brian received a cash allowance in lieu of further accrual. This was set at 30% of salary to 30 May, then 25% of salary to 30 June 2020, and the amount has been separately identified in the single figure table. Discontinued plans In accordance with 2014 policy, Brian Gilvary compulsorily deferred one third of his 2015 annual bonus and received a matching award of bp shares. Both the deferred and matching awards were subject to a three-year performance period which ended on 31 December 2018, however Brian voluntarily requested that the committee delay the performance assessment and vesting of the 2015 matching award for two years, to 31 December 2020. The committee considered operational and financial performance and reviewed safety and environmental sustainability performance over the 2016-20 period, seeking input from the strategy and sustainability committee on safety and sustainability measures. The committee concluded that safety performance continues to show improvement, with safety embedded in the culture of the organization and supporting strong operational and financial performance. The committee concluded that this award should vest in full. Because this award vested post-employment, the value is included in the payments to past directors statement on page 122, with further details available in the deferred shares table on page 120. Bob Dudley has previously requested that the committee delay the performance assessment and vesting of all his deferred and matching awards under the 2014 policy. Following the committee’s conclusion that the original safety and environmental sustainability conditions have been met, these awards will vest one year after his retirement, and the value will be reported in the payments to past directors statement in our 2021 report.

115 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Wider workforce in 2020 Workforce experience During 2020 the committee has continued to receive and review information on pay outcomes and processes for our wider workforce in order to take account of wider workforce pay and conditions when setting executive remuneration, and to consider alignment between pay structures. As part of this review we carried out a programme of engagement with a diverse range of employees from different parts of the workforce from the front line to corporate office and covering new joiners, employees with long tenure in the organization, and employees of different gender and nationality. The topics discussed addressed bp’s new purpose and ambition, and how this aligns with the organization’s reward programmes. Our enquiries ranged from success in attracting and retaining talent, employee preferences in how pay is delivered, the make-up of the reward package, and programmes to support international mobility. A recurring theme was the desire for flexibility, with employees wanting to be empowered to make their own choices about how they work and how they are remunerated for their work. Overall we continue to observe well-balanced and structured approaches to reward. Although these approaches vary by business area and location, the core offering for the majority of our workforce is summarized in the table on page 116. We also find that financial reward is complemented with strong emphasis on maintaining a supportive and inclusive working environment. For instance, our commitment to family-friendly leave policies; recognition as a top global employer in Stonewall’s list of the best multinational employers for LGBT+ staff; and scoring 100% for a fourth consecutive year in the Human Rights Campaign’s 2021 Corporate Equality Index, which measures adoption of non-discrimination policies, equitable benefits for LGBT+ employees and families, and supporting an inclusive culture and corporate social responsibility. We are also pleased to confirm that bp is now accredited by the Living Wage Foundation as a real living wage employer in the UK. This ensures all colleagues in our UK businesses and at company-owned sites are paid at least the real living wage and we are now reviewing the position across other bp countries. We apply the insights we gain from engaging with the workforce to challenge leadership generally and to make sure we think about remuneration holistically, not just with regard to those leaders whose pay is within our remit. This has been more relevant than ever through a year in which the COVID-19 pandemic has had such a significant impact on our people and business. Wider workforce salary increases were postponed at the normal salary review date 1 April 2020; from 1 October 2020 staff below our senior leadership level did receive increases. Salaries remained frozen for senior leaders (other than promotions) throughout 2020. Over half of our global workforce participates in an annual cash bonus plan and for 2020 the plan was intended to pay an incentive based equally on individual performance and bp performance. However, as reported in my opening letter, the committee and CEO both concluded that there should be no bonus for 2020 as the plan was unaffordable, and this outcome applies equally to our executive directors, leadership team, and those of our wider workforce who participate in the annual bonus plan. These decisions reflect our principle of consistency for all those rewarded under our common template. Note, however, that a limited number of employees, such as those with specific contractual rights or who work in parts of the business with different remuneration models, have received bonus payments for 2020. Looking forward, we have reviewed the role of share plans offered to employees with a view to understanding the extent to which these plans align our wider workforce with bp’s purpose, particularly whether employees are personally invested in the new ambition and able to share in success. This review has led to our support for a ‘one off’ equity grant to every bp employee in 2021, vesting in 2025, reflecting our belief in sharing success broadly while aligning employees’ longer-term interests with all shareholders. We have also devoted time to examine the support provided for employee health and wellbeing, to gain a better understanding of how these aspects of policy support the organization’s culture and encourage appropriate behaviours. This is an ongoing study and we will have more to report next year. Turning to non-discrimination matters, we understand the sharp interest that exists in disclosures of gender and ethnicity pay gaps. Having reviewed the gender pay gap reports of the last several years we are satisfied that reward processes and decisions are designed and managed to effectively avoid bias, and that reported pay gaps relate in the main to differences in gender representation across the pay hierarchy. We therefore conclude that the narrative accompanying our pay gap reporting is better reflected within bp’s diversity and inclusion reporting, rather than remuneration reporting. With this in mind, and because bp has committed to annual diversity and inclusion reporting, we will leave additional commentary to that publication, which is expected to be available on the company’s website bp.com next month.

116 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Summary of remuneration structure for employees below the board Element Policy features for the wider workforce Comparison with executive director remuneration Salary Our salary is the basis for a competitive total reward package for all employees, and we conduct an annual salary review for all non-unionized employees. As we determine salaries in this review, we take account of comparable pay rates at other relevant employers, the skills, knowledge and experience of each individual, relativity to peers within bp, individual performance, and the overall budget we set for each country. In setting the budget each year, we assess how employee pay is currently positioned relative to market rates, forecasts of any further market increases, and business context related to such things as growth plans, workforce turnover and affordability. The salaries of our executive directors and executive leadership form the basis of their total remuneration, and we review these salaries annually. The primary purpose of the review is to stay aligned with relevant market comparators. We intend to keep increases within the salary review budgets set for our wider workforce, except in specific circumstances. Pensions and benefits We offer market-aligned benefits packages reflecting normal practice in each country in which we operate. Where appropriate, and subject to scale, we offer significant elements of personal benefit choice to our employees. Other than the addition of security-related benefits, our executive director benefit packages are broadly aligned with other employees who joined bp in the same country at the same time. Under our 2020 remuneration policy pension benefits have been sharply reduced for our new executive directors, who receive a cash-in-lieu of pension allowance set at 15% of salary. Their previously accrued defined benefit calculations are capped on pre-appointment salary service. Annual bonus Over half of our global workforce participate in an annual cash bonus plan that multiplies a target bonus amount by a performance factor in the range 0 to 2. For 2021, the performance factor will reflect bp performance alone, placing emphasis on aligning individual efforts to the shared goals of the company at this critical stage of our transition. We operate different bonus plans for those distinct parts of our business where remuneration models in the market are markedly different, such as our trading and marketing businesses. Annual bonus for executive directors is directly related to the same group performance measures and outcomes as the wider workforce. Performance shares We operate a performance share plan with three-year vesting for employees from our professional entry level and above. Operation varies based on seniority in three broad tiers: group leaders (approximately 300); senior leaders (approximately 4,000); and all other professional employees (approximately 32,000 potential participants, of whom 20% will participate). Vesting is subject to group performance outcomes for the group leader population only. Performance shares for our executive directors are assessed using the same group performance scorecard used for the group leader performance shares. Directors’ remuneration report continued

117 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Chief executive officer to employee pay ratio This is our second year reporting the CEO pay ratio following the requirements introduced in 2018. As last year, we have selected option A as our reporting basis, being the most accurate approach available. The employees included in these calculations were employed by the group on 31 December 2020 and pay and benefits values were determined with reference to the financial year ending 31 December 2020. We confirm that no broadly applicable components of pay have been omitted and, where necessary, full-time equivalent pay has been calculated by simple engrossment of part year values. Our analysis this year covers more than 14,000 UK employees, 45% of whom work in our retail sites. Employee values reflect the zero bonus outcome for the majority of employees, and the delayed salary review date, from 1 April to 1 October. Given the succession of CEO in 2020, these employee values are compared against the sum of total pay values, per the single figure table on page 113, for Bernard Looney and Bob Dudley. Year Method 25th percentile: pay ratio, total pay and benefits, (salary) 50th percentile: pay ratio, total pay and benefits, (salary) 75th percentile: pay ratio, total pay and benefits, (salary) 2019 Option A 543:1 £19,108 (£18,845) 188:1 £55,071 (£38,800) 82:1 £126,085 (£74,200) 2020 Option A 99:1 £18,984 (£18,984) 40:1 £46,933 (£29,040) 19:1 £98,546 (£80,475) Bob Dudley’s pay has been converted from US dollars at 0.77907 for 2020. The 2019 ratio is as originally reported. The sharp reduction in 50th percentile ratio from 188:1 to 40:1 reflects the fact that CEO remuneration is more heavily weighted to variable pay which reduces in years of weaker performance such as 2020. This is a natural reason for volatility in pay ratio reporting from year to year, and illustrates one of the challenges in commenting on whether any given year’s pay ratio is appropriate. Our considered view as to appropriateness is that the policies for our CEO, and for the wider workforce, are both fit for purpose and that they deliver pay outcomes appropriate to the circumstance of the year. Thus differentials reflect both the relative contributions made at different levels in our hierarchy, and the nature of the year in question. Taken in the round with all of the insights we have gained into pay policies and practices, we remain satisfied that pay outcomes, and the ratios derived from them, are as they should be. In particular we note that as well as being paid at least the real living wage, our UK employees also benefit from the significant intangible value of working in an inclusive and caring enterprise that is not reflected in pay ratio analyses. Percentage change comparisons: Directors’ remuneration versus employees In the table below, values in column ‘a’ represent the percentage change in salary and fees; values in column ‘b’ represent the percentage change in taxable benefits; and values in column ‘c’ represent the percentage change in bonus outcomes for performance periods in respect of each financial year. The employee percentages shown represent the change in median employee pay. This compares the median BP p.l.c. employee on 31 December of the relevant financial year, with the median BP p.l.c. employee on 31 December of the preceding financial year, in each case ranked based on the total of salary, benefits and bonus. For the chair and non-executive directors, the decline in the value of taxable benefits largely relates to the sharp drop in business travel arising from pandemic-related travel restrictions. 2020 v 2019 a b c Employees 0% 0% -100% Bernard Looney – – – Murray Auchincloss – – – Bob Dudley 0% -5% -100% Brian Gilvary 1% 13% -100% Nils Andersen -7% -46% n/a Dame Alison Carnwath -4% -94% n/a Pamela Daley -15% -92% n/a Sir Ian Davis -14% -81% n/a Professor Dame Ann Dowling -4% -96% n/a Helge Lund (Chair) 0% -74% n/a Melody Meyer 9% -77% n/a Tushar Morzaria – – n/a Brendan Nelson -7% -71% n/a Paula Rosput Reynolds 2% -92% n/a Sir John Sawers -3% -83% n/a Bob Dudley, Brian Gilvary and Nils Andersen resigned during 2020, therefore, other than for one-time items, their 2020 pay has been annualised for comparison.

118 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Stewardship and executive director interests We believe that our executive directors should have a material interest in the company, both during their tenure and after they leave bp. Our 2020 remuneration policy therefore requires the CEO and other executive directors to build personal shareholdings of five times salary and four and half times salary, respectively, within five years of their appointment. They are expected to maintain those shareholding levels for two years post employment. Directors’ shareholdings (audited) The table below details the personal shareholdings of each current and former executive director. Both Bob Dudley and Brian Gilvary significantly exceed their post-employment shareholding commitment. Bernard Looney and Murray Auchincloss are building towards the policy requirement that applies five years from their dates of appointment, 5 February and 1 July 2020 respectively. These figures include all beneficial and non-beneficial ownership of shares of bp (or calculated equivalents) that have been disclosed to the company.

Bernard Looney’s 2018-20 award vested on 16 February 2021, when the market price was £2.78 for each share, and Murray Auchincloss’s award vested on 10 March 2021 when the market price for each ADS was $26.65. The amounts reported as 2020 income on the single figure table are therefore £351k for Bernard Looney and $275k (£215k) for Murray Auchincloss. c Face values have been calculated using market prices of ordinary shares at closing on the dates of award, as follows; £5.37 on 19 February 2019; £5.48 on 25 March 2019; and £3.08 on 11 August 2020. d Minimum vesting under these awards (below threshold performance) is 0%. At the lowest performance outcome that would yield an above-zero score on each measure, vesting would be 10% of maximum. e These awards were received in the form of ADSs. The above numbers reflect calculated equivalents in ordinary shares. One ADS is equivalent to six ordinary shares. f Represents vesting of shares at the end of the performance period based on performance achieved under rules of the plan and includes reinvested dividends on the shares vested. This 2017-2019 award vested on 18 February 2020, when the market price was £4.54 for each ordinary share, and $36.09 for each ADS. Reinvested dividends were delivered on 5 November 2020, when the market price was £2.03 for each ordinary share, and $15.83 for each ADS. The adjusted amounts reported as 2019 income on the single figure table are therefore $8.039 million for Bob Dudley, and £2.787 million for Brian Gilvary. g Represents vestings of shares at the end of the performance period based on performance achieved under rules of the plan, pro-rated for time served, and includes reinvested dividends on the shares vested. This 2018-2020 award vested on 19 February 2021, when the market price was £2.72 for each share, and $22.87 for each ADS. As they were received post-employment, the value of these vested shares are included in the payments to past directors section on page 122.

If the committee assesses that there has been a material deterioration in safety and environmental performance, or there have been major incidents, either of which reveal underlying weaknesses in safety and environmental management, then it may conclude that shares should vest only in part, or not at all. In reaching its conclusion, the committee obtains advice from the SAS committee. There is no identified minimum vesting threshold level. ‘Comp’ denotes compulsory deferral, ‘Vol’ denotes voluntary deferral, and ‘Mat’ denotes matching awards. b Bob Dudley received awards in the form of ADSs. The above numbers reflect calculated equivalents in ordinary shares. One ADS is equivalent to six ordinary shares. c Bob Dudley has voluntarily agreed to defer vesting of these awards until one year post employment. d Face values have been calculated using market prices of ordinary shares on the dates of award, as follows; £4.46 on 11 February 2015; £3.68 on 4 March 2016; £4.72 on 19 May 2017; £5.88 on 22 May 2018; £5.37 on 19 February 2019; £4.58 on 18 February 2020. e Represents vestings of shares at the end of the deferral period and includes reinvested dividends on the shares vested. The market price of each share used to determine the total value at vesting on 18 February 2020 was £4.54. The additional reinvested dividend shares were delivered on 5 November 2020, at a market price of £2.03. The adjusted amount reported as 2019 income on the single figure table is therefore £1.529 million. f Represents vesting of shares made at the end of the deferral period, prorated for 54 months’ service out of 60 months’ vesting period, and includes reinvested dividends thereon. The market price of each share used to determine the total value at vesting on 19 February 2021 was £2.72. As they were received post-employment, the values of these vested shares are included in the payments to past directors section on page 122. g Brian Gilvary has voluntarily agreed to defer vesting of this 2016 matching award to at least one year post employment. h In line with the 2017 policy, these compulsory deferrals of Bob and Brian’s 2017 bonus were included in the single figure of total remuneration reported for 2017 and therefore the values of these shares are not included as payments to past directors.

121 Corporate governance bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Post employment share ownership interests Bob Dudley and Brian Gilvary have, and will continue to retain, significant interests in bp post employment. Under our 2017 policy, they gave their personal commitment as executive directors to maintain actual holdings equivalent to two and a half times salary for two years post employment. Their ongoing interests in share awards under group plans which remain subject to vesting and/or holding periods materially exceed the two and a half times salary threshold, and thus guarantee that they will continue to meet their minimum shareholding commitment. Although we instituted a formal post employment share ownership requirement as part of our 2020 policy, given the foregoing, we have not modified the requirements for these former executives. Chair and non-executive director outcomes and interests The remuneration policy for the chair and non-executive directors (NEDs) was approved at the 2020 AGM and implemented during 2020. Fee structure The table below shows the fee structure for the chair and NEDs, per our 2020 policy. The chair is not eligible for committee chairmanship and membership fees or intercontinental travel allowance. Fees £ thousand Chair 785 Senior independent directora 120 Board member 90 Audit, geopolitical, remuneration and SAS committees chairmanship feesb 30 Committee membership feec 20 Intercontinental travel allowance 5 a The senior independent director is eligible for committee chairmanship fees and intercontinental travel allowance plus any committee membership fees. b Committee chairs do not receive an additional membership fee for the committee they chair. c For members of the audit, geopolitical, SAS and remuneration committees. As disclosed in our 2019 report, in early 2020 a revised fee structure was adopted for implementation with effect from 1 June 2020. The implementation of that revised fee structure was postponed on account of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken by bp in response. With effect from 1 January 2021, a fee for membership of the people and governance committee has been introduced given the increased time commitment associated with the expanded responsibilities of this committee. The fee is in line with other committee membership fees. The senior independent director has waived her entitlement to this committee membership fee. The geopolitical advisory council was constituted with effect from 1 January 2021. Fees of £10,000 and £15,000 are payable for membership of and chairing the council, respectively. The fee structure for 2021 remains otherwise unchanged and the board will review the situation again during the year. The table below shows the fees paid and applicable benefits for the year ended 31 December 2020. Benefits include travel and other expenses relating to the attendance at board and other meetings. As chair throughout 2020, Helge Lund had the use of a fully maintained office for company business, a car and driver, and security advice in London. Benefits values have been grossed up using a tax rate of 45%, where relevant, as an estimation of tax due. 2020 remuneration (audited) Fees Benefits Totala £ thousand 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 Nils Andersenb 38 161 1 11 39 172 Dame Alison Carnwathb 110 115 2 33 112 148 Pamela Daley 140 164 3 37 143 201 Sir Ian Davisb 143 165 1 5 143 170 Professor Dame Ann Dowlingc 135 140 0 3 135 143 Helge Lund (Chair) 785 785 25 95 810 880 Melody Meyer 166 152 4 16 170 168 Tushar Morzariab 37 – 0 – 37 – Brendan Nelson 140 150 3 11 143 161 Paula Rosput Reynolds 174 170 3 36 177 206 Sir John Sawers 140 145 0 1 140 146 a Due to rounding, the totals may not agree exactly with the sum of the component parts. b Nils Andersen resigned on 18 March 2020.

Payments for loss of office (audited) Brian Gilvary received a payment in lieu of notice of £447,950 relating to the part of his 12-month notice period that followed his retirement on 30 June 2020. As detailed on page 120, Bob Dudley deferred the vesting of various deferred and matching share awards, related to annual bonus outcomes from 2014 to 2019, until at least one year post retirement. Of these, awards under the 2014 policy (for bonus years 2014, 2015 and 2016) were not included in the single figures of total remuneration, therefore the values of these awards will be disclosed in the payments to past directors section of the relevant annual report following vesting. Similarly, Brian Gilvary deferred the vesting of his 2016 matching share award until at least one year post retirement. The value of this award will be disclosed in the payments to past directors section of the relevant annual report following vesting. Payments to past directors (audited) Since leaving employment, Bob Dudley and Brian Gilvary have received shares upon vesting of the awards listed below: (1) Bob Dudley received 410,922 shares on vesting of his 2018-20 performance share award on 19 February 2021. Based on a share price of $22.78 this vesting was valued at $1,566,298. This award reflects the 32.5% vesting outcome, and has been pro-rated for 27 months’ service through the three-year performance period. (2) Brian Gilvary received 227,337 shares on vesting of his 2018-20 performance share award on 19 February 2021. Based on a share price of £2.72 this vesting was valued at £618,357. This award reflects the 32.5% vesting outcome, and has been pro-rated for 30 months’ service through the three-year performance period. (3) Brian Gilvary received 402,227 shares on vesting of his 2015 matching award on 19 February 2021. Based on a share price of £2.72 this vesting was valued at £1,094,057. This award has been pro-rated for 54 months’ service through the five-year vesting period. Bob Dudley was also provided with post-employment medical benefits amounting to $14,359, ongoing car and driver benefits in the UK, amounting to $44,429, and relocation benefits to assist his repatriation to the US, amounting to $47,186. We made no other payments within the scope of the disclosure requirements to any past director of bp during 2020 (we have no de minimis threshold for such disclosures).

Independence and advice The board considers all committee members to be independent with no personal financial interest, other than as shareholders, in the committee’s decisions. Further detail on the activities of the committee, advice received, and shareholder engagement is set out in the remuneration committee report on page 105. During 2020 Ben Mathews, who was employed by the company and reported to the chair of the board, acted as secretary to the remuneration committee. The committee also received advice on various matters relating to the remuneration of executive directors and senior management from Helmut Schuster, former EVP, group human resources, Kerry Dryburgh, EVP, people and culture (from 1 July 2020) and Ashok Pillai, SVP, reward and wellbeing. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (‘PwC’) continued to provide independent advice to the committee in 2020, following its appointment as independent advisor to the committee in September 2017, following a competitive tender process. None of PwC’s consultants advising the committee have any connection with the company’s directors. PwC advice included, for example, support with remuneration benchmarking and updates on market practice. PwC is a member of the Remuneration Consulting Group and, as such, operates under the code of conduct in relation to executive remuneration consulting in the UK. The committee is satisfied that the advice received is objective and independent. Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP (‘Freshfields’) provided legal advice on specific compliance matters to the committee. PwC and Freshfields provide other advice in their respective areas to the group. During the year, PwC provided bp with services including: subsidiary company secretarial support; digital and IT services; low carbon strategy consulting; internal audit subject matter expertise and trading transformation. Total fees or other charges (based on an hourly rate) for the provision of remuneration advice to the committee in 2020 (save in respect of legal advice) were £110,262 to PwC. Considerations related to the Corporate Governance Code When setting the 2020 policy, the committee concluded that the scorecard- based approach to setting targets and measuring outcomes provides great clarity in our ability to engage transparently with shareholders and the wider workforce on remuneration. Thus, bp continues to operate a simple structure of market-aligned salary with annual and three-year performance- based incentives. Risks are managed through careful setting of performance measures and targets, and broad options to apply committee discretion in assessing outcomes, such as the decision to pay no annual bonus for 2020. These are complemented with robust malus and clawback measures. Remuneration outcomes are predictable, as shown in the scenario charts of the 2020 policy, and proportional by virtue of the challenging performance levels required to achieve target pay outcomes. Through material weighting in measures related to safety, sustainability and strategy, as shown on page 109, remuneration aligns closely with bp’s culture, as expressed through our purpose and ambition. Shareholder engagement Throughout 2020 we continued to discuss remuneration policy and approach with many of our largest shareholders, as well as investor representative bodies. We plan to continue this dialogue in 2021, as we consider issues and make decisions related to the implementation of our remuneration policy for 2021 and beyond.

124 bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 Policy implementation for 2021 The table below shows how the remuneration policy approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM will be implemented in 2021, alongside a summary of key features. For the full remuneration policy, please go to bp.com/remuneration Salary and benefits To provide fixed remuneration to reflect the scale and complexity of both the business and the role, and to be competitive with the external market. When setting salaries, the committee considers practice in other oil and gas majors as well as European and US companies of a similar size, geographic spread and business dynamic to bp. Percentage increases for executive directors will not exceed increases for the broader employee population, other than in specific circumstances identified by the committee (e.g. in response to a substantial change in responsibilities). Bernard Looney’s salary will increase by 2.75% to £1,335,750 following the 2021 AGM. Murray Auchincloss’s salary will increase by 8% to £750,500 following the 2021 AGM. This compares to an increase in excess of 4% to our UK salaried staff effective from 1 April, our annual salary review date. Benefits will remain unchanged for 2021 and include car-related provisions (or cash in lieu), security assistance, insurance and medical cover. Retirement benefits Executive directors normally participate in the company retirement plans that operate in their home country. New appointees from within the bp group retain previously accrued benefits. For their service as a director, retirement benefits will be no more than the median provision offered to the wider workforce in the UK. For future appointments, the committee will carefully review any retirement benefits to be granted to a new director, taking account of retirement policies across the wider group and any arrangements currently in place. Bernard and Murray are deferred members of final salary pension plans related to their service prior to appointment as executive directors, but now receive a cash allowance in lieu of retirement benefits. Bernard’s cash allowance will be unchanged at 15%, and he accrues no further value under his deferred pension. Murray’s cash allowance will be unchanged at 15%, and he accrues no further value under his US deferred pension. Annual bonus Bonus is measured against an annual scorecard. The committee holds discretion to choose the specific measures and the relative weightings adopted in the annual scorecard, to reflect the annual plan as agreed with the board. Numeric scales are set for each measure, to score outcomes relative to targets. A scorecard outcome of 1.0 reflects the target outcome, and half of the maximum outcome.

Consolidated financial statements of the bp group
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and board of directors of BP p.l.c.
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated group balance sheets of BP p.l.c. and subsidiaries (together the company) as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated group income statements, group statements of comprehensive income, group statements of changes in equity, and group cash flow statements, for each of the three years in the period ended 31 December 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the 'financial statements'). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 31 December 2020, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the company's internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2020, based on criteria established in the UK Financial Reporting Council’s Guidance on Risk Management, Internal Control and Related Financial and Business Reporting relating to internal control over financial reporting and our report dated 22 March 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion on the group's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the group's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the group's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
1.Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) assets – Impairment of upstream oil and gas – Notes 1, 4 and 12 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The group balance sheet at 31 December 2020 includes PP&E of $115 billion, of which $74 billion is oil and gas properties within the upstream segment.
Management’s best estimate of oil and gas price assumptions for value–in-use impairment tests were revised downwards during 2020 compared to the prior year assumptions, as set out in Note 1 on page 161. The downward revisions reflect an expectation that the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic will accelerate the pace of transition to a lower carbon economy and energy system. Given the significance of these revisions, management tested all upstream CGUs for impairment.
Management recorded $12.9 billion of pre-tax upstream CGU impairment charges, in large part due to the oil and gas prices revisions detailed above, and $0.1 billion of pre-tax upstream CGU impairment reversals. Further information has been provided in Note 1 on page 160, Note 4 on page 179 and Note 12 on page 189.
Through our audit risk assessment procedures, we have a identified a critical audit matter in respect of PP&E impairment principally due to the following three key management estimates in management’s determination of the level of impairment charge and/or reversal to record.
Oil and gas prices - bp’s oil and gas price assumptions have a significant impact on many CGU impairment assessments performed across the upstream segment, and are inherently uncertain. As noted above, the estimation of future prices is subject to increased uncertainty given climate change, the global energy transition and the impact of COVID-19. There is a risk that management do not forecast reasonable “best estimate” oil and gas price forecasts when assessing CGUs for impairment, leading to material misstatements. These price assumptions are highly judgmental and are pervasive inputs to most upstream impairment tests, such that any misstatements would also aggregate. There is also a risk that management’s oil and gas price related disclosures are not reasonable.
Discount rates - Given the long timeframes involved, certain CGU impairment assessments are sensitive to the discount rate applied. Discount rates should reflect the return required by the market and the risks inherent in the cash flows being discounted. There is a risk that management do not assume reasonable discount rates, adjusted as applicable for country risks and relevant tax rates, leading to material misstatements. Determining a reasonable discount rate is highly judgmental and, consistent with price assumptions above, the discount rate assumption is also a pervasive input across upstream impairment tests, before adjustments for asset specific risks and tax rates, such that any misstatements would also aggregate.
Reserves and resources estimates - A key input to certain CGU impairment assessments is the oil and gas production forecast, which is based on underlying reserves estimates and field specific development assumptions. Certain CGU production forecasts include specific risk adjusted resource volumes, in addition to proved or probable reserves estimates, that are inherently less certain than reserves; and assumptions related to these volumes can be particularly judgemental. There is a risk that material misstatements could arise from unreasonable production forecasts for individually material CGUs and/or from the aggregation of systematic flaws in bp’s reserves and resources estimation policies across the segment.
150
bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020

Financial statements
We identified certain individual CGUs with a total carrying value of $32.1 billion which we determined would be most at risk of material impairment charges or reversals as a result of a plausible change in the key assumptions, particularly oil and gas price and discount rate assumptions.
We also identified CGUs with a further $16.0 billion of combined carrying value which were less sensitive as they would be potentially at risk, in aggregate, to a material impairment or reversal by a plausible change in some or all of the key assumptions.
Further information regarding these sensitivities is given in Note 1 on page 167.
How the Critical Audit Matter was addressed in the Audit
We tested management’s key internal controls over the estimation of oil and gas prices, discount rates and reserve and resources estimates, as well as key internal controls over the performance of the impairment assessments where we identified audit risks. In addition, we conducted the following substantive procedures.
Oil and gas prices
We independently developed a reasonable range of forecasts based on external data obtained, against which we compared management’s oil and gas price assumptions in order to challenge whether they are reasonable.
In developing this range we obtained a variety of reputable and reliable third party forecasts, peer information and other relevant market data.
In challenging management's price assumptions, we considered the extent to which they and each of the forecast pricing scenarios obtained from third parties reflect the impact of lower oil and gas demand due to climate change, the energy transition and COVID-19.
We specifically analysed third party forecasts stated as being, or interpreted by us as being, consistent with achieving the Paris 2°C Goal and considered whether they presented contradictory audit evidence.
We challenged management’s disclosures in Notes 1 and 4 including in relation to the sensitivity of oil and gas price assumptions to reduced demand scenarios whether due to climate change or other reasons.
Discount rates
We independently evaluated bp’s discount rates used in impairment tests with input from Deloitte valuation specialists, against relevant third party market and peer data.
We assessed whether specific country risks and tax adjustments were reasonably reflected in bp’s discount rates.
We challenged management’s disclosures in Notes 1 and 4 including in relation to the sensitivity of discount rate assumptions.
Reserves and resources estimates
With the assistance of Deloitte oil and gas reserves specialists we:
assessed bp’s reserves and resources estimation methods and policies;
assessed, guided by our risk assessment, how these policies had been applied to a sample of bp’s reserves and resources estimates which included those that we judged to represent the greatest risk of material misstatement;
read a sample of reports provided by management’s external reserves experts and assessed the scope of work and findings of these third parties;
assessed the competence, capability and objectivity of bp’s internal and external reserve experts; through understanding their relevant professional qualifications and experience.
compared the production forecasts used in the impairment tests with management’s approved reserves and resources estimates, those estimates having been subjected to the controls that we had tested; and
performed a retrospective assessment to check for indications of estimation bias over time
Other procedures
We challenged management’s CGU determinations, and considered whether there was any contradictory evidence present.
We validated that bp’s impairment methodology was acceptable under IFRS and tested the integrity and mechanical accuracy of certain impairment models based on our risk assessment.
We challenged other CGU specific valuation input assumptions, including but not limited to material cost and tax forecasts, by comparing forecasts to approved internal and third party budgets, development plans, independent expectations and historical actuals.
Where relevant, we assessed management’s historical forecasting accuracy and whether the estimates had been determined and applied on a consistent basis across the group.
2.Intangible assets – Write-off of Exploration and Appraisal (E&A) assets, included within 'intangible assets' within the Group balance sheet – Notes 1, 8 and 15 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The group capitalises E&A expenditure on a project-by-project basis in line with IFRS 6 'Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources'. At 31 December 2020, $4.1 billion of E&A expenditure was carried on the group balance sheet.
E&A activity carries inherent risk and a significant proportion of projects fail, requiring the write-off or impairment of the related capitalised costs when the relevant criteria in IFRS 6 and bp’s accounting policy are met.
Furthermore, similar to upstream PP&E assets discussed above, E&A assets are also potentially exposed to climate change, the global energy transition, and COVID-19, in that a greater number of E&A projects may not proceed as a consequence of lower forecast future demand and oil and gas pricing, lower appetite by management and the board to allocate capital to certain projects, and/or increased objections from stakeholders to the development of certain projects.
As a result of bp’s revised strategy announced in 2020, including a reduced capital frame, a net-zero carbon ambition and a decision not to explore in new countries, and reflecting lower oil and gas price assumptions, management identified IFRS 6 impairment indicators at a number of upstream’s largest E&A assets during the year. This led to management recording $9.9 billion of pre-tax E&A write-offs and impairments during 2020, detailed further in Notes 1 and 8 on pages 164 and 184.
The determination of when E&A costs should be written off or impaired, or retained on the balance sheet as E&A assets, can be complex and require significant judgement from management in assessing this. There is a risk that certain capitalised E&A costs are written off or impaired when they
bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020
151


should not have been, due to inappropriate and/or inconsistent application of IFRS 6 impairment criteria and bp’s accounting policy, leading to material misstatements. There is also a risk that E&A costs remain capitalised on the balance sheet which ought to have been written off or impaired, leading to material misstatements.
We identified a critical audit matter for the individually material E&A write-offs recorded in 2020, specifically the Kaskida and Tigris (Paleogene) licenses that were the largest part of the $2.5 billion Gulf of Mexico write downs, the Terre de Grace oil sands project that was the largest part of the $2.5 billion Canada write downs and the three licenses that were the largest part of the $2.1 billion Brazil write-downs. We also identified higher risks in relation to certain other 2020 E&A write-offs and impairments recorded; and higher risks at certain assets within the $4.4 billion of E&A costs that remain capitalised under IFRS 6 at 31 December 2020.
How the Critical Audit Matter was addressed in the Audit
We obtained an understanding of the group’s E&A assessment processes and tested management’s key internal controls. This included the key internal controls operated by management for the key decisions taken as a result of bp’s new strategy, which when taken together with the lower forecast oil and gas prices, led to a large portion of the material write-offs and impairments recorded during 2020.
We challenged management’s key E&A judgements, with regards to the impairment criteria of IFRS 6 and bp’s accounting policy. We corroborated key internal and external evidence relevant to significant write-offs and the assets that remained on the balance sheet. This included analysing evidence of future E&A plans, budgets and capital allocation decisions, assessing management’s key accounting judgement papers, holding discussions to challenge top level operational and finance management on the key judgements taken and reading meeting minutes, license documentation and evidence of active dialogue with partners and regulators including negotiations to renew licences or modify key terms, and external press releases.
For E&A assets that were written off or impaired by management in 2020, including in particular those based upon decisions taken in line with management’s new strategy, we considered whether evidence (and potential contradictory evidence) about activity in the year, future budgeted expenditure and exploration/appraisal plans, including plans and expectations for licence relinquishment or retention, were consistent with the decisions taken by management to write-off or impair these assets.
We assessed whether management had consistently applied IFRS 6 and bp’s accounting policy to impairment assessments, taking account of in year judgements and historical look back considerations, and the relevant facts and circumstances of specific E&A assets.
When considering capital allocation decision making, we considered whether the progression of any projects that remain on the balance sheet would be inconsistent with elements of bp’s new strategy and in particular its net zero carbon commitments.
3.Accounting for structured commodity transactions (SCTs) within the trading and shipping (T&S) function and the valuation of other Level 3 financial instruments, where fraud risks may arise in revenue recognition (potentially impacting all financial statement accounts, in particular finance debt) - Notes 1, 20, 22, 29 and 30 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
In the normal course of business, T&S enters into a variety of transactions for delivering value across the group’s supply chain. The nature of these transactions requires significant audit effort to be directed towards challenging management’s valuation estimates or the adopted accounting treatment.
We have undertaken an analysis of the portfolio composition and revisited our risk assessment throughout the year focussing particularly on the impact of COVID-19 on the valuation assertion. This process has provided us with a deeper understanding of the impact of market volatility, demand destruction and the changing structure of the markets in which bp operates.
Accounting for structured commodity transactions:
T&S may also enter into a variety of transactions which we refer to as SCTs. We generally consider a SCT to be an arrangement having one of the following features:
Two or more counterparties with non-standard contractual terms;
Multiple commodity-based transactions; and/or
Contractual arrangements entered into in contemplation of each other.
SCTs are often long-dated, can have a significant multi-year financial impact, and may require the use of complex valuation models or unobservable inputs when determining their fair value, in which case they will be classified as level 3 financial instruments under IFRS 13, ‘Fair Value Measurement’.
Accounting for SCTs is typically complex and involves significant judgment, as these transactions often feature multiple elements that will have a material impact on the presentation and disclosure of these transactions in the financial statements and on key performance measures, including in particular the classification of liabilities as finance debt. Accordingly, we have identified the accounting for SCTs as a critical audit matter.
Level 3 financial instruments:
Unlike other financial instruments whose values or inputs are readily observable and therefore more easily independently corroborated, there are certain transactions for which the valuation is inherently more subjective due to the use of either complex valuation models and/or unobservable inputs. These instruments are classified as level 3 financial assets or liabilities. This degree of subjectivity also gives rise to a risk of potential fraud through management incorporating bias in determining fair values. Accordingly, we have identified these as a significant audit risk.
As at 31 December 2020, the group’s total financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value were $12.7 billion and $8.4 billion, of which level 3 derivative financial assets were $6.4 billion and level 3 derivative financial liabilities were $5.3 billion.
How the Critical Audit Matter was addressed in the Audit
Accounting for SCTs
For structured commodity transactions, we:
Tested controls related to the accounting for complex transactions.
Developed an understanding of the commercial rationale of the transactions through reading transaction documents and executed agreements, and discussions with management.
Performed a detailed accounting analysis for a sample of SCTs involving significant day one profits, deferred working capital arrangements, offtake arrangements and/or commitments. We confirmed that any day one profits were appropriately deferred.

bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020

Financial statements
For SCTs which were identified during 2018 and 2019 and that continue through 2020, we have refreshed our assessment in 2020 taking account of any amendments to the contracts.
To assess the appropriateness of the accounting treatment of SCTs, we embedded technical accounting specialists within the audit team.
Level 3 financial instruments:
To address the complexities associated with auditing the value of level 3 financial instruments, the engagement team included valuation specialists having significant quantitative and modelling expertise to assist in performing our audit procedures. Our valuation audit procedures included the following control and substantive procedures:
We tested the group’s valuation controls including the:
Model certification control, which is designed to review a model’s theoretical soundness and the appropriateness of its valuation methodology; and
Independent price verification control, which is designed to review the appropriateness of valuation inputs that are not observable and are significant to the financial instrument’s valuation.
We performed substantive valuation testing procedures at interim and year-end balance sheet date, including:
Comparing management’s input assumptions against the expected assumptions of other market participants and observable market data;
Evaluating management’s valuation methodologies against standard valuation practice and analysing whether a consistent framework is applied across the business period over period; and
Engaging a Deloitte valuations specialist to challenge models, develop fair value estimates and verify consistency in management’s modelling and input assumptions throughout the year. Our independent estimates were established using independently sourced inputs (where available). We evaluated whether the differences between our independent estimates and management’s estimates were within a reasonable range. In situations where we utilised management’s inputs, these were compared to external data sources to determine whether they were reasonable.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and board of directors of BP p.l.c.

Opinion on internal control over financial reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of BP p.l.c. and subsidiaries (the Company) as at 31 December 2020, based on the criteria established in the UK Financial Reporting Council’s Guidance on Risk Management, Internal Control and Related Financial and Business Reporting relating to internal control over financial reporting (UK FRC Guidance). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as at 31 December 2020, based on the criteria established in the UK FRC Guidance.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020, of the Company and our report dated 22 March 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for opinion
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes on financial statements
1. Significant accounting policies, judgements, estimates and assumptions
Authorization of financial statements and statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
The consolidated financial statements of BP p.l.c and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as bp or the group) for the year ended 31 December 2020 were approved and signed by the chief executive officer and chairman on 22 March 2021 having been duly authorized to do so by the board of directors. BP p.l.c. is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), IFRS adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union (EU) and in accordance with the provisions of the UK Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under international accounting standards. IFRS as adopted by the EU differs in certain respects from IFRS as issued by the IASB. The differences have no impact on the group’s consolidated financial statements for the years presented. As a result of the UK's withdrawal from the EU, with effect for periods starting subsequent to the year ended 31 December 2020, the consolidated financial statements will also be prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards. There were no differences between IFRS as adopted by the EU and UK-adopted international accounting standards as at 1 January 2021. The UK’s withdrawal from the EU has not had and is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies and accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions of the group are set out below.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with IFRS and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations issued and effective for the year ended 31 December 2020. The accounting policies that follow have been consistently applied to all years presented, except where otherwise indicated.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest million dollars ($ million), except where otherwise indicated.
Significant accounting policies: use of judgements, estimates and assumptions
Inherent in the application of many of the accounting policies used in preparing the consolidated financial statements is the need for bp management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual outcomes could differ from the estimates and assumptions used. The accounting judgements and estimates that have a significant impact on the results of the group are set out in boxed text below, and should be read in conjunction with the information provided in the Notes on financial statements. The areas requiring the most significant judgement and estimation in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are: accounting for the investment in Rosneft; exploration and appraisal intangible assets; the recoverability of asset carrying values, including the estimation of reserves; supplier financing arrangements; derivative financial instruments; provisions and contingencies; and pensions and other post-retirement benefits. Judgements and estimates, not all of which are significant, made in assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and climate change and the transition to a lower carbon economy on the consolidated financial statements are also set out in boxed text below. Where an estimate has a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year this is specifically noted within the boxed text.
Judgements and estimates made in assessing the impact of climate change and the transition to a lower carbon economy
Climate change and the transition to a lower carbon economy were considered in preparing the consolidated financial statements. These may have significant impacts on the currently reported amounts of the group’s assets and liabilities discussed below and on similar assets and liabilities that may be recognized in the future.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment, and goodwill
The energy transition is likely to impact the future prices of commodities such as oil and natural gas which in turn may affect the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment, and goodwill in the oil and gas industry. Management’s best estimate of oil and natural gas price assumptions for value-in-use impairment testing were revised downwards during 2020 and the period covered extended to 2050. The revised assumptions sit within the range of external forecasts considered by management and are broadly in line with a range of transition paths consistent with the goals of the Paris climate change agreement. See significant judgements and estimates: recoverability of asset carrying values for further information including sensitivity analysis in relation to reasonably possible changes in the price assumptions.
Impairments were recognized during 2020 on certain Upstream oil and gas properties as a result of the lower price assumptions. See note 4 for further information.
No material impairments were recognized on Downstream assets. Though the energy transition may impact demand for certain refined products in the future, management anticipates sufficiently robust demand for the remainder of each refinery’s useful life.
Headroom on goodwill balances was reduced, however the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount. See note 14 for further information including sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used to test goodwill for impairment.
Management will continue to review price assumptions as the energy transition progresses and this may result in impairment charges or reversals in the future.
Exploration and appraisal intangible assets
The energy transition may affect the future development or viability of exploration prospects. The lower price assumptions and work to develop bp’s new strategy resulted in a review of the recoverability of exploration and appraisal intangible assets during 2020. Certain intangible assets were subsequently written-off. See significant judgement: exploration and appraisal intangible assets and note 8 for further information.
The revised long-term price assumptions for investment appraisal (see page 28) help create a framework that seeks to help ensure that currently unsanctioned future capital expenditure on property plant and equipment, and exploration and appraisal intangibles, is aligned with bp’s new strategy.
Property, plant and equipment – depreciation and expected useful lives
The energy transition may curtail the expected useful lives of oil and gas industry assets thereby accelerating depreciation charges. However, the significant majority of bp’s existing Upstream oil and natural gas properties are likely to be fully depreciated within the next 10 years and, as outlined in bp's new strategy, oil and natural gas production will remain an important part of bp’s business activities over that period. Similarly, for Downstream refineries, demand for refined products is expected to remain strong over the remaining useful life of existing assets.

bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020

Financial statements
1. Significant accounting policies, judgements, estimates and assumptions – continued
Therefore, management does not expect the useful lives of bp’s reported property, plant and equipment to change and do not consider this to be a significant accounting judgement or estimate. Significant capital expenditure is still required for ongoing projects and therefore the useful lives of future capital expenditure may, however, be different. See significant accounting policy: property, plant and equipment for more information.
Provisions: decommissioning
The energy transition may bring forward the decommissioning of oil and gas industry assets thereby increasing the present value of associated decommissioning provisions. The majority of bp’s Upstream oil and gas properties are expected to start decommissioning within the next two decades and management does not expect any reasonable change in the expected timeframe to have a material effect on the Upstream decommissioning provisions, assuming cash flows remain unchanged. Decommissioning cost estimates are based on the known regulatory and external environment. These cost estimates may change in the future, including as a result of the transition to a lower carbon economy. For Downstream refineries, decommissioning provisions are generally not recognized as the associated obligations have indeterminate settlement dates, typically driven by the cessation of manufacturing. Management will continue to review facts and circumstances to assess if decommissioning provisions need to be recognized. See significant judgements and estimates: provisions for further information.


Judgements and estimates made in assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic environment
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the following areas involving judgement and estimates were identified as most relevant with regards to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and current economic environment.
Going concern
Forecast liquidity has been assessed under a number of stressed scenarios, including a significant decline in oil prices over the 12-month period. Reverse stress tests performed indicated that the group will continue to operate as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements even if the Brent price fell to zero. No material uncertainties over going concern or significant judgements or estimates in the assessment were identified. See also Note 29 Financial instruments and financial risk factors – Liquidity risk for further information.
Discount rate assumptions
The discount rates used for impairment testing and provisions were reassessed during the year in light of changing economic and geopolitical outlooks. The impact was determined not to be significant and the post-tax impairment discount rate and nominal provisions discount rate were unchanged from 2019. Pre-tax impairment discount rates and post-tax premiums for certain higher-risk countries were changed but this did not have a material impact. See significant judgements and estimates: recoverability of asset carrying values and provisions for further information.
Oil and natural gas price assumptions
The price assumptions used in value-in-use impairment testing were revised downwards during the year, in part due to lower demand for oil and natural gas. Material impairment charges and exploration write-offs were recognized in the Upstream segment as a consequence of these price assumption changes. See significant judgements and estimates: recoverability of asset carrying values and exploration and appraisal intangible assets for further information.
Demand constraints for refined products during the year did not result in any material impairment charges on Downstream refinery assets.
Pensions and other post-retirement benefits
The volatility in the financial markets during 2020 impacted the assumptions used for determining the fair value of plan assets and the present value of defined benefit obligations in the group’s defined benefit pension plans. See significant estimate: pensions and other post-retirement benefits and note 24 for further information.
Impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost
The current economic environment and future credit risk outlook were considered in updating the estimate of expected credit loss allowances on financial assets measured at amortized cost. Whilst credit risk increased relative to 31 December 2019, there was also a significant reduction in the group's trade and other receivables balance. Therefore, the total expected credit loss allowances recognized as at 31 December 2020 did not significantly increase. Management does not consider the calculation of expected credit loss allowances to be a significant accounting estimate. See note 21 and 29 for further information.
Income taxes
The carrying amounts of the group’s deferred tax assets were reviewed and updated to the extent that there are changes in the probability of sufficient taxable profits being available to utilize the reported deferred tax assets. Management does not consider the measurement of deferred tax assets to be a significant accounting estimate. See significant accounting policy: income taxes and Note 9 for further information.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of BP p.l.c. and its subsidiaries drawn up to 31 December each year. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of their acquisition, being the date on which the group obtains control, including when control is obtained via potential voting rights, and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Intra-group balances and transactions, including unrealized profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated. Unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to bp shareholders. Included within non-controlling interests are perpetual subordinated hybrid bonds issued by a subsidiary and for which the group has the unconditional right to avoid transferring cash or another financial asset to the bondholders. Profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders is adjusted to reflect the coupon related to these hybrid bonds whether or not such distribution has been deferred.
Interests in other entities
Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date.
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount recognized for any non-controlling interest and the acquisition-date fair values of any previously held interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The amount recognized for any non-controlling interest is measured at the present ownership's proportionate share in
bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020

1. Significant accounting policies, judgements, estimates and assumptions – continued
the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. At the acquisition date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, expected to benefit from the combination’s synergies. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on business combinations prior to 1 January 2003 is stated at the previous carrying amount under UK generally accepted accounting practice, less subsequent impairments.
Goodwill may arise upon investments in joint ventures and associates, being the surplus of the cost of investment over the group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities. Any such goodwill is recorded within the corresponding investment in joint ventures and associates.
Goodwill may also arise upon acquisition of interests in joint operations that meet the definition of a business. The amount of goodwill separately recognized is the excess of the consideration transferred over the group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities.
Interests in joint arrangements
The results, assets and liabilities of joint ventures are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting as described below.
Certain of the group’s activities, particularly in the Upstream segment, are conducted through joint operations. bp recognizes, on a line-by-line basis in the consolidated financial statements, its share of the assets, liabilities and expenses of these joint operations incurred jointly with the other partners, along with the group’s income from the sale of its share of the output and any liabilities and expenses that the group has incurred in relation to the joint operation.
Interests in associates
The results, assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting as described below.
Significant judgement: investment in Rosneft
Judgement is required in assessing the level of control or influence over another entity in which the group holds an interest. For bp, the judgement that the group has significant influence over Rosneft Oil Company (Rosneft), a Russian oil and gas company is significant. As a consequence of this judgement, bp uses the equity method of accounting for its investment and bp's share of Rosneft's oil and natural gas reserves is included in the group's estimated net proved reserves of equity-accounted entities. If significant influence was not present, the investment would be accounted for as an investment in an equity instrument measured at fair value as described under 'Financial assets' below and no share of Rosneft's oil and natural gas reserves would be reported.
Significant influence is defined in IFRS as the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control of those policies. Significant influence is presumed when an entity owns 20% or more of the voting power of the investee. Significant influence is presumed not to be present when an entity owns less than 20% of the voting power of the investee.
bp owns 19.75% of the voting shares of Rosneft. Rosneft’s largest shareholder is Rosneftegaz JSC (Rosneftegaz), which is wholly owned by the Russian government. At 31 December 2020, Rosneftegaz held 40.4% (2019 50% plus one share) of the voting shares of Rosneft . IFRS identifies several indicators that may provide evidence of significant influence, including representation on the board of directors of the investee and participation in policy-making processes. bp’s group chief executive, Bernard Looney, was approved as a member of the board of directors of Rosneft in June 2020 as one of bp’s two nominated directors. bp’s other nominated director, Bob Dudley, has been a member of the Rosneft board since 2013. He is also chairman of the Rosneft board’s Strategic and Sustainable Development Committee. bp also holds the voting rights at general meetings of shareholders conferred by its 19.75% stake in Rosneft. Transactions by Rosneft in its own shares during the year have increased bp’s economic interest in Rosneft to 22.03% (2019 19.75%). bp's management considers, therefore, that the group has significant influence over Rosneft, as defined by IFRS.
The equity method of accounting
Under the equity method, an investment is carried on the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the group’s share of net assets of the entity, less distributions received and less any impairment in value of the investment. Loans advanced to equity-accounted entities that have the characteristics of equity financing are also included in the investment on the group balance sheet. The group income statement reflects the group’s share of the results after tax of the equity-accounted entity, adjusted to account for depreciation, amortization and any impairment of the equity-accounted entity’s assets based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. The group statement of comprehensive income includes the group’s share of the equity-accounted entity’s other comprehensive income. The group’s share of amounts recognized directly in equity by an equity-accounted entity is recognized in the group’s statement of changes in equity.
Financial statements of equity-accounted entities are prepared for the same reporting year as the group. Where material differences arise in the accounting policies used by the equity-accounted entity and those used by bp, adjustments are made to those financial statements to bring the accounting policies used into line with those of the group.
Unrealized gains on transactions, apart from those that meet the definition of a derivative, between the group and its equity-accounted entities are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in the equity-accounted entity.
The group assesses investments in equity-accounted entities for impairment whenever there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired. If any such objective evidence of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is compared with its recoverable amount, being the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the investment is written down to its recoverable amount.
Segmental reporting
The group’s operating segments are established on the basis of those components of the group that are evaluated regularly by the group chief executive, bp’s chief operating decision maker, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the group’s accounting policies described in this note, except that IFRS requires that the measure of profit or loss disclosed for each operating segment is the measure that is provided regularly to the chief operating decision maker. For bp, this measure of profit or loss is replacement cost profit before interest and tax which reflects the replacement cost of inventories sold in the period and is arrived at by excluding inventory holding gains and losses from profit before interest and tax. Replacement cost profit for the group is not a recognized measure under IFRS. For further information see Note 5.
For information on changes to bp's segmental reporting see ‘Change in segmentation from 1 January 2021’ below.

Foreign currency translation
In individual subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency of those entities at the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into the functional currency at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Any resulting exchange differences are included in the income statement, unless hedge accounting is applied. Non-monetary items, other than those measured at fair value, are not retranslated subsequent to initial recognition.
In the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of non-US dollar functional currency subsidiaries, joint ventures, associates, and related goodwill, are translated into US dollars at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The results and cash flows of non-US dollar functional currency subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are translated into US dollars using average rates of exchange. In the consolidated financial statements, exchange adjustments arising when the opening net assets and the profits for the year retained by non-US dollar functional currency subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are translated into US dollars are recognized in a separate component of equity and reported in other comprehensive income. Exchange gains and losses arising on long-term intra-group foreign currency borrowings used to finance the group’s non-US dollar investments are also reported in other comprehensive income if the borrowings form part of the net investment in the subsidiary, joint venture or associate. On disposal or for certain partial disposals of a non-US dollar functional currency subsidiary, joint venture or associate, the related accumulated exchange gains and losses recognized in equity are reclassified from equity to the income statement.
Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Significant non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification as held for sale, and actions required to complete the plan of sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for sale.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets, other than goodwill, include expenditure on the exploration for and evaluation of oil and natural gas resources, computer software, patents, licences and trademarks and are stated at the amount initially recognized, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets are carried initially at cost unless acquired as part of a business combination. Any such asset is measured at fair value at the date of the business combination and is recognized separately from goodwill if the asset is separable or arises from contractual or other legal rights.
Intangible assets with a finite life, other than capitalized exploration and appraisal costs as described below, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. For patents, licences and trademarks, expected useful life is the shorter of the duration of the legal agreement and economic useful life, and can range from three to fifteen years. Computer software costs generally have a useful life of three to five years.
The expected useful lives of assets and the amortization method are reviewed on an annual basis and, if necessary, changes in useful lives or the amortization method are accounted for prospectively.
Oil and natural gas exploration, appraisal and development expenditure
Oil and natural gas exploration, appraisal and development expenditure is accounted for using the principles of the successful efforts method of accounting as described below.
Licence and property acquisition costs
Exploration licence and leasehold property acquisition costs are capitalized within intangible assets and are reviewed at each reporting date to confirm that there is no indication that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. This review includes confirming that exploration drilling is still under way or planned or that it has been determined, or work is under way to determine, that the discovery is economically viable based on a range of technical and commercial considerations, and sufficient progress is being made on establishing development plans and timing. If no future activity is planned, the remaining balance of the licence and property acquisition costs is written off. Lower value licences are pooled and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of exploration. Upon internal approval for development and recognition of proved or sanctioned probable reserves of oil and natural gas, the relevant expenditure is transferred to property, plant and equipment.
Exploration and appraisal expenditure
Geological and geophysical exploration costs are recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs directly associated with an exploration well are initially capitalized as an intangible asset until the drilling of the well is complete and the results have been evaluated. These costs include employee remuneration, materials and fuel used, rig costs and payments made to contractors. If potentially commercial quantities of hydrocarbons are not found, the exploration well costs are written off. If hydrocarbons are found and, subject to further appraisal activity, are likely to be capable of commercial development, the costs continue to be carried as an asset. If it is determined that development will not occur, that is, the efforts are not successful, then the costs are expensed.
Costs directly associated with appraisal activity undertaken to determine the size, characteristics and commercial potential of a reservoir following the initial discovery of hydrocarbons, including the costs of appraisal wells where hydrocarbons were not found, are initially capitalized as an intangible asset. Upon internal approval for development and recognition of proved or sanctioned probable reserves, the relevant expenditure is transferred to property, plant and equipment. If development is not approved and no further activity is expected to occur, then the costs are expensed.
The determination of whether potentially economic oil and natural gas reserves have been discovered by an exploration well is usually made within one year of well completion, but can take longer, depending on the complexity of the geological structure. Exploration wells that discover potentially economic quantities of oil and natural gas and are in areas where major capital expenditure (e.g. an offshore platform or a pipeline) would be required before production could begin, and where the economic viability of that major capital expenditure depends on the successful completion of further exploration or appraisal work in the area, remain capitalized on the balance sheet as long as such work is under way or firmly planned.

1. Significant accounting policies, judgements, estimates and assumptions – continued
Development expenditure
Expenditure on the construction, installation and completion of infrastructure facilities such as platforms, pipelines and the drilling of development wells, including service and unsuccessful development or delineation wells, is capitalized within property, plant and equipment and is depreciated from the commencement of production as described below in the accounting policy for property, plant and equipment.
Significant judgement: exploration and appraisal intangible assets
Judgement is required to determine whether it is appropriate to continue to carry costs associated with exploration wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells on the balance sheet. This includes costs relating to exploration licences or leasehold property acquisitions. It is not unusual to have such costs remaining suspended on the balance sheet for several years while additional appraisal drilling and seismic work on the potential oil and natural gas field is performed or while the optimum development plans and timing are established.The costs are carried based on the current regulatory and political environment or any known changes to that environment. All such carried costs are subject to regular technical, commercial and management review on at least an annual basis to confirm the continued intent to develop, or otherwise extract value from, the discovery. Where this is no longer the case, the costs are immediately expensed.
As a result of the revised price assumptions detailed in Significant judgements and estimates: recoverability of asset carrying values below and a review of bp’s long-term strategic plan, management reviewed bp’s exploration prospects and the carrying value of the associated intangible assets. The outcome of the review resulted in revised judgements over management's expectations to extract value from certain prospects, thereby leading to material write-offs of the associated exploration and appraisal intangible assets in 2020.
The carrying amount of capitalized costs and further information on the write-offs are included in Note 8.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment owned by the group is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price or construction cost, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, the initial estimate of any decommissioning obligation, if applicable, and, for assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, directly attributable general or specific finance costs. The purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset.
Expenditure on major maintenance refits or repairs comprises the cost of replacement assets or parts of assets, inspection costs and overhaul costs. Where an asset or part of an asset that was separately depreciated is replaced and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group, the expenditure is capitalized and the carrying amount of the replaced asset is derecognized. Inspection costs associated with major maintenance programmes are capitalized and amortized over the period to the next inspection. Overhaul costs for major maintenance programmes, and all other maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Oil and natural gas properties, including certain related pipelines, are depreciated using a unit-of-production method. The cost of producing wells is amortized over proved developed reserves. Licence acquisition, common facilities and future decommissioning costs are amortized over total proved reserves. The unit-of-production rate for the depreciation of common facilities takes into account expenditures incurred to date, together with estimated future capital expenditure expected to be incurred relating to as yet undeveloped reserves expected to be processed through these common facilities. Information on the carrying amounts of the group’s oil and natural gas properties, together with the amounts recognized in the income statement as depreciation, depletion and amortization is contained in Note 12 and Note 5 respectively.
Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves determined in accordance with US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, including the application of prices using 12-month historical price data in assessing the commerciality of technical volumes, are typically used to calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization charges for the group’s oil and gas properties. Therefore, where this approach is adopted, charges are not dependent on management forecasts of future oil and gas prices.
However, for certain oil and natural gas assets, the use of reserves determined in accordance with SEC regulations would result in a charge that is not reflective of the pattern in which the future economic benefits are expected to be consumed. In these limited instances other approaches are applied to determine the reserves base used to calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization, including the use of management’s best estimate of price assumptions as disclosed in Significant judgements and estimates: recoverability of asset carrying values, to determine the commerciality of technical proved reserves.
The impact of changes in estimated proved reserves is dealt with prospectively by amortizing the remaining carrying value of the asset over the expected future production.
The estimation of oil and natural gas reserves and bp’s process to manage reserves bookings is described in Supplementary information on oil and natural gas on page 231, which is unaudited. Details on bp’s proved reserves and production compliance and governance processes are provided on page 312. The 2020 movements in proved reserves are reflected in the tables showing movements in oil and natural gas reserves by region in Supplementary information on oil and natural gas (unaudited) on page 231.
Other property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life. The typical useful lives of the group’s other property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Land improvements
15 to 25 years
Buildings
20 to 50 years
Refineries
20 to 30 years
Petrochemicals plants
20 to 30 years
Pipelines
10 to 50 years
Service stations
15 years
Office equipment
3 to 10 years
Fixtures and fittings
5 to 15 years
The expected useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed on an annual basis and, if necessary, changes in useful lives or the depreciation method are accounted for prospectively.An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the period in which the item is derecognized.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and goodwill
The group assesses assets or groups of assets, called cash-generating units (CGUs), for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or CGU may not be recoverable; for example, changes in the group’s business plans, plans to dispose rather than retain assets, changes in the group’s assumptions about commodity prices, low plant utilization, evidence of physical damage or, for oil and gas assets, significant downward revisions of estimated reserves or increases in estimated future development expenditure or decommissioning costs. If any such indication of impairment exists, the group makes an estimate of the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. Individual assets are grouped into CGUs for impairment assessment purposes at the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. A CGU’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. If it is probable that the value of the CGU will be primarily recovered through a disposal transaction, the expected disposal proceeds are considered in determining the recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
The business segment plans, which are approved on an annual basis by senior management, are the primary source of information for the determination of value in use. They contain forecasts for oil and natural gas production, refinery throughputs, sales volumes for various types of refined products (e.g. gasoline and lubricants), revenues, costs and capital expenditure. Carbon taxes and costs of emissions allowances are included in estimates of future cash flows, where applicable, based on the regulatory environment in each jurisdiction in which the group operates. As an initial step in the preparation of these plans, various assumptions regarding market conditions, such as oil prices, natural gas prices, refining margins, refined product margins and cost inflation rates are set by senior management. These assumptions take account of existing prices, global supply-demand equilibrium for oil and natural gas, other macroeconomic factors and historical trends and variability. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are adjusted for the risks specific to the asset group that are not reflected in the discount rate and are discounted to their present value typically using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money.
Fair value less costs of disposal is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants and does not reflect the effects of factors that may be specific to the group and not applicable to entities in general. In limited circumstances where recent market transactions are not available for reference, discounted cash flow techniques are applied. Where discounted cash flow analyses are used to calculate fair value less costs of disposal, estimates are made about the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset, CGU or group of CGUs containing goodwill and the test is performed on a post-tax basis.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lower of its recoverable amount and the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Impairment reversals are recognized in profit or loss. After a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the recoverable amount of the group of CGUs to which the goodwill relates should be assessed. In assessing whether goodwill has been impaired, the carrying amount of the group of CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated is compared with its recoverable amount. Where the recoverable amount of the group of CGUs is less than the carrying amount (including goodwill), an impairment loss is recognized. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

Significant judgements and estimates: recoverability of asset carrying values
Determination as to whether, and by how much, an asset, CGU, or group of CGUs containing goodwill is impaired involves management estimates on highly uncertain matters such as the effects of inflation and deflation on operating expenses, discount rates, capital expenditure, production profiles, reserves and resources, and future commodity prices, including the outlook for global or regional market supply-and-demand conditions for crude oil, natural gas and refined products. Judgement is required when determining the appropriate grouping of assets into a CGU or the appropriate grouping of CGUs for impairment testing purposes. For example, individual oil and gas properties may form separate CGUs whilst certain oil and gas properties with shared infrastructure may be grouped together to form a single CGU. Alternative groupings of assets or CGUs may result in a different outcome from impairment testing. See Note 14 for details on how these groupings have been determined in relation to the impairment testing of goodwill.
As described above, the recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. Fair value less costs of disposal may be determined based on expected sales proceeds or similar recent market transaction data.
Details of impairment charges and reversals recognized in the income statement are provided in Note 4 and details on the carrying amounts of assets are shown in Note 12, Note 14 and Note 15.
The estimates for assumptions made in impairment tests in 2020 relating to discount rates and oil and gas properties are discussed below. Changes in the economic environment or other facts and circumstances may necessitate revisions to these assumptions and could result in a material change to the carrying values of the group's assets within the next financial year.
Discount rates
For discounted cash flow calculations, future cash flows are adjusted for risks specific to the CGU. Value-in-use calculations are typically discounted using a pre-tax discount rate based upon the cost of funding the group derived from an established model, adjusted to a pre-tax basis and incorporating a market participant capital structure and country risk premiums. Fair value less costs of disposal discounted cash flow calculations use the post-tax discount rate.
The discount rates applied in impairment tests are reassessed each year and in 2020, the post-tax discount rate was 6% (2019 6%). Where the CGU is located in a country that was judged to be higher risk an additional premium of 1% to 3% was reflected in the post-tax discount rate (2019 1% to 4%). The judgement of classifying a country as higher risk and the applicable premium takes into account various economic and geopolitical factors. The pre-tax discount rate typically ranged from 7% to 15% (2019 7% to 13%) depending on the risk premium and applicable tax rate in the geographic location of the CGU.
Oil and natural gas properties
For Upstream oil and natural gas properties, expected future cash flows are estimated using management’s best estimate of future oil and natural gas prices, and production and reserves volumes. The estimated future level of production in all impairment tests is based on assumptions about future commodity prices, production and development costs, field decline rates, current fiscal regimes and other factors.
In 2020, the group identified Upstream oil and gas properties with carrying amounts totalling $45,027 million (2019 $25,092 million) where the headroom, based on the most recent impairment test performed in the year on those assets, was less than or equal to 20% of the carrying value. A change in the discount rate, reserves, resources or the oil and gas price assumptions in the next financial year may result in a recoverable amount of one or more of these assets above or below the current carrying amount and therefore there is a risk of impairment reversals or charges in that period. Management considers that reasonably possible changes in the discount rate or forecast revenue, arising from a change in oil and natural gas prices and/or production could result in a material change in their carrying amounts within the next financial year,see Sensitivity analyses, below.
The recoverability of intangible exploration and appraisal expenditure is covered under Oil and natural gas exploration, appraisal and development expenditure above.
Oil and natural gas prices
The price assumptions used for value in use impairment testing are based on those used for investment appraisal. The investment appraisal price assumptions are recommended by the senior vice president economic & energy insights after considering a range of external prices, and supply and demand forecasts under various energy transition scenarios. They are reviewed and approved by management. As a result of the current uncertainty over the pace of transition to lower-carbon supply and demand and the social, political and environmental actions that will be taken to meet the goals of the Paris climate change agreement, the forecasts and scenarios considered include those where those goals are met as well as those where they are not met.
bp sees the prospect of an enduring impact on the global economy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the potential for weaker demand for energy for a sustained period. bp’s management also expects that the aftermath of the pandemic will accelerate the pace of transition to a lower carbon economy and energy system as countries seek to ‘build back better’ so that their economies will be more resilient in the future. As a result of all the above, bp revised its price assumptions for value-in-use impairment testing, lowering them compared to those used in 2019 and extending the period covered to 2050. These price assumptions are derived from the central case investment appraisal assumptions (see page 28). A summary of the group’s revised price assumptions, in real 2020 terms, is provided below. The assumptions represent management’s best estimate of future prices, which sit within the range of external forecasts considered as appropriate for the purpose. They are considered by bp to be broadly in line with a range of transition paths consistent with the Paris climate goals. However, they do not correspond to any specific Paris-consistent scenario. An inflation rate of 2% (2019 2%) is applied to determine the price assumptions in nominal terms.

Material impairment charges were recognized in 2020 following the downward revision of the price assumptions. See Note 4 for further information.
The long-term price assumptions used to determine recoverable amount based on value-in-use impairments tests in 2019 were $70 per barrel for Brent and $4 per mmBtu for Henry Hub gas, both in 2015 prices. These long-term prices were applied from 2025 and 2032 respectively inflated for the remaining life of the asset.
The price assumptions used in 2019 over the periods to 2025 and 2032 were set such that there was a linear progression from our best estimate of 2020 prices to the long-term assumptions.
The majority of bp’s reserves and resources that support the carrying value of the group’s existing oil and gas properties are expected to be produced over the next 10 years.
Oil prices fell 35% in 2020 from 2019 due to trade tensions, a macroeconomic downturn and a slowdown in oil demand, reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. OPEC+ production restraint, unplanned outages, and sanctions on Venezuela and Iran kept prices from falling further. bp's long-term assumption for oil prices is higher than the 2020 price average, based on the judgement that current price levels would not encourage sufficient investment to meet global oil demand sustainably in the longer term, especially given the financial requirements of key low-cost oil producing economies.
US gas prices dropped by around 20% in 2020 compared to 2019. Henry Hub gas prices were already low in early 2020 due to mild weather. The drop in demand from the second quarter onward as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as significant US LNG shut-ins contributed to prices remaining below $2/mmBtu during the second and third quarters, despite a record consumption in the power sector and the drop in natural gas production. Prices recovered in the fourth quarter due to the seasonal gas demand increase and the strong recovery in US LNG exports. bp's long-term price assumption for US gas reflects the fact that over the coming decades US gas production increases with an increasing proportion of production being used as feedstock to supply expanding LNG exports, while in the longer-term falling gas consumption and declining demand for global LNG exports leads to increasing competitive pressure on US gas production.
Oil and natural gas reserves
In addition to oil and natural gas prices, significant technical and commercial assessments are required to determine the group’s estimated oil and natural gas reserves. Reserves estimates are regularly reviewed and updated. Factors such as the availability of geological and engineering data, reservoir performance data, acquisition and divestment activity and drilling of new wells all impact on the determination of the group’s estimates of its oil and natural gas reserves. bp bases its reserves estimates on the requirement of reasonable certainty with rigorous technical and commercial assessments based on conventional industry practice and regulatory requirements.
Reserves assumptions for value-in-use tests reflect the reserves and resources that management currently intend to develop. The recoverable amount of oil and gas properties is determined using a combination of inputs including reserves, resources and production volumes. Risk factors may be applied to reserves and resources which do not meet the criteria to be treated as proved or probable.
Sensitivity analyses
A change in revenue from Upstream oil and gas properties can arise either due to changes in oil and natural gas prices, changes in oil and natural gas production, or a combination of the two.
Management tested the impact of a change in revenue cash flows in value-in-use impairment testing arising from changes in price assumptions and/or production volumes up to a combined effect on revenue of 10% in all future years.
Revenue reductions of this magnitude in isolation could indicatively lead to a reduction in the carrying amount of bp’s Upstream oil and gas properties in the range of $6-7 billion, which is approximately 5-6% of the net book value of property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2020.
Revenue increases of this magnitude in isolation could indicatively lead to an increase in the carrying amount of bp’s Upstream oil and gas properties in the range of $4-5 billion, which is approximately 3-4% of the net book value of property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2020. This potential increase in the carrying amount would arise due to reversals of previously recognized impairments.
These sensitivity analyses do not, however, represent management’s best estimate of any impairment charges or reversals that might be recognized as they do not fully incorporate consequential changes that may arise, such as changes in costs and business plans and phasing of development. For example, costs across the industry are more likely to decrease as oil and natural gas prices fall. The above sensitivity analyses therefore do not reflect a linear relationship between revenue and value that can be extrapolated. The interdependency of these inputs and risk factors plus the diverse characteristics of our Upstream oil and gas properties limits the practicability of estimating the probability or extent to which the overall recoverable amount is impacted by changes to the price assumptions or production volumes.
Management also tested the impact of a one percentage point change in the discount rate used for value-in-use impairment testing of Upstream oil and gas properties. If the discount rate was one percentage point higher across all tests performed, the impairment charge recognized in 2020 would have been approximately $2.4 billion higher. If the discount rate was one percentage point lower, the impairment charge recognized would have been approximately $2.7 billion lower.
Goodwill
Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, bp is required to test annually for impairment of goodwill acquired in business combinations. The group carries goodwill of approximately $12.5 billion on its balance sheet (2019 $11.9 billion), principally relating to the Atlantic Richfield, Burmah Castrol, Devon Energy and Reliance transactions. Sensitivities and additional information relating to impairment testing of goodwill in the Upstream segment are provided in Note 14.
Inventories
Inventories, other than inventories held for short-term trading purposes, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in first-out method and comprises direct purchase costs, cost of production, transportation and manufacturing expenses. Net realizable value is determined by reference to prices existing at the balance sheet date, adjusted where the sale of inventories after the reporting period gives evidence about their net realizable value at the end of the period.
Inventories held for short-term trading purposes are stated at fair value less costs to sell and any changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement.
Supplies are valued at the lower of cost on a weighted average basis and net realizable value.

Leases
Agreements that convey the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration are accounted for as leases. The right to control is conveyed if bp has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from, and the right to direct the use of, the identified asset throughout the period of use. An asset is identified if it is explicitly or implicitly specified by the agreement and any substitution rights held by the lessor over the asset are not considered substantive.
Agreements that convey the right to control the use of an intangible asset including rights to explore for or use hydrocarbons are not accounted for as leases. See significant accounting policy: intangible assets.
A lease liability is recognized on the balance sheet on the lease commencement date at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate applied is the rate implicit in the lease if readily determinable, otherwise an incremental borrowing rate is used. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on factors such as the group’s cost of borrowing, lessee legal entity credit risk, currency and lease term. The lease term is the non-cancellable period of a lease together with any periods covered by an extension option that bp is reasonably certain to exercise, or periods covered by a termination option that bp is reasonably certain not to exercise. The future lease payments included in the present value calculation are any fixed payments, payments that vary depending on an index or rate, payments due for the reasonably certain exercise of options and expected residual value guarantee payments. Repayments of principal are presented as financing cash flows and payments of interest are presented as operating cash flows.
Payments that vary based on factors other than an index or a rate such as usage, sales volumes or revenues are not included in the present value calculation and are recognized in the income statement and presented as operating cash flows. The lease liability is recognized on an amortized cost basis with interest expense recognized in the income statement over the lease term, except for where capitalized as exploration, appraisal or development expenditure.
The right-of-use asset is recognized on the balance sheet as property, plant and equipment at a value equivalent to the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives, initial direct costs and any restoration obligations. The right-of-use asset is depreciated typically on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The depreciation charge is recognized in the income statement except for where capitalized as exploration, appraisal or development expenditure. Right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment in line with the accounting policy for impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill.
Agreements may include both lease and non-lease components. Payments for lease and non-lease components are allocated on a relative stand-alone selling price basis except for leases of retail service stations where the group has elected not to separate non-lease payments from the calculation of the lease liability and right-of-use asset.
If the lease term at commencement of the agreement is less than 12 months, a lease liability and right-of-use asset are not recognized, and a lease expense is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis.
If a significant event or change in circumstances, within the control of bp, arises that affects the reasonably certain lease term or there are changes to the lease payments, the present value of the lease liability is remeasured using the revised term and payments, with the right-of-use asset adjusted by an equivalent amount.
Modifications to a lease agreement beyond the original terms and conditions are accounted for as a re-measurement of the lease liability with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Any gain or loss on modification is recognized in the income statement. Modifications that increase the scope of the lease at a price commensurate with the stand-alone selling price are accounted for as a separate new lease.
The group recognizes the full lease liability, rather than its working interest share, for leases entered into on behalf of a joint operation if the group has the primary responsibility for making the lease payments. This may be the case if for example bp, as operator of the joint operation, is the sole signatory to the lease. In such cases, bp’s working interest share of the right-of-use asset is recognized if it is jointly controlled by the group and the other joint operators, and a receivable is recognized for the share of the asset transferred to the other joint operators. If bp is a non-operator, a payable to the operator is recognized if they have the primary responsibility for making the lease payments and bp has joint control over the right-of-use asset, otherwise no balances are recognized.
Financial assets
Financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, normally being the transaction price. In the case of financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs are also included. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification, as set out below. The group derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash flows expire or the rights to receive cash flows have been transferred to a third party and either substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset have been transferred, or substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset have neither been retained nor transferred but control of the asset has been transferred. This includes the derecognition of receivables for which discounting arrangements are entered into.
The group classifies its financial asset debt instruments as measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Financial assets are classified as measured at amortized cost when they are held in a business model the objective of which is to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method if the time value of money is significant. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the assets are derecognized or impaired and when interest is recognized using the effective interest method. This category of financial assets includes trade and other receivables.
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets are classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when they are held in a business model the objective of which is both to collect contractual cash flows and sell the financial assets, and the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss when the asset does not meet the criteria to be measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. Such assets are carried on the balance sheet at fair value with gains or losses recognized in the income statement. Derivatives, other than those designated as effective hedging instruments, are included in this category.

1. Significant accounting policies, judgements, estimates and assumptions – continued
Investments in equity instruments
Investments in equity instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss unless an election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis to recognise fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income.
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. The treatment of gains and losses arising from revaluation is described below in the accounting policy for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.
Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and generally have a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Cash equivalents are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost or, in the case of certain money market funds, fair value through profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost
The group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with financial assets classified as measured at amortized cost at each balance sheet date. Expected credit losses are measured based on the maximum contractual period over which the group is exposed to credit risk. As lifetime expected credit losses are recognized for trade receivables and the tenor of substantially all other in-scope financial assets is less than 12 months there is no significant difference between the measurement of 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses for the group. The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default. The expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows the group expects to receive discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is adjusted, with the amount of the impairment gain or loss recognized in the income statement.
A financial asset or group of financial assets classified as measured at amortized cost is considered to be credit-impaired if there is reasonable and supportable evidence that one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset (or group of financial assets) have occurred. Financial assets are written off where the group has no reasonable expectation of recovering amounts due.
Equity instruments
Instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements. Instruments that cannot be settled in the group’s own equity instruments and that include no contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity that are potentially unfavourable are classified as equity. Equity instruments issued by the group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognized when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The group derecognizes financial liabilities when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as follows:
Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities that meet the definition of held for trading are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities are carried on the balance sheet at fair value with gains or losses recognized in the income statement. Derivatives, other than those designated as effective hedging instruments, are included in this category.
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. The treatment of gains and losses arising from revaluation is described below in the accounting policy for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost
All other financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs. For interest-bearing loans and borrowings this is typically equivalent to the fair value of the proceeds received, net of issue costs associated with the borrowing.
After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs and any discount or premium on settlement. Gains and losses arising on the repurchase, settlement or cancellation of liabilities are recognized in interest and other income and finance costs respectively.
This category of financial liabilities includes trade and other payables and finance debt.
Significant judgement: supplier financing arrangements
The group’s trade payables include some supplier arrangements that utilize letter of credit facilities. Judgement is required to assesses the payables subject to these arrangements to determine whether they should continue to be classified as trade payables and give rise to operating cash flows or finance debt and financing cash flows. The criteria used in making this assessment include the payment terms for the amount due relative to terms commonly seen in the markets in which bp operates and whether the arrangements significantly change the nature of the liability. Liabilities subject to these arrangements with payment terms of up to approximately 60 days are generally considered to be trade payables and give rise to operating cash flows. See Note 29 - Liquidity risk for further information.
Financial guarantees
The group issues financial guarantee contracts to make specified payments to reimburse holders for losses incurred because certain associates, joint ventures or third-party entities fail to make payments when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument such as a loan. The liability for a financial guarantee contract is initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at the higher of the contract’s estimated expected credit loss and the amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, cumulative amortization.  
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
The group uses derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices, as well as for trading purposes. These derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Contracts to buy or sell a non-financial item (for example, oil, oil products, gas or power) that can be settled net in cash, with the exception of contracts that were entered into and continue to be held for the purpose of the receipt or delivery of a non-financial item in accordance with the group’s expected purchase, sale or usage requirements, are accounted for as financial instruments. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as effective hedging instruments are recognized in the income statement.
If, at inception of a contract, the valuation cannot be supported by observable market data, any gain or loss determined by the valuation methodology is not recognized in the income statement but is deferred on the balance sheet and is commonly known as a ‘day-one gain or loss’. This deferred gain or loss is recognized in the income statement over the life of the contract until substantially all the remaining contract term can be valued using observable market data at which point any remaining deferred gain or loss is recognized in the income statement. Changes in valuation subsequent to the initial valuation at inception of a contract are recognized immediately in the income statement.
For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:
Fair value hedges when hedging exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability.
Cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to either a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.
Hedge relationships are formally designated and documented at inception, together with the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, the existence at inception of an economic relationship and subsequent measurement of the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the hedge ratio and sources of hedge ineffectiveness. Hedges meeting the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:
Fair value hedges
The change in fair value of a hedging derivative is recognized in profit or loss. The change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged is recorded as part of the carrying value of the hedged item and is also recognized in profit or loss, where it offsets. The group applies fair value hedge accounting when hedging interest rate risk and certain currency risks on fixed rate finance debt.
Fair value hedge accounting is discontinued only when the hedging relationship or a part thereof ceases to meet the qualifying criteria. This includes when the risk management objective changes or when the hedging instrument is sold, terminated or exercised. The accumulated adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item at such time is then amortized prospectively to profit or loss as finance interest expense over the hedged item's remaining period to maturity.
Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of the gain or loss on a cash flow hedging instrument is reported in other comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion is recognized in profit or loss. Amounts reported in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss.
Where the hedged item is a highly probably forecast transaction that results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, such as a forecast foreign currency transaction for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, the amounts recognized within other comprehensive income are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability. Where the hedged item is an equity investment, the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income remain in the separate component of equity until the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss. Where the hedged item is recognized directly in profit or loss, the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to production and manufacturing expenses or sales and other operating revenues as appropriate.
Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued only when the hedging relationship or a part thereof ceases to meet the qualifying criteria. This includes when the designated hedged forecast transaction or part thereof is no longer considered to be highly probable to occur, or when the hedging instrument is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover. When cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued amounts previously recognized within other comprehensive income remain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs and are reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to the initial carrying amount of a non-financial asset or liability as above. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognized within other comprehensive income will be immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
Costs of hedging
The foreign currency basis spread of cross-currency interest rate swaps are excluded from hedge designations and accounted for as costs of hedging. Changes in fair value of the foreign currency basis spread are recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that they relate to the hedged item. For time-period related hedged items, the amount recognized in other comprehensive income is amortized to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the hedging relationship.
Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The group categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three levels depending on the ability to observe inputs employed in their measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included within level 1 for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting significant modifications to observable related market data or bp’s assumptions about pricing by market participants.

Financial statements
1. Significant accounting policies, judgements, estimates and assumptions – continued
Significant estimate and judgement: derivative financial instruments
In some cases the fair values of derivatives are estimated using internal models due to the absence of quoted prices or other observable, market-corroborated data. This primarily applies to the group’s longer-term derivative contracts. The majority of these contracts are valued using models with inputs that include price curves for each of the different products that are built up from available active market pricing data (including volatility and correlation) and modelled using the maximum available external information. Additionally, where limited data exists for certain products, prices are determined using historical and long-term pricing relationships. The use of alternative assumptions or valuation methodologies may result in significantly different values for these derivatives. A reasonably possible change in the price assumptions used in the models relating to index price would not have a material impact on net assets and the Group income statement primarily as a result of offsetting movements between derivative assets and liabilities. For more information, including the carrying amounts of level 3 derivatives, see Note 30.
In some cases, judgement is required to determine whether contracts to buy or sell commodities meet the definition of a derivative or to determine appropriate presentation and classification of transactions in certain cases. In particular contracts to buy and sell LNG are not considered to meet the definition as they are not considered capable of being net settled due to a lack of liquidity in the LNG market and the inability or lack of history of net settlement and so are accounted for on an accruals basis, rather than as a derivative.
Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are presented gross in the balance sheet unless both of the following criteria are met: the group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and the group intends to either settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. A right of set off is the group’s legal right to settle an amount payable to a creditor by applying against it an amount receivable from the same counterparty. The relevant legal jurisdiction and laws applicable to the relationships between the parties are considered when assessing whether a current legally enforceable right to set off exists.
Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognized when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where appropriate, the future cash flow estimates are adjusted to reflect risks specific to the liability.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax risk-free rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized within finance costs. Provisions are discounted using a nominal discount rate of 2.5% (2019 2.5%).
Provisions are split between amounts expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance sheet date (current) and amounts expected to be settled later (non-current).
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by future events not wholly within the control of the group, or present obligations where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is considered remote.
Decommissioning
Liabilities for decommissioning costs are recognized when the group has an obligation to plug and abandon a well, dismantle and remove a facility or an item of plant and to restore the site on which it is located, and when a reliable estimate of that liability can be made. Where an obligation exists for a new facility or item of plant, such as oil and natural gas production or transportation facilities, this liability will be recognized on construction or installation. Similarly, where an obligation exists for a well, this liability is recognized when it is drilled. An obligation for decommissioning may also crystallize during the period of operation of a well, facility or item of plant through a change in legislation or through a decision to terminate operations; an obligation may also arise in cases where an asset has been sold but the subsequent owner is no longer able to fulfil its decommissioning obligations, for example due to bankruptcy. The amount recognized is the present value of the estimated future expenditure determined in accordance with local conditions and requirements. The provision for the costs of decommissioning wells, production facilities and pipelines at the end of their economic lives is estimated using existing technology, at future prices, depending on the expected timing of the activity, and discounted using the nominal discount rate.
An amount equivalent to the decommissioning provision is recognized as part of the corresponding intangible asset (in the case of an exploration or appraisal well) or property, plant and equipment. The decommissioning portion of the property, plant and equipment is subsequently depreciated at the same rate as the rest of the asset. Other than the unwinding of discount on or utilisation of the provision, any change in the present value of the estimated expenditure is reflected as an adjustment to the provision and the corresponding asset where that asset is generating or is expected to generate future economic benefits.
Environmental expenditures and liabilities
Environmental expenditures that are required in order for the group to obtain future economic benefits from its assets are capitalized as part of those assets. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations that do not contribute to future earnings are expensed.
Liabilities for environmental costs are recognized when a clean-up is probable and the associated costs can be reliably estimated. Generally, the timing of recognition of these provisions coincides with the commitment to a formal plan of action or, if earlier, on divestment or on closure of inactive sites.
The amount recognized is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. Provisions for environmental liabilities have been estimated using existing technology, at future prices and discounted using a nominal discount rate.
Emissions
Liabilities for emissions are recognized when the cumulative volumes of gases emitted by the group at the end of the reporting period exceed the allowances granted free of charge held for own use or a set baseline for emissions. The provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. It is based on the excess of actual emissions over the free allowances held or set baseline in tonnes (or other appropriate quantity) and is valued at the actual cost of any allowances that have been purchased and held for own use on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis, and, if insufficient allowances are held, for the remaining requirement on the basis of the spot market price of allowances at the balance sheet date. The cost of allowances purchased to cover a shortfall is recognized separately on the balance sheet as an intangible asset unless the emission allowances acquired or generated by the group are risk-managed by the integrated supply and trading function, then they are recognized on the balance sheet as inventory.

Restructuring provisions
The reinvent bp programme, expected to reduce headcount by around 10,000 positions, has resulted in recognition of provisions where a detailed formal plan exists, and a valid expectation of risk of redundancy has been made to those affected but where the specific outcomes remain uncertain . Where formal redundancy offers have been made, the obligations for those amounts are reported as payables and, if not, as provisions if unpaid at the year-end.
Significant judgements and estimates: provisions
The group holds provisions for the future decommissioning of oil and natural gas production facilities and pipelines at the end of their economic lives. The largest decommissioning obligations facing bp relate to the plugging and abandonment of wells and the removal and disposal of oil and natural gas platforms and pipelines around the world. Most of these decommissioning events are many years in the future and the precise requirements that will have to be met when the removal event occurs are uncertain. Decommissioning technologies and costs are constantly changing, as are political, environmental, safety and public expectations. The timing and amounts of future cash flows are subject to significant uncertainty and estimation is required in determining the amounts of provisions to be recognized. Any changes in the expected future costs are reflected in both the provision and the asset.
If oil and natural gas production facilities and pipelines are sold to third parties, judgement is required to assess whether the new owner will be unable to meet their decommissioning obligations, whether bp would then be responsible for decommissioning, and if so the extent of that responsibility. The group has assessed that no material decommissioning provisions should be recognized as at 31 December 2020 (2019 no material provisions) for assets sold to third parties where the sale transferred the decommissioning obligation to the new owner.
Decommissioning provisions associated with downstream refineries are generally not recognized, as the potential obligations cannot be measured, given their indeterminate settlement dates.Obligations may arise if refineries cease manufacturing operations and any such obligations would be recognized in the period when sufficient information becomes available to determine potential settlement dates.
The group performs periodic reviews of its downstream refineries for any changes in facts and circumstances including those relating to the energy transition, that might require the recognition of a decommissioning provision.
The provision for environmental liabilities is estimated based on current legal and constructive requirements, technology, price levels and expected plans for remediation. Actual costs and cash outflows can differ from current estimates because of changes in laws and regulations, public expectations, prices, discovery and analysis of site conditions and changes in clean-up technology.
The timing and amount of future expenditures relating to decommissioning and environmental liabilities are reviewed annually. The interest rate used in discounting the cash flows is reviewed quarterly. The nominal interest rate used to determine the balance sheet obligations at the end of 2020 was 2.5% (2019 2.5%), which was based on long-dated US government bonds. The weighted average period over which decommissioning and environmental costs are generally expected to be incurred is estimated to be approximately 18 years (2019 18 years) and 6 years (2019 6 years) respectively. Costs at future prices are determined by applying an inflation rate of 1.5% (2019 1.5%) to decommissioning costs and 2% (2019 2%) for all other provisions. A lower rate is applied to decommissioning as certain costs are expected to remain fixed at current or past prices.
Further information about the group’s provisions is provided in Note 23. Changes in assumptions in relation to the group's provisions could result in a material change in their carrying amounts within the next financial year. A 0.5 percentage point decrease in the nominal discount rate applied could increase the group’s provision balances by approximately $1.3 billion (2019 $1.4 billion). The pre-tax impact on the group income statement would be a charge of approximately $0.5 billion.
The discounting impact on the group's Upstream decommissioning provisions of a two-year change in the timing of expected future decommissioning expenditures would not be material. Management currently does not consider a change of greater than two years to be reasonably possible in the next financial year.
If all expected future decommissioning expenditures were 10% higher, the group's Upstream decommissioning provisions would increase by approximately $1.4 billion and a pre-tax charge of approximately $0.5 billion would be recognized.
As described in Note 33, the group is subject to claims and actions for which no provisions have been recognized. The facts and circumstances relating to particular cases are evaluated regularly in determining whether a provision relating to a specific litigation should be recognized or revised. Accordingly, significant management judgement relating to provisions and contingent liabilities is required, since the outcome of litigation is difficult to predict.
Employee benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses, social security contributions, paid annual leave and sick leave are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the group. Deferred bonus arrangements that have a vesting date more than 12 months after the balance sheet date are valued on an actuarial basis using the projected unit credit method and amortized on a straight-line basis over the service period until the award vests. The accounting policies for share-based payments and for pensions and other post-retirement benefits are described below.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments on the date on which they are granted and is recognized as an expense over the vesting period, which ends on the date on which the employees become fully entitled to the award. A corresponding credit is recognized within equity. Fair value is determined by using an appropriate, widely used, valuation model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the company (market conditions). Non-vesting conditions, such as the condition that employees contribute to a savings-related plan, are taken into account in the grant-date fair value, and failure to meet a non-vesting condition, where this is within the control of the employee is treated as a cancellation and any remaining unrecognized cost is expensed.
For other equity-settled share-based payment transactions, the goods or services received and the corresponding increase in equity are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received unless their fair value cannot be reliably estimated. If the fair value of the goods and services received cannot be reliably estimated, the transaction is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

Cash-settled transactions
The cost of cash-settled transactions is recognized as an expense over the vesting period, measured by reference to the fair value of the corresponding liability which is recognized on the balance sheet. The liability is remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date until settlement, with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement.
Pensions and other post-retirement benefits
The cost of providing benefits under the group’s defined benefit plans is determined separately for each plan using the projected unit credit method, which attributes entitlement to benefits to the current period to determine current service cost and to the current and prior periods to determine the present value of the defined benefit obligation. Past service costs, resulting from either a plan amendment or a curtailment (a reduction in future obligations as a result of a material reduction in the plan membership), are recognized immediately when the company becomes committed to a change.
Net interest expense relating to pensions and other post-retirement benefits, which is recognized in the income statement, represents the net change in present value of plan obligations and the value of plan assets resulting from the passage of time, and is determined by applying the discount rate to the present value of the benefit obligation at the start of the year, and to the fair value of plan assets at the start of the year, taking into account expected changes in the obligation or plan assets during the year.
Remeasurements of the defined benefit liability and asset, comprising actuarial gains and losses, and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest described above) are recognized within other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur and are not subsequently reclassified to profit and loss.
The defined benefit pension plan surplus or deficit recognized on the balance sheet for each plan comprises the difference between the present value of the defined benefit obligation (using a discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds) and the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. Fair value is based on market price information and, in the case of quoted securities, is the published bid price. Defined benefit pension plan surpluses are only recognized to the extent they are recoverable, either by way of a refund from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized in the income statement in the period in which they become payable.
Significant estimate: pensions and other post-retirement benefits
Accounting for defined benefit pensions and other post-retirement benefits involves making significant estimates when measuring the group's pension plan surpluses and deficits. These estimates require assumptions to be made about many uncertainties.
Pensions and other post-retirement benefit assumptions are reviewed by management at the end of each year. These assumptions are used to determine the projected benefit obligation at the year end and hence the surpluses and deficits recorded on the group's balance sheet, and pension and other post-retirement benefit expense for the following year.
The assumptions that are the most significant to the amounts reported are the discount rate, inflation rate, salary growth and mortality levels. Assumptions about these variables are based on the environment in each country. The assumptions used vary from year to year, with resultant effects on future net income and net assets. Changes to some of these assumptions, in particular the discount rate and inflation rate, could result in material changes to the carrying amounts of the group's pension and other post-retirement benefit obligations within the next financial year, in particular for the UK, US and Eurozone plans. Any differences between these assumptions and the actual outcome will also affect future net income and net assets.
The values ascribed to these assumptions and a sensitivity analysis of the impact of changes in the assumptions on the benefit expense and obligation used are provided in Note 24.
Income taxes
Income tax expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax.
Income tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax is based on the taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it is determined in accordance with the rules established by the applicable taxation authorities. It therefore excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods as well as items that are never taxable or deductible. The group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except:
Where the deferred tax liability arises on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Where the deferred tax liability arises on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates and interests in joint arrangements, where the group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates and interests in joint arrangements, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable or increased to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020

1. Significant accounting policies, judgements, estimates and assumptions – continued
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Where tax treatments are uncertain, if it is considered probable that a taxation authority will accept the group's proposed tax treatment, income taxes are recognized consistent with the group's income tax filings. If it is not considered probable, the uncertainty is reflected within the carrying amount of the applicable tax asset or liability using either the most likely amount or an expected value, depending on which method better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.
The computation of the group’s income tax expense and liability involves the interpretation of applicable tax laws and regulations in many jurisdictions throughout the world. The resolution of tax positions taken by the group, through negotiations with relevant tax authorities or through litigation, can take several years to complete and in some cases it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome. Therefore, judgement is required to determine whether provisions for income taxes are required and, if so, estimation is required of the amounts that could be payable.
In addition, the group has carry-forward tax losses and tax credits in certain taxing jurisdictions that are available to offset against future taxable profit. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses or tax credits can be utilized. Management judgement is exercised in assessing whether this is the case and estimates are required to be made of the amount of future taxable profits that will be available.Such judgements are inherently impacted by estimates affecting future taxable profits such as oil and natural gas prices and decommissioning expenditure, see significant judgements and estimates: recoverability of asset carrying values and provisions
Management do not assess there to be a significant risk of a material change to the group’s tax provisioning or recognition of deferred tax assets within the next financial year, however the tax position remains inherently uncertain and therefore subject to change. To the extent that actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, income tax charges or credits, and changes in current and deferred tax assets or liabilities, may arise in future periods. For more information see Note 9 and Note 33.
Judgement is also required when determining whether a particular tax is an income tax or another type of tax (for example a production tax). Accounting for deferred tax is applied to income taxes as described above, but is not applied to other types of taxes; rather such taxes are recognized in the income statement in accordance with the applicable accounting policy such as Provisions and contingencies. No new significant judgements were made in 2020 in this regard.
Customs duties and sales taxes
Customs duties and sales taxes that are passed on or charged to customers are excluded from revenues and expenses. Assets and liabilities are recognized net of the amount of customs duties or sales tax except:
Customs duties or sales taxes incurred on the purchase of goods and services which are not recoverable from the taxation authority are recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of customs duty or sales tax included.
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included within receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
Own equity instruments – treasury shares
The group’s holdings in its own equity instruments are shown as deductions from shareholders’ equity. Treasury shares represent bp shares repurchased and available for specific and limited purposes. For accounting purposes, shares held in Employee Share Ownership Plans (ESOPs) to meet the future requirements of the employee share-based payment plans are treated in the same manner as treasury shares and are, therefore, included in the consolidated financial statements as treasury shares. The cost of treasury shares subsequently sold or reissued is calculated on a weighted-average basis. Consideration, if any, received for the sale of such shares is also recognized in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the income statement on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of equity shares. Shares repurchased under the share buy-back programme which are immediately cancelled are not shown as treasury shares, but are shown as a deduction from the profit and loss account reserve in the group statement of changes in equity.
Revenue and other income
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when or as the group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. The transfer of control of oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, LNG, petroleum and chemical products, and other items usually coincides with title passing to the customer and the customer taking physical possession. The group principally satisfies its performance obligations at a point in time; the amounts of revenue recognized relating to performance obligations satisfied over time are not significant.
When, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied, the group recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the group expects to be entitled. The transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations in the contract based on standalone selling prices of the goods or services promised.
Contracts for the sale of commodities are typically priced by reference to quoted prices. Revenue from term commodity contracts is recognized based on the contractual pricing provisions for each delivery. Certain of these contracts have pricing terms based on prices at a point in time after delivery has been made. Revenue from such contracts is initially recognized based on relevant prices at the time of delivery and subsequently adjusted as appropriate. All revenue from these contracts, both that recognized at the time of delivery and that from post-delivery price adjustments, is disclosed as revenue from contracts with customers.
Certain forward contracts entered into by the group that result in physical delivery of products such as crude oil, natural gas and refined products are required to be accounted for as derivative financial instruments. Revenue recognized relating to such contracts when physical delivery occurs is measured at the contractual transaction price plus the carrying amount of the related derivative at the date of settlement and presented as other operating revenues. Changes in the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities prior to physical delivery are also classified as other operating revenues. See also Other significant accounting policy changes - IFRIC agenda decision on IFRS 9 'Financial instruments' below.

bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020

Financial statements
1. Significant accounting policies, judgements, estimates and assumptions – continued
Where forward sale and purchase contracts for oil, natural gas or power have been determined to be for short-term trading purposes, the associated sales and purchases are reported net within sales and other operating revenues whether or not physical delivery has occurred.
Physical exchanges with counterparties in the same line of business in order to facilitate sales to customers are reported net, as are sales and purchases made with a common counterparty, as part of an arrangement similar to a physical exchange.
Where the group acts as agent on behalf of a third party to procure or market energy commodities, any associated fee income is recognized but no purchase or sale is recorded.
Interest income is recognized as the interest accrues (using the effective interest rate, that is, the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset).
Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholders’ right to receive the payment is established.
Contract asset and contract liability balances are included within amounts presented for trade receivables and other payables respectively.
Finance costs
Finance costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. All other finance costs are recognized in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
Updates to significant accounting policies
Impact of new International Financial Reporting Standards
bp adopted ‘Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase I – Amendments to IFRS 9 ‘Financial instruments’ and IFRS 7 ‘Financial instruments: Disclosures’’ with effect from 1 January 2020. There are no other new or amended standards or interpretations adopted during the year that have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
'Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase I’
Financial authorities in the US, UK, EU and other territories are currently undertaking reviews of key interest rate benchmarks such as the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with a view to replacing them with alternative benchmarks. Uncertainty around the method and timing of transition from Inter-bank Offered Rates (IBORs) to alternative risk-free rates (RfRs) may impact the assessment of whether hedge accounting can be applied to certain hedging relationships.
This first phase of amendments to IFRS 9 provide temporary relief from applying specific hedge accounting requirements to hedging relationships directly affected by interest rate benchmark reforms.
In accordance with the transition provisions, the amendments have been adopted retrospectively to hedging relationships that existed at the start of the current reporting period and have been applied to new hedging relationships designated after that date.
The reliefs have meant that the uncertainty over the interest rate benchmark reforms has not resulted in discontinuation of hedge accounting for any of bp’s fair value hedges.
See Note 29 Financial instruments and financial risk factors - interest rate risk and Note 30 Derivative financial instruments - Fair value hedges for further information.
Impact of new International Financial Reporting Standards - Not yet adopted
The following pronouncements from the IASB have not been adopted by the group in these financial statements as they will only become effective for future financial reporting periods. There are no other standards, amendments or interpretations in issue but not yet adopted that the directors anticipate will have a material effect on the reported income or net assets of the group.
IFRS 17 ' Insurance Contracts'
IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts' provides a new general model for accounting for contracts where the issuer accepts significant insurance risk from another party and agrees to compensate that party if a future uncertain event adversely affects them. IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4 'Insurance Contracts' and will be effective for bp for the financial reporting period commencing 1 January 2023. The standard has not yet been endorsed by the UK and the EU. bp's assessment of the impact of IFRS 17 is at an initial stage but it is not expected to have a significant effect on future financial reporting.
‘Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase II’
Amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ were issued by the IASB in August 2020 to provide practical expedients and reliefs in relation to modifications of financial instruments and leases that arise from transition from IBORs to RFRs. Phase II also provides further reliefs to hedge accounting requirements. These amendments were effective for bp from 1 January 2021. The amendments have been endorsed by the UK and by the EU.
bp’s working group on interest rate benchmark reform is monitoring and managing the transition to alternative benchmark rates and is currently assessing the impact on contracts and arrangements that are linked to existing interest rate benchmarks for example, borrowings, leases and derivative contracts. bp is also participating on external committees and task forces dedicated to interest rate benchmark reform.
Other changes to significant accounting policies
Physically settled derivative contracts
In March 2019, IFRIC issued an agenda decision on the application of IFRS 9 to the physical settlement of contracts to buy or sell a non-financial item, such as commodities, that are not accounted for as 'own-use' contracts. IFRIC concluded that such contracts are settled by the delivery or receipt of a non-financial item in exchange for both cash and the settlement of the derivative asset or liability.
bp routinely enters into transactions for the sale and purchase of commodities that are physically settled and meet the definition of a derivative financial instrument. As described in the group's accounting policy for revenue in bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2019, revenue recognized at the time such contracts were physically settled was measured at the contractual transaction price and was presented together with revenue from contracts with customers in those financial statements.

bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020
175


1. Significant accounting policies, judgements, estimates and assumptions – continued
bp changed its accounting policy for these contracts, in accordance with the conclusions included in the agenda decision, with effect from 1 April 2020, as follows:
Revenues and purchases from such contracts are measured at the contractual transaction price plus the carrying amount of the related derivative at the date of settlement. Realized derivative gains and losses on physically settled derivative contracts are included in other revenues.
There is no significant effect on current period or comparative information for ‘Sales and other operating revenues’ and ‘Purchases’ as presented in the group income statement, therefore no comparative information has been re-stated.
There is no significant effect on net assets or on comparative information for ‘Profit before taxation’ or ‘Profit after taxation’ as presented in the group income statement.
In addition, bp chose to change its presentation of revenues from physically settled derivative sales contracts from 1 January 2020. Revenues from physically settled derivative sales contracts are no longer presented together with revenue from contracts with customers. In these financial statements they are now presented as other revenues. Comparative information in Note 6 for revenue from contracts with customers and other revenues have been re-presented to align with the current period as set out below.

Voluntary changes to significant accounting policies - not yet adopted
Net presentation of revenues and purchases relating to physically settled derivative contracts from 1 January 2021
As described above, bp routinely enters into transactions for the sale and purchase of commodities that are physically settled and meet the definition of a derivative financial instrument. These contracts are within the scope of IFRS 9 and as such, prior to settlement, changes in the fair value of these derivative contracts are presented as gains and losses within other operating revenues. The group currently presents revenues and purchases for such contracts on a gross basis in the group income statement upon physical settlement. These transactions have historically represented a substantial portion of the revenues and purchases reported in the group’s consolidated financial statements.
The change in strategic direction of the group supported by organisational changes to implement the strategy from 1 January 2021, results in the group determining that the revenue and corresponding purchases relating to such transactions should be presented net as gains or losses within other operating revenues. Additionally the group’s trading activity has continued to evolve over time from one of capturing third party physical trades to provide flow assurance to one with increasing levels of optimisation, taking advantage of price volatility and fluctuations in demand and supply, which will continue under the new strategy, further supporting the change in presentation. The new presentation provides reliable and more relevant information for users of the accounts as the group’s revenue recognition will be more closely aligned with its assessment of ‘Scope 3’ emissions from its products, its ‘Net Zero’ ambition and how management monitors and manages performance of such contracts. Comparative information for Sales and other operating revenues and purchases for 2019 and 2020 will be restated and will be presented under the new policy alongside group’s 2021 financial information.
Change in segmentation
During the first quarter of 2021, the group's reportable segments changed consistent with a change in the way that resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the chief operating decision maker, who for bp is the group chief executive, from that date. From the first quarter of 2021, the group's reportable are gas & low carbon energy, oil production & operations, customers & products, and Rosneft. At 31 December 2020, the group's reportable segments were Upstream, Downstream and Rosneft.
Gas & low carbon energy comprises regions with upstream businesses that predominantly produce natural gas, gas trading activities and the group's renewables businesses, including biofuels, solar and wind. Gas producing regions were previously in the Upstream segment. The group's renewables businesses were previously part of 'Other businesses and corporate'.
Oil production & operations comprises regions with upstream activities that predominantly produce crude oil. These activities were previously in the Upstream segment.
Customers & products comprises the group's convenience and mobility business, which manages the sale of fuels to wholesale and retail customers, convenience products, aviation fuels, and Castrol lubricants; and refining, supply and trading. The petrochemicals business will also be reported in restated comparative information as part of the customers and products segment up to its sale in December 2020. The customers & products segment is, therefore, substantially unchanged from the former Downstream segment with the exception of the Petrochemicals disposal.
The Rosneft segment is unchanged and continues to include equity-accounted earnings from the group's investment in Rosneft.
The segment measure of profit or loss continues to be replacement cost profit or loss before interest and tax, which reflects the replacement cost of supplies by excluding from profit or loss before interest and tax inventory holding gains and losses. See Note 5 for further information.
In the group's financial reporting for 2021, comparative information for 2019 and 2020 will be restated to reflect the changes in reportable segments. Reporting under the new segment structure will begin with the first quarter 2021 interim financial statements.
Segmental information presented in these financial statements is based on the segment structure as at 31 December 2020.

2. Non-current assets held for sale
The carrying amount of assets classified as held for sale at 31 December 2020 is $1,326 million (2019 $7,465 million), with associated liabilities of $46 million (2019 $1,393 million).
Upstream segment
The balance consists primarily of a 20% participating interest from bp’s 60% participating interest in Block 61 in Oman. As announced on 1 February 2021, bp has agreed to sell this interest to PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited of Thailand for a total consideration of up to $2.6 billion, subject to final adjustments. Under the terms of the agreement, bp will receive $2,450 million on completion, with up to an additional $140 million receivable contingent on pre-agreed future conditions. Subject to approvals, the transaction is expected to complete during 2021. Assets of $1,298 million and associated liabilities of $10 million have been classified as held for sale in the group balance sheet at 31 December 2020.
Transactions that have been classified as held for sale during 2020, but were completed by 31 December 2020, are described below.
Downstream segment
On 29 June 2020 bp announced that it had agreed to sell its global petrochemicals business to INEOS for a total consideration of $5 billion, subject to customary closing adjustments. The assets and liabilities of the business were classified as held for sale from that date until the disposal completed on 31 December 2020. Under the terms of the agreement, INEOS paid bp a deposit of $400 million and a further $3.6 billion on completion less $0.1 billion of third-party indebtedness remaining in petrochemicals on completion. The remaining $1 billion was received in February 2021. The business had interests in manufacturing plants in Asia, Europe and the US, including interests held in equity-accounted entities. See note 4 for further information.
Upstream segment
On 27 August 2019, bp announced that it had agreed to sell its Alaska operations and interests to Hilcorp Energy for up to $5.6 billion, subject to customary closing adjustments. The sale included bp’s upstream and midstream business in the state, including BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc., which owned all of bp’s upstream oil and gas interests in Alaska, and BP Pipelines (Alaska) Inc.’s 49% interest in the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS). These assets and associated liabilities were classified as held for sale in the 31 December 2019 group balance sheet. The disposal of BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. completed on 30 June 2020. The disposal of TAPS completed on 18 December 2020.
bp received $800 million prior to or on completion of the disposals and has recognized a loan note with a principal amount of $2,100 million receivable from Hilcorp. The group has also recognized other assets totalling $1,722 million as at 31 December 2020, principally in relation to the ‘earn-out’ provisions of the agreement. See note 4 for information on impairment charges relating to the Alaska business.
bp retained decommissioning liability relating to the TAPS, which will be partially offset by a 30% cost reimbursement from Hilcorp when incurred.
In November 2019, bp agreed to sell its interests in the San Juan basin in Colorado and New Mexico to IKAV. These assets and associated liabilities were classified as held for sale in the 31 December 2019 group balance sheet. The transaction completed on 28 February 2020.

Impairments
Impairment losses and impairment reversals in each segment are described below. For information on significant estimates and judgements made in relation to impairments see Impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill within Note 1. See also Note 12, and Note 15 for further information on impairments by asset category.
Upstream
Impairment losses and reversals in all years relate primarily to producing and midstream assets.
The 2020 impairment loss of $12,917 million primarily relates to losses incurred in respect of producing and development assets in the UK North Sea ($2,796 million), the US ($2,744 million), Trinidad ($2,416 million), Mauritania and Senegal ($1,909 million), India ($1,313 million) and Canada ($865 million). Impairment losses were primarily driven by a reduction in bp’s future oil and gas price assumptions and, to a lesser extent, certain technical reserves revisions. The recoverable amount of the impaired CGUs in total is $33,415 million.
The principal CGUs on which significant impairment losses were incurred in 2020 were $1,909 million for Tortue in Mauritania and Senegal; $1,313 million for KGD6 in India; $1,181 million for Schiehallion in the UK North Sea; $1,044 million for Mahogany in Trinidad, $960 million for Cassia in Trinidad; $1,011 million for Hawkville in BPX Energy; $747 million for ETAP in the UK North Sea and $742 million for Sunrise in Canada. The recoverable amount for each of these CGUs was their value in use, which in total was $13,200 million. In addition, impairment losses of $939 million were incurred relating to the disposal of bp’s business in Alaska. The recoverable amount of the Alaska business was its fair value less costs of disposal; see note 2 for further information.
The 2019 impairment losses of $6,752 million related to various assets, with the most significant charges arising in the US. Impairment losses arose primarily as a result of the decision to dispose of certain assets, including $4,703 million in relation to completed and expected disposals in BPX Energy and $1,264 million relating to the expected disposal of our Alaskan business; of these amounts $355 million primarily relates to impairment of associated goodwill.
The 2018 impairment losses of $400 million related to a number of different assets, with the most significant charges arising in Australia and the US. Impairment losses arose primarily as a result of changes to project activity, asset obsolescence and the decision to dispose of certain assets. The 2018 impairment reversals of $580 million related to a number of different assets, with the most significant reversals arising in the North Sea and Angola following a change to decommissioning cost estimates.
Downstream
Impairment losses totalling $840 million, $65 million, and $12 million were recognized in 2020, 2019 and 2018 respectively. The amount for 2020 principally relates to portfolio changes in the fuels business, including the conversion of Kwinana refinery to an import terminal. None of the impairment charges were individually material.

4. Disposals and impairment – continued
Other businesses and corporate
Impairment losses totalling $32 million, $30 million, and $254 million were recognized in 2020, 2019 and 2018 respectively. The amount for 2018 is in respect of assets within our US wind business in advance of their disposal in December 2018.

5. Segmental analysis
The group’s organizational structure reflects the various activities in which bp is engaged. At 31 December 2020, bp had three reportable segments: Upstream, Downstream and Rosneft.
Upstream’s activities include oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production; midstream transportation, storage and processing; and the marketing and trading of natural gas, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), together with power and natural gas liquids (NGLs).
Downstream’s activities include the refining, manufacturing, marketing, transportation, and supply and trading of crude oil, petroleum, petrochemicals products and related services to wholesale and retail customers.
bp’s interest in Rosneft is accounted for using the equity method and is reported as a separate operating segment, reflecting the way in which the investment is managed.
Other businesses and corporate comprises the biofuels and wind businesses, the group’s shipping and treasury functions, and corporate activities worldwide.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the group’s accounting policies described in Note 1. However, IFRS requires that the measure of profit or loss disclosed for each operating segment is the measure that is provided regularly to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. For bp, this measure of profit or loss is replacement cost profit or loss before interest and tax which reflects the replacement cost of supplies by excluding from profit or loss before interest and tax inventory holding gains and lossesa. Replacement cost profit or loss before interest and tax for the group is not a recognized measure under IFRS.
Sales between segments are made at prices that approximate market prices, taking into account the volumes involved. Segment revenues and segment results include transactions between business segments. These transactions and any unrealized profits and losses are eliminated on consolidation, unless unrealized losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Sales to external customers by region are based on the location of the group subsidiary which made the sale. The UK region includes the UK-based international activities of Downstream.
All surpluses and deficits recognized on the group balance sheet in respect of pension and other post-retirement benefit plans are allocated to Other businesses and corporate. However, the periodic expense relating to these plans is allocated to the operating segments based upon the business in which the employees work.
Certain financial information is provided separately for the US as this is an individually material country for bp, and for the UK as this is bp’s country of domicile.
In February 2020, bp announced plans for a reorganization of the group’s organizational structure.  The group’s segmental reporting structure as described above remained in place throughout 2020. Changes to this structure, as described in Note 1 - Voluntary changes to significant accounting policies - not yet adopted, came into effect from 1 January 2021.

 

























a    Inventory holding gains and losses represent the difference between the cost of sales calculated using the replacement cost of inventory and the cost of sales calculated on the first-in first-out (FIFO) method after adjusting for any changes in provisions where the net realizable value of the inventory is lower than its cost. Under the FIFO method, which we use for IFRS reporting, the cost of inventory charged to the income statement is based on its historical cost of purchase or manufacture, rather than its replacement cost. In volatile energy markets, this can have a significant distorting effect on reported income. The amounts disclosed represent the difference between the charge to the income statement for inventory on a FIFO basis (after adjusting for any related movements in net realizable value provisions) and the charge that would have arisen based on the replacement cost of inventory. For this purpose, the replacement cost of inventory is calculated using data from each operation’s production and manufacturing system, either on a monthly basis, or separately for each transaction where the system allows this approach. The amounts disclosed are not separately reflected in the financial statements as a gain or loss. No adjustment is made in respect of the cost of inventories held as part of a trading position and certain other temporary inventory positions.

9. Taxation – continued
Of the $7,744 million of deferred tax assets recognised on the group balance sheet at 31 December 2020 (2019 $4,560 million), $7,659 million (2019 $2,421 million) relates to entities that have suffered a loss in either the current or preceding period. This amount is supported by forecasts that indicate sufficient future taxable profits will be available to utilize such assets. For 2020, $3,906 million relates to the US, $707 million relates to India, $637 million relates to Australia and $588 million relates to Trinidad & Tobago (2019 $2,421 million relates to the US).
A summary of temporary differences, unused tax credits and unused tax losses for which deferred tax has not been recognized is shown in the table below.

b    The majority of the unused tax losses have no fixed expiry date.
c    The UK unused tax credits arise predominantly in overseas branches of UK entities based in jurisdictions with higher statutory corporate income tax rates than the UK. No deferred tax asset has been recognized on these tax credits as they are unlikely to have value in the future; UK taxes on these overseas branches are largely mitigated by double tax relief in respect of overseas tax. These tax credits have no fixed expiry date.
d    For 2020 the US unused tax credits expire in the period 2021-2030.
e    The majority comprises fixed asset temporary differences in the UK. Substantially all of the temporary differences have no expiry date.

a One ADS is equivalent to six ordinary shares.
Basic earnings per ordinary share amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to bp ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding includes certain shares that will be issuable in the future under employee share-based payment plans and excludes treasury shares, which includes shares held by the Employee Share Ownership Plan trusts (ESOPs).
For the diluted earnings per share calculation, the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the average number of shares that are potentially issuable in connection with employee share-based payment plans. If the inclusion of potentially issuable shares would decrease loss per share, the potentially issuable shares are excluded from the weighted average number of shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share.

The number of ordinary shares outstanding at 31 December 2020, excluding treasury shares, and including certain shares that will be issuable in the future under employee share-based payment plans was 20,264,027,711. Between 31 December 2020 and 25 February 2021, the latest practicable date before the completion of these financial statements, there was a net increase of 66,249,231 in the number of ordinary shares outstanding primarily as a result of share issues in relation to employee share-based payment plans.
Employee share-based payment plans
The group operates share and share option plans for directors and certain employees to obtain ordinary shares and ADSs in the company. Information on these plans for directors is shown in the Directors remuneration report on pages 103-126.
The following table shows the number of shares potentially issuable under equity-settled employee share option plans, including the number of options outstanding, the number of options exercisable at the end of each year, and the corresponding weighted average exercise prices.

a    Numbers of options shown are ordinary share equivalents (one ADS is equivalent to six ordinary shares).
b    At 31 December 2020 the quoted market price of one bp ordinary share was £2.55 (2019 £4.72).
In addition, the group operates a number of equity-settled employee share plans under which share units are granted to the group’s senior leaders and certain other employees. These plans typically have a three-year performance or restricted period during which the units accrue net notional dividends which are treated as having been reinvested. Leaving employment will normally preclude the conversion of units into shares, but special arrangements apply for participants that leave for qualifying reasons. The number of shares that are expected to vest each year under employee share plans are shown in the table below. The dilutive effect of the employee share plans at 31 December is also shown.

Excess of recoverable amount over carrying amount

The table above shows the carrying amount of goodwill for the segment at the period end and the excess of the recoverable amount, based on a pre-tax value-in-use calculation, over the carrying amount (headroom) at the date of the most recent test. The reduction in headroom since the prior period principally relates to the impact of changes to price assumptions.
No impairment of the Upstream goodwill balance was recognized during 2020 (2019 $386 million).
The value in use is based on the cash flows expected to be generated by the projected oil or natural gas production profiles up to the expected dates of cessation of production of each producing field, based on current estimates of reserves and resources, appropriately risked. Midstream and supply and trading activities and equity-accounted entities are generally not included in the impairment review of goodwill, as they do not represent part of the grouping of cash-generating units to which the goodwill relates and which is used to monitor the goodwill for internal management purposes. Where such activities form part of a wider Upstream cash-generating unit, they are reflected in the test. As the production profile and related cash flows can be estimated from bp’s past experience, management believes that the cash flows generated over the estimated life of field is the appropriate basis upon which to assess goodwill and individual assets for impairment. The estimated date of cessation of production depends on the interaction of a number of variables, such as the recoverable quantities of hydrocarbons, the production profile of the hydrocarbons, the cost of the development of the infrastructure necessary to recover the hydrocarbons, production costs, the contractual duration of the production concession and the selling price of the hydrocarbons produced. As each producing field has specific reservoir characteristics and economic circumstances, the cash flows of each field is computed using appropriate individual economic models and key assumptions agreed by bp management.
Estimated production volumes and cash flows up to the date of cessation of production on a field-by-field basis, including operating and capital expenditure, are derived from the business segment plan. The production profiles used are consistent with the reserve and resource volumes approved as part of bp’s centrally controlled process for the estimation of proved and probable reserves and total resources. Oil and gas price assumptions and discount rate assumptions used were as disclosed in Note 1. The average production for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing over the next 15 years is 877 mmboe per year (2019 829 mmboe per year). The weighted average pre-tax discount rate used in the test is 11% (2019 12%).

The key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculation are oil and natural gas prices, production volumes and the discount rate. The value-in-use calculation has been prepared solely for the purposes of determining whether the goodwill balance was impaired. Estimated future cash flows were prepared on the basis of certain assumptions prevailing at the time of the test. The actual outcomes may differ from the assumptions made. For example, reserves and resources estimates and production forecasts are subject to revision as further technical information becomes available and economic conditions change. Due to economic developments, regulatory change and emissions reduction activity arising from climate concern and other factors, future commodity prices and other assumptions may differ from the forecasts used in the calculations.
Sensitivities to different variables have been estimated using certain simplifying assumptions. For example, lower oil and gas price or production sensitivities do not fully reflect the specific impacts for each contractual arrangement and will not capture all favourable impacts that may arise from cost deflation or savings. A detailed calculation at any given price or production profile may, therefore, produce a different result.
Adverse changes in input assumptions applied in respect to assets carried at or close to their value in use, primarily being those assets previously impaired, would have a limited effect on goodwill headroom, instead resulting in a direct impairment of the particular cash-generating unit's net book value. Conversely, a reduction in the value in use of those assets carried at a value below their respective values in use would result in an adverse impact on the goodwill headroom. It is estimated that a 21% reduction in revenue throughout each year of the remaining life of those assets, either as a result of adverse price or production conditions or a combination of each, would cause the recoverable amount to be equal to the carrying amount of goodwill and related net non-current assets of the segment.
It is estimated that no reasonably possible change in the discount rate would cause the recoverable amount to be equal to the carrying amount of goodwill and related net non-current assets of the segment.

Cash flows for each cash-generating unit are derived from the business segment plans, which cover a period of up to five years. To determine the value in use for each of the cash-generating units, cash flows for a period of 10 years are discounted and aggregated with a terminal value.
Lubricants
As permitted by IAS 36, the detailed calculations of Lubricants’ recoverable amount performed in the most recent detailed calculation in 2018 was used as the basis for the tests in 2020 as the criteria of IAS 36 were considered satisfied: the headroom was substantial in 2018; there have been no significant changes in the assets and liabilities; and the likelihood that the recoverable amount would be less than the carrying amount is remote.
The key assumptions to which the calculation of value in use for the Lubricants unit is most sensitive are operating unit margins, sales volumes, and discount rate. Operating margin and sales volumes assumptions used in the detailed impairment review of goodwill calculation are consistent with the assumptions used in the Lubricants unit’s business plan and values assigned to these key assumptions reflect past experience. No reasonably possible change in any of these key assumptions would cause the unit’s carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount. Cash flows beyond the plan period are extrapolated using a nominal 2.8% growth rate.

Financial statements
17. Investments in associates – continued
bp owns 19.75% of the voting shares of Rosneft which are listed on the MICEX stock exchange in Moscow and its global depository receipts are listed on the London Stock Exchange. Rosneft’s largest shareholder is Rosneftegaz JSC (Rosneftegaz), which is wholly owned by the Russian government. At 31 December 2020, Rosneftegaz held 40.4% (2019 50.0% plus one share) of the voting shares of Rosneft.
bp classifies its investment in Rosneft as an associate because, in management’s judgement, bp has significant influence over Rosneft; see Interests in other entities within Note 1 for further information. The group’s investment in Rosneft is a foreign operation whose functional currency is the Russian rouble. The decrease in the group's equity-accounted investment balance for Rosneft at 31 December 2020 compared with 31 December 2019 principally relates to adverse foreign exchange effects, which have been recognized in other comprehensive income, and dividends, partially offset by bp's share of Rosneft’s changes in equity.
During 2020 Rosneft completed a transaction to transfer all of its interest and cease participation in its Venezuelan businesses to a company owned by the government of the Russian Federation. In consideration, Rosneft received shares equal to a 9.6% share of its own equity. The shares are held by a 100% subsidiary of Rosneft and accounted for as treasury shares. Rosneft also entered into share buyback transactions during the year. These are also accounted for as treasury shares. bp retains 19.75% of the voting rights at meetings of Rosneft shareholders and will continue to be entitled to dividends based on its current shareholding. bp’s economic interest, however, increased as a result of its indirect interest in the shares held by the subsidiary of Rosneft. bp’s share of profit or loss of Rosneft reflects its economic interest. At 31 December 2020, bp's economic interest was 22.03%.
On 28 December 2020 Rosneft completed the acquisition of 100% stakes in JSC Taimyrneftegaz and LLC Taimyrburservis, and the sale of a 10% interest in LLC Vostok Oil. A preliminary assessment of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired and the consideration transferred in respect of the acquisitions has been undertaken and the further impact, if any, on bp’s accounting for its equity-accounted investment in Rosneft will be updated once this has been finalised.
The value of bp’s 19.75% shareholding in Rosneft based on the quoted market share price of $5.64 per share (2019 $7.21 per share) was $11,804 million at 31 December 2020 (2019 $15,090 million). The value of bp's 22.03% economic interest based on the quoted market share price was $13,167 million at 31 December 2020.

The following table provides summarized financial information relating to Rosneft. This information is presented on a 100% basis and reflects adjustments made by bp to Rosneft’s own results in applying the equity method of accounting. bp adjusts Rosneft’s results for the accounting required under IFRS relating to bp’s purchase of its interest in Rosneft and the amortization of the deferred gain relating to the disposal of bp’s interest in TNK-BP.

a    In 2014-2019, Rosneft adopted hedge accounting in relation to a portion of highly probable future export revenue denominated in US dollars. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on the retranslation of borrowings denominated in currencies other than the Russian rouble and designated as hedging instruments were recognized initially in other comprehensive income, and were reclassified to the income statement as the hedged revenue was recognized.

During the year, bp and Reliance Industries completed the formation of a new fuels and mobility venture, Reliance BP Mobility Limited, that will operate across India under the Jio-bp brand. bp invested $1 billion to acquire a 49% stake in the company.

Contingent consideration relates to amounts arising on disposals which are financial assets classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value is determined using an estimate of discounted future cash flows that are expected to be received and is considered a level 3 valuation under the fair value hierarchy. Future cash flows are estimated based on inputs including oil and natural gas prices, production volumes and operating costs related to the disposed operations. The discount rate used is based on a risk-free rate adjusted for asset-specific risks. The contingent consideration principally relates to the disposal of our Alaskan business.

a Principally exchange adjustments.
Valuation and qualifying accounts relating to trade and other receivables comprise expected credit loss allowances. The adjustment on adoption of IFRS 9 relates to the additional loss allowance required by IFRS 9's expected credit loss model. The expected credit loss allowance comprises $456 million (2019 $414 million, 2018 $327 million) relating to receivables that were credit-impaired at the end of the year and $99 million (2019 $95 million, 2018 $89 million) relating to receivables that were not credit-impaired at the end of the year. Whilst credit risk has increased since 31 December 2019, there has also been a significant reduction in the group's trade and other receivables balance. Therefore, the total expected credit loss allowances recognized as at 31 December 2020 have not significantly increased during the year.
Valuation and qualifying accounts relating to fixed asset investments comprise impairment provisions for investments in equity-accounted entities. The adjustment on adoption of IFRS 9 primarily relates to amounts provided against investments in equity instruments that were held at cost less impairment losses under IAS 39 but that are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9.
In addition to the amounts presented above, expected loss allowances on cash and cash equivalents classified as measured at amortized cost totalled $11 million (2019 $11 million). For further information on the group's credit risk management policies and how the group recognizes and measures expected losses see Note 29.
Valuation and qualifying accounts are deducted in the balance sheet from the assets to which they apply.

Gulf of Mexico oil spill
The group has recognized certain assets, payables and provisions and incurs certain residual costs relating to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill that occurred in 2010. In addition to the Litigation and claims narrative provided in this note, for further information see Notes 7, 9, 20, 22, 29, 33.
Litigation and claims
The Economic and Property Damages Settlement Agreement (EPD Settlement Agreement) with the Plaintiff's Steering Committee (PSC) provides for a court-supervised settlement programme, the Deepwater Horizon Court Supervised Settlement Programme (DHCSSP), which commenced operation on 4 June 2012. On 22 January 2021, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana issued an order determining the completion of all claims processing operations of the DHCSSP. The Court also concluded that future issues concerning EPD Settlement Agreement claims would be time barred under the DHCSSP and the claim administrator would proceed to complete post-closure administrative wind down activities. Amounts payable for settled economic and property damage claims are reported within payables - see Note 22 for further information.
A separate claims administrator was appointed to pay medical claims and to implement other aspects of the Medical Benefits Class Action Settlement. For further information on the PSC settlements, see Legal proceedings on page 226.
The litigation and claims provision reflects the latest estimate for the remaining costs associated with the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The amounts payable may differ from the amount provided and the timing of payments is uncertain.

24. Pensions and other post-retirement benefits
Most group companies have pension plans, the forms and benefits of which vary with conditions and practices in the countries concerned. Pension benefits may be provided through defined contribution plans (money purchase schemes) or defined benefit plans (final salary and other types of schemes with committed pension benefit payments). For defined contribution plans, retirement benefits are determined by the value of funds arising from contributions paid in respect of each employee. For defined benefit plans, retirement benefits are based on such factors as an employee’s pensionable salary and length of service. Defined benefit plans may be funded or unfunded. The assets of funded plans are generally held in separately administered trusts.
For information on significant estimates and judgements made in relation to accounting for these plans see Pensions and other post-retirement benefits in Note 1.
The primary pension arrangement in the UK is a funded final salary pension plan under which retired employees draw the majority of their benefit as an annuity. This pension plan is governed by a corporate trustee whose board is composed of four member-nominated directors, four company-nominated directors, one independent director and one independent chairman nominated by the company. The trustee board is required by law to act in the best interests of the plan participants and is responsible for setting certain policies, such as investment policies of the plan. The UK plan is closed to new joiners and is currently under consultation for closure to future accrual. As at 31 December 2020, it remained open to ongoing accrual for current members. New joiners in the UK are eligible for membership of a defined contribution plan.
In the US, all pension benefits now accrue under a cash balance formula. Benefits previously accrued under final salary formulas are legally protected. Retiring US employees typically take their pension benefit in the form of a lump sum payment upon retirement. The plan is funded and its assets are overseen by a fiduciary Investment Committee. During 2020 the committee was composed of seven bp employees appointed by the president of bp Corporation North America Inc. (the appointing officer). The Investment Committee is required by law to act in the best interests of the plan participants and is responsible for setting certain policies, such as the investment policies of the plan. US employees are also eligible to participate in a defined contribution (401k) plan in which employee contributions are matched with company contributions. In the US, group companies also provide post-retirement healthcare to most retired employees and their dependants (and, in certain cases, life insurance coverage); the entitlement to these benefits is usually based on the employee remaining in service until a specified age and completion of a minimum period of service.

24. Pensions and other post-retirement benefits – continued
In the Eurozone, there are defined benefit pension plans in Germany, France, the Netherlands and other countries. In Germany and France, the majority of the pensions are unfunded, in line with market practice. In Germany, the group’s largest Eurozone plan, employees receive a pension and also have a choice to supplement their core pension through salary sacrifice. For employees who joined since 2002, the core pension benefit is a career average plan with retirement benefits based on such factors as an employee’s pensionable salary and length of service. The returns on the notional contributions made by both the company and employees are based on the interest rate which is set out in German tax law. Retired German employees take their pension benefit typically in the form of an annuity. The German plans are governed by legal agreements between bp and the works council or between bp and the trade union.
The level of contributions to funded defined benefit plans is the amount needed to provide adequate funds to meet pension obligations as they fall due. During 2020 the aggregate level of contributions was $325 million (2019 $349 million and 2018 $610 million). The aggregate level of contributions in 2021 is expected to be approximately $400 million, and includes contributions in all countries that we expect to be required to make contributions by law or under contractual agreements, as well as an allowance for discretionary funding.
For the primary UK plan there is a funding agreement between the group and the trustee. On an annual basis a schedule of contributions is agreed covering the next five years. Contractually committed funding amounted to $1,014 million at 31 December 2020, all of which relates to future service. This amount is included in the group’s committed cash flows relating to pensions and other post-retirement benefit plans as set out in the table of contractual obligations on page 307.
The surplus relating to the primary UK pension plan is recognized on the balance sheet on the basis that the company is entitled to a refund of any remaining assets once all members have left the plan.
Minimum pension funding in the US is determined by legislation and is supplemented by discretionary contributions. No contributions were made into the primary US pension plan in 2020 and no statutory funding requirement is expected in the next 12 months.
The surplus relating to the primary US fund is recognized on the balance sheet on the basis that economic benefit can be gained from the surplus through a reduction in future contributions.
There was no minimum funding requirement for the US plan, and no significant minimum funding requirements in other countries at 31 December 2020.
The obligation and cost of providing pensions and other post-retirement benefits is assessed annually using the projected unit credit method. The date of the most recent actuarial review was 31 December 2020. The UK plans are subject to a formal actuarial valuation every three years; valuations are required more frequently in many other countries.The most recent formal actuarial valuation of the UK pension plans was as at 31 December 2017, and a valuation as at 31 December 2020 is currently underway. A valuation of the US plan and largest Eurozone plans are carried out annually.
The material financial assumptions used to estimate the benefit obligations of the various plans are set out below. The assumptions are reviewed by management at the end of each year and are used to evaluate the accrued benefit obligation at 31 December and pension expense for the following year.

The discount rate assumptions are based on third-party AA corporate bond indices and for our largest plans in the UK, US and the Eurozone we use yields that reflect the maturity profile of the expected benefit payments. The inflation rate assumptions for our UK and US plans are based on the difference between the yields on index-linked and fixed-interest long-term government bonds. In other countries, including the Eurozone, we use this approach, or advice from the local actuary depending on the information available. The inflation assumptions are used to determine the rate of increase for pensions in payment and the rate of increase in deferred pensions where there is such an increase.
The assumptions for the rate of increase in salaries are based on the inflation assumption plus an allowance for expected long-term real salary growth. These include an allowance for promotion-related salary growth, of up to 0.8% depending on country.

In addition to the financial assumptions, we regularly review the demographic and mortality assumptions. The mortality assumptions reflect best practice in the countries in which we provide pensions and have been chosen with regard to applicable published tables adjusted where appropriate to reflect the experience of the group and an extrapolation of past longevity improvements into the future. bp’s most substantial pension liabilities are in the UK, the US and the Eurozone where our mortality assumptions are as follows:

Pension plan assets are generally held in trusts, the primary objective of which is to accumulate assets sufficient to meet the obligations of the plans. The assets of the trusts are invested in a manner consistent with fiduciary obligations and principles that reflect current practices in portfolio management.
A significant proportion of the assets are held in equities, which are expected to generate a higher level of return over the long term, with an acceptable level of risk. In order to provide reasonable assurance that no single security or type of security has an unwarranted impact on the total portfolio, the investment portfolios are highly diversified.
The trustee’s long-term investment objective for the primary UK plan as it matures is to invest in assets whose value changes in the same way as the plan liabilities, in order to reduce the level of funding risk. To move towards this objective, the UK plan uses a liability driven investment (LDI) approach for part of the portfolio, investing primarily in government bonds to achieve this matching effect for the most significant plan liability assumptions of interest rate and inflation rate. This is partly funded by short-term sale and repurchase agreements, whereby the plan borrows money using existing bonds as security and which will be bought back at a specified price at an agreed future date. The funds raised are used to invest in further bonds to increase the proportion of assets which match the plan liabilities. The borrowings are shown separately in the analysis of pension plan assets in the table below.
For the primary UK pension plan there is an agreement with the trustee to increase the proportion of assets with liability matching characteristics over time primarily by reducing the proportion of plan assets held as equities and increasing the proportion held as bonds. During 2020, the UK plan switched 11% of plan assets from equities to bonds (2019 2%). There is a similar agreement in place for the primary US plan, although no switches have taken place in 2019 or 2020.
The current asset allocation policy for the major plans at 31 December 2020 was as follows:
UK US
Asset category % %
Total equity (including private equity) 17  40 
Bonds/cash (including LDI) 76  60 
Property/real estate 7   
The amounts invested under the LDI programme by the primary UK pension plan as at 31 December 2020 were $4,217 million (2019 $4,804 million) of government-issued nominal bonds and $24,576 million (2019 $19,462 million) of index-linked bonds.
Some of the group’s pension plans in the Eurozone and other countries use derivative financial instruments as part of their asset mix to manage the level of risk. The fair value of these instruments is included in other assets in the table below.
The group’s main pension plans do not invest directly in either securities or property/real estate of the company or of any subsidiary.
The fair values of the various categories of assets held by the defined benefit plans at 31 December are presented in the table below, including the effects of derivative financial instruments. Movements in the fair value of plan assets during the year are shown in detail in the table on page 201.

a    The costs of managing plan investments are offset against the investment return, the costs of administering pension plan benefits are generally included in current service cost and the costs of administering other post-retirement benefit plans are included in the benefit obligation.
b    Past service credits represent curtailment gains arising from restructuring programmes in the UK, US and other countries, whilst past service costs and settlements in the Eurozone represent charges for special termination benefits reflecting the increased liability arising as a result of early retirements. Settlement costs in the US resulted from a pension risk transfer to an external carrier for a group of small benefit retirees.
c    Most of the contributions made by plan participants into UK pension plans were made under salary sacrifice.
d    The benefit payments amount shown above comprises $2,935 million benefits and $428 million settlements, plus $40 million of plan expenses incurred in the administration of the benefit.
e    The benefit obligation for the US is made up of $7,728 million for pension liabilities and $2,459 million for other post-retirement benefit liabilities (which are unfunded and are primarily retiree medical liabilities). The benefit obligation for the Eurozone includes $5,060 million for pension liabilities in Germany which is largely unfunded.
f    The actual return on plan assets is made up of the sum of the interest income on plan assets and the remeasurement of plan assets as disclosed above.
g    The fair value of plan assets includes borrowings related to the LDI programme as described on page 199.

Sensitivity analysis
The discount rate, inflation, salary growth and the mortality assumptions all have a significant effect on the amounts reported. A one-percentage point change, in isolation, in certain assumptions as at 31 December 2020 for the group’s pensions and other post-retirement benefit expense would have had the effects shown in the tables below. The effects shown for the expense in 2021 comprise the total of current service cost and net finance income or expense.

Finance debt does not include accrued interest, which is reported within other payables. As part of actively managing its debt portfolio, during the year the group bought back $4.0 billion equivalent (2019 $nil) of euro and sterling bonds and terminated derivatives associated with the debt bought back. In addition on 18 December 2020 the group exercised its option to redeem finance debt with an outstanding aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion on 22 January 2021. On 19 March 2021 the group bought back a further $1.9 billion equivalent of euro and sterling bonds and terminated associated derivatives. These transactions have no significant impact on net debt or gearing.

Fair values
The estimated fair value of finance debt is shown in the table below together with the carrying amount as reflected in the balance sheet.
Long-term borrowings in the table below include the portion of debt that matures in the 12 months from 31 December 2020, whereas in the group balance sheet the amount is reported within current finance debt.
The carrying amount of the group’s short-term borrowings, comprising mainly of commercial paper, approximates their fair value. The fair values of the significant majority of the group’s long-term borrowings are determined using quoted prices in active markets, and so fall within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Where quoted prices are not available, quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets are used and such measurements are therefore categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

27. Capital disclosures and net debt
The group defines capital as total equity plus net debt. We maintain our financial framework to support the pursuit of value growth for shareholders, while ensuring a secure financial base.
The group monitors capital on basis of gearing, that is, the ratio of net debt to net debt plus equity. Net debt is calculated as finance debt, as shown in the balance sheet, plus the fair value of associated derivative financial instruments that are used to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate risks relating to finance debt for which hedge accounting is applied, less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt and gearing are non-GAAP measures. bp believes these measures provide useful information to investors. Net debt enables investors to see the economic effect of finance debt, related hedges and cash and cash equivalents in total. Gearing enables investors to see how significant net debt is relative to total equity. The derivatives are reported on the balance sheet within the headings ‘Derivative financial instruments’. All components of equity are included in the denominator of the calculation.
At 31 December 2020, gearing was 31.3% (2019 31.1%).

28. Leases
The group leases a number of assets as part of its activities. This primarily includes drilling rigs in the Upstream segment and retail service stations, oil depots and storage tanks in the Downstream segment as well as office accommodation and vessel charters across the group. The weighted-average remaining lease term for the total lease portfolio is around 8 years (2019 9 years). Some leases will have payments that vary with market interest or inflation rates. Certain leases contain residual value guarantees, which may be triggered in certain circumstances such as if market values have significantly declined at the conclusion of the lease.
The table below shows the timing of the undiscounted cash outflows for the lease liabilities included on the balance sheet.

Interest income and expenses arising on financial instruments are disclosed in Note 7.
Financial risk factors
The group is exposed to a number of different financial risks arising from natural business exposures as well as its use of financial instruments including market risks relating to commodity prices; foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; credit risk; and liquidity risk.
The group financial risk committee (GFRC) advises the group chief financial officer (CFO) who oversees the management of these risks. The GFRC is chaired by the CFO and consists of a group of senior managers including the group treasurer and the heads of the group finance, tax and the integrated supply and trading functions. The purpose of the committee is to advise on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the group. The committee provides assurance to the CFO and the group chief executive (GCE), and via the GCE to the board, that the group’s financial risk-taking activity is governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with group policies and group risk appetite.
The group’s trading activities in the oil, natural gas, LNG and power markets are managed within the integrated supply and trading function. Treasury holds foreign exchange and interest-rate products in the financial markets to hedge group exposures related to debt and hybrid bond issuance; the compliance, control, and risk management processes for these activities are managed within the treasury function. All other foreign exchange and interest rate activities within financial markets are performed within the integrated supply and trading function and are also underpinned by the compliance, control and risk management infrastructure common to the activities of bp’s integrated supply and trading function. All derivative activity is carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. These teams are subject to close financial and management control.
The integrated supply and trading function maintains formal governance processes that provide oversight of market risk, credit risk and operational risk associated with trading activity. A policy and risk committee approves value-at-risk delegations, reviews incidents and validates risk-related policies, methodologies and procedures. A commitments committee approves the trading of new products, instruments and strategies and material commitments.
In addition, the integrated supply and trading function undertakes derivative activity for risk management purposes under a control framework as described more fully below.
(a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk or uncertainty arising from possible market price movements and their impact on the future performance of a business. The primary commodity price risks that the group is exposed to include oil, natural gas and power prices that could adversely affect the value of the group’s financial assets, liabilities or expected future cash flows. The group enters into derivatives in a well-established entrepreneurial trading operation. In addition, the group has developed a control framework aimed at managing the volatility inherent in certain of its natural business exposures. In accordance with the control framework the group enters into various transactions using derivatives for risk management purposes.
The major components of market risk are commodity price risk, foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk, each of which is discussed below.
(i) Commodity price risk
The group’s integrated, supply and trading function is responsible for delivering value across the overall crude, oil products, gas and power supply chains. As such, it routinely enters into spot and term physical commodity contracts in addition to optimising physical storage, pipeline and transportation capacity. These activities expose the group to commodity price risk which is managed by entering into oil and natural gas swaps, options and futures.
The group measures market risk exposure arising from its trading positions in liquid periods using value-at-risk techniques based on Variance/Covariance or Monte Carlo simulation models. These techniques make a statistical assessment of the market risk arising from possible future changes in market prices over a one-day holding period within a 95% confidence level. The value-at-risk measure is supplemented by stress testing and scenario analysis through simulating the financial impact of certain physical, economic and geo-political scenarios. Trading activity occurring in liquid periods is
bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020
207


29. Financial instruments and financial risk factors – continued
subject to value-at-risk and other limits for each trading activity and the aggregate of all trading activity. The board has delegated a limit of $100 million (2019 $100 million) value at risk in support of this trading activity. Alternative measures are used to monitor exposures which are outside liquid periods and for which value-at-risk techniques are not appropriate.
(ii) Foreign currency exchange risk
Since bp has global operations, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can have a significant effect on the group’s reported results and future expenditure commitments. The effects of most exchange rate fluctuations are absorbed in business operating results through changing cost competitiveness, lags in market adjustment to movements in rates and translation differences accounted for on specific transactions. For this reason, the total effect of exchange rate fluctuations is not identifiable separately in the group’s reported results. The main underlying economic currency of the group’s cash flows is the US dollar. This is because bp’s major product, oil, is priced internationally in US dollars. bp’s foreign currency exchange management policy is to limit economic and material transactional exposures arising from currency movements against the US dollar. The group co-ordinates the handling of foreign currency exchange risks centrally, by netting off naturally-occurring opposite exposures wherever possible and then managing any material residual foreign currency exchange risks.
Most of the group’s borrowings are in US dollars or are hedged with respect to the US dollar. At 31 December 2020, the total foreign currency borrowings not swapped into US dollars amounted to $321 million (2019 $219 million). During the year the group issued perpetual subordinated hybrid bonds in euro, sterling and US dollars. Whilst the contractual terms of these instruments allow the group to defer coupon payments and the repayment of principal indefinitely, the group has chosen to manage the foreign currency exposure relating to the non-US dollar hybrid bonds to their respective first call periods.
The group manages the net residual foreign currency exposures by constantly reviewing the foreign currency economic value at risk and aims to manage such risk to keep the 12-month foreign currency value at risk below $400 million. At no point over the past three years did the value at risk exceed the maximum risk limit. A continuous assessment is made in respect to the group’s foreign currency exposures to capture hedging requirements.
During the year, hedge accounting was applied to foreign currency exposure to highly probable forecast capital expenditure commitments. The group fixes the US dollar cost of non-US dollar supplies by using currency forwards for the highly probable forecast capital expenditure; the exposures are in sterling, euro, Australian dollar and Korean won. At 31 December 2020 the most significant open contracts in place were for $124 million sterling (2019 $106 million sterling).
Where the group enters into foreign currency exchange contracts for entrepreneurial trading purposes the activity is controlled using trading value-at-risk techniques as explained in (i) commodity price risk above.    
(iii) Interest rate risk
bp is also exposed to interest rate risk from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair values of its financial instruments, principally finance debt. While the group issues debt and hybrid bonds in a variety of currencies based on market opportunities, it uses derivatives to swap the economic exposure to a floating rate basis, mainly to US dollar floating, but in certain defined circumstances maintains a US dollar fixed rate exposure for a proportion of debt. The proportion of floating rate debt net of interest rate swaps at 31 December 2020 was 45% of total finance debt outstanding (2019 62%). The weighted average interest rate on finance debt at 31 December 2020 was 3% (2019 3%) and the weighted average maturity of fixed rate debt was eight years (2019 five years).
The group’s earnings are sensitive to changes in interest rates on the element of the group’s finance debt that has been swapped to floating rates. If the interest rates applicable to these floating rate instruments were to have changed by one percentage point on 1 January 2021, it is estimated that the group’s finance costs for 2021 would change by approximately $330 million (2019 $419 million).
Financial authorities in the US, UK, EU and other territories are currently undertaking reviews of key interest rate benchmarks such as the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with a view to replacing them with alternative benchmarks. bp is significantly exposed to benchmark interest rate components; predominantly USD LIBOR, GBP LIBOR, EURIBOR and CHF LIBOR. Following the completion of consultation processes, these financial authorities have begun to announce the timing of both benchmark transitions and continued publication of synthetic benchmarks.
In October 2020 the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) published its fallback protocol containing clauses to amend derivative contracts on the cessation of LIBOR should an entity and its counterparties adhere to the protocol. The protocol’s pricing mechanism is at fair market value and bp has signed up to the protocol as this removes transition uncertainty for any interest rate and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts of the Group without fall-back clauses. The ISDA fallback protocol is expected to increase market activity and certainty such that corporates can finalize their plans for implementation of the transition. bp continues to monitor regulatory and market developments over the course of the transition.
In response to the cessation of the interbank offered rates (IBORs), bp has set up an internal working group to monitor market developments and manage the transition to alternative benchmark rates and is currently assessing the impact on contracts and arrangements that are linked to existing interest rate benchmarks, for example, borrowings, leases and derivative contracts. bp is also participating on external committees and task forces dedicated to interest rate benchmark reform.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to perform or fail to pay amounts due causing financial loss to the group and arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with financial institutions and principally from credit exposures to customers relating to outstanding receivables. Credit exposure also exists in relation to guarantees issued by group companies under which the outstanding exposure incremental to that recognized on the balance sheet at 31 December 2020 was $1,405 million (2019 $692 million) in respect of liabilities of joint ventures and associates and $661 million (2019 $523 million) in respect of liabilities of other third parties.
The group has a credit policy, approved by the CFO that is designed to ensure that consistent processes are in place throughout the group to measure and control credit risk. Credit risk is considered as part of the risk-reward balance of doing business. On entering into any business contract the extent to which the arrangement exposes the group to credit risk is considered. Key requirements of the policy include segregation of credit approval authorities from any sales, marketing or trading teams authorized to incur credit risk; the establishment of credit systems and processes to ensure that all counterparty exposure is rated and that all counterparty exposure and limits can be monitored and reported; and the timely identification and reporting of any non-approved credit exposures and credit losses. While each segment is responsible for its own credit risk management and reporting consistent with group policy, the treasury function holds group-wide credit risk authority and oversight responsibility for exposure to banks and financial institutions. Standing credit controls and processes were augmented intra-year given heightened uncertainty from increased oil price volatility and the evolving COVID-19 pandemic. Constraints on incoming credit risks were tightened, credit reporting and frequency was enhanced from the operational to board level, and key credit risk strategies were reviewed and vetted.

For the purposes of financial reporting the group calculates expected loss allowances based on the maximum contractual period over which the group is exposed to credit risk. Lifetime expected credit losses are recognized for trade receivables and the credit risk associated with the significant majority of financial assets measured at amortized cost is considered to be low. Since the tenor of substantially all of the group's in-scope financial assets is less than 12 months there is no significant difference between the measurement of 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses. Expected loss allowances for financial guarantee contracts are typically lower than their initial fair value less, where appropriate, amortization. Financial assets are considered to be credit-impaired when there is reasonable and supportable evidence that one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. This includes observable data concerning significant financial difficulty of the counterparty; a breach of contract; concession being granted to the counterparty for economic or contractual reasons relating to the counterparty’s financial difficulty, that would not otherwise be considered; it becoming probable that the counterparty will enter bankruptcy or other financial re-organization or an active market for the financial asset disappearing because of financial difficulties. The group also applies a rebuttable presumption that an asset is credit-impaired when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. Where the group has no reasonable expectation of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof, for example where all legal avenues for collection of amounts due have been exhausted, the financial asset (or relevant portion) is written off.
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss after recovery if there is a default) and the exposure at default (i.e. the asset's carrying amount). The group allocates a credit risk rating to exposures based on data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss, including but not limited to external ratings. Probabilities of default derived from historical, current and future-looking market data are assigned by credit risk rating with a loss given default based on historical experience and relevant market and academic research applied by exposure type. Experienced credit judgement is applied to ensure probabilities of default are reflective of the credit risk associated with the group's exposures. Credit enhancements that would reduce the group's credit losses in the event of default are reflected in the calculation when they are considered integral to the related asset.
The maximum credit exposure associated with financial assets is equal to the carrying amount. The group does not aim to remove credit risk entirely but expects to experience a certain level of credit losses. As at 31 December 2020, the group had in place credit enhancements designed to mitigate approximately $5.4 billion (2019 $7.0 billion) of credit risk, of which substantially all relates to assets in the scope of IFRS 9's impairment requirements. Credit enhancements include standby and documentary letters of credit, bank guarantees, insurance and liens which are typically taken out with financial institutions who have investment grade credit ratings, or are liens over assets held by the counterparty of the related receivables. Reports are regularly prepared and presented to the GFRC that cover the group’s overall credit exposure and expected loss trends, exposure by segment, and overall quality of the portfolio.
Management information used to monitor credit risk, which reflects the impact of credit enhancements, indicates that the risk profile of financial assets which are subject to review for impairment under IFRS 9 is as set out below.

As at 31 December 2020 2019

(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that suitable sources of funding for the group’s business activities may not be available. The group’s liquidity is managed centrally with operating units forecasting their cash and currency requirements to the central treasury function. Unless restricted by local regulations, generally subsidiaries pool their cash surpluses to the treasury function, which will then arrange to fund other subsidiaries’ requirements, or invest any net surplus in the market or arrange for necessary external borrowings, while managing the group’s overall net currency positions.
The group benefits from open credit provided by suppliers who generally sell on five to 60-day payment terms in accordance with industry norms. bp utilizes various arrangements in order to manage its working capital and reduce volatility in cash flow. This includes discounting of receivables and, in the supply and trading businesses, managing inventory, collateral and supplier payment terms within a maximum of 60 days.
It is normal practice in the oil and gas supply and trading business for customers and suppliers to utilise letter of credit (LC) facilities to mitigate credit and non-performance risk. Consequently, LCs facilitate active trading in a global market where credit and performance risk can be significant. In common with the industry, bp routinely provides LCs to some of its suppliers.
The group has committed LC facilities totalling $11,325 million (2019 $12,175 million), allowing LCs to be issued for a maximum 24-month duration. There were also uncommitted secured LC facilities in place at 31 December 2020 for $3,460 million (2019 $4,440 million), which are secured against inventories or receivables when utilized. The facilities are held with over 25 international banks. The uncommitted secured LC facilities can only be terminated by either party giving a stipulated termination notice to the other.
In certain circumstances, the supplier has the option to request accelerated payment from the LC provider in order to further reduce their exposure. bp’s payments are made to the provider of the LC rather than the supplier according to the original contractual payment terms. At 31 December 2020, $5,250 million (2019 $4,755 million) of the group’s trade payables subject to these arrangements were payable to LC providers, with no material exposure to any individual provider. If these facilities were not available, this could result in renegotiation of payment terms with suppliers such that settlement periods were shorter.
Standard & Poor’s Ratings long-term credit rating for bp is A- (negative outlook) and Moody’s Investors Service rating is A1 (negative outlook) and the Fitch Ratings' long-term credit rating is A (stable).
During 2020, $14 billion (2019 $8 billion) of long-term taxable bonds were issued with terms ranging from two to thirty years. In addition the group issued perpetual hybrid bonds with a US dollar equivalent value of $11.9 billion. Commercial paper is issued at competitive rates to meet short-term borrowing requirements as and when needed.
As a further liquidity measure, the group continues to maintain suitable levels of cash and cash equivalents, amounting to $31.1 billion at 31 December 2020 (2019 $22.5 billion), primarily invested with highly rated banks or money market funds and readily accessible at immediate and short notice. At 31 December 2020, the group had substantial amounts of undrawn borrowing facilities available, consisting of an undrawn committed $10.0 billion credit facility and $7.6 billion (2019 $7.6 billion) of standby facilities. On 1st March 2021, following an assessment of liquidity requirements, the group replaced these with new facility agreements, consisting of an undrawn committed $8.0 billion credit facility and $4.0 billion of standby facilities. The facilities are available for three and five years respectively at pre-agreed margins and are with 27 international banks, and borrowings under them would be at pre-agreed rates.
For further information on the group's sources and uses of cash see Liquidity and capital resources on page 306.
The group manages liquidity risk associated with derivative contracts, other than derivative hedging instruments, based on the expected maturities of both derivative assets and liabilities as indicated in Note 30. Management does not currently anticipate any cash flows, other than noted below, that could be of a significantly different amount or could occur earlier than the expected maturity analysis provided.
The table below shows the timing of cash outflows relating to finance debt, trade and other payables and accruals. As part of actively managing the group’s debt portfolio it is possible that cash flows in relation to finance debt could be accelerated from the profile provided. As a result of the 19 March 2021 debt buy back (see Note 26 for further information) $1.9 billion equivalent of cash outflows relating to finance debt that are presented in the table with maturities of 2-8 years have occurred within one year of the balance sheet date.

The table below shows the timing of cash outflows for derivative financial instruments entered into for the purpose of managing interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk, whether or not hedge accounting is applied, based upon contractual payment dates. As part of actively managing the group’s debt portfolio it is possible that cash flows in relation to associated derivatives could be accelerated from the profile provided. The amounts reflect the gross settlement amount where the pay leg of a derivative will be settled separately from the receive leg, as in the case of cross-currency swaps hedging non-US dollar finance debt or hybrid bonds. The swaps are with high investment-grade counterparties and therefore the settlement-day risk exposure is considered to be negligible. Not shown in the table are the gross settlement amounts (inflows) for the receive leg of derivatives that are settled separately from the pay leg, which amount to $33,704 million at 31 December 2020 (2019 $24,787 million) to be received on the same day as the related cash outflows. As a result of the termination of derivatives associated with the 19 March 2021 debt buy back (see Note 26 for further information) $1.8 billion of cash outflows that are presented in the table with maturities of 2-8 years and $1.9 billion equivalent of cash inflows on the receive legs have occurred within one year of the balance sheet date.

30. Derivative financial instruments
In the normal course of business the group enters into derivative financial instruments (derivatives) to manage its normal business exposures in relation to commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, including management of the balance between floating rate and fixed rate debt, consistent with risk management policies and objectives. An outline of the group’s financial risks and the objectives and policies pursued in relation to those risks is set out in Note 29. Additionally, the group has a well-established entrepreneurial trading operation that is undertaken in conjunction with these activities using a similar range of contracts.
For information on significant estimates and judgements made in relation to the valuation of derivatives see Derivative financial instruments within Note 1.
The fair values of derivative financial instruments at 31 December are set out below.
Exchange traded derivatives are valued using closing prices provided by the exchange as at the balance sheet date. These derivatives are categorized within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Exchange traded derivatives are typically considered settled through the (normally daily) payment or receipt of variation margin.
Over-the-counter (OTC) financial swaps and physical commodity sale and purchase contracts are generally valued using readily available information in the public markets and quotations provided by brokers and price index developers. These quotes are corroborated with market data and are categorized within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
In certain less liquid markets, or for longer-term contracts, forward prices are not as readily available. In these circumstances, OTC financial swaps and physical commodity sale and purchase contracts are valued using internally developed methodologies that consider historical relationships between various commodities, and that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. These contracts are categorized within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Financial OTC and physical commodity options are valued using industry standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic factors. The degree to which these inputs are observable in the forward markets determines whether the option is categorized within level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivatives held for trading
The group maintains active trading positions in a variety of derivatives. The contracts may be entered into for risk management purposes, to satisfy supply requirements or for entrepreneurial trading. Certain contracts are classified as held for trading, regardless of their original business objective, and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement. Trading activities are undertaken by using a range of contract types in combination to create incremental gains by arbitraging prices between markets, locations and time periods. The net of these exposures is monitored using market value-at-risk techniques as described in Note 29.

The amount recognized in the income statement for the year relating to level 3 held-for-trading derivatives still held at 31 December 2020 was a $315-million gain (2019 $250-million gain related to derivatives still held at 31 December 2019).
Derivative gains and losses
The group enters into derivative contracts including futures, options, swaps and certain forward sales and forward purchases contracts, relating to both currency and commodity trading activities. Gains or losses arise on contracts entered into for risk management purposes, optimization activity and entrepreneurial trading. They also arise on certain contracts that are for normal procurement or sales activity for the group but that are required to be fair valued under accounting standards. These gains and losses are included within sales and other operating revenues in the income statement. Also included within this line item are gains and losses on inventory held for trading purposes. The total amount relating to all these items was a net gain of $2,808 million. This number does not include gains and losses on the change in value of contracts which are not recognized under IFRS such as transportation and storage contracts, but does include the associated financially settled contracts. The net amounts for actual gains and losses relating to these derivative contracts and all related items therefore differ significantly from the amounts disclosed above.
The group also enters into derivative contracts relating to foreign currency risk management activities including contracts that the group has entered into to manage the foreign currency exposure relating to the non-US dollar hybrid bonds to their respective first call periods. Gains and losses on these contracts are included within production and manufacturing expenses in the income statement. The change in the unrealized value of these contracts was a net gain of $829 million (2019 $160 million net gain and 2018 $351 million net loss), however where these gains and losses arise on derivatives hedging finance debt they are largely offset by opposing net foreign exchange differences on retranslation of the associated non-US dollar debt. The net amounts for actual gains and losses relating to these derivative contracts and all related items therefore differ significantly from the amounts disclosed above.
Cash flow hedges
(i) Foreign currency risk of highly probable forecast capital expenditure
At 31 December 2020, the group held currency forwards designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedge relationships of highly probable forecast non-US dollar capital expenditure. Note 29 outlines the group’s approach to foreign currency exchange risk management. When the highly probable forecast capital expenditure designated as a hedged item occurs, a non-financial asset is recognized and is presented within the fixed asset section of the balance sheet.
The group claims hedge accounting only for the spot value of the currency exposure in line with the strategy to fix the volatility in the spot exchange rate element. The fair value on the instrument attributable to forward points and foreign currency basis spreads is taken immediately to the income statement.
The group applies hedge accounting where there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument. The existence of an economic relationship is determined at inception and prospectively by comparing the critical terms of the hedging instrument and those of the hedged item. The group enters into hedging derivatives that match the currency and notional of the hedged items on a 1:1 hedge ratio basis. The hedge ratio is determined by comparing the notional amount of the derivative with the notional designated on the forecast transaction. The group determines the extent to which it hedges highly probable forecast capital expenditures on a project by project basis.
The group has identified the following sources of ineffectiveness, which are not expected to be material:
counterparty's credit risk, the group mitigates counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative transactions with high credit quality counterparties; and

214
bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020

Financial statements
30. Derivative financial instruments – continued
differences in settlement timing between the derivative and hedged items. The latter impacts the discount factor used in the calculation of the hedge ineffectiveness. The group mitigates differences in timing between the derivatives and hedged items by applying a rolling strategy and by hedging currency pairs from stable economies (i.e. sterling/US dollar, Korean won/US dollar). The group's cash flow hedge designations are highly effective as the sources of ineffectiveness identified are expected to result in minimal hedge ineffectiveness.
The group has not designated any net positions as hedged items in cash flow hedges of foreign currency risk.
(ii) Commodity price risk of highly probable forecast sales
During the period the group held Henry Hub NYMEX futures designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedge relationships of certain highly probable forecast future sales. Henry Hub NYMEX futures are subject to daily settlement, where their fair value at the end of each day is required to be cash settled, such that the carrying amount of these hedging instruments within continuing hedge relationships is always zero at the end of each day.
The group is exposed to the variability in the gas price, but only applied hedge accounting to the risk of Henry Hub price movements for a percentage of future gas sales from its BPX Energy business.
The group applied hedge accounting in relation to these highly probable future sales where there was an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument. The existence of an economic relationship was determined at inception and prospectively by comparing the critical terms of the hedging instrument and those of the hedged item. The group entered into hedging derivatives that matched the notional amounts of the hedged items on a 1:1 hedge ratio basis. The hedge ratio was determined by comparing the notional amount of the derivative with the notional amount designated on the forecast transaction.
The hedge was highly effective due to the price index of the hedging instruments matching the price index of the hedged item. The group did not designate any net positions as hedged items in cash flow hedges of commodity price risk.
The tables below summarize the change in the fair value of hedging instruments and the hedged item used to calculate ineffectiveness in the period.

Fair value hedges
At 31 December 2020, the group held interest rate and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts as fair value hedges of the interest rate risk and foreign currency risk arising from group fixed rate debt issuances. Note 29 outlines the group’s approach to interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk management. The interest rate swaps are used to convert US dollar denominated fixed rate borrowings into floating rate debt. The cross-currency interest rate swaps are used to convert sterling, euro, Swiss franc, Canadian dollar and Norwegian krone denominated fixed rate borrowings into US dollar floating rate debt. The group manages all risks derived from debt issuance, such as credit risk, however, the group applies hedge accounting only to certain components of interest rate and foreign currency risk in order to minimize hedge ineffectiveness. The interest rate and foreign currency exposures are identified and hedged on an instrument-by-instrument basis. For interest rate exposures, the group designates as a fair value hedge the benchmark interest rate component only. This is an observable and reliably measurable component of interest rate risk.
All of the fair value hedge accounting relationships currently in place are directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform which will replace interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative benchmark rates as they all manage interest rate risk. The Group is significantly exposed to benchmark interest rate components; predominantly USD LIBOR, GBP LIBOR, EURIBOR and CHF LIBOR. The nominal amounts of the applicable hedging instruments represent the extent of the risk exposure bp manages for financial derivatives designated in fair value hedge relationships that is directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform. These are disclosed in the table below. Uncertainty around the method and timing of transition from Inter-bank Offered Rates (IBORs) to alternative risk-free rates (RfRs) may impact the assessment of whether hedge accounting can be applied to certain hedging relationships. However, the temporary reliefs provided by IFRS 9 allow bp to assume that in the event that significant uncertainty around the reform arises:
the interest rate benchmark component of fair value hedges only needs to be assessed as separately identifiable at initial designation; and
the interest rate benchmark is not altered for the purposes of assessing the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument for fair value hedges.
Judgement will be required to determine when the uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform is no longer present and when the temporary reliefs no longer apply. However, at 31 December 2020 the reliefs apply and bp continues to monitor regulatory and market developments as it manages the contractual transition.
For foreign currency exposures, the group excludes from the designation the foreign currency basis spread component implicit in the cross-currency interest rate swaps. This is separately calculated at hedge designation, is recognized in other comprehensive income over the life of the hedge and amortized to the income statement on a straight-line basis, in accordance with the group’s policy on costs of hedging.
The group applies hedge accounting where there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument. The existence of an economic relationship is determined initially by comparing the critical terms of the hedging instrument and those of the hedged item and it is prospectively assessed using linear regression analysis. The group issues fixed rate debt and enters into interest rate and cross-currency interest rate swaps with critical terms that match those of the debt and on a 1:1 hedge ratio basis. The hedge ratio is determined by comparing the notional amount of the derivative with the notional amount of the debt. The hedge relationship is designated for the full term and notional value of the debt. Both the hedging instrument and the hedged item are expected to be held to maturity.
The group has identified the following sources of ineffectiveness, which are not expected to be material:
derivative counterparty’s credit risk which is not offset by the hedged item. This risk is mitigated by entering into derivative transactions only with high credit quality counterparties; and
sensitivity to interest rate between the hedged item and the derivatives. This is driven by differences in payment frequencies between the instrument and the bond.
The tables below summarize the change in the fair value of hedging instruments and the hedged item used to calculate ineffectiveness in the period. The signage convention for changes in fair value presented in this table is consistent with that presented in Note 27.

bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020

32. Capital and reserves – continued
Share capital
The balance on the share capital account represents the aggregate nominal value of all ordinary and preference shares in issue, including treasury shares.
Share premium account
The balance on the share premium account represents the amounts received in excess of the nominal value of the ordinary and preference shares.
Capital redemption reserve
The balance on the capital redemption reserve represents the aggregate nominal value of all the ordinary shares repurchased and cancelled.
Merger reserve
The balance on the merger reserve represents the fair value of the consideration given in excess of the nominal value of the ordinary shares issued in an acquisition made by the issue of shares.
Treasury shares
Treasury shares represent bp shares repurchased and available for specific and limited purposes. For accounting purposes shares held in Employee Share Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and bp’s US share plan administrator to meet the future requirements of the employee share-based payment plans are treated in the same manner as treasury shares and are, therefore, included in the financial statements as treasury shares. The ESOPs are funded by the group and have waived their rights to dividends in respect of such shares held for future awards. Until such time as the shares held by the ESOPs vest unconditionally to employees, the amount paid for those shares is shown as a reduction in shareholders’ equity. Assets and liabilities of the ESOPs are recognized as assets and liabilities of the group.
Foreign currency translation reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve records exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations. Upon disposal of foreign operations, the related accumulated exchange differences are reclassified to the income statement.
Available-for-sale investments
This reserve recorded the changes in fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 except for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains or losses, or changes arising from revised estimates of future cash flows. On adoption of IFRS 9 the balance in this reserve was transferred to the profit and loss account reserve. Under the new standard the group recognizes fair value gains and losses on these investments in profit or loss.
Cash flow hedges
This reserve records the portion of the gain or loss on a hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge that is determined to be an effective hedge. It includes $651 million relating to the acquisition of an 18.5% interest in Rosneft in 2013 which will only be reclassified to the income statement if the investment in Rosneft is either sold or impaired. For further information on the accounting for cash flow hedges see Note 1 - Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.
Costs of hedging
This reserve records the change in fair value of the foreign currency basis spread of financial instruments to which cost of hedge accounting has been applied. The accumulated amount relates to time-period related hedged items and is amortized to profit or loss over the term of the hedging relationship.
Prior to the group’s adoption of IFRS 9 changes in the fair value of such foreign currency basis spreads were recognized in profit or loss. On adoption of the new standard a transfer from the profit and loss account reserve to the costs of hedging reserve was made in order to reflect the opening reserves position for relevant hedging instruments existing on transition. For further information on the accounting for costs of hedging see Note 1 - Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.
Profit and loss account
The balance held on this reserve is the accumulated retained profits of the group.
Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to bp shareholders. Included within non-controlling interests are perpetual subordinated hybrid bonds issued by BP Capital Markets PLC, a group subsidiary, on 17 June 2020 in euro, sterling and US dollars for a US dollar equivalent amount of $11.9 billion. The hybrid bonds include redemption options exercisable at the group’s discretion from June 2025 to March 2030 (the first ‘call date’), on specified dates thereafter, or in the event of specific circumstances (such as a change in IFRS or tax regime) as set out in the individual terms of each issue. Coupons are fixed for an initial period up to dates from September 2025 to June 2030 at rates of 3.25% to 4.875% and reset to rates determined by the contractual terms of each instrument on certain dates thereafter. The contractual terms of the hybrid bonds allow the group to defer coupon payments and the repayment of principal indefinitely, however their terms and conditions stipulate that any deferred payments must be made in the event of an announcement of an ordinary share or parity equity dividend distribution or certain share repurchases or redemptions. As the group has the unconditional right to avoid transferring cash or another financial asset in relation to these hybrid bonds, they are classified as equity instruments and reported within non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements.

33. Contingent liabilities and legal proceedings
Contingent liabilities
There were contingent liabilities at 31 December 2020 in respect of guarantees and indemnities entered into as part of the ordinary course of the group’s business. No material losses are likely to arise from such contingent liabilities. Further information on financial guarantees is included in Note 29.
In the normal course of the group’s business, bp group entities are subject to legal and regulatory proceedings arising out of current and past operations, including matters related to commercial disputes, product liability, antitrust, commodities trading, premises-liability claims, consumer protection, general health, safety, climate change and environmental claims and allegations of exposures of third parties to toxic substances, such as lead pigment in paint, asbestos and other chemicals. The amounts claimed could be significant and could be material to the group’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. While it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome in some cases, bp expects that the impact of current legal and regulatory proceedings on the group‘s results of operations, liquidity or financial position will not be material.
The group files tax returns in many jurisdictions across the world. Various tax authorities are currently examining these returns, which contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations. The resolution of tax positions through negotiations with relevant tax authorities, or through litigation, can take several years to complete and the amounts could be significant and could, in aggregate, be material to the group’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. While it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome in some cases, bp does not expect there to be any material impact upon the group‘s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020
225


33. Contingent liabilities and legal proceedings – continued
The group is subject to numerous national and local health, safety and environmental laws and regulations concerning its products, operations and other activities. These laws and regulations may require the group to take future action to remediate the effects on the environment of prior disposal or release of chemicals or petroleum substances by the group or other parties. Such contingencies may exist for various sites including refineries, chemical plants, oil fields, commodities extraction sites, service stations, terminals and waste disposal sites. In addition, the group may have obligations relating to prior asset sales or closed facilities. The ultimate requirement for remediation and its costs are inherently difficult to estimate. However, the estimated cost of environmental obligations has been provided in these accounts in accordance with the group‘s accounting policies. While the amounts of future possible costs that are not provided for could be significant and material to the group‘s results of operations in the period in which they are recognized, it is not possible to estimate the amounts involved. bp does not expect these costs to have a material impact on the group’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
If oil and natural gas production facilities and pipelines are sold to third parties and the subsequent owner is unable to meet their decommissioning obligations it is possible that, in certain circumstances, bp could be partially or wholly responsible for decommissioning. While the amounts associated with decommissioning provisions reverting to the group could be significant and could be material, bp is not currently aware of any such material cases that have a greater than remote chance of reverting to the group. In one current case in the US, the owner of facilities has filed for bankruptcy and submitted a proposed restructuring plan. It is considered possible that certain decommissioning costs associated with some of these facilities may in the future revert to bp in relation to assets previously disposed. No provision has been recognised and no reliable estimate of this potential exposure is available, however any amount which may revert is not expected to have a material impact on the group’s financial position. Furthermore, as described in Provisions and contingencies within Note 1, decommissioning provisions associated with downstream facilities are not generally recognized as the potential obligations cannot be measured given their indeterminate settlement dates.
Contingent liabilities related to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill
For information on legal proceedings relating to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, see Legal proceedings below. Any further outstanding Deepwater Horizon related claims are not expected to have a material impact on the group's financial performance.
Legal proceedings
Proceedings relating to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill
Introduction
BP Exploration & Production Inc. (BPXP) was lease operator of Mississippi Canyon, Block 252 in the Gulf of Mexico, where the semi-submersible rig Deepwater Horizon was deployed at the time of the 20 April 2010 explosion and fire and resulting oil spill (the Incident). Lawsuits and claims arising from the Incident were brought principally in US federal and state courts. The remaining proceedings arising from the Incident are discussed below.
Economic and Property Damages Settlement
On 22 January 2021, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana issued an order determining the completion of all claims processing operations of the court supervised settlement programme. That settlement programme had been established to administer claims pursuant to the Economic and Property Damages Settlement (EPD Settlement) which was entered into with the plaintiffs’ steering committee (PSC) acting on behalf of individual and business plaintiffs in the multi-district litigation proceedings in 2012 to resolve certain economic and property damage claims. The Court also ordered that all future issues concerning EPD Settlement claims would be considered time barred under the settlement programme and that the claims administrator should proceed to complete post-closure administrative wind down activities.
Medical Benefits Class Action Settlement
In 2012 the Medical Benefits Class Action Settlement (Medical Settlement) was entered into with the PSC. It involves payments to qualifying class members based on a matrix for certain Specified Physical Conditions (SPCs), as well as a 21-year Periodic Medical Consultation Program (PMCP) for qualifying class members. As of 31 December 2020, 1 claim remained pending determination. In total, 27,603 claims (comprising 22,833 SPC claims and 4,770 PMCP claims) have been approved for compensation totalling approximately $67 million and 9,623 claims have been denied.
The Medical Settlement also includes provisions regarding class members pursuing claims for later-manifested physical conditions (LMPCs). In order to seek compensation from bp for an LMPC, class members must file a notice with the Medical Claims Administrator within 4 years after the date of first diagnosis of the LMPC. As of 31 December 2020, there were 612 pending lawsuits brought by class members claiming LMPCs.
Other civil complaints – economic loss
Nearly all economic loss and property damage claims from individuals and businesses that either opted out of the EPD Settlement and/or were excluded from that settlement have been settled or dismissed.
The claims of 10 US-resident private plaintiffs remain in the multi-district litigation proceedings in federal district court in New Orleans. Those claims have been scheduled for a process of discovery and dispositive motions which is expected to conclude around mid-2021.
Other civil complaints – personal injury
The vast majority of post-explosion clean-up, medical monitoring and personal injury claims from individuals that either opted out of the Medical Settlement and/or were excluded from that settlement have been dismissed.
In 2019, the federal district court in New Orleans determined in a series of proceedings that 923 plaintiffs had post-explosion clean-up, medical monitoring and personal injury claims that complied with the court’s prior order to show cause why their claims should not be dismissed. As a result of several subsequent dismissals, approximately 881 plaintiffs’ claims remained as of 31 December 2020.
On 23 February 2021, the district court issued a Case Management Order announcing its intent to sever the personal injury cases from the multi-district litigation proceedings and staying the litigation of any punitive damages claims until plaintiffs can establish a right to compensatory damages. The district court also stated that the order severing and re-allotting these cases is forthcoming. Most cases will remain in the federal district court in New Orleans and be re-allotted among the judges of that court.
Individual securities litigation
In October 2020, bp engaged with the plaintiffs in a mediation of all remaining multi-district litigation proceedings in federal district court in Houston. 28 such actions on behalf of 115 plaintiffs remained pending on 31 December 2020. The mediation resulted in settlements of all these cases and settlement agreements have now been executed with all plaintiffs.

Canadian class actions
Following various legal proceedings, a plaintiff seeking to assert claims under Canadian law against bp on behalf of a class of Canadian residents who allegedly suffered losses because of their purchase of bp ordinary shares and ADSs appealed the motion to dismiss the case in its entirety granted on 8 November 2019. On 20 January 2021, the Court of Appeal affirmed that dismissal.
Non-US government lawsuits
On 18 October 2012, before a Mexican Federal District Court located in Mexico City, a class action complaint was filed against BP America Production Company (BPAPC) and other bp subsidiaries. On 27 June 2018, bp answered the complaint by seeking dismissal on various grounds including that no oil reached Mexican waters or land and there was no economic or environmental harm in Mexico. There has been no material development in these proceedings during 2020 and up to the date of publication of this BP Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 in 2021.
On 3 December 2015 and 29 March 2016, Acciones Colectivas de Sinaloa (ACS) filed two class actions (which have since been consolidated) in a Mexican Federal District Court on behalf of several Mexican states against BPXP, BPAPC, and other purported bp subsidiaries. In these class actions, plaintiffs seek an order requiring the bp defendants to repair the damage to the Gulf of Mexico, to pay penalties, and to compensate plaintiffs for damage to property, to health and for economic loss. BPXP and BPAPC opposed class certification and sought dismissal, principally on the basis that no oil reached Mexican waters or land and there was no economic or environmental harm in Mexico. The court certified the class on 25 September 2019 and bp appealed that decision including by way of constitutional challenge (amparo). The amparo action was denied on 8 October 2020 and on 18 January 2021, bp’s appeal of that ruling was also denied. Class notification procedures have not yet been finally determined.
These legal actions remain at a relatively early stage and while it is not possible to predict the outcome, bp believes that it has valid defences, and it intends to defend such actions vigorously.
Other legal proceedings
FERC and CFTC matters
Following an investigation by the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) of several bp entities, the Administrative Law Judge of the FERC ruled on 13 August 2015 that bp manipulated the market by selling next-day, fixed price natural gas at Houston Ship Channel in 2008 in order to suppress the Gas Daily index and benefit its financial position. On 11 July 2016 the FERC issued an Order affirming the initial decision and directing bp to pay a civil penalty of $20.16 million and to disgorge $207,169 in unjust profits. On 10 August 2016, bp filed a request for rehearing with the FERC. On 17 December 2020, the FERC denied the rehearing request, sustaining the prior decision and ordering payment of the penalty and disgorgement amounts. bp has complied with the order but strongly disagrees with the FERC’s decision and is pursuing an appeal to the US Court of Appeals.
Lead paint matters
Since 1987, Atlantic Richfield Company (Atlantic Richfield), a subsidiary« of bp, has been named as a co-defendant in numerous lawsuits brought in the US alleging injury to persons and property caused by lead pigment in paint. The majority of the lawsuits have been abandoned or dismissed against Atlantic Richfield. Atlantic Richfield is named in these lawsuits as alleged successor to International Smelting and Refining and another company that manufactured lead pigment during the period 1920-1946. The plaintiffs include individuals and governmental entities. Several of the lawsuits purport to be class actions. The lawsuits seek various remedies including compensation to lead-poisoned children, cost to find and remove lead paint from buildings, medical monitoring and screening programmes, public warning and education of lead hazards, reimbursement of government healthcare costs and special education for lead-poisoned citizens and punitive damages. No lawsuit against Atlantic Richfield has been settled nor has Atlantic Richfield been subject to a final adverse judgment in any proceeding. The amounts claimed and, if such suits were successful, the costs of implementing the remedies sought in the various cases could be substantial. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these legal actions, Atlantic Richfield believes that it has valid defences. It intends to defend such actions vigorously and believes that the incurrence of liability is remote. Consequently, bp believes that the impact of these lawsuits on the group’s results, financial position or liquidity will not be material.
Climate change
BP p.l.c., BP America Inc. and BP Products North America Inc. are co-defendants with other oil and gas companies in multiple lawsuits brought in various state and federal courts on behalf of various governmental and private parties. The lawsuits generally assert claims under a variety of legal theories seeking to hold the defendant companies responsible for impacts allegedly caused by and/or relating to climate change and seek remedies including payment of money and other forms of equitable relief. If such suits were successful, the cost of the remedies sought in the various cases could be substantial. All of these lawsuits remain at relatively early stages and while it is not possible to predict the outcome of these legal actions, BP believes that it has valid defences, and it intends to defend such actions vigorously.
Louisiana Coastal restoration 
Six coastal parishes and the State of Louisiana have filed over 40 separate lawsuits in state courts in Louisiana against various oil and gas companies seeking damages for coastal erosion. bp entities are defendants in 17 of these cases. The lawsuits allege that the defendants' historical operations in oil fields within the Louisiana onshore coastal zone failed to comply with state permits and/or were conducted without the required coastal use permits. The plaintiffs seek unspecified statutory penalties and damages, including the costs of restoring coastal wetlands allegedly impacted by oil field operations.
In addition, four private landowners have filed separate claims in the state courts in Jefferson and Plaquemines Parishes of Louisiana for restoration damages related to alleged impacts to their marshlands associated with historic oil field operations. bp entities are defendants in two of these private landowner cases.
All of these lawsuits remain at relatively early stages and while it is not possible to predict the outcome of these legal actions, bp believes that it has valid defences, and it intends to defend such actions vigorously.

With effect from 2018, following a competitive tender process, Deloitte LLP (Deloitte) was appointed as auditor of the Company, replacing Ernst & Young LLP (EY).
2020 includes $0.5 million of additional fees for 2019. 2019 includes $3.6 million of additional fees for 2018. In addition to the amounts shown in the table above, in 2018 $0.75 million of additional fees were paid to EY in respect of their audit for 2017. Auditor's remuneration is included in the income statement within distribution and administration expenses.
Tax services (in relation to income tax, indirect tax compliance, employee tax services and tax advisory services) were $nil in all periods presented.
The audit committee has established pre-approval policies and procedures for the engagement of Deloitte to render audit and certain assurance and other services. The audit fees payable to Deloitte were considered as part of the audit tender process in 2016 and challenged by the audit committee through comparison with the audit pricing proposals of the other bidding firms. Changes in audit fees subsequent to the audit tender, including matters relevant to the 2020 audit, have been reviewed and challenged by the Audit Committee, before being approved. Deloitte performed further assurance services that were not prohibited by regulatory or other professional requirements and were pre-approved by the Committee. Deloitte is engaged for these services when its expertise and experience of bp are important. Most of this work is of an audit-related or assurance nature.
Under SEC regulations, the remuneration of the auditor of $54 million (2019 $49 million and 2018 $42 million) is required to be presented as follows: audit $41 million (2019 $43 million and 2018 $35 million); other audit-related $11 million (2019 $4 million and 2018 $4 million); tax $nil (2019 $nil and 2018 $nil); and all other fees $2 million (2019 $2 million and 2018 $3 million).

38. Condensed consolidating information on certain US subsidiaries

On June 30, 2020, bp completed the sale of all its interest in BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc., to Hilcorp Energy, and BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. is therefore no longer a subsidiary of BP p.l.c. Accordingly, bp is no longer presenting condensed consolidating information on BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. as a subsidiary issuer of registered securities pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. BP p.l.c. will continue to fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment obligations under the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust. BP p.l.c. also fully and unconditionally guarantees securities issued by BP Capital Markets p.l.c. and BP Capital Markets America Inc., which are 100%-owned finance subsidiaries of BP p.l.c.

Supplementary information on oil and natural gas (unaudited)
The regional analysis presented below is on a continent basis, with separate disclosure for countries that contain 15% or more of the total proved reserves (for subsidiaries plus equity-accounted entities), in accordance with SEC and FASB requirements.
Oil and gas reserves – certain definitions
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the following terms have the meanings shown below:
Proved oil and gas reserves
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible – from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations – prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
(i)The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:
(A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any; and
(B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.
(ii)In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.
(iii)Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.
(iv)Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:
(A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favourable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed programme in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or programme was based; and
(B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.
(v)Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.
Undeveloped oil and gas reserves
Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.
(i)Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.
(ii)Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time.
(iii)Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.
Developed oil and gas reserves
Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered:
(i)Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and
(ii)Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.
For details on bp’s proved reserves and production compliance and governance processes, see pages 312-317.

Financial statements
Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows and changes therein relating to proved oil and gas reserves
The following tables set out the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, and changes therein, relating to crude oil and natural gas production from the group’s estimated proved reserves. This information is prepared in compliance with FASB Oil and Gas Disclosures requirements.
Future net cash flows have been prepared on the basis of certain assumptions which may or may not be realized. These include the timing of future production, the estimation of crude oil and natural gas reserves and the application of average crude oil and natural gas prices and exchange rates from the previous 12 months. Furthermore, both proved reserves estimates and production forecasts are subject to revision as further technical information becomes available and economic conditions change. bp cautions against relying on the information presented because of the highly arbitrary nature of the assumptions on which it is based and its lack of comparability with the historical cost information presented in the financial statements.

Productive oil and gas wells and acreage
The following tables show the number of gross and net productive oil and natural gas wells and total gross and net developed and undeveloped oil and natural gas acreage in which the group and its equity-accounted entities had interests as at 31 December 2020. A ‘gross’ well or acre is one in which a whole or fractional working interest is owned, while the number of ‘net’ wells or acres is the sum of the whole or fractional working interests in gross wells or acres. Productive wells are producing wells and wells capable of production. Developed acreage is the acreage within the boundary of a field, on which development wells have been drilled, which could produce the reserves; while undeveloped acres are those on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities, whether or not such acres contain proved reserves.

Net oil and gas wells completed or abandoned
The following table shows the number of net productive and dry exploratory and development oil and natural gas wells completed or abandoned in the years indicated by the group and its equity-accounted entities. Productive wells include wells in which hydrocarbons were encountered and the drilling or completion of which, in the case of exploratory wells, has been suspended pending further drilling or evaluation. A dry well is one found to be incapable of producing hydrocarbons in sufficient quantities to justify completion.

b 2020 impairment charges for Upstream include $156 million in relation to the likely disposal of an exploration asset. 2019 includes impairments charges principally resulting from the announcements to dispose of certain assets in the US and Egypt. 2018 includes an impairment reversal for assets in the North Sea and Angola.
c    Restructuring charges are classified as non-operating items where they relate to an announced major group restructuring. A major group restructuring is a restructuring programme affecting more than one of the group’s operating segments that is expected to result in charges of more than $1 billion over a defined period. 2020 includes recognized provisions for restructuring costs for plans that were formalized during the year. 2018 includes amounts related to the programme originally announced in 2014 that was completed in 2018.
d    2020 includes exploration write-offs of $1,974 million relating to fair value ascribed to certain licences as part of the accounting at the time of acquisition of upstream assets in Brazil, India and the Gulf of Mexico and the impairment of certain intangible assets in Mauritania and Senegal. 2018 includes exploration write-offs of $124 million in relation to the value ascribed to certain licences in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico as part of the accounting for the acquisition of upstream assets from Devon Energy in 2011.
e    2020 includes $545 million net impairments reported by equity-accounted entities.
f    2020 includes a gain of $2.3 billion on the sale of our petrochemicals business.
g    2019 includes $877 million relating to the reclassification of accumulated foreign exchange losses from reserves to the income statement upon the contribution of our Brazilian biofuels business to BP Bunge Bioenergia.
h    All periods primarily reflect charges due to the annual update of environmental provisions, including asbestos-related provisions for past operations, together with updates of non-Gulf of Mexico oil spill related legal provisions.
i    From 2020, BP is presenting temporary valuation differences associated with the group’s interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk management of finance debt as non-operating items. These amounts represent: (i) the impact of ineffectiveness and the amortisation of cross currency basis resulting from the application of fair value hedge accounting; and (ii) the net impact of foreign currency exchange movements on finance debt and associated derivatives where hedge accounting is not applied. Relevant amounts in the comparative periods presented were not material.
j    All periods presented include the unwinding of discounting effects relating to Gulf of Mexico oil spill payables. 2020 also includes the income statement impact associated with the buyback of finance debt. See Note 26 for further information.
k    In 2017 the US tax reform reduced the US federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective from 1 January 2018. 2018 reflects a further impact following a clarification of the tax reform. The impact of the US tax reform has been treated as a non-operating item because it is not considered to be part of underlying business operations, has a material impact upon the reported result and is substantially impacted by Gulf of Mexico oil spill charges, which are also treated as non-operating items. Separate disclosure is considered meaningful and relevant to investors.
l    From 2020, bp is presenting certain foreign exchange effects on tax as non-operating items. These amounts represent the impact of: (i) foreign exchange on deferred tax balances arising from the conversion of local currency tax base amounts into functional currency, and (ii) taxable gains and losses from the retranslation of US dollar-denominated intra-group loans to local currency. Relevant amounts in the comparative periods presented were not material.

Liquidity and capital resources
Financial framework
bp has a resilient financial framework that, taken together with our strategy, creates a compelling investor proposition offering committed distributions, profitable growth and sustainable value. The framework comprises a coherent approach to capital allocation, a resilient balance sheet, a disciplined approach to investment allocation and a relentless focus on executing bp’s business plan.
bp’s approach to capital allocation leads to a clear set of priorities – funding our resilient dividend as the first priority, deleveraging the balance sheet, investment in low carbon« and convenience and mobility to advance our energy transition strategy, investment in resilient hydrocarbons to generate sustainable cash flow, and then returning surplus cash« as share buybacks. In a period of low prices, the group has the flexibility to reduce cash costs and to reduce or defer capital investment, as appropriate.
Our shareholder distribution policy reflects these priorities for the uses of cash alongside an ongoing consideration of factors, including changes in the environment, the underlying performance of the business, the outlook for the group financial framework, and other market factors which may vary quarter to quarter.
Net debt« at 31 December 2020 was $38.9 billion and is expected to reduce in line with the receipt of divestment proceeds and the growth in operating cash flow« . bp is targeting $25 billion of proceeds by 2025 (from mid 2020), and at the end of 2020 bp had completed or agreed transactions for over half of this target.
We expect operating cash flow to cover capital expenditure« and the dividend, with capital expenditure initially in a range of $13-15 billion, before increasing to $14-16 billion once net debt reaches $35 billion. Capital expenditure is expected to be at the lower end of the initial range in 2021. Looking further out across 2021-25, bp's cash balancing point is expected to average around $40 per barrel (assuming an average refining marker margin of around $11 and Henry Hub gas price at $3) in 2020 real terms. Gulf of Mexico oil spill payments on a post-tax basis were just over $1.6 billion in 2020 and are expected to be around $1 billion in 2021.
In 2020, the return on average capital employed« was (3.8)%a at an average of $42 per barrel. The return on average capital employed is targeted to grow to 12-14% by 2025 at $50 to 60 per barrel in 2020 real terms, and assuming bp planning assumptions, as we continue to execute our strategy. This is supported by an expected 7-9% growth in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (compound annual growth rate) across the same period and subject to the same price and planning assumptions.
a Nearest equivalent GAAP measures: Numerator – Loss attributable to bp shareholders $(20.3); Denominator – Average capital employed $163.3 billion.
Dividends and other distributions to shareholders
The dividend is determined in US dollars, the economic currency of bp, and the dividend level is reviewed by the board each quarter. The quarterly dividend was reset to 5.25 cents per ordinary share per quarter as part of a wider distribution policy announced in August 2020, and is intended to remain fixed at this level.
The total dividend distributed to bp shareholders in 2020 was $6.4 billion (2019 $8.3 billion). This dividend was all paid in cash as shareholders no longer have the option to receive a scrip dividend in place of receiving cash.
Included in the distribution policy is a commitment that, once net debt reaches $35 billion and subject to maintaining a strong investment grade credit rating, at least 60% of surplus cash will be distributed to shareholders through share buybacks.
The share buyback programme to offset the dilutive impact of the legacy scrip dividend concluded in January 2020 and purchased 120 million ordinary shares in 2020 at a cost of $776 million (2019 $1.5 billion), including fees and stamp duty.
Financing the group’s activities
The group’s principal commodities, oil and gas, are priced internationally in US dollars. Group policy has generally been to minimize economic exposure to currency movements by financing operations with US dollar debt. Where debt and hybrid bonds are issued in other currencies, they are generally swapped back to US dollars using derivative contracts, or else hedged by maintaining offsetting cash positions in the same currency. Cash balances of the group are mainly held in US dollars or swapped to US dollars and holdings are well diversified to reduce concentration risk. The group is not, therefore, exposed to significant currency risk regarding its cash or borrowings. Also see Risk factors on page 67 for further information on risks associated with prices and markets and Financial statements – Note 29.
The group’s finance debt at 31 December 2020 amounted to $72.7 billion (2019 $67.7 billion). Of the total finance debt, $9.4 billion is classified as short term at the end of 2020 (2019 $10.5 billion). See Financial statements – Note 26 for more information on the short-term balance. Net debt« was $38.9 billion at the end of 2020, a decrease of $6.5 billion from the 2019 year-end position of $45.4 billion.
On 17 June 2020, a group subsidiary« issued perpetual subordinated hybrid bonds in EUR, GBP and USD for a US dollar equivalent amount of $11.9 billion. As the group has the unconditional right to avoid transferring cash or another financial asset in relation to these hybrid bonds, they are classified as equity instruments and reported within non-controlling interests.
The ratio of finance debt to finance debt plus total equity at 31 December 2020 was 45.9% (2019 40.2%). Gearing was 31.3% at the end of 2020 (2019 31.1%). See Financial statements – Note 27 for finance debt, which is the nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis, and for further information on net debt.
Cash and cash equivalents of $31.1 billion at 31 December 2020 (2019 $22.5 billion) are included in net debt. We manage our cash position so that the group has adequate cover to respond to potential short-term market liquidity, short term price environment volatility and expect to maintain a robust cash position.
The group also has an undrawn committed $8 billion credit facility and undrawn committed bank facilities of $4 billion (see Financial statements – Note 29 for more information).
We believe that the group has sufficient working capital for foreseeable requirements, taking into account the amounts of undrawn borrowing facilities and levels of cash and cash equivalents, and its ongoing ability to generate cash.
bp utilizes various arrangements in order to manage its working capital including discounting of receivables and, in the supply and trading business, the active management of supplier payment terms, inventory and collateral.
Standard & Poor’s Ratings’ long-term credit rating for BP p.l.c. is A- (negative outlook), the Moody’s Investors Service rating is A1 (negative outlook) and the Fitch Ratings’ long-term credit rating is A (stable).
The group’s sources of funding, its access to capital markets and maintaining a strong cash position are described in Financial statements – Note 25 and Note 29. Further information on the management of liquidity risk and credit risk, and the maturity profile and fixed/floating rate characteristics of the group’s debt are also provided in Financial statements– Note 26 and Note 29.

The information above contains forward-looking statements, which by their nature involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will or may occur in the future and are outside the control of bp. You are urged to read the Cautionary statement on page 329 and Risk factors on page 67, which describe the risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Oil and gas disclosures for the group
Analysis by region
Our oil and gas operations are set out below by geographical area, with associated significant events for 2020. bp’s percentage working interest in oil and gas assets is shown in brackets. Working interest is the cost-bearing ownership share of an oil or gas lease. Consequently, the percentages disclosed for certain agreements do not necessarily reflect the percentage interests in proved reserves, production or revenue. See page 320 for more information on Rosneft.
In addition to exploration, development and production activities, our Upstream business also includes certain midstream and liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply activities. Midstream activities involve the ownership and management of crude oil and natural gas pipelines, processing facilities and export terminals, LNG processing facilities and transportation, and our natural gas liquids (NGLs) processing business.
Our LNG activities are located in Abu Dhabi, Angola, Australia, Indonesia and Trinidad. In 2020 we marketed around 5.0 million tonnes of LNG production from these assets to IST which supplements equity production with merchant third party volumes to build a global trading portfolio. The LNG is marketed through contractual rights to access import terminal capacity in the liquid markets of Europe, UK and US, and relationships to market directly to end user customers or trading entities. LNG is supplied to all major LNG demand centres for example Argentina, Brazil, Caribbean, China, Croatia, Mediterranean and North West Europe, India, Israel, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and the UK.
Europe
bp is active in the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea. In 2020 bp’s production came from three key areas: the Shetland area comprising the Clair, Foinaven, and Schiehallion fields; the central area comprising the Andrew area, Culzean, ETAP and Shearwater fields; and Norway, through our equity accounted 30% interest in Aker BP.
On 29 March, bp confirmed completion of the restructuring of contractual arrangements for the Petrojari Foinaven floating production, storage and offloading vessel on the Foinaven field to the west of the Shetlands (bp 72% and operator).
During the year, impairment charges of $2,796 million were recognized in respect of certain North Sea assets, primarily as a result of changes to the group's long-term price assumptions.
In March 2020, EnQuest, the Thistle field operator, announced it no longer expected to re-start production at the Thistle field (bp 82%) . A Cessation of Production application was approved by the regulator in July, with an effective decommissioning date of 31 May 2020.
During the third quarter, bp was awarded eight operated and three non-operated blocks in the North Sea as part of the UK Oil & Gas Authority 32nd offshore licensing round.
On 6 October, bp confirmed that the planned divestment to Premier Oil of its interests in the Andrew area and Shearwater assets, both located in the UK North Sea, would not proceed following the announcement of a proposed merger between Chrysaor and Premier Oil. bp had announced this divestment in January 2020. The divestment was to cover the Andrew, Arundel, Cyrus, Farragon and Kinnoull fields plus bp's interest in Shearwater. Marketing of both assets continues.
On 26 November, bp announced that production had started at the Vorlich field (bp 66%), just two years after the project was sanctioned. Vorlich is the latest in a programme of fast-paced, high-return subsea tiebacks in the UK North Sea. bp and partner Ithaca Energy invested £230 million to develop the field, which was discovered in 2014 and received regulatory approval for development in 2018.
North America
Our upstream activities in North America are located in four areas: deepwater Gulf of Mexico, the Lower 48 states, Canada and Mexico. Our interests in Alaska were disposed of during the year, further details are provided below.
bp has around 260 lease blocks in the Gulf of Mexico and operates four production hubs.
On 25 August, bp confirmed it started production at Atlantis Phase 3 in the US Gulf of Mexico (bp 56% and operator).
Construction and installation at the Thunder Horse South Expansion Phase 2 project is underway and drilling set to commence in the first half of 2021. First oil from the project is expected in the third quarter of 2021.
bp was awarded 12 leases in the lease sale conducted in March and 10 leases in the sale held in November.
The Mad Dog 2 project execute timeline was impacted by both COVID-19 and delays to fabrication of the floating production unit. The unit has now set sail from Korea, and wells activity and subsea installation are once again progressing. First oil is now expected in the second quarter of 2022.
During the year, exploration write-offs of $2,643 million were recognized in relation to certain Gulf of Mexico assets, primarily due to management's re-assessment of expectations to extract value from certain exploration prospects as a result of a review of the group's long-term strategic plan and changes in the group's long-term price assumptions.
See also Financial Statements – Note 1 for further information on exploration leases.
bpx energy, bp's onshore oil and gas business in the Lower 48 states, has significant operated and non-operated activities across Louisiana, Texas and Wyoming producing natural gas, oil, NGLs and condensate, with primary focus on developing unconventional resources in Texas.

BP Pipelines (Alaska) Inc. (BPPA) owned a 49% interest in the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) prior to completion in the fourth quarter of 2020 of the divestment of its Midstream interests to Hilcorp Energy announced in 2019. As part of this transaction impairments of $1,002 million were recognized in 2020. bp retained the decommissioning liability relating to its interest in TAPS which will be partially offset by a 30% reimbursement of costs incurred from Hilcorp.
In Canada bp is focused on pursuing offshore exploration opportunities and its Sunrise Oil Sands operations. We have offshore exploration licences in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador and the Canadian Beaufort Sea. In addition to Sunrise Oil Sands we hold interests in two further oil sands lease areas through the Terre de Grace partnership and the Pike Oil Sands joint operation«. In-situ steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) technology is utilized in our existing oil sands operations, which uses the injection of steam into the reservoir to warm the bitumen so that it can flow to the surface through producing wells.

Oil and natural gas
Resource progression
bp manages its hydrocarbon resources in three major categories: prospect inventory, contingent resources and reserves. When a discovery is made, volumes usually transfer from the prospect inventory to the contingent resources category. The contingent resources move through various sub-categories as their technical and commercial maturity increases through appraisal activity.
At the point of final investment decision, most proved reserves will be categorized as proved undeveloped (PUD). Volumes will subsequently be recategorized from PUD to proved developed (PD) as a consequence of development activity. When part of a well’s proved reserves depends on a later phase of activity, only that portion of proved reserves associated with existing, available facilities and infrastructure moves to PD. The first PD bookings will typically occur at the point of first oil or gas production. Major development projects typically take one to five years from the time of initial booking of PUD to the start of production. Changes to proved reserves bookings may be made due to analysis of new or existing data concerning production, reservoir performance, commercial factors and additional reservoir development activity.
Volumes can also be added or removed from our portfolio through acquisition or divestment of properties and projects. When we dispose of an interest in a property or project, the volumes associated with our adopted plan of development for which we have a final investment decision will be removed from our proved reserves upon completion of the transaction. When we acquire an interest in a property or project, the volumes associated with the existing development and any committed projects will be added to our proved reserves if bp has made a final investment decision and they satisfy the SEC’s criteria for attribution of proved status. Following the acquisition, additional volumes may be progressed to proved reserves from non-proved reserves or contingent resources.
Non-proved reserves and contingent resources in a field will only be recategorized as proved reserves when all the criteria for attribution of proved status have been met and the volumes are included in the business plan and scheduled for development, typically within five years. bp will only book proved reserves where development is scheduled to commence after more than five years, if these proved reserves satisfy the SEC’s criteria for attribution of proved status and bp management has reasonable certainty that these proved reserves will be produced.
At the end of 2020 bp had material volumes of proved undeveloped reserves held for more than five years in Russia, Trinidad, Gulf of Mexico, Azerbaijan, Indonesia and the North Sea. These are part of ongoing infrastructure-led development activities for which bp has a historical track record of completing comparable projects in these countries. We have no proved undeveloped reserves held for more than five years in our onshore US developments.
In each case the volumes are being progressed as part of an adopted development plan where there are physical limits to the development timing such as infrastructure limitations, contractual limits including gas delivery commitments, late life compression and the complex nature of working in remote locations, or where there are significant commitments on delivery to the relevant authority.
Over the past five years, bp has annually progressed a weighted average 17% (19% for 2019 five-year average) of our group proved undeveloped reserves (including the impact of disposals and price acceleration effects in PSAs) to proved developed reserves. This equates to a turnover time of six years.
Proved reserves as estimated at the end of 2020 meet bp’s criteria for project sanctioning and SEC tests for proved reserves. We have not halted or changed our commitment to proceed with any material project to which proved undeveloped reserves have been attributed.
In 2020 we progressed 897 mmboe of proved undeveloped reserves (512 mmboe for our subsidiaries« alone) to proved developed reserves through ongoing investment in our subsidiaries’ and equity-accounted entities’ upstream development activities. Total development expenditure, excluding midstream activities, was $11,041 million in 2020 ($7,650 million for subsidiaries and $3,391 million for equity-accounted
entities). The major areas with progressed volumes in 2020 were Russia, US, Egypt and Oman. Revisions of previous estimates for proved undeveloped reserves are due to changes relating to field performance, well results or changes in commercial conditions including price impacts. The following tables describe the changes to our proved undeveloped reserves position through the year for our subsidiaries and equity-accounted entities and for our subsidiaries alone.

bp bases its proved reserves estimates on the requirement of reasonable certainty with rigorous technical and commercial assessments based on conventional industry practice and regulatory requirements. bp only applies technologies that have been field tested and have been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation. bp applies high-resolution seismic data for the identification of reservoir extent and fluid contacts only where there is an overwhelming track record of success in its local application. In certain cases bp uses numerical simulation as part of a holistic assessment of recovery factor for its fields, where these simulations have been field tested and have been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation. In certain deepwater fields bp has booked proved reserves before production flow tests are conducted, in part because of the significant safety, cost and environmental implications of conducting these tests. The industry has made substantial technological improvements in understanding, measuring and delineating reservoir properties without the need for flow tests. To determine reasonable certainty of commercial recovery, bp employs a general method of reserves assessment that relies on the integration of three types of data:
well data used to assess the local characteristics and conditions of reservoirs and fluids
field scale seismic data to allow the interpolation and extrapolation of these characteristics outside the immediate area of the local well control
data from relevant analogous fields.
Well data includes appraisal wells or sidetrack holes, full logging suites, core data and fluid samples. bp considers the integration of this data in certain cases to be superior to a flow test in providing understanding of overall reservoir performance. The collection of data from logs, cores, wireline formation testers, pressures and fluid samples calibrated to each other and to the seismic data can allow reservoir properties to be

determined over a greater volume than the localized volume of investigation associated with a short-term flow test. There is a strong track record of proved reserves recorded using these methods, validated by actual production levels.
Governance
bp’s centrally controlled process for proved reserves estimation approval forms part of a holistic and integrated system of internal control. It consists of the following elements:
Accountabilities of certain officers of the group to ensure that there is review and approval of proved reserves bookings independent of the operating business and that there are effective controls in the approval process and verification that the proved reserves estimates and the related financial impacts are reported in a timely manner.
Capital allocation processes, whereby delegated authority is exercised to commit to capital projects that are consistent with the delivery of the group’s business plan. A formal review process exists to ensure that both technical and commercial criteria are met prior to the commitment of capital to projects.
Group audit, whose role is to consider whether the group’s system of internal control is adequately designed and operating effectively to respond appropriately to the risks that are significant to bp.
Approval hierarchy, whereby proved reserves changes above certain threshold volumes require immediate review and all proved reserves require annual central authorization and have scheduled periodic reviews. The frequency of periodic review ensures that 100% of the bp proved reserves base undergoes central review every three years.
bp’s vice president of segment reserves is the individual primarily responsible for overseeing the preparation of the reserves estimate. He has more than 27 years of diversified industry experience in reserves estimation with the past 2 years managing the governance and compliance. He is a past Chairman of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (Russia & Caspian) and a member of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Expert Group on Resource Management.
No specific portion of compensation bonuses for senior management is directly related to proved reserves targets. Additions to proved reserves is one of several indicators by which the performance of the Upstream segment is assessed by the remuneration committee for the purposes of determining compensation bonuses for the executive directors. Other indicators include a number of financial and operational measures.
bp’s variable pay programme for the other senior managers in the Upstream segment is based on individual performance contracts. Individual performance contracts are based on agreed items from the business performance plan, one of which, if chosen, could relate to proved reserves.
Compliance
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) do not provide specific guidance on reserves disclosures. bp estimates proved reserves in accordance with SEC Rule 4-10 (a) of Regulation S-X and relevant Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (C&DI) and Staff Accounting Bulletins as issued by the SEC staff.
By their nature, there is always risk involved in the ultimate development and production of proved reserves including, but not limited to: final regulatory approval; the installation of new or additional infrastructure, as well as changes in oil and gas prices; changes in operating and development costs; and the continued availability of additional development capital. All the group’s proved reserves held in subsidiaries and equity-accounted entities are estimated by the group’s petroleum engineers or by independent petroleum engineering consulting firms and then assured by the group’s petroleum engineers.
DeGolyer & MacNaughton (D&M), an independent petroleum engineering consulting firm, has estimated the net proved crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas reserves, as of 31 December 2020, of certain properties owned by Rosneft as part of our equity-accounted proved reserves. The properties evaluated by D&M account for 100% of Rosneft’s net proved reserves as of 31 December 2020. The net proved reserves estimates prepared by D&M were prepared in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rule 4-10(a)(1)-(32) of
Regulation S-X. All reserves estimates involve some degree of uncertainty. bp has filed D&M’s independent report on its reserves estimates as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC.
Netherland, Sewell & Associates (NSAI), an independent petroleum engineering consulting firm, has estimated the net proved crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas reserves, as of 31 December 2020, of certain properties owned by bp in the US Lower 48. The properties evaluated by NSAI account for 100% of bp’s net proved reserves in the US Lower 48 as of 31 December 2020. The net proved reserves estimates prepared by NSAI were prepared in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rule 4-10(a)(1)-(32) of Regulation S-X. All reserves estimates involve some degree of uncertainty. bp has filed NSAI’s independent report on its reserves estimates as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC.
Our proved reserves are associated with both concessions (tax and royalty arrangements) and agreements where the group is exposed to the upstream risks and rewards of ownership, but where our entitlement to the hydrocarbons is calculated using a more complex formula, such as with PSAs. In a concession, the consortium of which we are a part is entitled to the proved reserves that can be produced over the licence period, which may be the life of the field. In a PSA, we are entitled to recover volumes that equate to costs incurred to develop and produce the proved reserves and an agreed share of the remaining volumes or the economic equivalent. As part of our entitlement is driven by the monetary amount of costs to be recovered, price fluctuations will have an impact on both production volumes and reserves.
We disclose our share of proved reserves held in equity-accounted entities (joint ventures« and associates«), although we do not control these entities or the assets held by such entities.
bp’s estimated net proved reserves and proved reserves replacement
92% of our total proved reserves of subsidiaries at 31 December 2020 were held through joint operations« (91% in 2019), and 31% of the proved reserves were held through such joint operations where we were not the operator (28% in 2019).

Proved reserves replacement
Total hydrocarbon proved reserves at 31 December 2020, on an oil equivalent basis including equity-accounted entities, decreased by 7% compared with 31 December 2019. Natural gas represented about 41% (47% for subsidiaries and 36% for equity-accounted entities) of these reserves. The change includes a net decrease from acquisitions and disposals of 1,069mmboe (decrease of 1,072mmboe within our subsidiaries and increase of 3mmboe within our equity-accounted entities). Acquisition and divestment activity occurred in our equity-accounted entities in Russia, and divestment activity in our subsidiaries in the US including Alaska.
The proved reserves replacement ratio« is the extent to which production is replaced by proved reserves additions. This ratio is expressed in oil equivalent terms and includes changes resulting from revisions to previous estimates, improved recovery, and extensions and discoveries. For 2020, the proved reserves replacement ratio excluding acquisitions and disposals was 78% (67% in 2019 and 100% in 2018) for subsidiaries and equity-accounted entities, 47% for subsidiaries alone and 127% for equity-accounted entities alone. There was a net decrease (373mmboe) of reserves due to lower gas and oil prices within the US, North Sea and Angola partly offset by increases related to price in some of our PSAs in Iraq and Azerbaijan.
In 2020 net additions to the group’s proved reserves (excluding production and sales and purchases of reserves-in-place) amounted to 1,006mmboe (380mmboe for subsidiaries and 626mmboe for equity-accounted entities), through revisions to previous estimates including price, improved recovery from, and extensions to, existing fields and discoveries of new fields. The subsidiary additions were through improved recovery from, and extensions to, existing fields and discoveries of new fields where they represented a mixture of proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves. Volumes added in 2020 principally resulted from the application of conventional technologies and extensions of field size by development drilling. The principal proved reserves additions in our subsidiaries by region were in the US, Oman, Azerbaijan and Angola. The principal reserves additions in our equity-accounted entities were in Rosneft and Pan American Energy Group.
16% of our proved reserves are associated with PSAs. The countries in which we produced under PSAs in 2020 were Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Egypt, India, Indonesia and Oman. In addition, the technical service contract (TSC) governing our investment in the Rumaila field in Iraq functions as a PSA.
The group holds no licences due to expire within the next three years that would have a significant impact on bp’s reserves or production. bp holds reserves classified as Assets held for sale in Oman.

Additional information for Rosneft
About Rosneft
Rosneft is the largest oil company in Russia, with a strong portfolio of current and future opportunities. Russia has one of the largest and lowest-cost hydrocarbon resource bases in the world and its resources play an important role in long-term energy supply to the global economy.
Rosneft is one of the largest publicly traded oil companies in the world based on hydrocarbon production volume. And it has a major resource base of hydrocarbons onshore and offshore, with assets in all of Russia’s key hydrocarbon regions and abroad. bp's share of Rosneft hydrocarbon production in 2020 was 1,098mboe/d, compared with 1,144mboe/d in 2019.
Rosneft is a member of the Methane Guiding Principles initiative that aims to reduce methane emissions along the natural gas value chain. It reaffirmed its commitment to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and the core principles of the UN Global Compact.
Rosneft is the leading Russian refining company based on throughput. It owns and operates 13 refineries in Russia and holds stakes in three refineries in Germany, one in India and one in Belarus. Rosneft refinery throughput in 2020 was 2,103mb/d, compared with 2,236mb/d in 2019.
Downstream operations include jet fuel, bunkering, bitumen and lubricants. Rosneft also owns and operates over 3,055 retail service stations in Russia and abroad. These includes Rosneft-branded sites, as well as bp-branded sites operating under a licensing agreement.
Rosneft’s largest shareholder is Rosneftegaz JSC (Rosneftegaz), which is wholly owned by the Russian government. At 31 December 2020, Rosneftegaz held 40.4% (2019: 50% plus one share) of the voting share capital of Rosneft.
2020 summary
bp remains committed to our strategic investment in Rosneft, while complying with all relevant sanctions.
bp’s two nominees, Bernard Looney and Bob Dudley, were elected to Rosneft’s board at Rosneft's annual general meeting (AGM) in June. Bob Dudley is a chairman of the Rosneft board’s Strategy and Sustainable Development Committee. At the AGM, shareholders also approved a resolution to pay a dividend. bp received a payment of $480 million, after the deduction of withholding tax, in July.
On 30 April, Rosneft completed a transaction to transfer all of its interest and cease participation in its Venezuelan businesses to a company owned by the government of the Russian Federation. In consideration, it received shares equal to a 9.6% share of its own equity. The shares are held by a 100% subsidiary of Rosneft and accounted for as treasury shares. Rosneft also has an approved programme of share buybacks under which shares are being repurchased. Those shares are also accounted for as treasury shares.
bp retains 19.75% of the voting rights at meetings of Rosneft shareholders and continues to be entitled to dividends based on that shareholding. bp’s economic interest as of 31 December 2020, however, has increased to 22.03% as a result of its indirect interest in the shares held by the subsidiaries of Rosneft. bp’s share of profit or loss of Rosneft reflects its economic interest.
On 14 December 2020, Rosneft announced the sale of a 49% stake in Krasgeonats to Equinor for approximately $550 million. Krasgeonats owns 12 licences for exploration and production in Eastern Siberia, including the recently launched North-Danilovskoye field.
On 28 December, Rosneft announced completion of the acquisition of 100% stakes in JSC Taimyrneftegaz and LLC Taimyrburservis, and the sale of a 10% interest in LLC Vostok Oil to Trafigura for Euro 7 billion.
In December, Rosneft announced that it has developed a 2035 Carbon Management Plan, a long-term framework for its development in the context of transitioning to a low carbon economy, including management of climate risks and identification of opportunities related to future energy demand.
2020 marked the 10th anniversary of Rosneft’s participation in UN Global Compact, the world’s largest sustainability initiative. In 2020, Rosneft
presented its public statement regarding human rights and the Declaration on Human Rights for interacting with suppliers of goods, works and services.
In February 2021,Rosneft and bp signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement focused on supporting carbon management and sustainability activities of both companies.
The agreement builds on bp’s longstanding strategic partnership with Rosneft and will explore opportunities for new investment and collaboration in Russia across several key focus areas:
Developing industry methodologies and standards on carbon management, including methane reduction initiatives and energy efficiency applications.
Evaluating new projects in renewables, carbon capture and hydrogen.
Assessing opportunities in the downstream including advanced fuels, natural forest sinks and carbon offset credits.
Sustainable development and social investment, including biodiversity.

Operating and capital expenditure on the prevention, control, treatment or elimination of air and water emissions and solid waste is often not incurred as a separately identifiable transaction. Instead, it forms part of a larger transaction that includes, for example, normal operations and maintenance expenditure. The figures for environmental operating and capital expenditure in the table are therefore estimates, based on the definitions and guidelines of the American Petroleum Institute.
Environmental operating expenditure of $531 million in 2020 (2019 $511 million) showed an overall increase of 4%, with increases in BP Products and Shipping expenditure largely balanced out by a reduction in expenditure for BPX Energy.
Environmental capital expenditure of $241 million in 2020 was significantly down (2019 $468 million) largely due to decreased expenditure in the BPX Energy and BP Products North America business.
Clean-up costs were $29 million in 2020 (2019 $23 million) representing oil spill clean-up costs and other associated remediation and disposal costs. The increase compared to 2019 results largely from increased expenditure in three businesses, namely BP Pipelines (North America), Alaska and Remediation Management.
In addition to operating and capital expenditure, we also establish provisions for future environmental remediation work. Expenditure against such provisions normally occurs in subsequent periods and is not included in environmental operating expenditure reported for such periods.
Provisions for environmental remediation are made when a clean-up is probable and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Generally, this coincides with the commitment to a formal plan of action or, if earlier, on divestment or on closure of inactive sites.
The extent and cost of future environmental restoration, remediation and abatement programmes are inherently difficult to estimate. They often depend on the extent of contamination, and the associated impact and timing of the corrective actions required, technological feasibility and bp’s share of liability. Though the costs of future programmes could be significant and may be material to the results of operations in the period in which they are recognized, it is not expected that such costs will be material to the group’s overall results of operations or financial position.
Additions to our environmental remediation provision was similar to prior years and also reflects scope reassessments of the remediation plans of a number of our sites in the US. The charge for environmental remediation provisions in 2020 included $8 million in respect of provisions for new sites (2019 $9 million and 2018 $8 million).
In addition, we make provisions on installation of our oil and gas producing assets and related pipelines to meet the cost of eventual decommissioning. On installation of an oil or natural gas production facility, a provision is established that represents the discounted value of the expected future cost of decommissioning the asset.
In 2020, the net decrease in the decommissioning provision was due to a change in the discount rate and a change in cost estimate assumptions.
We undertake periodic reviews of existing provisions. These reviews take account of revised cost assumptions, changes in decommissioning requirements and any technological developments.
Provisions for environmental remediation and decommissioning are usually established on a discounted basis, as required by IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’.
Further details of decommissioning and environmental provisions appear in Financial statements – Note 23.
Regulation of the group’s business
Our businesses and operations are subject to the laws and regulations applicable in each country, state or other regional or local area in which they occur. These cover virtually all aspects of bp’s activities and include matters such as licence acquisition, production rates, royalties, environmental, health and safety protection, fuel specifications and transportation, trading, pricing, anti-trust, export, taxes, and foreign exchange.
Oil and gas contractual and regulatory framework
The terms and conditions of the leases, licences and contracts under which our upstream oil and gas interests are held vary from country to country. These leases, licences and contracts are generally granted by or entered into with a government entity or state-owned or controlled company and are sometimes entered into with private property owners. Arrangements with governmental or state entities usually take the form of licences or production-sharing agreements« (PSAs), although arrangements with private entities and the US government entities are usually by lease.
Licences (or concessions) give the holder the right to explore for, develop and produce a commercial discovery. Under a licence, the holder bears the risk of exploration, development and production activities and provides the financing for these operations. In principle, the licence holder is entitled to all production, minus any royalties that are payable in kind. A licence holder is generally required to pay production taxes or royalties, which may be in cash or in kind.
In certain countries, separate licences are required for exploration and production activities, and in some cases production licences are limited to only a portion of the area covered by the original exploration licence.
PSAs entered into with a government entity or state-owned or controlled company generally require bp (alone or with other contracting companies) to provide all the financing and bear the risk of exploration and production activities in exchange for a share of the production remaining after royalties, if any. Less typically, bp may explore for, develop and produce hydrocarbons under a service agreement with the host entity in exchange for reimbursement of costs and/or a fee paid in cash rather than production.
bp frequently conducts its exploration and production activities in joint arrangements« or co-ownership arrangements with other international oil companies, state-owned or controlled companies and/or private companies. Conventionally, all costs, benefits, rights, obligations, liabilities and risks incurred in carrying out joint arrangement or co-ownership operations under a lease, licence or PSA are shared among the joint arrangement or co-owning parties according to agreed ownership interests among them. To the extent that any liabilities arise, whether to governments or third parties, or as between the joint arrangement parties or co-owners themselves, each joint arrangement party or co-owner will generally be liable to meet these in proportion to its ownership interest. In many upstream operations, a party (known as the operator) will be appointed (pursuant to a joint operating agreement) to carry out day to-day operations on behalf of the joint arrangement or co-ownership. The operator is typically one of the joint arrangement parties or a co-owner and will carry out its duties either through its own staff, or by contracting out various elements to third-party contractors or service providers. bp acts as operator on behalf of joint arrangements and co-ownerships in a number of countries.
Frequently, work (including drilling and related activities) will be contracted out to third-party service providers. The relevant contract will specify the work, the remuneration, and typically the risk allocation between the parties. Depending on the service to be provided, the contract may also contain provisions allocating risks and liabilities associated with pollution and environmental damage, damage to a well or hydrocarbon reservoirs and for claims from third parties or other losses. The allocation of those risks vary among contracts and are determined through negotiation between the parties.

In general, bp incurs income tax on income generated from production activities (whether under a licence or PSA). In addition, depending on the area, bp’s production activities may be subject to a range of other taxes, levies and assessments, including special petroleum taxes and revenue taxes. The taxes imposed on oil and gas production profits and activities may be substantially higher than those imposed on other activities, for example in Abu Dhabi, Angola, Egypt, Norway, the UK, the US, Russia and Trinidad & Tobago.
Sustainable finance
On 12 July 2020, elements of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment (Taxonomy Regulation) entered into force and form part of UK law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act of 2018. The Taxonomy Regulation establishes a classification system for determining whether an economic activity is environmentally sustainable for the purposes of guiding investors in financial products which are marketed as promoting environmental objectives. Although the UK government has expressed its intention to retain the overall taxonomy framework and objectives as set forth in the Taxonomy Regulation, it is not yet clear to what extent UK law will align with elements of the Taxonomy Regulation which were not in effect as of the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020. bp may in the future be required to comply with the Taxonomy Regulation or any parallel or similar legislation which may come into force in the UK.
Greenhouse gas regulation
In December 2015, nearly 200 nations at the United Nations climate change conference in Paris (COP21) agreed the Paris Agreement which aims to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Signatories aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as soon as possible and to undertake rapid reductions thereafter, so as to achieve a balance between human caused emissions and removals by sinks of GHGs in the second half of this century. The Paris Agreement commits all signatories to submit Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) (i.e. pledges or plans of climate action) and pursue domestic measures aimed at achieving the objectives of their NDCs. Signatories are required to submit revised NDCs every five years, and the revised NDC’s are expected to be more ambitious with each revision. Global assessments of progress will occur every five years, starting in 2023.
Agreement of rules which could enable international carbon trading to assist in meeting NDCs, has been deferred to COP26 which is expected to take place in Glasgow, Scotland in November 2021. More stringent national and regional measures relating to the transition to a lower carbon economy, such as the UK's 2050 net zero carbon emissions commitment, can be expected in the future. These measures could increase bp’s production costs for certain products, increase compliance and litigation costs, increase demand for competing energy alternatives or products with lower-carbon intensity, and affect the sales and specifications of many of bp’s products. Further, such measures could lead to constraints on production and supply and access to new reserves, particularly due to the long term nature of many of bp’s projects. Certain current and announced GHG measures and developments potentially affecting bp’s businesses in various markets in which bp operates are summarized below. For information on steps that bp is taking in relation to climate change issues and for details of bp’s GHG reporting, see Sustainability – Net zero aims on page 49.
United States
In the US, bp's operations are affected by GHG regulation in a number of ways. The federal Clean Air Act (CAA), for example, regulates air emissions, permitting, fuel specifications and other aspects of our production, refining, distribution and marketing activities.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations aimed at limiting methane emissions from new and modified sources in the oil and natural gas sector in the US by 40-45% from 2012 levels by 2025 were the subject of an August 2020, EPA final ‘policy rule’ intended to significantly revise that regulation. This rule is the subject of litigation in the D.C.
Circuit. In addition, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in 2018 issued a new waste prevention rule which rescinded the prior 2017 rule regarding methane regulation on federal lands. While litigation around both rules is expected to continue, the Biden administration has taken executive action with respect to Federal regulations promulgated during the Trump administration relating to climate change, including a review of both of these rules. Other EPA GHG regulations which may affect electricity generation practices and prices and have an impact on the market for fuels used to generate electricity and on renewable energy installations are in flux due to changes in approach between presidential administrations, as well as lawsuits challenging proposed regulations. In 2019, the EPA issued the final Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule, which is intended to address GHG emissions from certain existing sources in the electricity sector, and which is intended to replace the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan (CPP). A number of lawsuits have been filed regarding the legality of the ACE Rule and the repeal of the CPP regulations, and on 19 January 2021, the DC Circuit struck down the ACE rule in its entirety. The Biden administration may develop new regulations that more closely mirror the CPP.
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 impose the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), requiring transportation fuel sold in the United States to contain a minimum volume of renewable fuels. Certain state initiatives impose lower GHG emissions thresholds for transportation fuels (e.g., in California and Oregon). In 2020, EPA changed its approach to Small Refinery Exemptions based on court activity. EPA is behind schedule in setting RFS requirements for 2021 and we expect the administration to begin the process of setting 2023 and beyond volumes in 2021 as well.
The GHG mandatory reporting rule, requires operators of certain facilities and producers and importers/exporters of petroleum products to file annual GHG emissions reports with the EPA quantifying direct emissions from affected facilities, as well as volumes of petroleum products, certain natural gas liquids and GHG products and notional GHG emissions as if these products were fully combusted.
A number of states, municipalities and regional organizations have responded to current and proposed federal changes easing environmental regulation with separate initiatives that affect our US operations. For example, the California cap and trade programme started in January 2012 and expanded to cover emissions from transportation fuels in 2015. The State of Washington has adopted a carbon cap rule although the state’s Supreme Court has modified the rule to exclude coverage of sales and distribution of petroleum fuels. We expect a number of states to advance economy-wide and transport/fuels specific regulations in 2021.
Our US businesses are subject to increased GHG and other environmental requirements and regulatory uncertainty, including that the Biden or any future US administrations could revise or revoke current or prior administration programs, as well as increased expenditures in having to comply with numerous diverse and non-uniform regulatory initiatives at the state and local level.
US fuel markets are affected by EPA regulation of light, medium and heavy duty vehicle emissions (both fuel economy and tailpipe standards) as well as for non-road engines and vehicles and certain large GHG stationary emission sources. California also imposes Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) and Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) standards on vehicle manufacturers and a number of other states, as allowed by CAA authority, have adopted standards identical to California’s standards. These regulations may impact bp’s product mix and demand for particular products in those states. In August 2020, California also entered into agreements with several carmakers to meet more demanding emissions standards in California.
In 2019 the Trump administration issued the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles rule rolling back the Obama administration’s fuel economy and tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions standards for passenger cars and light trucks covering model years (MY) 2021 through 2026 by locking in the 2020 standards until 2026. It has also proposed eliminating the waiver allowing California to set its own LEV and ZEV standards and for other states to adopt those standards. Litigation challenging these regulations is ongoing although the Biden
322
bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020

Additional disclosures
administration is expected to restore the California waiver and commence rulemaking to reinstate the stricter fuel economy and tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions standards.
In January 2020, EPA solicited on a proposed rulemaking known as the Cleaner Trucks Initiative. The rule would, among other things, establish new emission standards for oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and other pollutants for highway heavy-duty engines and the Biden administration is expected to modify and continue this proposed rulemaking. California has also adopted a “Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus Regulation” which will require manufacturers to comply with stricter emissions standards. The rule is being phased in, with the first phase effective in 2024. bp continues to monitor these rules for implications for fuels.
European Union
The EU and its member states have adopted various measures seeking to reduce GHG emissions and encourage renewables. A set of regulatory measures adopted by the EU include: a collective national reduction target for emissions not covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) Directive; binding national renewable energy targets (including targets in the transport sector) under the Renewable Energy Directive; and a legal framework to promote carbon capture and storage.
In 2014, EU leaders adopted a climate and energy framework setting targets for the year 2030 including at least 40% reductions in GHG emissions from 1990 levels and in December 2020 the Council agreed an increase to a 55% reductions target from 1990 levels which is pending before the European Parliament.
In December 2019, the European Commission proposed an ambitious ‘European Green Deal’. These proposals, which require formal approval by EU Member States to be adopted and include climate neutrality and increased GHG reduction targets, tightening of the emissions caps in the EU ETS, extending the EU ETS to include the maritime sector and reducing allowances allocated to airlines, implement a carbon border tax adjustment and harmonise energy taxation across the EU Member States.
In October 2020 the European Commission presented an EU strategy to reduce methane emissions. The strategy sets out measures to cut methane emissions in Europe and internationally. It presents legislative and non-legislative actions in the energy, agriculture and waste sectors, which account for around 95% of methane emissions associated with human activity worldwide.
European regulations also establish passenger car performance standards for CO2 tailpipe emissions (European Regulation (EC) No 443/2009). By 2021, the European passenger fleet emissions target for new vehicles will be 95 grams of CO2 per kilometre. This target will be achieved by manufacturing fuel efficient vehicles and vehicles using alternative, low carbon fuels such as hydrogen and electricity.
In 2019, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Regulation (EU) 2019/631 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles (vans) in the EU for the period after 2020. From a 2021 baseline, it requires EU fleet-wide reductions of 15% by 2025 and 37.5% by 2030 for passenger cars, and 15% by 2025 and 31% by 2030 for new light commercial vehicles.
The EU Fuel Quality Directive affects our production and marketing of transport fuels including mandating reductions in the life cycle GHG emissions per unit of energy and tighter environmental fuel quality standards for petrol and diesel.
Germany is expected to launch a national emissions trading system in 2021 for transport and heating fuels. Impacted fuel suppliers in Germany will pay a fixed price for emissions certificates of EUR 25 per tonne CO2 in 2021 rising to EUR 55 per tonne by 2025. In 2026, emissions certificates will be auctioned but with prices limited between EUR 55 and EUR 65 per tonne CO2 emitted. A review of the system is expected to take place in 2025 to determine the position beyond 2026.
Other
In December 2020 the UK Government announced a targeted reduction in the UK’s GHG emissions of at least 68% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. The UK also announced an emissions trading system from 1
January 2021 onwards which would include the same installations in the UK that were previously subject to the EU ETS.
China is operating emission trading pilot programmes in five cities and three provinces. One of bp's subsidiaries« and one of bp’s joint venture« companies in China are participating in these schemes. China launched its national emissions trading market (National ETS), initially covering the power sector only, politically in 2017. On 31 December 2020, China promulgated the national regulation on National ETS which became effective on 1 February 2021, when the National ETS was officially launched.
China has also adopted more stringent vehicle tailpipe emission standards and vehicle efficiency standards to address air pollution and GHG emissions. These standards will have an impact on transportation fuel product mix and overall demand. In addition, China has also introduced a mandate for sales of new energy vehicles (NEVs) commencing in 2020. This has been accelerating NEV penetration into the light vehicle sector and impact light fuel demand.
Other environmental regulation
In addition to GHG regulations including current and proposed fuel and product specifications and emission controls (including control of vehicle emissions) referred to above, climate change programmes and regulation of unconventional oil and gas extraction under a number of environmental laws may have a significant effect on the production, sale and profitability of many of bp’s products.
Environmental laws also require bp to remediate and restore areas affected by the release of hazardous substances or hydrocarbons associated with our operations or properties. These laws may apply to sites that bp currently owns or operates, sites that it previously owned or operated, or sites used for the disposal of its and other parties’ waste. See Financial Statements – Note 23 for information on provisions for environmental restoration and remediation.
A number of pending or anticipated governmental proceedings against certain bp group companies under environmental laws could result in monetary or other sanctions. Group companies are also subject to environmental claims for personal injury and property damage alleging the release of, or exposure to, hazardous substances. The costs associated with future environmental remediation obligations, governmental proceedings and claims could be significant and may be material to the results of operations in the period in which they are recognized. We cannot accurately predict the effects of future developments, such as stricter environmental laws and regulations or enforcement policies, or future events at our facilities, on the group, and there can be no assurance that material liabilities and costs will not be incurred in the future. For a discussion of the group’s environmental expenditure, see page 321 and for a discussion of legal proceedings, see page 226.
Significant legislation and regulation in the US and the EU affecting our businesses and profitability, in addition to those referred to above, include the following:
United States
The Clean Water Act regulates wastewater and other effluent discharges from bp’s facilities, and bp is required to obtain discharge permits, install control equipment and implement operational controls and preventative measures.
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act regulates the generation, storage, transportation and disposal of wastes associated with our operations and can require corrective action at locations where such wastes have been disposed of or released. bp has incurred, or is likely to incur, liability under RCRA or similar state laws in connection with sites bp operates or previously operated.
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) can, in certain circumstances, impose the entire cost of investigation and remediation on a party who owned or operated a site contaminated with a hazardous substance, or who arranged for disposal of a hazardous substance at a site. bp has incurred, or is likely to incur, liability under CERCLA or similar state laws, including costs attributed to insolvent or unidentified parties. bp is also subject to claims for remediation costs and natural resource damages under CERCLA and other federal and state laws.

The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act requires reporting on the storage, use and releases of certain quantities of listed hazardous substances to designated government agencies.
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulates bp’s manufacture, import, export, sale and use of chemical substances and products. In addition, EPA has revised processes and procedures for prioritisation of existing chemicals for risk evaluation, assessment and management. Agency actions and announcements are monitored regularly to identify developments with potential impacts on chemical substances important to bp products and operations. Thus far, bp has identified two substances for specific ongoing monitoring of developments and impacts.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act imposes workplace safety and health requirements on bp operations along with significant process safety management obligations, requiring continuous evaluation and improvement of operational practices to enhance safety and reduce workplace emissions at gas processing, refining and other regulated facilities.
The Oil Pollution Act 1990 (OPA) imposes operational requirements, liability standards and other obligations governing the transportation of petroleum products in US waters. States may impose additional obligations. Alaska and the West Coast states currently have the most demanding state requirements.
The Outer Continental Shelf Land Act, the Mineral Leasing Act and other statutes give the Department of Interior (DOI) and the BLM authority to regulate operations and air emissions, including equipment and testing, on offshore and onshore operations on federal lands subject to DOI authority.
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Marine Mammal Protection Act protect certain species’ habitats from adverse human impacts by restricting operations or development at certain times and in certain places. In 2020, the US Fish and Wildlife Service published two proposed rules impacting designations under ESA, but on 20 January 2021 the Biden administration announced a review of these proposed rules reducing the scope of habitat protections.
European Union
The Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) 2010 provides the framework for granting permits for major industrial sites. It lays down rules on integrated prevention and control of air, water and soil pollution arising from industrial activities. As part of the IED framework, additional emission limit values are informed by sector specific and cross-sector Best Available Technology (BAT) Conclusions. These include the BAT Conclusions for the refining sector, for large combustion plants as well as common wastewater and waste gas treatment and management systems in the chemical sector. These may require bp to further reduce its emissions, particularly its air and water emissions.
The EU Regulation on substances that deplete the ozone layer 2009 (ODS Regulation) requires companies to reduce the use of ozone depleting substances (ODSs) and phase out use of certain ODSs. bp continues to replace ODSs in refrigerants and/or equipment in the EU and elsewhere, in accordance with the Montreal Protocol and related legislation.
The Medium Combustion Plants Directive 2015 (MCPD) regulates sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulates emissions and monitoring of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from certain mid-size plants. It applies to new plants and by 2025 or 2030 to existing plants, depending on their size.
The National Emission Ceilings Directive 2016 (NECD) introduces stricter emissions limits from 2020 and 2030, with new indicative national targets applying from 2025. NECD has been implemented in the UK by the National Emission Ceilings Regulations 2018. Each EU Member State was also required to produce a National Air Pollution Control Programme setting out the measures it will take to ensure compliance with the 2020 and 2030 reduction commitments.
The EU Registration, Evaluation Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation 2006 requires registration of chemical substances manufactured in or imported into the EU, together with the submission of relevant hazard and risk data. REACH affects our manufacturing or trading/import operations in the EU. bp maintains
compliance by checking whether imports are covered by the registrations of non-EU suppliers’ representatives, preparing and submitting registration dossiers to cover new manufactured and imported substances, and updating previously submitted registrations as required. Some substances registered previously, including substances supplied to us by third parties for our use, are now subject to evaluation and review for potential authorization or restriction procedures, and possible banning, by the European Chemicals Agency and EU Member State authorities. In addition, bp’s facilities and operations in several EU countries continue to undergo REACH compliance inspections by the competent authority for the respective EU Member State. An amendment to the Annex of the Regulation on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixture (CLP Regulation) requires harmonized notification of information on hazardous materials (certain lubricant and fuel formations) to EU Member State poison centres. The uniform notification rules apply as of January 2020 for consumer products, from 2021 for professional and 2024 for industrial uses.
The EU Offshore Safety Directive was adopted in 2013. Its purpose is to introduce a harmonized regime aimed at reducing the potential environmental, health and safety impacts of the offshore oil and gas industry throughout EU waters. The Directive has been implemented in the UK primarily through the Offshore Installations (Offshore Safety Directive) (Safety Case etc.) Regulations 2015.
The Water Framework Directive (WFD) published in 2000 aims to protect the quantity and quality of ground and surface waters of the EU Member States. The implementation in the EU Member States is still ongoing, planned to be finalised by 2027. A Fitness Check (comprehensive policy evaluation) of the EU Water Legislation launched in 2019 concluded that the WFD is broadly fit for purpose. Future proceedings on the determination of pollutants/priority substances as well as environmental quality standards in line with the WFD may require additional compliance efforts and increased costs for managing freshwater withdrawals and discharges from bp’s EU operations.
United Kingdom
Following the UK’s exit from the European Union on 31 January 2020, the UK entered a transition period which ran until 31 December 2020. During the transition period, most EU law continued to apply to the UK and therefore to bp’s UK business during that period. From 1 January 2021, operative EU laws were retained in UK law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. The vast majority of environment related statutory instruments passed by the UK Government in anticipation of Brexit have included no substantive changes to the current EU underlying regime, but rather seek to make the amendments required to allow their continued operation after the transition period. The UK Government’s Environment Bill and 25 Year Plan will be central to the UK’s environmental regime going forward but further changes are as yet uncertain.
Other countries and regions
Regulations governing the discharge of treated water have also been developed in countries outside of the US and EU. This includes regulations in Trinidad and Angola which impacts bp’s production operations in those countries. In Trinidad, bp commissioned a new waste water treatment plant in 2020 to meet consent levels agreed with the regulators to apply water discharge rules arising from the Certificate of Environmental Clearance (CEC) Regulations 2001 and associated Water Pollution Rules 2007. In Angola, bp has upgraded produced water treatment systems to meet revised oil in water limits for produced water discharge under Executive Decree ED 97-14.
The Abidjan Convention, along with the Additional Protocol published in 2012, sets environmental quality standards for the discharge of chemicals to the marine environment. The convention and associated protocols has been ratified by 19 African nations including Senegal and Mauritania. bp is currently constructing the offshore facilities to include produced water management systems to meet the environmental quality standards for our future gas operations in Mauritania and Senegal.

Environmental maritime regulations
bp’s shipping operations are subject to extensive national and international regulations governing operations, training, pollution prevention, liability, and insurance. These include:
Liability and spill prevention and planning requirements governing, among others, tankers, barges, and offshore facilities are imposed by OPA in US waters. OPA also mandates a levy on imported and domestically produced oil to fund oil spill responses. Some states, including Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California, impose additional liability for oil spills. Outside US territorial waters, bp shipping tankers are subject to international pollution prevention, liability, spill response and preparedness regulations developed through the UN’s International Maritime Organization (IMO), including the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), the International Convention on Oil Pollution, Preparedness, Response and Co-operation, and the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage. In April 2010, the Hazardous and Noxious Substance (HNS) Protocol 2010 was adopted to address issues that have inhibited ratification of the International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea 1996. As at 31 December 2020, the HNS Convention had not entered into force.
A global sulphur cap of 0.5% applies to marine fuel under MARPOL. In order to comply, ships either need to consume low sulphur marine fuels, operate on alternative low sulphur fuels such as LNG or implement approved abatement technology to enable them to meet the low sulphur emissions requirements while continuing to use higher sulphur fuel. This global cap does not alter the lower limits that apply in the sulphur oxides Emissions Control Areas established by the IMO.
The Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (OSPAR), aims to protect the marine environment of the North-East Atlantic. The OSPAR 2012 Recommendation and Guideline for the implementation of a risk-based approach to the management of produced water discharges from offshore installations in the North Sea supports a key goal of working towards eliminating harmful discharges. In 2020 the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers issued a report “Oil And Gas Risk Based Assessment of Offshore Produced Water Discharges” which presents industry good practice and aims to broaden the understanding and acceptance of Risk Based Assessment (RBA) techniques internationally and improve consistency in the application of assumptions, levels of conservatism, and selection of risk endpoints.
To meet its financial responsibility requirements, bp Shipping maintains marine oil pollution liability insurance in respect of its operated ships to a maximum limit of $1 billion for each occurrence through mutual insurance associations (P&I Clubs), although there can be no assurance that a spill would necessarily be adequately covered by insurance or that liabilities would not exceed insurance recoveries.
International trade sanctions
During the period covered by this report, non-US subsidiaries«, or other non-US entities of BP, conducted limited activities in, or with persons from, certain countries identified by the US Department of State as State Sponsors of Terrorism or otherwise subject to US and EU sanctions (Sanctioned Countries). Sanctions restrictions continue to be insignificant to the group’s financial condition and results of operations. BP monitors its activities with Sanctioned Countries, persons from Sanctioned Countries and individuals and companies subject to US, EU and (following the end of the Brexit transition period) UK sanctions and seeks to comply with applicable sanctions laws and regulations.
BP has a 28.83% interest in and operates the Shah Deniz field in Azerbaijan (Shah Deniz), has a 28.83% interest in and performs some operations for a related gas pipeline entity, South Caucasus Pipeline Company Limited (SCPC), and has a 23% non-operating interest in a related gas marketing entity, Azerbaijan Gas Supply Company Limited (AGSC). Naftiran Intertrade Co. Limited and NICO SPV Limited (collectively, NICO) have a 10% non-operating interest in each of Shah
Deniz and SCPC and an 8% non-operating interest in AGSC. Shah Deniz, SCPC and AGSC continue in operation as they were excluded from the application of US sanctions and fall within the exception for certain natural gas projects under Section 603 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (ITRA).
On 3 December 2018 BP entered into an agreement with, among others, SOCAR and NICO pursuant to which SOCAR pays to BP Exploration (Shah Deniz) Limited (BPXSD), as the Shah Deniz operator, compensation for NICO’s waiver of its right to lift its share of Shah Deniz condensate. Such amounts are used to cover cash calls to NICO in respect of operating costs due from NICO to BPXSD. On 26 October 2020, OFAC issued an amended licence in relation to these arrangements.
Following the imposition in 2011 of further US and EU sanctions against Syria, BP terminated all sales of crude oil and petroleum products into Syria, though BP continues to supply aviation fuel to non-governmental Syrian resellers outside of Syria.
BP has a joint arrangement in Cuba which imports, manufactures, markets and sells lubricants.
During 2014, the US and the EU imposed sanctions on certain sectors of the Russian economy (energy, finance and defence/military) and on certain individuals and entities, including Rosneft. These sectoral sanctions include restrictions on the provision of financial assistance, technical assistance, and services in relation to exploration and production activity in deep water, shale, and offshore Arctic.
Additional US sanctions have been imposed since 2014, broadening the scope of US sanctions on Russia-related activity to include certain international deep water, shale, and offshore Arctic projects as well as the provision of goods and services for Russian energy export pipelines. As of 1 January 2021, as a result of the UK’s exit from the EU, the UK has also imposed Russian-related sanctions, which are broadly similar to existing EU sanctions.
We are not aware of any material adverse effect on our current income and investment in Russia or elsewhere as a consequence of these sanctions.
BP maintains bank accounts and has registered and paid required fees to maintain registrations of patents and trademarks in certain Sanctioned Countries.
BP has equity interests in non-operated joint arrangements« with air fuel sellers, resellers, and fuel delivery services around the world.
From time to time, the joint arrangement operator or other partners may sell or deliver fuel to airlines from Sanctioned Countries or flights to Sanctioned Countries, without BP's involvement.
BP has no control over the activities non-controlled associates« may undertake in Sanctioned Countries or with persons from Sanctioned Countries.
Disclosure pursuant to ITRA Section 219
To our knowledge, none of BP’s activities, transactions or dealings are required to be disclosed pursuant to ITRA Section 219, with the following possible exceptions.
On 17 July 2018, BP Iran Limited terminated its lease of an office in Tehran. The office had been used for administrative activities. In 2020, taxes with an aggregate US dollar equivalent value of approximately $20,000 were paid from a BP trust account held with Tadvin Co. to Iranian public entities. No gross revenues or net profits were attributable to these activities.
BP has a 29.3% interest in Middle East Lubricants Company LLC (Melubco), which is established and manufactures lubricants in the United Arab Emirates. In May 2020, Melubco successfully appealed an Iranian court judgment obtained against it in absentia for non-payment of shipping fees. The applicant, an Iranian shipping company, had confused Melubco with an unrelated, but similarly named, Iranian entity. In order to do so, Melubco paid court filing fees equivalent to approximately $3,000 to the Tehran Judicial Services Office. Melubco does not, and has never, done business in Iran.

Material contracts
On 4 April 2016 the district court approved the Consent Decree among BP Exploration & Production Inc., BP Corporation North America Inc., BP p.l.c., the United States and the states of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas (the Gulf states) which fully and finally resolved any and all natural resource damages (NRD) claims of the United States, the Gulf states, and their respective natural resource trustees and all Clean Water Act (CWA) penalty claims, and certain other claims of the United States and the Gulf states.
Concurrently, the definitive Settlement Agreement that bp entered into with the Gulf states (Settlement Agreement) with respect to State claims for economic, property and other losses became effective.
bp has filed the Consent Decree and the Settlement Agreement as exhibits to its Annual Report on Form 20-F 2020 filed with the SEC. For further details of the Consent Decree and the Settlement Agreement, see Legal proceedings in bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2015.
Property, plant and equipment
bp has freehold and leasehold interests in real estate and other tangible assets in numerous countries, but no individual property is significant to the group as a whole. For more on the significant subsidiaries« of the group at 31 December 2020 and the group percentage of ordinary share capital see Financial statements – Note 37. For information on significant joint ventures« and associates« of the group see Financial statements – Notes 16 and 17.
Related-party transactions
Transactions between the group and its significant joint ventures and associates are summarized in Financial statements – Note 16 and Note 17. In the ordinary course of its business, the group enters into transactions with various organizations with which some of its directors or executive officers are associated. Except as described in this report, the group did not have any material transactions or transactions of an unusual nature with, and did not make loans to, related parties in the period commencing 1 January 2020 to 2 March 2021.
Corporate governance practices
In the US, bp ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The significant differences between bp’s corporate governance practices as a UK company and those required by NYSE listing standards for US companies are listed as follows:
Independence
In 2020 bp continued to apply its board governance principles. These reflect the UK Corporate Governance Code approach to corporate governance. As such, the way in which bp makes determinations of directors’ independence differs from the NYSE rules. As set out on page 88, from 1 January 2021 bp has adopted terms of reference for the board and each of its committees.
bp’s board governance principles require that all non-executive directors be determined by the board to be ‘independent in character and judgement and free from any business or other relationship which could materially interfere with the exercise of their judgement’. The bp board has determined that, in its judgement, all of the non-executive directors are independent. In doing so, however, the board did not explicitly take into consideration the independence requirements outlined in the NYSE’s listing standards.
Committees
bp has a number of board committees that are broadly comparable in purpose and composition to those required by NYSE rules for domestic US companies. For instance, bp has a remuneration (rather than a compensation) committee. bp also has an audit committee, which NYSE rules require for both US companies and foreign private issuers. These committees are composed solely of non-executive directors whom the board has determined to be independent, in the manner described above.
The bp board governance principles prescribe the composition, main tasks and requirements of each of the committees (see the board committee
reports on pages 92-102 and 105). Therefore, during 2020 bp did not have separate charters for each committee. As from the start of 2021 each of the board committees has adopted its own terms of reference which set out their respective roles and responsibilities.
Under US securities law and the listing standards of the NYSE, bp is required to have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Section 303A.06 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. bp’s audit committee complies with these requirements. The bp audit committee does not have direct responsibility for the appointment, reappointment or removal of the independent auditors. Instead, it follows the UK Companies Act 2006 and the UK Corporate Governance code 2018 by making recommendations to the board on these matters for it to put forward for shareholder approval at the AGM.
One of the NYSE’s additional requirements for the audit committee states that at least one member of the audit committee is to have ‘accounting or related financial management expertise’. The board determined that Brendan Nelson possesses such expertise and also possesses the financial and audit committee experiences set forth in both the UK Corporate Governance Code and SEC rules (see Audit committee report on page 94). Mr Nelson is the audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F.
Shareholder approval of equity compensation plans
The NYSE rules for US companies require that shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity-compensation plans and material revisions to those plans. bp complies with UK requirements that are similar to the NYSE rules. The board, however, does not explicitly take into consideration the NYSE’s detailed definition of what are considered ‘material revisions’.
Code of ethics
The NYSE rules require that US companies adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees. bp has adopted a code of conduct, which applies to all employees and members of the board, and has board governance principles that address the conduct of directors. In addition bp has adopted a code of ethics for senior financial officers as required by the SEC. bp considers that these codes and policies address the matters specified in the NYSE rules for US companies.
Code of ethics
The company has adopted a code of ethics for its group chief executive, chief financial officer, group controller, group head of audit and chief accounting officer as required by the provisions of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules issued by the SEC. There have been no waivers from the code of ethics relating to any officers.
bp also has a code of conduct, which is applicable to all employees, officers and members of the board. This was updated (and published) in July 2014.
Controls and procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The company maintains ‘disclosure controls and procedures’, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports the company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the company’s group chief executive and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management, including the group chief executive and chief financial officer, recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud within the company, if any, have been

detected. Further, in the design and evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures our management necessarily was required to apply its judgement in evaluating the costs and benefits of possible control and procedure design options. Also, we have investments in unconsolidated entities. As we do not control these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries«. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The company’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet, and management believes that they meet, reasonable assurance standards.
The company’s management, with the participation of the company’s group chief executive and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, the group chief executive and chief financial officer have concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting
Management of bp is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. bp’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the principal executive and financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of bp’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with IFRS.
As of the end of the 2020 fiscal year, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the criteria in the UK Financial Reporting Council’s Guidance on Risk Management, Internal Control and Related Financial and Business Reporting relating to internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, management has determined that bp’s internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2020 was effective.
The company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of bp; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of bp’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. bp’s internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2020 has been audited by Deloitte LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing on page 154 of bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in the group’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by the Form 20-F that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Principal accountant's fees and services
The audit committee has established policies and procedures for the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte LLP, to render audit and certain assurance services. The policies provide for pre-approval by the audit committee of specifically defined audit, audit-related, non-audit and other services that are not prohibited by regulatory or other professional requirements. Deloitte is engaged for these services when its expertise and experience of bp are important. Most of this work is of an audit nature. The committee regularly reviews
the policy, including in 2020, when it was updated to reflect changes resulting from the FRC Ethical Standard (December 2019).
Under the policy, pre-approval is given for specific services within the following categories: advice on accounting, auditing and financial reporting matters; internal accounting and risk management control reviews (excluding any services relating to information systems design and implementation); non-statutory audit; project assurance and advice on business and accounting process improvement (excluding any services relating to information systems design and implementation relating to bp’s financial statements or accounting records); provision of, or access to, Deloitte publications, workshops, seminars and other training materials; provision of reports from data gathered on non-financial policies and information; provision of the independent third party audit in accordance with US Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards, over the company’s Conflict Minerals Report – where such a report is required under the SEC rule ‘Conflict Minerals’, issued in accordance with Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act; and assistance with understanding non-financial regulatory requirements. bp operates a two-tier system for audit and non-audit services. For audit related services, the audit committee has a pre-approved aggregate level, within which specific work may be approved by management. Non-audit services are pre-approved for management to authorize per individual engagement, but above a defined level must be approved by the chairman of the audit committee or the full committee. In response to the revised regulatory guidelines of the UK Financial Reporting Council, the audit committee reviewed and updated its policies with effect from 1 January 2017 and in 2018 further updated its policies to clarify the engagement of the incoming auditor, Deloitte, and the outgoing auditor Ernst & Young to ensure independence. The defined maximum level for pre-approval has been reduced in line with FRC guidance on ‘non-trivial’ engagements. The audit committee has delegated to the chairman of the audit committee authority to approve permitted services provided that the chairman reports any decisions to the committee at its next scheduled meeting. Any proposed service not included in the approved service list must be approved in advance by the audit committee chairman and reported to the committee, or approved by the full audit committee in advance of commencement of the engagement.
The audit committee evaluates the performance of the auditor each year. The audit fees payable to Deloitte are reviewed by the committee in the context of other global companies for cost effectiveness. The committee keeps under review the scope and results of audit work and the independence and objectivity of the auditor. External regulation and bp policy requires the auditor to rotate its lead audit partner every five years. See Financial statements – Note 36 and Audit committee report on page 94 for details of fees for services provided by the auditor.
Directors’ report information
This section of bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 forms part of, and includes certain disclosures which are required by law to be included in, the Directors’ report.
Indemnity provisions
In accordance with BP’s Articles of Association, on appointment each director is granted an indemnity from the company in respect of liabilities incurred as a result of their office, to the extent permitted by law. These indemnities were in force throughout the financial year and at the date of this report. In respect of those liabilities for which directors may not be indemnified, the company maintained a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy throughout 2020. During the year, a review of the terms and scope of the policy was undertaken as part of the annual renewal. Although their defence costs may be met, neither the company’s indemnity nor insurance provides cover in the event that the director is proved to have acted fraudulently or dishonestly. Certain subsidiaries« are trustees of the group’s pension schemes. Each director of these subsidiaries is granted an indemnity from the company in respect of liabilities incurred as a result of such a subsidiary’s activities as a trustee of the pension scheme, to the extent permitted by law. These indemnities were in force throughout the financial year and at the date of this report.

Share prices and listings
Markets and market prices
The primary market for the company’s ordinary shares (trading symbol 'BP.'), 8% cumulative first preference shares (trading symbol 'BP.A') and 9% cumulative second preference shares (trading symbol 'BP.B') is the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The company’s ordinary shares are a constituent element of the Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index.
In the US, the company’s securities are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the form of ADSs (trading symbol 'BP'), for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is the depositary (the Depositary) and transfer agent. The Depositary’s principal office is 383 Madison Avenue, Floor 11, New York, NY, 10179, US. Each ADS represents six ordinary shares. ADSs are evidenced by American depositary receipts (ADRs), which may be issued in either certificated or book entry form.
The company's ordinary shares are also traded in the form of a global depositary certificate representing the company's ordinary shares on the Frankfurt, Hamburg and Dusseldorf Stock Exchanges.
On 25 February 2021, 849,802,947 ADSs (equivalent to approximately 5,098,817,682 ordinary shares or some 25.06% of the total issued share capital, excluding shares held in treasury) were outstanding and were held by approximately 72,535 ADS holders. Of these, about 71,703 had registered addresses in the US at that date. One of the registered holders of ADSs represents approximately 1,087,342 underlying holders.
On 25 February 2021, there were approximately 225,319 ordinary shareholders. Of these shareholders, around 1,539 had registered addresses in the US and held a total of some 4,381,925 ordinary shares.
Since a number of the ordinary shares and ADSs were held by brokers and other nominees, the number of holders in the US may not be representative of the number of beneficial holders or their respective country of residence.
Dividends
The company’s current policy is to pay interim dividends on a quarterly basis on its ordinary shares.
Its policy is also to announce dividends for ordinary shares in US dollars and state an equivalent sterling dividend. Dividends on the company's ordinary shares will be paid in sterling and on the company's ADSs in US dollars. The rate of exchange used to determine the sterling amount equivalent is the average of the market exchange rates in London over the four business days prior to the sterling equivalent announcement date. The directors may choose to declare dividends in any currency provided that a sterling equivalent is announced. It is not the company’s intention to change its current policy of announcing dividends on ordinary shares in US dollars.
Information regarding dividends announced and paid by the company on ordinary shares and preference shares is provided in Financial statements – Note 10.
A Scrip Dividend Programme (Scrip Programme) was approved by shareholders in 2010 and was renewed for a further three years at the 2018 AGM. It is proposed that the Scrip Programme be renewed for a further three years at the 2021 AGM. It enabled the company's ordinary shareholders and ADS holders to elect to receive dividends by way of new fully paid ordinary shares (or ADSs in the case of ADS holders) instead of cash. The operation of the Scrip Programme is always subject to the directors’ decision to make the Scrip Programme offer available in respect of any particular dividend.
The company announced on 29 October 2019 and as part of all subsequent quarterly results announcements made since that the board had suspended the Scrip Programme in respect of those quarterly dividends. Ordinary shareholders and ADS holders (subject to certain exceptions) may be able to participate in dividend reinvestment plans. Any decisions with respect to future dividends will be made by the board of BP p.l.c. following the end of each quarter.
Future dividends will be dependent on future earnings, the financial condition of the group, the Risk factors set out on page 67 and other matters that may affect the business of the group set out in Our strategy on page 15 and in Liquidity and capital resources on page 306.
The following table shows dividends announced and paid by the company per ADS for the past five years.

Shareholder taxation information
This section describes the material US federal income tax and UK taxation consequences of owning ordinary shares or ADSs to a US holder who holds the ordinary shares or ADSs as capital assets for tax purposes. It does not apply, however, inter alia to members of special classes of holders some of which may be subject to other rules, including: tax-exempt entities, life insurance companies, dealers in securities, traders in securities that elect a mark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings, investors liable for alternative minimum tax, holders that, directly or indirectly, hold 10% or more of the company’s shares (as measured by voting power or value), holders that hold the shares or ADSs as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction, holders that purchase or sell the shares or ADSs as part of a wash sale for US federal income tax purposes, or holders whose functional currency is not the US dollar. In addition, if a partnership holds the shares or ADSs, the US federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership and may not be described fully below.
A US holder is any beneficial owner of ordinary shares or ADSs that is for US federal income tax purposes (1) a citizen or resident of the US, (2) a US domestic corporation, (3) an estate whose income is subject to US federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (4) a trust if a US court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more US persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
This section is based on the tax laws of the United States, including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed US Treasury regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, and the taxation laws of the UK, all as currently in effect, as well as the income tax convention between the US and the UK that entered into force on 31 March 2003 (the ‘Treaty’). These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. This section further assumes that each obligation under the terms of the deposit agreement relating to bp ADSs and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.
For purposes of the Treaty and the estate and gift tax Convention (the ‘Estate Tax Convention’) and for US federal income tax and UK taxation purposes, a holder of ADRs evidencing ADSs will be treated as the owner of the company’s ordinary shares represented by those ADRs. Exchanges of ordinary shares for ADRs and ADRs for ordinary shares generally will not be subject to US federal income tax or to UK taxation other than stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax, as described below.

Shareholder information
Investors should consult their own tax adviser regarding the US federal, state and local, UK and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of ordinary shares and ADSs in their particular circumstances, and in particular whether they are eligible for the benefits of the Treaty in respect of their investment in the shares or ADSs.
Taxation of dividends
UK taxation
Under current UK taxation law, no withholding tax will be deducted from dividends paid by the company, including dividends paid to US holders. A shareholder that is a company resident for tax purposes in the UK or trading in the UK through a permanent establishment generally will not be taxable in the UK on a dividend it receives from the company. A shareholder who is an individual resident for tax purposes in the UK is subject to UK tax on dividends received from the company, including dividends received under the dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) for ordinary shareholders, but until 5 April 2016, was entitled to a tax credit on cash dividends paid on ordinary shares or ADSs of the company equal to one-ninth of the cash dividend.
From 6 April 2016 the dividend tax credit was replaced by a new tax-free dividend allowance and dividends paid by the company on or after 6 April 2016 do not carry a UK tax credit. The dividend allowance was £5,000 but this has been reduced to £2,000 as of 6 April 2018.
The dividend allowance of £2,000 means there is no UK tax due on the first £2,000 of dividends received. Dividends above this level are subject to tax at 7.5% for basic tax payers, 32.5% for higher rate tax payers and 38.1% for additional rate tax payers.
Although the first £2,000 of dividend income is not subject to UK income tax, it does not reduce the total income for tax purposes. Dividends within the dividend allowance still count towards basic or higher rate bands, and may therefore affect the rate of tax paid on dividends received in excess of the £2,000 allowance. For instance, if an individual has an annual gross salary of £50,000 and also receives a dividend of £12,000 they will be subject to the following scenario. The individual's personal allowance and the basic rate tax band will be used up by the gross salary. The remaining part of the salary and the whole of the dividend will be subject to tax at the higher rate, although the dividend allowance will reduce the amount of dividend subject to tax. The dividend of £12,000 will be reduced by the dividend allowance of £2,000 leaving taxable dividend income of £10,000. The dividend will be taxed at 32.5% so that the total tax payable on the dividends is £3,250.
How the shareholder pays the tax arising on the dividend income depends on the amount of dividend income and salary they receive in the tax year. If less than £2,000 they will not need to report anything or pay any tax. If between £2,000 and £10,000, the shareholder can pay what they owe by: contacting the helpline; asking HMRC to change their tax code – the tax will be taken from their wages or pension or through completion of the ‘Dividends’ section of their tax return, where one is being filed. If over £10,000 they will be required to file a self-assessment tax return and should complete the ‘Dividends’ section with details of the amounts received.
US federal income taxation
A US holder is subject to US federal income taxation on the gross amount of any dividend paid by the company (including dividends paid but reinvested received under the Global Invest Direct (GID) Dividend Reinvestment Plan for ADS holders) out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for US federal income tax purposes). Dividends paid to a non-corporate US holder that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable to the holder at a preferential rate, provided that the holder has a holding period in the ordinary shares or ADSs of more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date and meets other holding period requirements. Dividends paid by the company with respect to the ordinary shares or ADSs will generally be qualified dividend income.
For US federal income tax purposes, a dividend must be included in income when the US holder, in the case of ordinary shares, or the Depositary, in the case of ADSs, actually or constructively receives the dividend and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to US corporations in respect of dividends received from other US corporations. US ADS holders should consult their own tax
adviser regarding the US tax treatment of the dividend fee in respect of dividends. Dividends will be income from sources outside the US and generally will be ‘passive category income’ or, in the case of certain US holders, ‘general category income’, each of which is treated separately for purposes of computing a US holder’s foreign tax credit limitation.
As noted above in UK taxation, a US holder will not be subject to UK withholding tax. Accordingly, the receipt of a dividend will not entitle the US holder to a foreign tax credit.
The amount of the dividend distribution on the ordinary shares that is paid in pounds sterling will be the US dollar value of the pounds sterling payments made, determined at the spot pounds sterling/US dollar rate on the date the dividend distribution is includible in income, regardless of whether the payment is, in fact, converted into US dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the pounds sterling dividend payment is includible in income to the date the payment is converted into US dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income. The gain or loss generally will be income or loss from sources within the US for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.
Distributions in excess of the company’s earnings and profits, as determined for US federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the US holder’s basis in the ordinary shares or ADSs and thereafter as capital gain, subject to taxation as described in Taxation of capital gains – US federal income taxation section below.
In addition, the taxation of dividends may be subject to the rules for passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), described below under ‘Taxation of capital gains – US federal income taxation’. Distributions made by a PFIC do not constitute qualified dividend income and are not eligible for the preferential tax rate applicable to such income.
Taxation of capital gains
UK taxation
A US holder may be liable for both UK and US tax in respect of a gain on the disposal of ordinary shares or ADSs if the US holder is (1) resident for tax purposes in the United Kingdom at the date of disposal, (2) if he or she has left the UK for a period not exceeding five complete tax years between the year of departure from and the year of return to the UK and acquired the shares before leaving the UK and was resident in the UK in the previous four out of seven tax years before the year of departure, (3) a US domestic corporation resident in the UK by reason of its business being managed or controlled in the UK or (4) a citizen of the US that carries on a trade or profession or vocation in the UK through a branch or agency or a corporation that carries on a trade, profession or vocation in the UK, through a permanent establishment, and that has used, held, or acquired the ordinary shares or ADSs for the purposes of such trade, profession or vocation of such branch, agency or permanent establishment. However, such persons may be entitled to a tax credit against their US federal income tax liability for the amount of UK capital gains tax or UK corporation tax on chargeable gains (as the case may be) that is paid in respect of such gain.
Under the Treaty, capital gains on dispositions of ordinary shares or ADSs generally will be subject to tax only in the jurisdiction of residence of the relevant holder as determined under both the laws of the UK and the US and as required by the terms of the Treaty.
Under the Treaty, individuals who are residents of either the UK or the US and who have been residents of the other jurisdiction (the US or the UK, as the case may be) at any time during the six years immediately preceding the relevant disposal of ordinary shares or ADSs may be subject to tax with respect to capital gains arising from a disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs of the company not only in the jurisdiction of which the holder is resident at the time of the disposition but also in the other jurisdiction.
For gains on or after 23 June 2010, the UK Capital Gains Tax rate will be dependent on the level of an individual’s taxable income. Where total taxable income and gains after all allowable deductions are less than the upper limit of the basic rate income tax band of £37,500 (for 2020/21), the rate of Capital Gains Tax will be 10%. For gains (and any parts of gains) above that limit the rate will be 20%.

From 6 April 2008, entitlement to the annual exemption is based on an individual’s circumstances (taking into account Domicile status, remittance basis of taxation and number of years in the UK). For individuals who are entitled to the exemption for 2020/21, this has been set at £12,300. Corporation tax on chargeable gains is levied at 19 per cent for companies from 1 April 2017.
US federal income taxation
A US holder who sells or otherwise disposes of ordinary shares or ADSs will recognize a capital gain or loss for US federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the US dollar value of the amount realized on the disposition and the US holder’s tax basis, determined in US dollars, in the ordinary shares or ADSs. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term gain or loss, subject to tax at a preferential rate for a non-corporate US holder, if the US holder’s holding period for such ordinary shares or ADSs exceeds one year. The tax basis of shares acquired through reinvested dividends under the GID Dividend Reinvestment Plan for ADS holders) is equal to the fair market value of the stock on the investment date. The holding period for shares acquired under the plan begins the day after the applicable investment date.
Gain or loss from the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs will generally be income or loss from sources within the US for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
We do not believe that ordinary shares or ADSs will be treated as stock of a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) for US federal income tax purposes, but this conclusion is a factual determination that is made annually and thus is subject to change. If we are treated as a PFIC, unless a US holder elects to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to ordinary shares or ADSs, any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs would in general not be treated as capital gain. Instead, a US holder would be treated as if he or she had realized such gain rateably over the holding period for ordinary shares or ADSs and would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year to which the gain was allocated, in addition to which an interest charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year would apply. Certain ‘excess distributions’ would be similarly treated if we were treated as a PFIC.
Additional tax considerations
Scrip Programme
Until the publication of the 2019 third quarter results, the company had an optional Scrip Programme, wherein holders of bp ordinary shares or ADSs could elect to receive any dividends in the form of new fully paid ordinary shares or ADSs of the company instead of cash. Please consult your tax adviser for the consequences to you.
UK inheritance tax
The Estate Tax Convention applies to inheritance tax. ADSs held by an individual who is domiciled for the purposes of the Estate Tax Convention in the US and is not for the purposes of the Estate Tax Convention a national of the UK will not be subject to UK inheritance tax on the individual’s death or on transfer during the individual’s lifetime unless, among other things, the ADSs are part of the business property of a permanent establishment situated in the UK used for the performance of independent personal services. In the exceptional case where ADSs are subject to both inheritance tax and US federal gift or estate tax, the Estate Tax Convention generally provides for tax payable in the US to be credited against tax payable in the UK or for tax paid in the UK to be credited against tax payable in the US, based on priority rules set forth in the Estate Tax Convention.
UK stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax
The statements below relate to what is understood to be the current practice of HM Revenue & Customs in the UK under existing law.
Provided that any instrument of transfer is not executed in the UK and remains at all times outside the UK and the transfer does not relate to any matter or thing done or to be done in the UK, no UK stamp duty is payable on the acquisition or transfer of ADSs. Neither will an agreement to transfer ADSs in the form of ADRs give rise to a liability to stamp duty reserve tax.
Purchases of ordinary shares, as opposed to ADSs, through the CREST system of paperless share transfers will be subject to stamp duty reserve tax at 0.5%. The charge will arise as soon as there is an agreement for the transfer of the shares (or, in the case of a conditional agreement, when the condition is fulfilled). The stamp duty reserve tax will apply to agreements to transfer ordinary shares even if the agreement is made outside the UK between two non-residents. Purchases of ordinary shares outside the CREST system are subject either to stamp duty at a rate of £5 per £1,000 (or part, unless the stamp duty is less than £5, when no stamp duty is charged), or stamp duty reserve tax at 0.5%. Stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax are generally the liability of the purchaser.
A subsequent transfer of ordinary shares to the Depositary’s nominee will give rise to further stamp duty at the rate of £1.50 per £100 (or part) or stamp duty reserve tax at the rate of 1.5% of the value of the ordinary shares at the time of the transfer. For ADR holders electing to receive ADSs instead of cash, after the 2012 first quarter dividend payment, HM Revenue & Customs no longer seeks to impose 1.5% stamp duty reserve tax on issues of UK shares and securities to non-EU clearance services and depositary receipt systems.
Major shareholders
The disclosure of certain major and significant shareholdings in the share capital of the company is governed by the Companies Act 2006, the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR) and the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Annual general meeting
The 2021 AGM is scheduled to be held on Wednesday 12 May 2021 at 11.00am. A separate notice convening the meeting is distributed to shareholders, which includes an explanation of the items of business to be considered at the meeting.
All resolutions for which notice has been given will be decided on a poll. Deloitte LLP have expressed their willingness to continue in office as auditors and a resolution for their reappointment is included in the Notice of bp Annual General Meeting 2021.
Memorandum and Articles of Association
The following summarizes certain provisions of the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and applicable English law. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the UK Companies Act 2006 (the Act) and the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Memorandum and Articles of Association are available online at bp.com/usefuldocs.
The company’s Articles of Association may be amended by a special resolution at a general meeting of the shareholders. At the annual general meeting (AGM) held on 21 May 2018 shareholders voted to adopt new Articles of Association to reflect developments in market practice and to provide clarification and additional flexibility where necessary or appropriate.
Objects and purposes
bp is a public company limited by shares, incorporated under the name BP p.l.c. and is registered in England and Wales with the registered number 102498. The provisions regulating the operations of the company, known as its ‘objects’, were historically stated in a company’s memorandum. The Act abolished the need to have object provisions and so at the AGM held on 15 April 2010 shareholders approved the removal of its objects clause together with all other provisions of its Memorandum that, by virtue of the Act, are treated as forming part of the company’s Articles of Association.
Directors and secretary
The business and affairs of bp shall be managed by the directors. The company’s Articles of Association provide that directors may be appointed by the existing directors or by the shareholders in a general meeting. Any person appointed by the directors will hold office only until the next general meeting, notice of which is first given after their appointment and will then be eligible for re-election by the shareholders. A director may be removed by bp as provided for by applicable law and shall vacate office in certain circumstances as set out in the Articles of Association. In addition the company may, by special resolution, remove a director before the expiration of his/her period of office and, subject to the Articles of Association, may by ordinary resolution appoint another person to be a director instead. There is no requirement for a director to retire on reaching any age.
The Articles of Association place a general prohibition on a director voting in respect of any contract or arrangement in which the director has a material interest other than by virtue of such director’s interest in shares in the company. However, in the absence of some other material interest not indicated below, a director is entitled to vote and to be counted in a quorum for the purpose of any vote relating to a resolution concerning the following matters:
The giving of security or indemnity with respect to any money lent or obligation taken by the director at the request or benefit of the company or any of its subsidiary undertakings.
Any proposal in which the director is interested, concerning the underwriting of company securities or debentures or the giving of any security to a third party for a debt or obligation of the company or any of its subsidiary undertakings.
Any proposal concerning any other company in which the director is interested, directly or indirectly (whether as an officer or shareholder or otherwise) provided that the director and persons connected with such director are not the holder or holders of 1% or more of the voting interest in the shares of such company.
Any proposal concerning the purchase or maintenance of any insurance policy under which the director may benefit.
Any proposal concerning the giving to the director of any other indemnity which is on substantially the same terms as indemnities given or to be given to all of the other directors or to the funding by the company of his expenditure on defending proceedings or the doing by the company of anything to enable the director to avoid incurring such expenditure where all other directors have been given or are to be given substantially the same arrangements.
Any proposal concerning an arrangement for the benefit of the employees and directors or former employees and former directors of the company or any of its subsidiary undertakings, including but without being limited to a retirement benefits scheme and an employees’ share scheme, which does not accord to any director any privilege or advantage not generally accorded to the employees or former employees to whom the arrangement relates.
The Act requires a director of a company who is in any way interested in a contract or proposed contract with the company to declare the nature of the director’s interest at a meeting of the directors of the company. The definition of ‘interest’ includes the interests of spouses, children, companies and trusts. The Act also requires that a director must avoid a situation where a director has, or could have, a direct or indirect interest that conflicts, or possibly may conflict, with the company’s interests. The Act allows directors of public companies to authorize such conflicts where appropriate, if a company’s Articles of Association so permit. bp’s Articles of Association permit the authorization of such conflicts. The directors may exercise all the powers of the company to borrow money, except

that the amount remaining undischarged of all moneys borrowed by the company shall not, without approval of the shareholders, exceed two times the amount paid up on the share capital plus the aggregate of the amount of the capital and revenue reserves of the company. Variation of the borrowing power of the board may only be affected by amending the Articles of Association.
Remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined in the aggregate by resolution of the shareholders. Remuneration of executive directors is determined by the remuneration committee. This committee is made up of non-executive directors only. There is no requirement of share ownership for a director’s qualification.
The Articles of Association provide entitlement to the directors’ pensions and death and disability benefits to the directors’ relations and dependants respectively.
The circumstances in which a director’s office will automatically terminate include: when a director ceases to hold an executive office of the company and the directors resolve that he should cease to be a director; if a medical practitioner provides an opinion that a director has become incapable of acting as a director and may remain so incapable for a further three months and the directors resolve that he should cease to be a director; and if all of the other directors vote in favour of a resolution stating that the person should cease to be a director.
The company secretary has express powers to delegate any of the powers or discretions conferred on him or her.
Dividend rights; other rights to share in company profits; capital calls
If recommended by the directors of bp, shareholders of bp may, by resolution, declare dividends but no such dividend may be declared in excess of the amount recommended by the directors. The directors may also pay interim dividends without obtaining shareholder approval. No dividend may be paid other than out of profits available for distribution, as determined under IFRS and the Act. Dividends on ordinary shares are payable only after payment of dividends on bp preference shares. Any dividend unclaimed after a period of 10 years from the date of declaration of such dividend shall be forfeited and reverts to bp. If the company exercises its right to forfeit shares and sells shares belonging to an untraced shareholder then any entitlement to claim dividends or other monies unclaimed in respect of those shares will be for a period of twelve months after the sale. The company may take such steps as the directors decide are appropriate in the circumstances to trace the member entitled and the sale may be made at such time and on such terms as the directors may decide.
The directors have the power to declare and pay dividends in any currency provided that a sterling equivalent is announced. It is not the company’s intention to change its current policy of paying dividends in US dollars. At the company’s AGM held on 15 April 2010, shareholders approved the introduction of a Scrip Dividend Programme (Scrip Programme) and to include provisions in the Articles of Association to enable the company to operate the Scrip Programme. The Scrip Programme was renewed at the company’s AGM held on 21 May 2018 for a further three years. The Scrip Programme enables ordinary shareholders and bp ADS holders to elect to receive new fully paid ordinary shares (or bp ADSs in the case of bp ADS holders) instead of cash. The operation of the Scrip Programme is always subject to the directors’ decision to make the scrip offer available in respect of any particular dividend. Should the directors decide not to offer the scrip in respect of any particular dividend, cash will automatically be paid instead. The directors may determine in relation to any scrip dividend plan or programme how the costs of the programme will be met, the minimum number of ordinary shares required in order to be able to participate in the programme and any arrangements to deal with legal and practical difficulties in any particular territory.
Apart from shareholders’ rights to share in bp’s profits by dividend (if any is declared or announced), the Articles of Association provide that the directors may set aside:
A special reserve fund out of the balance of profits each year to make up any deficit of cumulative dividend on the bp preference shares.
A general reserve out of the balance of profits each year, which shall be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the company may properly be applied. This may include capitalization of such sum, pursuant to an ordinary shareholders’ resolution, and distribution to
shareholders as if it were distributed by way of a dividend on the ordinary shares or in paying up in full unissued ordinary shares for allotment and distribution as bonus shares.
Any such sums so deposited may be distributed in accordance with the manner of distribution of dividends as described above.
Holders of shares are not subject to calls on capital by the company, provided that the amounts required to be paid on issue have been paid off. All shares are fully paid.
Share transfers and share certificates
The directors may permit transfers to be effected other than by an instrument in writing and that share certificates will not be required to be issued by the company if they are not required by law.
The company may charge an administrative fee in the event that a shareholder wishes to replace two or more certificates representing shares with a single certificate or wishes to surrender a single certificate and replace it with two or more certificates. All certificates are sent at the member’s risk.
Voting rights
The Articles of Association of the company provide that voting on resolutions at a shareholders’ meeting will be decided on a poll other than resolutions of a procedural nature, which may be decided on a show of hands. If voting is on a poll, every shareholder who is present in person or by proxy has one vote for every ordinary share held and two votes for every £5 in nominal amount of bp preference shares held. If voting is on a show of hands, each shareholder who is present at the meeting in person or whose duly appointed proxy is present in person will have one vote, regardless of the number of shares held, unless a poll is requested.
Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights.
For the purposes of determining which persons are entitled to attend or vote at a shareholders’ meeting and how many votes such persons may cast, the company may specify in the notice of the meeting a time, not more than 48 hours before the time of the meeting, by which a person who holds shares in registered form must be entered on the company’s register of members in order to have the right to attend or vote at the meeting or to appoint a proxy to do so.
Holders on record of ordinary shares may appoint a proxy, including a beneficial owner of those shares, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at any shareholders’ meeting, provided that a duly completed proxy form is received not less than 48 hours (or such shorter time as the directors may determine) before the time of the meeting or adjourned meeting or, where the poll is to be taken after the date of the meeting, not less than 24 hours (or such shorter time as the directors may determine) before the time of the poll.
Record holders of bp ADSs are also entitled to attend, speak and vote at any shareholders’ meeting of bp by the appointment by the approved depositary, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., of them as proxies in respect of the ordinary shares represented by their ADSs. Each such proxy may also appoint a proxy. Alternatively, holders of bp ADSs are entitled to vote by supplying their voting instructions to the depositary, who will vote the ordinary shares represented by their ADSs in accordance with their instructions.
Proxies may be delivered electronically.
Corporations who are members of the company may appoint one or more persons to act as their representative or representatives at any shareholders’ meeting provided that the company may require a corporate representative to produce a certified copy of the resolution appointing them before they are permitted to exercise their powers.
Matters are transacted at shareholders’ meetings by the proposing and passing of resolutions, of which there are two types: ordinary or special.
An ordinary resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of those persons voting at a meeting at which there is a quorum. A special resolution requires the affirmative vote of not less than three quarters of the persons voting at a meeting at which there is a quorum. Any AGM requires 21 clear days’ notice. The notice period for any other general meeting is 14 clear days subject to the company obtaining annual shareholder approval, failing which, a 21 clear day notice period will apply.

Shareholder information
Liquidation rights; redemption provisions
In the event of a liquidation of bp, after payment of all liabilities and applicable deductions under UK laws and subject to the payment of secured creditors, the holders of bp preference shares would be entitled to the sum of (1) the capital paid up on such shares plus, (2) accrued and unpaid dividends and (3) a premium equal to the higher of (a) 10% of the capital paid up on the bp preference shares and (b) the excess of the average market price over par value of such shares on the LSE during the previous six months. The remaining assets (if any) would be divided pro rata among the holders of ordinary shares.
Without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of any class of shares, bp may issue any share with such preferred, deferred or other special rights, or subject to such restrictions as the shareholders by resolution determine (or, in the absence of any such resolutions, by determination of the directors), and may issue shares that are to be or may be redeemed.
Variation of rights
The rights attached to any class of shares may be varied with the consent in writing of holders of 75% of the shares of that class or on the adoption of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. At every such separate meeting, all of the provisions of the Articles of Association relating to proceedings at a general meeting apply, except that the quorum with respect to a meeting to change the rights attached to the preference shares is 10% or more of the shares of that class, and the quorum to change the rights attached to the ordinary shares is one third or more of the shares of that class.
Shareholders’ meetings and notices
Shareholders must provide bp with a postal or electronic address in the UK to be entitled to receive notice of shareholders’ meetings. Holders of bp ADSs are entitled to receive notices under the terms of the deposit agreement relating to bp ADSs. The substance and timing of notices are described above under the heading Voting rights.
Under the Act, the AGM of shareholders must be held once every year, within each six month period beginning with the day following the company’s accounting reference date. All general meetings shall be held at a time and place determined by the directors. If any shareholders’ meeting is adjourned for lack of quorum, notice of the time and place of the adjourned meeting may be given in any lawful manner, including electronically. Powers exist for action to be taken either before or at the meeting by authorized officers to ensure its orderly conduct and safety of those attending.
The directors have power to convene a general meeting which is a hybrid meeting, that is to provide facilities for shareholders to attend a meeting which is being held at a physical place by electronic means as well (but not to convene a purely electronic meeting).
The provisions of the Articles of Association in relation to satellite meetings permit facilities being provided by electronic means to allow those persons at each place to participate in the meeting.
Limitations on voting and shareholding
There are no limitations, either under the laws of the UK or under the company’s Articles of Association, restricting the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote bp ordinary or preference shares in the company other than limitations that would generally apply to all of the shareholders and limitations applicable to certain countries and persons subject to EU economic sanctions or those sanctions adopted by the UK government which implement resolutions of the Security Council of the United Nations.
Disclosure of interests in shares
The Act permits a public company to give notice to any person whom the company believes to be or, at any time during the three years prior to the issue of the notice, to have been interested in its voting shares requiring them to disclose certain information with respect to those interests. Failure to supply the information required may lead to disenfranchisement of the relevant shares and a prohibition on their transfer and receipt of dividends and other payments in respect of those shares and any new shares in the company issued in respect of those shares. In this context the term ‘interest’ is widely defined and will generally include an interest of any kind whatsoever in voting shares, including any interest of a holder of bp ADSs.
Called-up share capital
Details of the allotted, called-up and fully-paid share capital at 31 December 2020 are set out in Financial statements – Note 31. In accordance with institutional investor guidelines, the company deems it appropriate to grant authority to the directors to allot shares and other securities and to disapply pre-emption rights by way of shareholders' resolutions at each AGM in place of authority granted by virtue of the company's Articles of Association. At the AGM on 27 May 2020, authorization was given to the directors to allot shares in the company and to grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any
security into, shares in the company up to an aggregate nominal amount as set out in the Notice of Meeting 2020. These authorities were given for the period until the next AGM in 2021 or 27 August 2021, whichever is the earlier. These authorities are renewed annually at the AGM.
Company records and service of notice
In relation to notices not covered by the Act, the reference to notice by advertisement in a national newspaper also includes advertisements via other means such as a public announcement.

Purchases of equity securities by the issuer and affiliated purchasers
In November 2017 bp began a share repurchase or buyback programme (the programme). The sole purpose of the programme was to reduce the issued share capital of the company to offset the ongoing dilutive effect of scrip dividends over time, as announced by the company on 31 October 2017. In January 2020 the share dilution buyback programme had fully offset the impact of scrip dilution since the third quarter 2017. Authorization for the company to make market purchases (as defined in section 693(4) of the Companies Act 2006) of ordinary shares with a nominal value of $0.25 each in the company was renewed at the company’s 2020 AGM covering the period until the date of the company's 2021 AGM or 27 August 2021, whichever is earlier. The maximum number of ordinary shares to be purchased under this authority will not exceed 2,025,610,110 ordinary shares. The shares purchased will be cancelled.
The following table provides details of ordinary share purchases made (1) under the programme and (2) by the Employee Share Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and other purchases of ordinary shares and ADSs made to satisfy the requirements of certain employee share-based payment plans.

This authorization is renewed annually at the AGM. The total number of ordinary shares repurchased during 2020 under the programme was 120,057,464 at a cost of $776 million (including fees and stamp duty) representing 0.59% of the company’s issued share capital excluding shares held in treasury on 31 December 2020. All ordinary shares repurchased in 2020 under the programme were cancelled in order to reduce the company’s issued share capital.

Definitions
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the definitions for the following glossary terms are given below.

CA100+ resolution glossary
CA100+ resolution
The CA100+ resolution means the special resolution requisitioned by Climate Action 100+ and passed at bp’s 2019 Annual General Meeting, the text of which is set out below.
Special resolution: Climate Action 100+ shareholder resolution on climate change disclosures.
That in order to promote the long term success of the company, given the recognised risks and opportunities associated with climate change, we as shareholders direct the company to include in its strategic report and/or other corporate reports, as appropriate, for the year ending 2019 onwards, a description of its strategy which the board considers, in good faith, to be consistent with the goals of Articles 2.1(a)(1) and 4.1(2) of the Paris Agreement(3) (the ‘Paris goals’), as well as:
(1)Capital expenditure: how the company evaluates the consistency of each new material capex investment, including in the exploration, acquisition or development of oil and gas resources and reserves and other energy sources and technologies, with (a) the Paris goals and separately (b) a range of other outcomes relevant to its strategy.
(2)    Metrics and targets: the company’s principal metrics and relevant targets or goals over the short, medium and/or long-term, consistent with the Paris goals, together with disclosure of:
a.    The anticipated levels of investment in (i) oil and gas resources and reserves; and (ii) other energy sources and technologies.
b.    The company’s targets to promote reductions in its operational greenhouse gas emissions, to be reviewed in line with changing protocols and other relevant factors
c.    The estimated carbon intensity of the company’s energy products
bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020
341


and progress on carbon intensity over time.
d.    Any linkage between the above targets and executive remuneration.
(3)    Progress reporting: an annual review of progress against (1) and (2) above.
Such disclosure and reporting to include the criteria and summaries of the methodology and core assumptions used, and to omit commercially confidential or competitively sensitive information and be prepared at reasonable cost; and provided that nothing in this resolution shall limit the company’s powers to set and vary its strategy, or associated targets or metrics, or to take any action which it believes in good faith, would best promote the long-term success of the company.
The Paris goals
(1)    Article 2.1(a) of the Paris Agreement states the goal of ‘Holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change’.
(2)    Article 4.1 of the Paris Agreement: In order to achieve the long-term temperature goal set out in Article 2, parties aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible, recognizing that peaking will take longer for developing country parties, and to undertake rapid reductions thereafter in accordance with best available science, so as to achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century, on the basis of equity, and in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty.
(3)    U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of Parties, Twenty-First Session, Adoption of the Paris Agreement, U.N. Doc. FCCC/CP/2015/L.9/Rev.1 (Dec. 12, 2015).
New material capex investment
For the purposes of the 2020 evaluation discussed on pages 28-32, ‘new material capex investment’ means a decision taken by the resource commitment meeting (RCM) in 2020 to incur inorganic or organic investments greater than $250 million that relate to a new project or asset, extending an existing project or asset, or acquiring or increasing a share in a project, asset or entity.
There were three investments that met the above criteria in 2020.
Material capex evaluation: Paris-consistency quantitative tests.
For the purposes of evaluating material capex investments for consistency with the Paris goals, two quantitative tests were applied, see page 32.
1.Operational carbon intensity (CI)
The annual average operational GHG emissions (TeCO2e/unit), divided by the relevant unit of output:
per thousand barrels of oil equivalent in Upstream
per utilized equivalent distillation capacity in refining
per thousand tonnes in petrochemicals.
Net zero aims and ambition glossary
Net zero
References to global net zero in the phrase, 'to help the world get to net zero', means achieving '...a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases...on the basis of equity, and in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty', as set out in Article 4(1) of the Paris Agreement.
References to net zero for bp in the context of our ambition and Aims 1 and 2 as set out on page 49 (such as 'be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner'), means achieving a balance between (a) the relevant Scope 1 and 2 emissions (for our Aim 1), or Scope 3 emissions (for our Aim 2), and (b) the aggregate of applicable deductions from qualifying activities such as sinks under our methodology at the applicable time.
Emissions from the carbon in our Upstream oil and gas production
Estimated CO2 emissions from the combustion of upstream production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) on a bp equity-share basis based on bp’s net share of production, excluding bp’s share of Rosneft production and assuming that all produced volumes undergo full stoichiometric combustion to CO2.
Average emissions intensity of marketed energy products
The weighted average GHG emissions per unit of energy delivered (in grams CO2e/MJ), estimated in respect of marketing sales of energy products. GHG emissions are estimated on a lifecycle basis covering production, distribution and use of the relevant products (assuming full stoichiometric combustion of the product to CO2).
Methane intensity
Methane intensity refers to the amount of methane emissions from bp’s operated upstream oil and gas assets as a percentage of the total gas that goes to market from those operations. Our methodology is aligned with the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative’s (OGCI).
Sustainable emissions reductions (SER)
SERs result from actions or interventions that have led to ongoing reductions in Scope 1 (direct) and/or Scope 2 (indirect) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (carbon dioxide and methane) such that GHG emissions would have been higher in the reporting year if the intervention had not taken place. SERs must meet three criteria: a specific intervention that has reduced GHG emissions, the reduction must be quantifiable and the reduction is expected to be ongoing. Reductions are reportable for a 12-month period from the start of the intervention/action.
Adjusted EBIDA
Non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBIDA is defined as underlying replacement cost profit before interest and tax, add back depreciation, depletion and amortization and exploration expenditure written-off (net of non-operating items), less taxation on an underlying RC basis. bp believes that adjusted EBIDA is a useful measure for investors because it is a measure closely tracked by management to evaluate bp’s operating performance and to make financial, strategic and operating decisions and because it may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, the underlying trends in bp’s operational performance on a comparable basis, period on period. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is profit or loss before interest and tax. Adjusted EBIDA per share is calculated based on the shares in issue at period-end.
Adjusted effective tax rate (ETR)
Non-GAAP measure. The adjusted ETR is calculated by dividing taxation on an underlying replacement cost (RC) basis excluding the impact of reductions in the rate of the UK North Sea supplementary charge in 2016 by underlying RC profit or loss before tax. Taxation on an underlying RC basis is taxation on a RC basis for the period adjusted for taxation on non-operating items and fair value accounting effects, and certain foreign exchange impacts on the group’s tax charge for the period. Information on underlying RC profit or loss is provided below. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the adjusted ETR because this measure may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, the underlying trends in bp’s operational performance on a comparable basis, period on period. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is the ETR on profit or loss for the period. A reconciliation to GAAP information is provided on page 348.

Brent
A trading classification for North Sea crude oil that serves as a major benchmark price for purchases of oil worldwide.
Capital expenditure
Total cash capital expenditure as stated in the group cash flow statement.
Castrol sales and other operating revenues
Castrol sales and other operating revenues, are sales and other operating revenues generated by our Castrol business.
Commodity trading contracts
bp participates in regional and global commodity trading markets in order to manage, transact and hedge the crude oil, refined products and natural gas that the group either produces or consumes in its manufacturing operations. The range of contracts the group enters into in its commodity trading operations is described below. Using these contracts, in combination with rights to access storage and transportation capacity, allows the group to access advantageous pricing differences between locations, time periods and grades.
Exchange-traded commodity derivatives
Contracts that are typically in the form of futures and options traded on a recognized exchange, such as Nymex and ICE. Such contracts are traded in standard specifications for the main marker crude oils, such as Brent and West Texas Intermediate; the main product grades, such as gasoline and gasoil; and for natural gas and power. Gains and losses, otherwise referred to as variation margin, are generally settled on a daily basis with the relevant exchange. These contracts are used for the trading and risk management of crude oil, refined products, and natural gas and power. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on exchange-traded commodity derivatives are included in sales and other operating revenues for accounting purposes.
Over-the-counter (OTC) contracts
Contracts that are typically in the form of forwards, swaps and options. Some of these contracts are traded bilaterally between counterparties or through brokers, others may be cleared by a central clearing counterparty. These contracts can be used both for trading and risk management activities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on OTC contracts are included in sales and other operating revenues for accounting purposes. Many grades of crude oil bought and sold use standard contracts including US domestic light sweet crude oil, commonly referred to as West Texas Intermediate, and a standard North Sea crude blend – Brent, Forties, Oseberg and Ekofisk (BFOE). Forward contracts are used in connection with the purchase of crude oil supplies for refineries and for marketing and sales of the group’s oil production and refined products. The contracts typically contain standard delivery and settlement terms. These transactions call for physical delivery of oil with consequent operational and price risk. However, various means exist and are used from time to time, to settle obligations under the contracts in cash rather than through physical delivery. Physically settled BFOE contracts delivered by cargo additionally specify a standard volume and tolerance.
Gas and power OTC markets are highly developed in North America and the UK, where commodities can be bought and sold for delivery in future periods. These contracts are negotiated between two parties to purchase and sell gas and power at a specified price, with delivery and settlement at a future date. Typically, the contracts specify delivery terms for the underlying commodity. Some of these transactions are not settled physically as they can be net settled by transacting offsetting sale or purchase contracts for the same location and delivery period. The contracts contain standard terms such as delivery point, pricing mechanism, settlement terms and specification of the commodity. Typically, volume, price and term (e.g. daily, monthly and balance of month) are the main variable contract terms.
Swaps are typically contractual obligations to exchange cash flows between two parties. A typical swap transaction usually references a floating price and a fixed price with the net difference of the cash flows being settled. Options give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell crude, oil products, natural gas or power at a specified price on or before a specific future date. Amounts under these derivative financial instruments are settled at expiry. Typically, netting agreements are used to limit credit exposure and support liquidity.
Spot and term contracts
Spot contracts are contracts to purchase or sell a commodity at the market price prevailing on or around the delivery date when title to the inventory is taken. Term contracts are contracts to purchase or sell a commodity at regular intervals over an agreed term. Though spot and term contracts may have a standard form, there is no offsetting mechanism in place. As such, these transactions result in physical delivery with operational and price risk. Spot and term contracts typically relate to purchases of crude for a refinery, products for marketing, or third-party natural gas, or sales of the group’s oil production, oil products or gas production to third parties. For accounting purposes, spot and term sales are included in sales and other operating revenues when title passes. Similarly, spot and term purchases are included in purchases for accounting purposes.
Consolidation adjustment – UPII
Unrealized profit in inventory arising on inter-segment transactions.
Convenience gross margin
Non-GAAP measure. Convenience gross margin comprises store gross margin as well as other merchandise and service contribution, not considered as retail fuels or store gross margin, received from the retail service stations operated under a bp brand, excluding equity-accounted entities.
Convenience, retail fuels and electrification gross margin
Non-GAAP measure. Convenience, retail fuels and electrification gross margin is RC profit before interest and tax for Downstream, adjusted for non-operating items and fair value accounting effects to derive underlying RC profit before interest and tax. Downstream underlying RC profit before interest and tax is further adjusted by subtracting underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the petrochemicals, refining and trading and lubricants businesses; adding-back depreciation, depletion and amortization, production and manufacturing, distribution and administration expenses for fuels (excluding refining and trading); subtracting earnings from equity-accounted entities in fuels (excluding refining and trading) and gross margin for aviation, B2B and midstream businesses.
Margin share for convenience and electrification is the ratio of convenience and electrification gross margin to total consumer energy (retail fuels and electrification) and convenience gross margin.
bp believes it is helpful to disclose the margin share from convenience and electrification because this measure may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same way as management, our progress against our strategic objectives of redefining convenience and scaling up our next-gen mobility solutions. The nearest GAAP measures of the numerator and denominator are RC profit before interest and tax. A reconciliation to GAAP information is provided on page 318.
We are unable to present forward-looking information of the nearest GAAP measures of the numerator and denominator for margin share for convenience and electrification, because without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to forecast accurately certain adjusting items required to calculate a meaningful comparable GAAP forward-looking financial measure. These items include inventory holding gains or losses, that is difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.
Cumulative cash costs reductions
Non-GAAP measure. Cash costs are a subset of production and manufacturing expenses plus distribution and administration expenses and they exclude costs that are classified as non-operating items. They represent the substantial majority of the remaining expenses in these line items but exclude certain costs that are variable, primarily with volumes (such as freight costs). Management believes that cash costs is a performance measure that provides investors with useful information regarding the company’s financial performance, because it considers these expenses to be the principal operating and overhead expenses that are most directly under their control although they also include certain foreign exchange and commodity price effects. Cumulative cash cost reductions in 2021 compared to 2019, as applicable to the directors’ remuneration usage, are further defined as 2021 exit rate, less agreed portfolio changes compared to 2019 baseline.

Customer touchpoints
Customer touchpoints are the number of retail customer transactions per day on bp forecourts globally. These include transactions involving fuel and/or convenience across all channels of trade.
Developed renewables to final investment decision (FID)
Total generating capacity for assets developed to FID by all entities where bp has an equity share (proportionate to equity share). If asset is subsequently sold bp will continue to record capacity as developed to FID. If bp equity share increases developed capacity to FID will increase proportionately to share increase for any assets where bp held equity at the point of FID.
Divestment proceeds
Disposal proceeds as per the group cash flow statement.
Dividend yield
Sum of the four quarterly dividends announced in respect of the year as a percentage of the year-end share price.
Effective tax rate (ETR) on replacement cost (RC) profit or loss
Non-GAAP measure. The ETR on RC profit or loss is calculated by dividing taxation on a RC basis by RC profit or loss before tax. Information on RC profit or loss is provided below. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the ETR on RC profit or loss because this measure excludes the impact of price changes on the replacement of inventories and allows for more meaningful comparisons between reporting periods. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is the ETR on profit or loss for the period. A reconciliation to GAAP information is provided on page 348.
Electric vehicle charge points
Defined as charge points operated by either bp or a bp joint venture.
Fair value accounting effects
Non-GAAP adjustments to our IFRS profit or loss. We use derivative instruments to manage the economic exposure relating to inventories above normal operating requirements of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products. Under IFRS, these inventories are recorded at historical cost. The related derivative instruments, however, are required to be recorded at fair value with gains and losses recognized in the income statement. This is because hedge accounting is either not permitted or not followed, principally due to the impracticality of effectiveness-testing requirements. Therefore, measurement differences in relation to recognition of gains and losses occur. Gains and losses on these inventories are not recognized until the commodity is sold in a subsequent accounting period. Gains and losses on the related derivative commodity contracts are recognized in the income statement, from the time the derivative commodity contract is entered into, on a fair value basis using forward prices consistent with the contract maturity.
bp enters into physical commodity contracts to meet certain business requirements, such as the purchase of crude for a refinery or the sale of bp’s gas production. Under IFRS these physical contracts are treated as derivatives and are required to be fair valued when they are managed as part of a larger portfolio of similar transactions. Gains and losses arising are recognized in the income statement from the time the derivative commodity contract is entered into.
IFRS require that inventory held for trading is recorded at its fair value using period-end spot prices, whereas any related derivative commodity instruments are required to be recorded at values based on forward prices consistent with the contract maturity. Depending on market conditions, these forward prices can be either higher or lower than spot prices, resulting in measurement differences.
bp enters into contracts for pipelines and other transportation, storage capacity, oil and gas processing and liquefied natural gas (LNG) that, under IFRS, are recorded on an accruals basis. These contracts are risk-managed using a variety of derivative instruments that are fair valued under IFRS. This results in measurement differences in relation to recognition of gains and losses.
The way that bp manages the economic exposures described above, and measures performance internally, differs from the way these activities are measured under IFRS. bp calculates this difference for consolidated entities by comparing the IFRS result with management’s internal measure of performance. Under management’s internal measure of performance the inventory, transportation and capacity contracts in
question are valued based on fair value using relevant forward prices prevailing at the end of the period. The fair values of derivative instruments used to risk manage certain oil, gas and other contracts, are deferred to match with the underlying exposure and the commodity contracts for business requirements are accounted for on an accruals basis. We believe that disclosing management’s estimate of this difference provides useful information for investors because it enables investors to see the economic effect of these activities as a whole.
Fair value accounting effects also include changes in the fair value of the near-term portions of LNG contracts that fall within bp’s risk management framework. LNG contracts are not considered derivatives, because there is insufficient market liquidity, and they are therefore accrual accounted under IFRS. However, oil and natural gas derivative financial instruments (used to risk manage the near-term portions of the LNG contracts) are fair valued under IFRS. The fair value accounting effect reduces timing differences between recognition of the derivative financial instruments used to risk manage the LNG contracts and the recognition of the LNG contracts themselves, which therefore gives a better representation of performance in each period.
In addition, from 2020 fair value accounting effects include changes in the fair value of derivatives entered into by the group to manage currency exposure and interest rate risks relating to hybrid bonds to their respective first call periods. The hybrid bonds which were issued on 17 June 2020 are classified as equity instruments and were recorded in the balance sheet at that date at their USD equivalent issued value. Under IFRS these equity instruments are not remeasured from period to period, and do not qualify for application of hedge accounting. The derivative instruments relating to the hybrid bonds, however, are required to be recorded at fair value with mark to market gains and losses recognized in the income statement. Therefore, measurement differences in relation to the recognition of gains and losses occur. The fair value accounting effect, which is reported in the Other businesses and corporate segment, eliminates the fair value gains and losses of these derivative financial instruments that are recognized in the income statement. We believe that this gives a better representation of performance, by more appropriately reflecting the economic effect of these risk management activities, in each period.
Finance debt ratio
Finance debt ratio is defined as the ratio of finance debt to the total of finance debt plus total equity.
Free cash flow
Operating cash flow less net cash used in investing activities and lease liability payments included in financing activities, as presented in the group cash flow statement.
Gearing and net debt
Non-GAAP measures. Net debt is calculated as finance debt, as shown in the balance sheet, plus the fair value of associated derivative financial instruments that are used to hedge foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks relating to finance debt, for which hedge accounting is applied, less cash and cash equivalents. Gearing is defined as the ratio of net debt to the total of net debt plus total equity. bp believes these measures provide useful information to investors. Net debt enables investors to see the economic effect of finance debt, related hedges and cash and cash equivalents in total. Gearing enables investors to see how significant net debt is relative to total equity. The derivatives are reported on the balance sheet within the headings ‘Derivative financial instruments’. See Financial statements – Note 27 for information on finance debt, which is the nearest equivalent measure to net debt on an IFRS basis. The nearest equivalent GAAP measure to gearing on an IFRS basis is finance debt ratio.
We are unable to present reconciliations of forward-looking information for gearing to finance debt ratio, because without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to forecast accurately certain adjusting items required to present a meaningful comparable GAAP forward-looking financial measure. These items include fair value asset (liability) of hedges related to finance debt and cash and cash equivalents, that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.

bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020


Gearing including leases and net debt including leases
Non-GAAP measure. Net debt including leases is calculated as net debt plus lease liabilities, less the net amount of partner receivables and payables relating to leases entered into on behalf of joint operations. Gearing including leases is defined as the ratio of net debt including leases to the total of net debt including leases plus total equity. bp believes these measures provide useful information to investors as they enable investors to understand the impact of the group’s lease portfolio on net debt and gearing. See Financial statements – Note 27 for information on finance debt, which is the nearest equivalent measure to net debt including leases on an IFRS basis. The nearest equivalent GAAP measure to gearing including leases on an IFRS basis is finance debt ratio.
Henry Hub
A distribution hub on the natural gas pipeline system in Erath, Louisiana, that lends its name to the pricing point for natural gas futures contracts traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange and the over-the-counter swaps traded on Intercontinental Exchange.
Hydrocarbons
Liquids and natural gas. Natural gas is converted to oil equivalent at 5.8 billion cubic feet = 1 million barrels.
Inorganic capital expenditure
A subset of capital expenditure on a cash basis and is a non-GAAP measure. Inorganic capital expenditure comprises consideration in business combinations and certain other significant investments made by the group. It is reported on a cash basis. bp believes that this measure provides useful information as it allows investors to understand how bp’s management invests funds in projects which expand the group’s activities through acquisition. Further information and a reconciliation to GAAP information is provided on page 303.
Inventory holding gains and losses
The difference between the cost of sales calculated using the replacement cost of inventory and the cost of sales calculated on the first-in first-out (FIFO) method after adjusting for any changes in provisions where the net realizable value of the inventory is lower than its cost. Under the FIFO method, which we use for IFRS reporting, the cost of inventory charged to the income statement is based on its historical cost of purchase or manufacture, rather than its replacement cost. In volatile energy markets, this can have a significant distorting effect on reported income. The amounts disclosed represent the difference between the charge to the income statement for inventory on a FIFO basis (after adjusting for any related movements in net realizable value provisions) and the charge that would have arisen based on the replacement cost of inventory. For this purpose, the replacement cost of inventory is calculated using data from each operation’s production and manufacturing system, either on a monthly basis, or separately for each transaction where the system allows this approach. The amounts disclosed are not separately reflected in the financial statements as a gain or loss. No adjustment is made in respect of the cost of inventories held as part of a trading position and certain other temporary inventory positions. See Replacement cost (RC) profit or loss definition below.
Joint arrangement
An arrangement in which two or more parties have joint control.
Joint control
Contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Joint operation
A joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.
Joint venture
A joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Low carbon energy / low carbon technologies
Low carbon (renewable) electricity; bio-energy; electrification; future mobility solutions; carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS); “blue” or “green” hydrogen; and trading in low carbon products. Note that, while there is some overlap, these terms do not mean the same as bp’s strategic focus area of “low carbon electricity and energy”.
Low carbon investment / investment in low carbon energy / investment in low carbon
Capital expenditure on low carbon energy or technologies.
Low carbon and other energy transition activities
Low carbon energy / technologies as described above, together with convenience; integrated gas and power; bp Ventures and Launchpad.
Major projects
Have a bp net investment of at least $250 million, or are considered to be of strategic importance to bp or of a high degree of complexity.
Margin share for convenience and electrification
Non-GAAP measure. See Convenience, retail fuels and electrification gross margin definition.
Non-operating items
Charges and credits are included in the financial statements that bp discloses separately because it considers such disclosures to be meaningful and relevant to investors. They are items that management considers not to be part of underlying business operations and are disclosed in order to enable investors better to understand and evaluate the group’s reported financial performance. Non-operating items within equity-accounted earnings are reported net of incremental income tax reported by the equity-accounted entity. An analysis of non-operating items by segment and type is shown on page 304.
Operating cash flow
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as stated in the group cash flow statement. When used in the context of a segment rather than the group, the terms refer to the segment’s share thereof.
Operating cash flow excluding Gulf of Mexico oil spill payments
Non-GAAP measure. It is calculated by excluding post-tax operating cash flows relating to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill from net cash provided by operating activities as reported in the group cash flow statement. bp believes net cash provided by operating activities excluding amounts related to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is a useful measure as it allows for more meaningful comparisons between reporting periods. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is net cash provided by operating activities.
Operating management system (OMS)
bp’s OMS helps us manage risks in our operating activities by setting out bp’s principles for good operating practice. It brings together bp requirements on health, safety, security, the environment, social responsibility and operational reliability, as well as related issues, such as maintenance, contractor relations and organizational learning, into a common management system.
Organic capital expenditure
A subset of capital expenditure on a cash basis and is a non-GAAP measure. Organic capital expenditure comprises capital expenditure less inorganic capital expenditure. bp believes that this measure provides useful information as it allows investors to understand how bp’s management invests funds in developing and maintaining the group’s assets. An analysis of organic capital expenditure by segment and region, and a reconciliation to GAAP information is provided on page 303.
We are unable to present reconciliations of forward-looking information for organic capital expenditure to total cash capital expenditure, because without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to forecast accurately the
bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020

adjusting item, inorganic capital expenditure, that is difficult to predict in advance in order to derive the nearest GAAP estimate.
Production-sharing agreement / contract (PSA / PSC)
An arrangement through which an oil and gas company bears the risks and costs of exploration, development and production. In return, if exploration is successful, the oil company receives entitlement to variable physical volumes of hydrocarbons, representing recovery of the costs incurred and a stipulated share of the production remaining after such cost recovery.
Readily marketable inventory (RMI)
RMI is inventory held and price risk-managed by our integrated supply and trading function (IST) which could be sold to generate funds if required. It comprises oil and oil products for which liquid markets are available and excludes inventory which is required to meet operational requirements and other inventory which is not price risk-managed. RMI is reported at fair value. Inventory held by the Downstream fuels business for the purpose of sales and marketing, and all inventories relating to the lubricants and petrochemicals businesses, are not included in RMI. bp believes that disclosing the amounts of RMI and paid-up RMI is useful to investors as it enables them to better understand and evaluate the group’s inventories and liquidity position by enabling them to see the level of discretionary inventory held by IST and to see builds or releases of liquid trading inventory.
Paid-up RMI excludes RMI which has not yet been paid for. For inventory that is held in storage, a first-in first-out (FIFO) approach is used to determine whether inventory has been paid for or not. Unpaid RMI is RMI which has not yet been paid for by bp. RMI at fair value, Paid-up RMI and Unpaid RMI are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of total inventory as reported on the group balance sheet to paid-up RMI is provided on page 349.
Realizations
Realizations are the result of dividing revenue generated from hydrocarbon sales, excluding revenue generated from purchases made for resale and royalty volumes, by revenue generating hydrocarbon production volumes. Revenue generating hydrocarbon production reflects the bp share of production as adjusted for any production which does not generate revenue. Adjustments may include losses due to shrinkage, amounts consumed during processing, and contractual or regulatory host committed volumes such as royalties. For the Upstream segment, realizations include transfers between businesses.
Refining availability
Represents Solomon Associates’ operational availability for bp-operated refineries, which is defined as the percentage of the year that a unit is available for processing after subtracting the annualized time lost due to turnaround activity and all planned mechanical, process and regulatory downtime.
Refining marker margin (RMM)
The average of regional indicator margins weighted for bp’s crude refining capacity in each region. Each regional marker margin is based on product yields and a marker crude oil deemed appropriate for the region. The regional indicator margins may not be representative of the margins achieved by bp in any period because of bp’s particular refinery configurations and crude and product slate.
Replacement cost (RC) profit or loss
Reflects the replacement cost of inventories sold in the period and is arrived at by excluding inventory holding gains and losses from profit or loss. RC profit or loss is the measure of profit or loss that is required to be disclosed for each operating segment under IFRS. RC profit or loss for the group is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes this measure is useful to illustrate to investors the fact that crude oil and product prices can vary significantly from period to period and that the impact on our reported result under IFRS can be significant. Inventory holding gains and losses vary from period to period due to changes in prices as well as changes in underlying inventory levels. In order for investors to understand the operating performance of the group excluding the impact of price changes on the replacement of inventories, and to make comparisons of operating performance between reporting periods, bp’s management believes it is helpful to disclose this measure. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is profit or loss attributable to bp
shareholders. See Financial statements – Note 5. A reconciliation to GAAP information is provided on page 302.
RC profit or loss per share
Non-GAAP measure. Earnings per share is defined in Financial statements – Note 11. RC profit or loss per share is calculated using the same denominator. The numerator used is RC profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders rather than profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the RC profit or loss per share because this measure excludes the impact of price changes on the replacement of inventories and allows for more meaningful comparisons between reporting periods. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is basic earnings per share based on profit or loss for the period attributable to bp shareholders. A reconciliation to GAAP information is provided on page 348.
Renewables pipeline
Renewable projects satisfying criteria below to the point they can be considered developed to FID :
Site based projects have obtained land exclusivity rights, or for PPA based projects an offer has been made to the counterparty, or for auction projects pre-qualification criteria has been met, or for acquisition projects post a binding offer being accepted.
Reserves replacement ratio
The extent to which the year’s production has been replaced by proved reserves added to our reserve base. The ratio is expressed in oil-equivalent terms and includes changes resulting from discoveries, improved recovery and extensions and revisions to previous estimates, but excludes changes resulting from acquisitions and disposals.
Retail sites
Retail sites include sites operated by dealers, jobbers, franchisees or brand licensees or joint venture (JV) partners, under the bp brand. These may move to and from the bp brand as their fuel supply agreement or brand licence agreement expires and are renegotiated in the normal course of business. Retail sites are primarily branded bp, ARCO, Amoco, Aral and Thorntons, and also includes sites in India through our Jio-bp JV.
Retail sites in growth markets
These are retail sites that are either bp branded or co-branded with our partners in China, Mexico and Indonesia and also include sites in India through our Jio-bp JV.
Return on average capital employed
Non-GAAP measure. Return on average capital employed (ROACE) is underlying replacement cost profit, after adding back non-controlling interest and interest expense net of tax (for 2016 and 2017 interest expense was net of notional tax at an assumed 35%), divided by average capital employed (total equity plus finance debt), excluding cash and cash equivalents and goodwill. Interest expense is finance costs excluding lease interest and the unwinding of the discount on provisions and other payables before tax. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the ROACE because this measure gives an indication of the company's capital efficiency. The nearest GAAP measures of the numerator and denominator are profit or loss for the period attributable to bp shareholders and total equity respectively. The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator is provided on page 349.
We are unable to present forward-looking information of the nearest GAAP measures of the numerator and denominator for ROACE, because without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to forecast accurately certain adjusting items required to calculate a meaningful comparable GAAP forward-looking financial measure. These items include inventory holding gains or losses and interest net of tax, that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.
Strategic convenience sites
Strategic convenience sites are retail sites, within the bp portfolio, which both sell bp branded fuel and carry one of the strategic convenience brands (e.g. M&S, Rewe to Go). To be considered a strategic convenience brand the convenience offer should be a strategic differentiator in the market in which it operates. Strategic convenience site count includes sites under a pilot phase.

Surplus cash refers to surplus of sources of cash including operating cash flow, joint venture loan repayments and divestment proceeds, over uses, including leases, Gulf of Mexico oil spill payments, hybrid servicing costs, dividend payments and cash capital expenditure.
Tier 1 and tier 2 process safety events
Tier 1 events are losses of primary containment from a process of greatest consequence – causing harm to a member of the workforce, damage to equipment from a fire or explosion, a community impact or exceeding defined quantities. Tier 2 events are those of lesser consequence. These represent reported incidents occurring within bp’s operational HSSE reporting boundary. That boundary includes bp’s own operated facilities and certain other locations or situations.

A virtual trading location for sale, purchase and exchange of UK natural gas. It is the pricing and delivery point for the Intercontinental Exchange natural gas futures contract.
Unconventionals
Resources found in geographic accumulations over a large area, that usually present additional challenges to development such as low permeability or high viscosity. Examples include shale gas and oil, coalbed methane, gas hydrates and natural bitumen deposits. These typically require specialized extraction technology such as hydraulic fracturing or steam injection.
Underlying effective tax rate (ETR)
Non-GAAP measure. The underlying ETR is calculated by dividing taxation on an underlying replacement cost (RC) basis by underlying RC profit or loss before tax. Taxation on an underlying RC basis is taxation on a RC basis for the period adjusted for taxation on non-operating items and fair value accounting effects, and certain foreign exchange impacts on the group’s tax charge for the period. Information on underlying RC profit or loss is provided below. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the underlying ETR because this measure may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, the underlying trends in bp’s operational performance on a comparable basis, period on period. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is the ETR on profit or loss for the period. A reconciliation to GAAP information is provided on page 348.
We are unable to present reconciliations of forward-looking information for underlying ETR to ETR on profit or loss for the period, because without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to forecast accurately certain adjusting items required to present a meaningful comparable GAAP forward-looking financial measure. These items include the taxation on inventory holding gains and losses, non-operating items and fair value accounting effects, that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.
Underlying production
Production after adjusting for acquisitions and divestments and entitlement impacts in our production-sharing agreements (PSAs). 2021 underlying production, when compared with 2020, is production after adjusting for acquisitions and divestments, curtailments, and entitlement impacts in our production-sharing agreements/contracts and technical service contract.
Underlying replacement cost (RC) profit or loss
Non-GAAP measure. RC profit or loss after adjusting for non-operating items and fair value accounting effects. Fair value accounting effects are non-GAAP adjustments. See pages 304 and 305 for additional information on the non-operating items and fair value accounting effects that are used to arrive at underlying RC profit or loss in order to enable a full understanding of the events and their financial impact. bp believes that underlying RC profit or loss is a useful measure for investors because it is a measure closely tracked by management to evaluate bp’s operating performance and to make financial, strategic and operating decisions and because it may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, the underlying trends in bp’s operational performance on a comparable basis, year on year, by adjusting for the effects of these non-operating items and fair value accounting effects.
The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis for the group is profit or loss for the year attributable to bp shareholders. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis for segments is RC profit or loss before interest and taxation. A reconciliation to GAAP information is provided on page 302.
Underlying replacement cost (RC) profit or loss per share
Non-GAAP measure. Earnings per share is defined Financial statements – Note 11. Underlying RC profit or loss per share is calculated using the same denominator. The numerator used is underlying RC profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders rather than profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the underlying RC profit or loss per share because this measure may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, the underlying trends in bp’s operational performance on a comparable basis, period on period. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is basic earnings per share based on profit or loss for the period attributable to bp shareholders.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in BP’s Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020. I. ORDINARY SHARES The following description of our ordinary shares of US$0.25 each is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by BP’s Articles of Association and by the Companies Act 2006 (the “Act”) and any other applicable English law concerning companies, as amended from time to time. A copy of BP’s Articles of Association is filed as Exhibit 1 to BP’s Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020. A. General The number of ordinary shares outstanding at 31 December 2020, excluding treasury shares, and including certain shares that will be issuable in the future under employee share-based payment plans was 20,264,027,711. The primary market for the company’s ordinary shares (trading symbol ‘BP.’) is the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The company’s ordinary shares are a constituent element of the Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index. In the US, the company’s securities are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the form of ADSs (trading symbol ‘BP’), for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is the depositary (the Depositary) and transfer agent. The Depositary’s principal office is 383 Madison Avenue, Floor 11, New York, NY, 10179, US. Each ADS represents six ordinary shares. ADSs are evidenced by American depositary receipts (ADRs), which may be issued in either certificated or book entry form. The company's ordinary shares are also traded in the form of a global depositary certificate representing the company's ordinary shares on the Frankfurt, Hamburg and Dusseldorf Stock Exchanges. All of the existing issued BP ordinary shares are fully paid. BP ordinary shares are represented in certificated registered form and also in uncertificated form under “CREST”. CREST is an electronic settlement system in the U.K. which enables BP ordinary shares to be evidenced and transferred electronically without use of a physical certificate. B. Dividend rights If recommended by the directors of BP, shareholders of BP may, by resolution, declare dividends but no such dividend may be declared in excess of the amount recommended by the directors. The directors may also pay interim dividends without obtaining shareholder approval. No dividend may be paid other than out of profits available for distribution, as determined under IFRS and the Act. Dividends on ordinary shares are payable only after payment of dividends on BP preference shares. Any dividend unclaimed after a period of 10 years from the date of declaration of such dividend shall be forfeited and reverts to BP. If the company


 
3 exercises its right to forfeit shares and sells shares belonging to an untraced shareholder then any entitlement to claim dividends or other monies unclaimed in respect of those shares will be for a period of twelve months after the sale. The company may take such steps as the directors decide are appropriate in the circumstances to trace the member entitled and the sale may be made at such time and on such terms as the directors may decide. The directors have the power to declare and pay dividends in any currency provided that a sterling equivalent is announced. It is not the company’s intention to change its current policy of paying dividends in US dollars. At the company’s AGM held on 15 April 2010, shareholders approved the introduction of a Scrip Dividend Programme (the “Scrip Programme”) and to include provisions in the Articles of Association to enable the company to operate the Scrip Programme. The Scrip Programme was renewed at the company’s AGM held on 21 May 2018 for a further three years. The Scrip Programme enables ordinary shareholders and BP ADS holders to elect to receive new fully paid ordinary shares (or BP ADSs in the case of BP ADS holders) instead of cash. The operation of the Scrip Programme is always subject to the directors’ decision to make the scrip offer available in respect of any particular dividend. Should the directors decide not to offer the scrip in respect of any particular dividend, cash will automatically be paid instead. The directors may determine in relation to any scrip dividend plan or programme how the costs of the programme will be met, the minimum number of ordinary shares required in order to be able to participate in the programme and any arrangements to deal with legal and practical difficulties in any particular territory. Apart from shareholders’ rights to share in BP’s profits by dividend (if any is declared or announced), BP’s Articles of Association provide that the directors may set aside: • A special reserve fund out of the balance of profits each year to make up any deficit of cumulative dividend on the BP preference shares. • A general reserve out of the balance of profits each year, which shall be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the company may properly be applied. This may include capitalization of such sum, pursuant to an ordinary shareholders’ resolution, and distribution to shareholders as if it were distributed by way of a dividend on the ordinary shares or in paying up in full unissued ordinary shares for allotment and distribution as bonus shares. Any such sums so deposited may be distributed in accordance with the manner of distribution of dividends as described above. Holders of shares are not subject to calls on capital by the company, provided that the amounts required to be paid on issue have been paid off. All shares are fully paid. C. Voting rights BP’s Articles of Association provide that voting on resolutions at a shareholders’ meeting will be decided on a poll other than resolutions of a procedural nature, which may be decided on a show of hands. If voting is on a poll, every shareholder who is present in person or by proxy has one vote for every ordinary share held and two votes for every £5 in nominal amount of BP preference shares held. If voting is on a show of hands, each shareholder who is present at the meeting in person or whose duly appointed proxy is present in person will have one vote, regardless of the number of shares held, unless a poll is requested. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights. For the purposes of determining which persons are entitled to attend or vote at a shareholders’ meeting and how many votes such persons may cast, the company may specify in the notice of the meeting a time, not


 
4 more than 48 hours before the time of the meeting, by which a person who holds shares in registered form must be entered on the company’s register of members in order to have the right to attend or vote at the meeting or to appoint a proxy to do so. Holders on record of ordinary shares may appoint a proxy, including a beneficial owner of those shares, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at any shareholders’ meeting, provided that a duly completed proxy form is received not less than 48 hours (or such shorter time as the directors may determine) before the time of the meeting or adjourned meeting or, where the poll is to be taken after the date of the meeting, not less than 24 hours (or such shorter time as the directors may determine) before the time of the poll. Proxies may be delivered electronically. Corporations who are members of the company may appoint one or more persons to act as their representative or representatives at any shareholders’ meeting provided that the company may require a corporate representative to produce a certified copy of the resolution appointing them before they are permitted to exercise their powers. Matters are transacted at shareholders’ meetings by the proposing and passing of resolutions, of which there are two types: ordinary or special. An ordinary resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of those persons voting at a meeting at which there is a quorum. A special resolution requires the affirmative vote of not less than three quarters of the persons voting at a meeting at which there is a quorum. Any AGM requires 21 clear days’ notice. The notice period for any other general meeting is 14 clear days subject to the company obtaining annual shareholder approval, failing which, a 21 clear day notice period will apply. D. Liquidation rights; redemption provisions In the event of a liquidation of BP, after payment of all liabilities and applicable deductions under UK laws and subject to the payment of secured creditors, the holders of BP preference shares would be entitled to the sum of (1) the capital paid up on such shares plus, (2) accrued and unpaid dividends and (3) a premium equal to the higher of (a) 10% of the capital paid up on the BP preference shares and (b) the excess of the average market price over par value of such shares on the London Stock Exchange during the previous six months. The remaining assets (if any) would be divided pro rata among the holders of ordinary shares. Without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of any class of shares, BP may issue any share with such preferred, deferred or other special rights, or subject to such restrictions as the shareholders by resolution determine (or, in the absence of any such resolutions, by determination of the directors), and may issue shares that are to be or may be redeemed. Subject to authorisation by shareholder resolution, BP may purchase its own shares in accordance with the Act. E. Pre-emption rights and new issues of shares Under Section 549 of the Act, the directors are, with certain exceptions, unable to allot equity securities without the authority of the shareholders in a general meeting. The term “equity securities” as defined in the Act includes BP ordinary shares or securities convertible into BP ordinary shares. In addition, Section 561 of the Act imposes further restrictions on the issue of equity securities (as defined in the Act, which would include BP ordinary shares or securities convertible into BP ordinary shares) which are, or are to be, paid up wholly in cash and not first offered to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing


 
5 shareholdings. Holders of BP ADSs would, acting through the Depositary, be entitled to participate in any such preemptive offer. BP’s Articles of Association authorize the directors to issue equity securities subject to the provisions of the Act and any resolution passed by shareholders in general meeting (such authority is sought on an annual basis). In accordance with institutional investor guidelines, the company deems it appropriate to grant authority to the directors to allot shares and other securities and to disapply pre-emption rights by way of shareholders resolutions at each AGM in place of authority granted by virtue of the company’s Articles of Association. At the AGM on 27 May 2020, authorization was given to the directors to allot shares in the company and to grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, shares in the company up to an aggregate nominal amount as if section 561(1) of the Act (providing for pre-emption rights for the shareholders of a company in respect of allotments by such company of its equity securities) did not apply. The resolutions dis-applying pre-emption rights comply with institutional shareholder guidance and in particular the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group. These authorities were given for the period until the next AGM in 2021 or 27 August 2021, whichever is the earlier. These authorities are renewed annually at the AGM. F. Variation of rights The rights attached to any class of shares may be varied with the consent in writing of holders of 75% of the shares of that class or on the adoption of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. At every such separate meeting, all of the provisions of the Articles of Association relating to proceedings at a general meeting apply, except that the quorum with respect to a meeting to change the rights attached to the preference shares is 10% or more of the shares of that class, and the quorum to change the rights attached to the ordinary shares is one third or more of the shares of that class. G. Shareholders’ meetings and notices Shareholders must provide BP with a postal or electronic address in the UK to be entitled to receive notice of shareholders’ meetings. Holders of BP ADSs are entitled to receive notices under the terms of the deposit agreement relating to BP ADSs. The substance and timing of notices are described above under the heading Voting rights. Under the Act, the AGM of shareholders must be held once every year, within each six month period beginning with the day following the company’s accounting reference date. All general meetings shall be held at a time and place determined by the directors. If any shareholders’ meeting is adjourned for lack of quorum, notice of the time and place of the adjourned meeting may be given in any lawful manner, including electronically. Powers exist for action to be taken either before or at the meeting by authorized officers to ensure its orderly conduct and safety of those attending. The directors have power to convene a general meeting which is a hybrid meeting, that is to provide facilities for shareholders to attend a meeting which is being held at a physical place by electronic means as well (but not to convene a purely electronic meeting). The provisions of the Articles of Association in relation to satellite meetings permit facilities being provided by electronic means to allow those persons at each place to participate in the meeting. H. Limitations on voting and shareholding


 
6 There are no limitations, either under the laws of the UK or under the company’s Articles of Association, restricting the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote BP ordinary or preference shares in the company other than limitations that would generally apply to all of the shareholders and limitations applicable to certain countries and persons subject to EU economic sanctions or those sanctions adopted by the UK government which implement resolutions of the Security Council of the United Nations. I. Transfer of Shares Except as described in this paragraph, the Articles of Association do not restrict the transferability of BP ordinary shares. BP ordinary shares may be transferred by an instrument in any usual form or in any other form acceptable to the directors. The directors may refuse to register a transfer: • if it is of shares which are not fully paid; or • if it is in favor of more than four persons jointly BP may not refuse to register transfers of BP ordinary shares if it would prevent dealings in the shares on the London Stock Exchange from taking place on an open and proper basis. J. Disclosure of interests in shares The Act permits a public company to give notice to any person whom the company believes to be or, at any time during the three years prior to the issue of the notice, to have been interested in its voting shares requiring them to disclose certain information with respect to those interests. Failure to supply the information required may lead to disenfranchisement of the relevant shares and a prohibition on their transfer and receipt of dividends and other payments in respect of those shares and any new shares in the company issued in respect of those shares. In this context the term ‘interest’ is widely defined and will generally include an interest of any kind whatsoever in voting shares, including any interest of a holder of BP ADSs. There are no provisions in the BP’s Articles of Association whereby persons acquiring, holding or disposing of a certain percentage of BP’s shares are required to make disclosure of their ownership percentage, although there are such requirements under Part 6 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and Rule 5 of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules made by the Financial Conduct Authority (successor to the UK Financial Services Authority). These requirements impose a statutory obligation on a person to notify BP and the Financial Conduct Authority of the percentage of the voting rights in BP such person directly or indirectly holds or controls, or has rights over, through his direct or indirect holding of certain financial instruments, if the percentage of those voting rights: • reaches, exceeds or falls below 3% and/or any subsequent whole percentage figure as a result of an acquisition or disposal of shares or financial instruments; or • reaches, exceeds or falls below any such threshold as a result of any change in the breakdown or number of voting rights attached to shares in BP. The Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules set out in detail the circumstances in which an obligation of disclosure will arise, as well as certain exemptions from those obligations for specified persons. Under section 793 of the Act, BP may, by notice in writing, require a person that BP knows or has reasonable cause to believe is or was during the three years preceding the date of notice interested in BP’s shares to indicate whether or not that is the case and, if that person does or did hold an interest in BP’s shares, to provide certain information as set out in that Act.


 
7 Article 19 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation (2014/596) further requires persons discharging managerial responsibilities within BP (and their persons closely associated) to notify BP of transactions conducted on their own account in BP shares or derivatives or certain financial instruments relating to BP shares. The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers also imposes strict disclosure requirements with regard to dealings in the securities of an offeror or offeree company on all parties to a takeover and also on their respective associates during the course of an offer period. K. Company records and service of notice In relation to notices not covered by the Act, the reference to notice by advertisement in a national newspaper also includes advertisements via other means such as a public announcement.


 
8 II. AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES A. General The ordinary shares of BP may be issued in the form of American Depositary Shares (ADSs). Each ADS represents six ordinary shares. ADSs are listed on the NYSE. ADSs are evidenced by American depositary receipts (ADRs), which may be issued in either certificated or book entry form. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is the depositary (the “Depositary”) and transfer agent. Each ADS represents an ownership interest in six ordinary shares deposited with the custodian, as agent of the depositary, under the Second Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, dated 6 December 2013, as amended (the Deposit Agreement). The Depositary’s principal office is presently located at 383 Madison Avenue, Floor 11, New York, NY, 10179, US. You may hold ADSs either directly or indirectly through your broker or other financial institution. If you hold ADSs directly, by having an ADS registered in your name on the books of the depositary, you are an ADR holder. If you hold the ADSs through your broker or financial institution nominee, you must rely on the procedures of such broker or financial institution to assert the rights of an ADR holder described in this section. You should consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures are. The following is a summary of the material terms of the Deposit Agreement. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For more complete information, you should read the entire form of Deposit Agreement and the form of ADR, which contain the terms of the ADSs. Please refer to Exhibit 99.(A) filed on a post-effective amendment to Form F-6 (File No. 333- 144817) with the SEC on 12 June 2013, Exhibit 99.(a)(2) filed on a post-effective amendment to Form F- 6 (File No. 333-144817) with the SEC on 9 February 2017 and Exhibit 99.(a)(3) filed on a post-effective amendment to Form F-6 (File No. 333-144817) with the SEC on 27 March 2020. Copies of the Deposit Agreement are also available for inspection at the offices of the Depositary. B. Voting Procedure Record holders of BP ADSs are also entitled to attend, speak and vote at any shareholders’ meeting of BP by the appointment by the Depositary of them as proxies in respect of the ordinary shares represented by their ADSs. Each such proxy may also appoint a proxy. Alternatively, holders of BP ADSs are entitled to vote by supplying their voting instructions to the Depositary, who will vote the ordinary shares represented by their ADSs in accordance with their instructions. If ADSs are held indirectly through a brokerage account or otherwise in street name, the holder must rely on the procedures established by his or her broker or financial institution to assert the rights of ADS holders described in this section. In the event a situation arises where the aggregate number of votes to be cast by or on behalf of the Depositary at a BP shareholder meeting exceeds the total number of ordinary shares registered in the name of the Depositary or its custodian as of the record date for ordinary shares, the BP Articles of Association provide an adjustment mechanism intended to ensure that the Depositary may only vote those shares which are registered in its name at the record date for ordinary shares. The adjustment may be made on a pro rata basis or may be made with respect to specific votes. In any circumstance where the Depositary is unable to make an adjustment, the chairman may make any adjustment of the votes to be cast by or on behalf of the Depositary on a pro rata basis or in such other manner as may have been prescribed by regulations or procedures established by the directors.


 
9 Except in respect of an adjustment of votes as described in the preceding paragraph, if any question arises as to whether an ADS holder, as proxy for the Depositary, or the proxy of an ADS holder, has been validly appointed to vote (or exercise any other right), according to BP’s Articles of Association the question shall be determined: • by the chairman of the meeting or in accordance with procedures established by the board of directors, if such question arises at or in relation to a general shareholders meeting; or • by the board of directors at their discretion, if such question arises in any other circumstances. The Depositary or BP will notify direct ADS holders of the upcoming meeting and arrange to distribute certain materials to such holders. The materials will: • contain such information as is contained in the meeting’s notice or in the solicitation materials; and • explain how ADS holders may instruct the Depositary to vote the ordinary shares or other deposited securities (if any) underlying ADSs if the ADS holder appoints the Depositary as proxy, or how an ADS holder may appoint a proxy other than the Depositary. ADS holders may also vote directly as an ordinary shareholder by withdrawing from the Depositary at least six of the BP ordinary shares underlying one of their ADSs. C. Share Dividends and Other Distributions The Depositary will pay to ADS holders the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on ordinary shares or any other deposited securities, after deducting any applicable fees and expenses. The Depositary may also, pursuant to BP’s Articles of Association, request BP to pay to the ADS holder directly the cash dividends or other distributions, if the ADSs are held directly. ADS holders will receive those distributions in proportion to the number or of ordinary shares represented by their ADSs. ADS holders will generally receive cash dividends payable on ordinary shares or any other deposited securities in U.S. dollars. To the extent that BP pays any cash dividend other than in U.S. dollars, the Depositary will convert such dividend into U.S. dollars and distribute the amount received in U.S. dollars except where the Depositary determines that in its judgment any foreign currency received by it cannot be converted on a reasonable basis into U.S. dollars transferable in the U.S. or if any governmental approval for payment in U.S. dollars is required and cannot be obtained with a reasonable cost or within a reasonable time period. In that circumstance the Deposit Agreement allows the Depositary to distribute, subject to applicable laws and regulations, foreign currency only to those ADS holders who are entitled to receive payment in foreign currency. It will hold the foreign currency it cannot convert for the account of ADS holders who have not been paid. It will not invest the foreign currency and it will not be liable for any interest. Before making a distribution the Depositary deducts any withholding taxes. The Depositary will distribute only whole U.S. dollars and cents. Fractional cents will be withheld without liability and dealt with by the Depositary in accordance with its then current practices. If the exchange rates fluctuate during a time when the Depositary cannot convert the foreign currency, holders may lose some or all of the value of the distribution depending on the extent of such currency fluctuation. The Depositary may distribute new ADSs representing any shares BP distributes as a dividend or free distribution, if BP requests it to make this distribution. The Depositary may issue fractional ADSs only in connection with such share distributions. Fractional ADSs may only be issued through the direct registration


 
10 system maintained by the Depositary. If the Depositary does not distribute additional ADSs, each ADS will also represent the proportion of the new shares allocable to such ADS. If BP offers holders of its securities any rights to subscribe for additional shares or any other rights, BP may make these rights available to holders of ADSs by means of warrants or otherwise, if lawful and feasible. If it is not lawful and not feasible and it is practical to sell the rights, the Depositary may in its discretion sell the rights and distribute the proceeds to ADS holders in the same way as it does with cash. The Depositary may allow rights that are not distributed or sold to lapse. In that case, holders of ADSs will receive no value for them. The Deposit Agreement provides that in respect of any other distributions the Depositary will make distributions to ADS holders by any means the Depositary thinks is equitable and practical, including the sale of what BP distributed and distribute the net proceeds, in the same way as it does with cash, or it may adopt such other methods it deems equitable and practical. The Depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any ADS holders. BP has no obligation to register ADSs, shares, rights or other securities under the Securities Act of 1933. It also has no obligation to take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, shares, rights or anything else to ADS holders. This means that ADS holders may not receive the distributions BP makes on its shares or any value for them if it is unlawful or impractical for them to be made available to ADS holders. D. Deposit, Withdrawal and Cancellation ADS holders who hold or acquire ordinary shares may deposit them with the Depositary or custodian for the Depositary and hold ADSs instead. Where ordinary shares are deposited with the custodian they will be held by the custodian for the account and to the order of the Depositary. To the extent that an ADS holder is requested to do so by the custodian for the Depositary, an ADS holder must deliver to it the following: • certificates or other instruments of title for the ordinary shares to be deposited, properly endorsed and in a form satisfactory to the custodian; • a written order directing the Depositary to issue to an ADS holder, or upon the written order of an ADS holder, ADRs evidencing the number of ADSs which will represent the number of ordinary shares deposited; • any required payments; • an instrument which provides for the prompt transfer to the custodian of any dividend, right to subscribe for additional ordinary shares or right to receive other property--or, in lieu of such a transfer instrument, an agreement of indemnity; and • any other required documents. The custodian will then as soon as practicable present the ordinary shares for registration of the transfer into the name of the custodian, or its nominee, and notify the Depositary that the registration occurred. The deposit of the ordinary shares will be done at the ADS holder’s cost and expense. Once the Depositary receives notice of the deposit, it shall issue to an ADS holder American Depositary receipts evidencing the number of ADSs to which that holder is entitled. ADSs will be issued in book-entry form, unless an ADS holder specifically requests them in certificated form.


 
11 ADS holders may deposit ordinary shares directly with the Depositary for the purpose of having them forwarded to the custodian, but a charge will apply and delivery will be at the holder’s risk. Where an ADS holder wishes to hold ordinary shares instead of ADSs, the holder must submit a written order to the Depositary to withdraw ordinary shares from deposit and surrender the ADSs at the Depositary’s office. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, the Depositary will deliver the underlying shares at the office of the custodian. At the holder’s request, risk and expense, the Depositary may also deliver the deposited securities at office or any other place specified by the holder. Fractional shares are not deliverable on the cancellation of ADSs and, to the extent the cancellation of ADSs would give rise to the delivery of a fractional share, the Depositary will promptly advise the holder and will either deliver a new ADR in book entry form evidencing such fractional ADS or arrange to sell the fractional share and deliver the net proceeds from such sale net of the costs and expenses of such sale to the holder entitled thereto. E. Amendment and Termination BP may agree with the Depositary to amend the Deposit Agreement and the ADRs without the consent of ADR holders, and for any reason. If the amendment adds or increases fees or charges, except for taxes and governmental charges, or prejudices an important right of ADR holders, it will only become effective 30 days after the Depositary notifies ADR holders of the amendment. At the time an amendment becomes effective, ADR holders are considered to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended. However, no amendment will impair the right of an ADS holder to receive the deposited securities in exchange for ADRs, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. The Depositary will terminate the Deposit Agreement if BP asks it to do so, in which case it must notify ADR holders at least 30 days before termination. The Depositary may also terminate the Deposit Agreement after notifying ADR holders. If the Depositary informs BP that it would like to resign and BP does not appoint a new depositary within 60 days, the Depositary is subject to certain obligations with respect to distributions and deposited securities which are set forth in the Deposit Agreement. F. Reports and Other Communications The Depositary will make available for inspection by holders at its office and at any other designated transfer offices any reports and other communications received from BP which are made generally available to the holders of ordinary shares by BP and will arrange for the transmittal or, when requested by BP, otherwise make available to holders copies of such reports and communications, as provided in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary will also make available at its offices a register for the transfer of ADRs, which at all reasonable times will be open for the inspection of holders. G. Reclassifications, Recapitalizations and Mergers If BP: • changes the par value of, splits, cancels, consolidates or otherwise reclassifies any of the BP ordinary shares; or • recapitalizes, reorganizes, merges, consolidates, sells its assets, or takes any similar action, then: (1) The cash, ordinary shares or other securities received by the Depositary automatically will become new deposited securities under the Deposit Agreement, and each ADR will


 
12 represent its equal share of the new deposited securities unless additional ADRs are delivered as in the case of a stock dividend; and (2) The Depositary will, if BP asks it to, issue new ADSs or ask the ADR holder to surrender outstanding ADRs in exchange for new ADRs identifying the new deposited securities. H. Limitations on Obligations and Liability to ADR Holders The Deposit Agreement expressly limits the obligations of BP and the Depositary. It also limits their liability. Pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, BP and the Depositary: • are obliged only to take the actions specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith; • are not liable if either of them is prevented or delayed by law, any provision of the BP Articles of Association or circumstances beyond their control from performing their obligations under the Deposit Agreement; • are not liable if either of them exercises, or fails to exercise, any discretion permitted under the agreement; • have no obligation to become involved in a lawsuit or proceeding related to the ADRs or the Deposit Agreement on an ADR holder’s behalf or on behalf of any other party unless they are indemnified to their satisfaction; • may rely upon any advice of or information from any legal counsel, accountants, any person depositing ordinary shares, any ADR holder or any other person whom they believe in good faith is competent to give them that advice or information; • may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice or other document believed by them to be genuine; and • shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the ordinary shares. In the Deposit Agreement, BP and the Depositary agree to indemnify each other under specified circumstances.


 
13 III. DEBT SECURITIES Each series of notes listed on the New York Stock Exchange and set forth on the cover page to BP’s Annual Report and Form 20-F 2020 has been issued by BP Capital Markets plc.

60 • applying the applicable Interest Rate to the Calculation Amount; • multiplying the product thereof by the Day Count Fraction; and • rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards). • The relevant amount of interest payable in respect of the notes for any period shall be the product of: (i) the relevant amount of interest per Calculation Amount determined as described above; and (ii) the number by which the Calculation Amount is required to be multiplied to equal the principal amount of the notes. • “Calculation Amount” means $1,000. • “Day Count Fraction” means 30/360.

Any such substitution or variation in accordance with the foregoing provisions following a Substitution or Variation Event shall only be permitted if it does not give rise to any other Substitution or Variation Event with respect to the Qualifying Securities. Any such substitution or variation in accordance with the foregoing provisions following a Substitution or Variation Event shall only be permitted if it does not result in the Qualifying Securities no longer being eligible for the same, or a higher amount of, “equity credit” (or such other nomenclature that the Rating Agency may then use to describe the degree to which an instrument exhibits the characteristics of an ordinary share) as is attributed to the relevant notes on the date notice is given to Noteholders of the substitution or variation. In no event shall the Trustee have any responsibility whatsoever to determine whether any such substitution or variation results in the Qualifying Securities. Any such substitution or variance could have unexpected commercial consequences depending on the circumstances of an individual Noteholder, and we will consider the impact on the class of Noteholders taken as a whole and are not required to take into account the individual circumstances of each Noteholder. “Qualifying Securities” means securities that contain terms not materially less favorable to the class of Noteholders of the Non-Call 5.25 Notes or Non-Call 10 Notes, as the case may be, and in each case taken as a whole, than the terms of the respective notes (as reasonably determined by BP Capital U.K. (in consultation with an independent investment bank or counsel of international standing)) and provided that an officers’ certificate to such effect (and confirming that the conditions set out in (a) to (j) below have been satisfied) shall have been delivered to the Trustee prior to the substitution or variation of the relevant notes upon which certificate the Trustee shall rely absolutely). Such Qualifying Securities: a) shall be issued by (x) BP Capital U.K. (or any successor thereto as issuer of the relevant notes) with a guarantee of BP (or any successor thereto as guarantor of the relevant notes), (y) BP or (z) a wholly owned direct or indirect finance subsidiary of BP with a guarantee of BP (or any successor thereto as guarantor of the relevant notes); and b) (and/or, as appropriate, the guarantee as aforesaid) shall rank pari passu on a Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. (or any successor thereto as issuer of the relevant notes) with the relevant notes or on a Winding-Up of BP (or any successor thereto as guarantor of the relevant notes) with the Guarantee; and c) shall contain terms which provide for the same or a more favorable Interest Rate from time to time applying to the relevant notes and preserve the same Interest Payment Dates; and


 
62 d) shall preserve the obligations (including the obligations arising from the exercise of any right) of BP Capital U.K. (or any successor thereto as issuer of the relevant notes) as to redemption of the relevant notes, including (without limitation) as to timing of, and amounts payable upon, such redemption; and e) shall preserve any existing rights under the terms of the relevant notes to any accrued interest, any Deferred Interest Payments, any Arrears of Interest and any other amounts payable under the relevant notes which, in each case, has accrued to Noteholders and not been paid; and f) shall not contain terms providing for loss absorption through principal write-down or conversion to ordinary shares; and g) shall otherwise contain substantially identical terms (as reasonably determined by BP Capital U.K. (or any successor thereto as issuer of the relevant notes)) to the relevant notes, save where (without prejudice to the requirement that the terms are not materially less favorable to the class of relevant Noteholders taken as a whole than the terms of the relevant notes as described above) any modifications to such terms are required to be made to avoid the occurrence or effect of a Rating Agency Event, an Accounting Event, a Tax Deduction Event or an event that permits an Optional Tax Redemption to occur; and h) shall, immediately after such substitution or variation, be assigned at least the same credit rating(s) by the same Rating Agencies as may have been assigned to the relevant notes at the invitation of or with the consent of BP Capital U.K. (or any successor thereto as issuer of the relevant notes) immediately prior to such substitution or variation; and i) shall not provide for the mandatory deferral or cancellation of payments of interest and/or principal; and j) shall be (x) listed on the Official List and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange plc’s Main Market or (y) listed on such other stock exchange as is a Recognised Stock Exchange at that time or admitted to trading on a Multilateral Trading Facility as selected by BP Capital U.K (or any successor thereto as issuer of the relevant notes). For the purposes of the definition of Qualifying Securities: “Multilateral Trading Facility” means a multilateral trading facility described in section 987(1)(b) of the Income Tax Act 2007 of the United Kingdom, as the same may be amended from time to time and any provision, statute or statutory instrument replacing the same from time to time; “Official List” means the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority in its capacity as competent authority under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the United Kingdom (as the same may be amended from time to time and any provision, statute or statutory instrument replacing the same from time to time); and “Recognised Stock Exchange” means a recognised stock exchange as defined in section 1005 of the Income Tax Act 2007 of the United Kingdom as the same may be amended from time to time and any provision, statute or statutory instrument replacing the same from time to time.


 
63 • Events of Default Provisions • An Event of Default under the relevant notes occurs only in the event of a Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. or BP other than for the purposes of a Solvent Reorganization of BP Capital U.K. or BP. If, for a period of 30 days or more, BP Capital U.K. or BP are in default in the payment of any principal or interest (including any Arrears of Interest) in respect of the relevant notes which is due and payable (a “Payment Default”), then BP Capital U.K. and/or BP, as the case may be, will be deemed to be in default under the Indenture and the relevant notes, and the Trustee may, and if instructed by the holders as described in “— Entitlement of the Trustee” below shall, take such actions as set forth under “— Proceedings” or “—Enforcement” below to institute actions, steps or proceedings for the Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. and/or BP. For the avoidance of doubt, a Payment Default is not an Event of Default and shall not result in any right of Acceleration pursuant to Section 502 of the Indenture. • Proceedings: If a Payment Default occurs and is continuing, then BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, shall, without notice from the Trustee, be deemed to be in default under the Indenture and the relevant notes and (subject to the provisions set forth below) the Trustee may, and if instructed by the holders as described in “—Entitlement of the Trustee” below shall, institute actions, steps or proceedings for the Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. and/or BP and/or prove in the Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. and/or BP and/or claim in the liquidation or administration of BP Capital U.K. and/or BP, such claim being subordinated, and for the amount, as provided in “—Subordination and Waiver of Set-off Provisions”. • Enforcement: Without prejudice to “—Proceedings” and subject to the provisions set forth below, the Trustee may, and if instructed by the holders as described in “—Entitlement of the Trustee” below shall, at any time and without further notice, institute such proceedings or take such steps or actions against BP Capital U.K. and/or BP as it may think fit to enforce any term or condition binding on BP Capital U.K. and/or BP under the Indenture or the relevant notes, but in no event shall BP Capital U.K. and/or BP, by virtue of the institution of any such proceedings, steps or actions, be obliged to pay any sum or sums in cash or otherwise, sooner than the same would otherwise have been payable by it under the Indenture or the relevant notes. • Entitlement of Trustee: The Trustee shall not be bound to take any of the actions referred to in the provisions set forth under “— Proceedings” or “—Enforcement” above against BP Capital U.K. and/or BP to enforce the terms of the Indenture or the relevant notes at the request of the Noteholders or take any other action or step under or pursuant to the terms of the relevant notes or the Indenture unless (i) it shall have been so requested in writing by the Noteholders of at least 25% in principal amount of the relevant notes then outstanding and (ii) it shall have been indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded by the relevant Noteholders to its satisfaction. However, if a Payment Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the request of the Noteholders of at least 25% in principal amount of the relevant notes then outstanding.


 
64 • Right of Noteholders: No Noteholder shall be entitled to proceed directly against BP Capital U.K. or BP or to institute proceedings for the Winding-Up or claim in the liquidation of BP Capital U.K. or BP or to prove in such Winding-Up unless the Trustee, having become so bound to proceed, institute, prove or claim, fails to do so within a 60 day period and such failure shall be continuing, in which case the Noteholder shall have only such rights against BP Capital U.K. or BP as those which the Trustee is entitled to exercise as set out in this section. • Extent of Noteholders’ Remedy: No remedy against BP Capital U.K. or BP, other than as referred to in the relevant prospectus supplement, shall be available to the Trustee or the Noteholders, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of the relevant notes or under the Indenture or in respect of any breach by BP Capital U.K. or BP of any of their other obligations under or in respect of the relevant notes or under the Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing shall (i) prevent the Trustee from proving in any Winding-Up (otherwise than for the purposes of a Solvent Reorganization of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be) or administration of BP Capital U.K. or BP and/or claiming in any liquidation of BP Capital U.K. or BP (even if not instituted by the Trustee), or (ii) impair the right of any Noteholder to receive payment of principal, premium or interest (including Arrears of Interest) on such noteholder’s notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such noteholder’s notes. • Defined Terms: The following definitions shall apply to subordination of the notes and subordination of the guarantee provisions: • “Notional Preference Shares” means, with respect to BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, a notional class of preference shares in the capital of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be: (i) ranking junior to the claims of all holders of Senior Obligations of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be; (ii) having an equal right to return of assets in the Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, and so ranking pari passu with any Parity Obligations of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be; and (iii) having a right to return of capital ahead of, and so ranking ahead of, the claims of holders of the Ordinary Shares of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be. • “Parity Obligations” means, with respect to BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be: (a) the most junior class of preference share capital of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be; and (b) any other security, guarantee or other instrument issued by, or any other obligation of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, which ranks or is expressed to rank pari passu with BP Capital U.K.’s obligations under the Notes or BP’s obligations under the Guarantee, including the Other Hybrid Capital Notes. • “Ordinary Shares” means (i) any ordinary shares in the capital of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, or (ii) any present or future shares of any other class of shares of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, ranking pari passu with the ordinary shares of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be or, in either case, any depository or other receipts or certificates, including American depositary receipts representing such shares. • “Senior Obligations” means all obligations of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, but excluding any Parity Obligations and any Ordinary Shares of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be.


 
65 Description of 4.875% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 10 Fixed Rate Reset Notes The following terms are applicable to the 4.875% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 10 Fixed Rate Reset Notes. • Issuer: BP Capital U.K. • Title: 4.875% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 10 Fixed Rate Reset Notes • Total principal amount outstanding: $2,500,000,000 • Issuance date: June 22, 2020 • Maturity date: The notes are perpetual securities in respect of which there is no fixed redemption date. BP Capital U.K. shall only have the right to redeem, purchase or substitute or vary the notes in accordance with “—Optional Redemption on Interest Payment Date”, “—Optional Redemption for Certain Events”, “—Optional Tax Redemption”, “—Substitution or Variation” as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the notes. • Ranking of the Notes: The notes are unconditional, unsecured and subordinated obligations of BP Capital U.K. and will rank pari passu without any preference among themselves and pari passu with any Parity Obligations of BP Capital U.K. but junior to any Senior Obligations of BP Capital U.K. and senior to the Ordinary Shares of BP Capital U.K. • To give effect to the intended ranking described above, if at any time a Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. occurs (otherwise than for the purposes of a Solvent Reorganization of BP Capital U.K.), the amount payable by BP Capital U.K. to a Noteholder under or in relation to such noteholder’s notes (in lieu of any other payment by BP Capital U.K. to such noteholder under or in relation to the notes, including pursuant to the terms of the notes or the Indenture) shall be the amount that would have been payable to such noteholder if, immediately prior to and throughout such Winding-Up, such noteholder was the holder of Notional Preference Shares in BP Capital U.K. For the purposes only of that calculation, in respect of each note and accrued but unpaid interest (including any outstanding Arrears of Interest in respect of such interest) a noteholder will be deemed to hold a Notional Preference Share in BP Capital U.K. entitling the holder thereof to receive in respect of such Notional Preference Share an amount in the Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. that is equal to the principal amount of the relevant note and any accrued but unpaid interest and any outstanding Arrears of Interest in respect of such interest (without double counting) (and, in the case of an administration, on the same assumption that shareholders were entitled to claim and recover in respect of their shares to the same degree as in a Winding- Up). Amounts payable to the noteholders of the notes pursuant to this provision will only be paid after the debts owing to the holders of the Senior Obligations of BP Capital U.K. have been paid in full. The subordination provisions applicable to the notes will be governed by English law. • “Winding-Up” means an order being made, or an effective resolution being passed, for the winding-up of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, or an administrator of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, being appointed and such administrator giving notice that it intends to declare and distribute a dividend.


 
66 • Ranking of the Guarantee: The payment of the principal of and interest on the notes is fully guaranteed by BP. The obligations of BP under the Guarantee are unconditional, unsecured and subordinated and the rights and claims of noteholders will rank pari passu without any preference among themselves and pari passu with any Parity Obligations of BP but junior to any Senior Obligations of BP and senior to the Ordinary Shares of BP. • To give effect to the intended ranking described above, if at any time a Winding-Up of BP occurs (otherwise than for the purposes of a Solvent Reorganization of BP), the amount payable by BP to a noteholder under or in relation to the Guarantee (in lieu of any other payment by BP to such noteholder under or in relation to the Guarantee), shall be the amount that would have been payable to such noteholder if, immediately prior to and throughout such Winding-Up, such noteholder was the holder of Notional Preference Shares in BP. For the purposes only of that calculation, in respect of each note and accrued but unpaid interest (including any outstanding Arrears of Interest in respect of such interest payment) a noteholder will be deemed to hold a Notional Preference Share in BP entitling the holder thereof to receive in respect of such Notional Preference Share an amount in the Winding-Up of BP that is equal to the principal amount of the relevant note and any accrued but unpaid interest and any outstanding Arrears of Interest in respect of such interest (without double counting) (and, in the case of an administration, on the assumption that the shareholders were entitled to claim and recover in respect of their shares to the same degree as in a Winding-Up). For the purpose of construing the provisions of the Guarantee and BP’s payment obligations in respect thereof, the latter amounts shall be treated as due and payable by the Issuer on the date such Winding-Up order of BP Capital U.K. is made or such resolution is passed or notice is given, as the case may be and, consequently, a claim under the Guarantee in respect of such amount may be made on, or at any time after, such date. Amounts payable to the noteholder upon Winding-Up will only be paid after the debts owing to the holders of the Senior Obligations of BP have been paid in full. The subordination provisions applicable to the Guarantee will be governed by English law. • Deferral of Interest: BP Capital U.K. may elect, in its sole discretion, to defer payment of the amount of interest (in whole or in part) (a “Deferred Interest Payment”) due on any Interest Payment Date in respect of the notes. Such Deferred Interest Payments will accrue additional interest at the relevant interest rate prevailing from time to time (which will also be added to any Deferred Interest Payments on each subsequent Interest Payment Date and accrue interest in the same manner). Any such deferred payments and any additional interest thereon are referred to as “Arrears of Interest”. BP Capital U.K. must pay Arrears of Interest in respect of the relevant notes upon the date for redemption of all the relevant notes or in certain other limited circumstances. • Interest rate: (a) 4.875% per annum, for the period from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) the relevant First Reset Date and (b) from (and including) the relevant First Reset Date, at an Interest Rate per annum equal to the relevant Reset Interest Rate, in each case on the outstanding principal amount of the Notes. • Reset Date: The Reset Dates will be (a) the relevant First Reset Date and (b) each date that falls five, or a multiple of five, years following the relevant First Reset Date. • First Reset Date: The First Reset Date will be June 22, 2030. • Reset Determination Date: The Reset Determination Date will be the day falling two Business Days prior to the relevant Reset Date.


 
67 • Reset Interest Rate: The Reset Interest Rate, in relation to any Reset Period, is the sum of the relevant Five-Year Treasury Rate, calculated as provided for in the relevant Prospectus Supplement, in relation to that Reset Period plus the Margin applicable to that Reset Period. • Reset Period: The period from (and including) the relevant First Reset Date to (but excluding) the next relevant Reset Date, and each successive period from (and including) a Reset Date to (but excluding) the next succeeding Reset Date. • Date interest starts accruing: June 22, 2020 • Interest payment dates: Each June 22 and December 22, subject to the day count convention and the Optional Interest Deferral described in the relevant Prospectus Supplement. • Interest Periods: The period beginning on (and including) the Issue Date and ending on (but excluding) the first Interest Payment Date and each successive period beginning on (and including) an Interest Payment Date and ending on (but excluding) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. • First interest payment date: December 22, 2020 • Interest Amount: Subject to Optional Interest Deferral, the amount of interest payable in respect of the Calculation Amount on each Interest Payment Date to (and including) the relevant First Reset Date shall be, with respect to the Non-Call 10 Notes, $24.38. Subject to Optional Interest Deferral, the amount of interest payable in respect of the Calculation Amount for any other period for which interest is to be calculated shall be calculated by: • applying the applicable Interest Rate to the Calculation Amount; • multiplying the product thereof by the Day Count Fraction; and • rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards). • The relevant amount of interest payable in respect of the notes for any period shall be the product of: (i) the relevant amount of interest per Calculation Amount determined as described above; and (ii) the number by which the Calculation Amount is required to be multiplied to equal the principal amount of the notes. • “Calculation Amount” means $1,000. • “Day Count Fraction” means 30/360. Where it is necessary to calculate an amount of interest in respect of any Note for a period which is less than or equal to a complete Interest Period, such interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each and, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed. • Optional redemption: Subject to applicable laws, BP Capital U.K. may, by giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and the relevant Noteholders in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in the Indenture (which notice shall be irrevocable), redeem the relevant notes (in whole but not in part) on the First Call Date, which shall be March 22, 2030, and on any day thereafter to (and including) the First Reset Date, which shall be June 22, 2030, or on any Interest Payment Date thereafter, at their outstanding principal amount plus any accrued but


 
68 unpaid interest up to (but excluding) the relevant Redemption Date and any outstanding Arrears of Interest (without double counting). • Outstanding Liabilities: As of December 31, 2020 the total finance debt and lease liabilities of the BP group, all of which would rank senior to the notes and the related guarantee upon liquidation, equaled approximately $81,926,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. This does not include obligations of the subsidiaries of BP (other than BP Capital Markets U.K.), to which the obligations of BP under the Guarantee are structurally subordinated. As of December 31, 2020, BP had outstanding 5,473,414 cumulative second preference shares of £1 each, which will rank as Parity Obligations to the Guarantee as of the Issue Date. As of December 31, 2020, BP also had outstanding 7,232,838 cumulative first preference shares of £1 each, which will rank as Senior Obligations to the Guarantee as of the Issue Date. • Limitations on the Issuance of Additional Senior Indebtedness: None of the notes, the guarantee or the indenture under which the notes were issued restrict BP Capital U.K. or BP from issuing additional securities (including preference shares or other equity securities) which will be deemed Parity Obligations or Senior Obligations of the notes and Guarantee, as applicable. • Substitution or Variation: If a Rating Agency Event, an Accounting Event, a Tax Deduction Event or an event that permits an Optional Tax Redemption to occur (a “Substitution or Variation Event”) has occurred and is continuing, then BP Capital U.K. or BP may, as an alternative to redemption, subject to the conditions set forth under “—Conditions to Special Event Redemption and Substitution or Variation” in the applicable Prospectus Supplement (without any requirement for the consent or approval of the Noteholders) and subject to the Trustee, immediately prior to the giving of any notice referred to herein, having received an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel (each as defined in the Indenture), each stating to the effect that the provisions of this section have been complied with, and having given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee, the Calculation Agent and the relevant Noteholders (which notice shall be irrevocable), at any time either (i) substitute all, but not less than all, of the relevant notes for, or (ii) vary the terms of the relevant notes with the effect that they remain or become (as the case may be), Qualifying Securities, and the Noteholders shall be bound by such substitution or variation. Upon expiry of such notice, BP Capital U.K. or BP will either vary the terms of or, as the case may be, substitute the relevant notes in accordance with this section. In connection with the substitution of Qualifying Securities for the relevant notes or the variation of the terms of the relevant notes, each Noteholder by the purchase of the relevant notes authorizes the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall, authenticate such new notes in accordance with Section 303 of the Indenture. In connection with any substitution or variation in accordance with this section, BP Capital U.K. will comply with the rules of any stock exchange on which the relevant notes are for the time being listed or admitted to trading. Any such substitution or variation in accordance with the foregoing provisions following a Substitution or Variation Event shall only be permitted if it does not give rise to any other Substitution or Variation Event with respect to the Qualifying Securities. Any such substitution or variation in accordance with the foregoing provisions following a Substitution or Variation Event shall only be permitted if it does not result in the Qualifying Securities no longer being eligible for the same, or a higher amount of, “equity credit” (or such other nomenclature that the Rating Agency may then use to describe the degree to which an instrument exhibits the characteristics of an ordinary share) as is attributed to the relevant notes on the date notice is given to Noteholders of the substitution or variation. In no event shall the Trustee have any responsibility whatsoever to determine whether any such substitution or variation results in the Qualifying Securities. Any such substitution or variance could have unexpected commercial consequences depending on the circumstances of an individual Noteholder, and we will consider the impact on


 
69 the class of Noteholders taken as a whole and are not required to take into account the individual circumstances of each Noteholder. “Qualifying Securities” means securities that contain terms not materially less favorable to the class of Noteholders of the Non-Call 5.25 Notes or Non-Call 10 Notes, as the case may be, and in each case taken as a whole, than the terms of the respective notes (as reasonably determined by BP Capital U.K. (in consultation with an independent investment bank or counsel of international standing)) and provided that an officers’ certificate to such effect (and confirming that the conditions set out in (a) to (j) below have been satisfied) shall have been delivered to the Trustee prior to the substitution or variation of the relevant notes upon which certificate the Trustee shall rely absolutely). Such Qualifying Securities: a) shall be issued by (x) BP Capital U.K. (or any successor thereto as issuer of the relevant notes) with a guarantee of BP (or any successor thereto as guarantor of the relevant notes), (y) BP or (z) a wholly owned direct or indirect finance subsidiary of BP with a guarantee of BP (or any successor thereto as guarantor of the relevant notes); and b) (and/or, as appropriate, the guarantee as aforesaid) shall rank pari passu on a Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. (or any successor thereto as issuer of the relevant notes) with the relevant notes or on a Winding-Up of BP (or any successor thereto as guarantor of the relevant notes) with the Guarantee; and c) shall contain terms which provide for the same or a more favorable Interest Rate from time to time applying to the relevant notes and preserve the same Interest Payment Dates; and d) shall preserve the obligations (including the obligations arising from the exercise of any right) of BP Capital U.K. (or any successor thereto as issuer of the relevant notes) as to redemption of the relevant notes, including (without limitation) as to timing of, and amounts payable upon, such redemption; and e) shall preserve any existing rights under the terms of the relevant notes to any accrued interest, any Deferred Interest Payments, any Arrears of Interest and any other amounts payable under the relevant notes which, in each case, has accrued to Noteholders and not been paid; and f) shall not contain terms providing for loss absorption through principal write-down or conversion to ordinary shares; and g) shall otherwise contain substantially identical terms (as reasonably determined by BP Capital U.K. (or any successor thereto as issuer of the relevant notes)) to the relevant notes, save where (without prejudice to the requirement that the terms are not materially less favorable to the class of relevant Noteholders taken as a whole than the terms of the relevant notes as described above) any modifications to such terms are required to be made to avoid the occurrence or effect of a Rating Agency Event, an Accounting Event, a Tax Deduction Event or an event that permits an Optional Tax Redemption to occur; and h) shall, immediately after such substitution or variation, be assigned at least the same credit rating(s) by the same Rating Agencies as may have been assigned to the relevant notes at the invitation of or with the consent of BP Capital U.K. (or any successor thereto as issuer of the relevant notes) immediately prior to such substitution or variation; and


 
70 i) shall not provide for the mandatory deferral or cancellation of payments of interest and/or principal; and j) shall be (x) listed on the Official List and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange plc’s Main Market or (y) listed on such other stock exchange as is a Recognised Stock Exchange at that time or admitted to trading on a Multilateral Trading Facility as selected by BP Capital U.K (or any successor thereto as issuer of the relevant notes). For the purposes of the definition of Qualifying Securities: “Multilateral Trading Facility” means a multilateral trading facility described in section 987(1)(b) of the Income Tax Act 2007 of the United Kingdom, as the same may be amended from time to time and any provision, statute or statutory instrument replacing the same from time to time; “Official List” means the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority in its capacity as competent authority under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the United Kingdom (as the same may be amended from time to time and any provision, statute or statutory instrument replacing the same from time to time); and “Recognised Stock Exchange” means a recognised stock exchange as defined in section 1005 of the Income Tax Act 2007 of the United Kingdom as the same may be amended from time to time and any provision, statute or statutory instrument replacing the same from time to time. • Events of Default Provisions • An Event of Default under the relevant notes occurs only in the event of a Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. or BP other than for the purposes of a Solvent Reorganization of BP Capital U.K. or BP. If, for a period of 30 days or more, BP Capital U.K. or BP are in default in the payment of any principal or interest (including any Arrears of Interest) in respect of the relevant notes which is due and payable (a “Payment Default”), then BP Capital U.K. and/or BP, as the case may be, will be deemed to be in default under the Indenture and the relevant notes, and the Trustee may, and if instructed by the holders as described in “— Entitlement of the Trustee” below shall, take such actions as set forth under “— Proceedings” or “—Enforcement” below to institute actions, steps or proceedings for the Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. and/or BP. For the avoidance of doubt, a Payment Default is not an Event of Default and shall not result in any right of Acceleration pursuant to Section 502 of the Indenture. • Proceedings: If a Payment Default occurs and is continuing, then BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, shall, without notice from the Trustee, be deemed to be in default under the Indenture and the relevant notes and (subject to the provisions set forth below) the Trustee may, and if instructed by the holders as described in “—Entitlement of the Trustee” below shall, institute actions, steps or proceedings for the Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. and/or BP and/or prove in the Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. and/or BP and/or claim in the liquidation or administration of BP Capital U.K. and/or BP, such claim being subordinated, and for the amount, as provided in “—Subordination and Waiver of Set-off Provisions”.


 
71 • Enforcement: Without prejudice to “—Proceedings” and subject to the provisions set forth below, the Trustee may, and if instructed by the holders as described in “—Entitlement of the Trustee” below shall, at any time and without further notice, institute such proceedings or take such steps or actions against BP Capital U.K. and/or BP as it may think fit to enforce any term or condition binding on BP Capital U.K. and/or BP under the Indenture or the relevant notes, but in no event shall BP Capital U.K. and/or BP, by virtue of the institution of any such proceedings, steps or actions, be obliged to pay any sum or sums in cash or otherwise, sooner than the same would otherwise have been payable by it under the Indenture or the relevant notes. • Entitlement of Trustee: The Trustee shall not be bound to take any of the actions referred to in the provisions set forth under “— Proceedings” or “—Enforcement” above against BP Capital U.K. and/or BP to enforce the terms of the Indenture or the relevant notes at the request of the Noteholders or take any other action or step under or pursuant to the terms of the relevant notes or the Indenture unless (i) it shall have been so requested in writing by the Noteholders of at least 25% in principal amount of the relevant notes then outstanding and (ii) it shall have been indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded by the relevant Noteholders to its satisfaction. However, if a Payment Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the request of the Noteholders of at least 25% in principal amount of the relevant notes then outstanding. • Right of Noteholders: No Noteholder shall be entitled to proceed directly against BP Capital U.K. or BP or to institute proceedings for the Winding-Up or claim in the liquidation of BP Capital U.K. or BP or to prove in such Winding-Up unless the Trustee, having become so bound to proceed, institute, prove or claim, fails to do so within a 60 day period and such failure shall be continuing, in which case the Noteholder shall have only such rights against BP Capital U.K. or BP as those which the Trustee is entitled to exercise as set out in this section. • Extent of Noteholders’ Remedy: No remedy against BP Capital U.K. or BP, other than as referred to in the relevant prospectus supplement, shall be available to the Trustee or the Noteholders, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of the relevant notes or under the Indenture or in respect of any breach by BP Capital U.K. or BP of any of their other obligations under or in respect of the relevant notes or under the Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing shall (i) prevent the Trustee from proving in any Winding-Up (otherwise than for the purposes of a Solvent Reorganization of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be) or administration of BP Capital U.K. or BP and/or claiming in any liquidation of BP Capital U.K. or BP (even if not instituted by the Trustee), or (ii) impair the right of any Noteholder to receive payment of principal, premium or interest (including Arrears of Interest) on such noteholder’s notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such noteholder’s notes. • Defined Terms: The following definitions shall apply to subordination of the notes and subordination of the guarantee provisions:


 
72 • “Notional Preference Shares” means, with respect to BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, a notional class of preference shares in the capital of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be: (i) ranking junior to the claims of all holders of Senior Obligations of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be; (ii) having an equal right to return of assets in the Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, and so ranking pari passu with any Parity Obligations of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be; and (iii) having a right to return of capital ahead of, and so ranking ahead of, the claims of holders of the Ordinary Shares of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be. • “Parity Obligations” means, with respect to BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be: (a) the most junior class of preference share capital of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be; and (b) any other security, guarantee or other instrument issued by, or any other obligation of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, which ranks or is expressed to rank pari passu with BP Capital U.K.’s obligations under the Notes or BP’s obligations under the Guarantee, including the Other Hybrid Capital Notes. • “Ordinary Shares” means (i) any ordinary shares in the capital of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, or (ii) any present or future shares of any other class of shares of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, ranking pari passu with the ordinary shares of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be or, in either case, any depository or other receipts or certificates, including American depositary receipts representing such shares. • “Senior Obligations” means all obligations of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be, but excluding any Parity Obligations and any Ordinary Shares of BP Capital U.K. or BP, as the case may be. B. Other Terms Applicable to All Notes The following terms are applicable to all Notes, except where otherwise noted. Guarantee: Payment of the principal of and interest on the notes is fully guaranteed by BP. Denomination: The notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. Regular record dates for interest: The 15th calendar day preceding each interest payment date, whether or not such day is a business day. Business day: If any payment is due in respect of the notes on a day that is not a business day, it will be made on the next following business day, provided that no interest will accrue on the payment so deferred. A “business day” for these purposes is any week day on which banking or trust institutions in neither New York nor London are authorized generally or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close. Ranking: The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated and will rank equally with all of the issuer’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, except for the 4.875% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 10 Fixed Rate Reset Notes and the 4.375% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 5.25 Fixed Rate Reset Notes, each of which ranks as specified in Section A herein. Further issuances: The issuer of the Notes may, at its sole option, at any time and without the consent of the then existing note holders issue additional notes in one or more transactions subsequent to the date of the applicable prospectus supplement with terms (other than the issuance date, issue price and, possibly, the first call date, first reset date, the first interest payment date and/or the date interest starts accruing)


 
73 identical to the notes issued under such prospectus supplement. These additional notes will be deemed part of the same series as the notes issued under such prospectus supplement and will provide the holders of these additional notes the right to vote together with holders of the notes issued under such prospectus supplement, provided that such additional notes will be issued with no more than de minimis original issue discount or will be part of a “qualified reopening” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except that in the case of the 4.375% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 5.25 Fixed Rate Reset Notes and the 4.875% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 10 Fixed Rate Reset Notes, additional notes of such series will be only issued if they are fungible with the original notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Day Count: • For Notes which are floating rate notes – Actual / 360 • For Notes which are fixed rate notes – 30/360 Day count convention: • For Notes which are floating rate notes – Modified following. If any interest payment date falls on a day that is not a business day, that interest payment date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day unless that business day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case the interest payment date will be the immediately preceding business day. • For Notes which are fixed rate notes – Following Unadjusted Trading through DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear: Initial settlement for the notes has been made in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between DTC participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC’s rules and will be settled in immediately available funds using DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System. Secondary market trading between Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, in Luxembourg (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”), customers and/or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional Eurobonds in immediately available funds. Name of depositary: The Depository Trust Company, commonly referred to as “DTC”. Sinking Fund: There is no sinking fund. Trustee: • If the issuer is BP Capital U.K., the notes have been issued under an indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank), as trustee, dated as of 8 March 2002, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture with respect to the notes entered into on the issuance date. • If the issuer is BP Capital America, the notes have been issued under an indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank), as trustee, dated as of 4 June 2003, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture with respect to the notes entered into on the issuance date.


 
74 Use of proceeds: The net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital for BP or other companies in the BP Group and the repayment of existing borrowings of BP and its subsidiaries. Governing law and jurisdiction: The indenture, the notes and the guarantee are governed by New York law, except for the subordination provisions and waiver of set-off provisions in respect of each of the 4.375% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 5.25 Fixed Rate Reset Notes and the 4.875% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 10 Fixed Rate Reset Notes, which will be governed by English law. Any legal proceeding arising out of or based upon the indenture, the notes or the guarantee may be instituted in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, New York. BP Capital U.K.’s principal executive offices are located at Chertsey Road, Sunbury on Thames, Middlesex TW16 7BP, England. BP Capital America’s principal executive offices are located at 501 Westlake Park Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77079. C. Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees The following terms are applicable to all Notes, except where otherwise specified. In the following description, “you” means direct holders of the Notes (and not street name or other indirect holders of securities).


 
75 DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEES Each of the BP Debt Issuers may issue guaranteed debt securities using this prospectus. As required by U.S. federal law for all bonds and notes of companies that are publicly offered, the debt securities are governed by a document called the indenture. BP Capital America has entered into Indenture, dated 4 June 2003, between BP Capital America., BP p.l.c. and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) as trustee. BP Capital U.K. has entered into an Indenture, dated 8 March 2002, between BP Capital U.K., BP p.l.c. and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) as trustee. The trustee under each of the indentures has two main roles: • first, it can enforce your rights against us if we default. There are some limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on your behalf, described under “Default and Related Matters—Events of Default—Remedies If an Event of Default Occurs” below; and • second, the trustee performs administrative duties for us, such as sending you interest payments, transferring your debt securities to a new buyer if you sell and sending you notices. BP acts as the guarantor of the guaranteed debt securities issued under the BP Debt Issuers’ indentures. The guarantees are described under “—Guarantees” below. The indentures and their associated documents contain the full legal text governing the matters described in this section. The indentures, the debt securities and the guarantees are governed by New York law. The indentures are exhibits to our registration statement. This section contains what we believe is a materially complete and accurate summary of the material provisions of the indentures, which are substantially identical to each other, the debt securities and the guarantees. However, because it is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the indentures, the debt securities or the guarantees. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of the indentures, including some of the terms used in the indentures. We describe the meaning for only the more important terms. We also include references in parentheses to some sections of the indentures. Whenever we refer to particular sections or defined terms of the indentures in this prospectus or in the prospectus supplement, those sections or defined terms are incorporated by reference here or in the prospectus supplement. This summary also is subject to and qualified by reference to the description of the particular terms of your series described above. The BP Debt Issuers may each issue as many distinct series of debt securities under its respective indenture as it wishes. This section summarizes all material terms of the debt securities that are common to all series, unless otherwise described above. We may issue the debt securities as original issue discount securities, which are debt securities that are offered and sold at a substantial discount to their stated principal amount. (Section 101) Special U.S. federal income tax, accounting and other considerations may apply to original issue discount securities. The applicable U.S. federal income tax considerations for original issue discount securities are described under “Original Issue Discount” below. The debt securities may also be issued as indexed securities or securities denominated in foreign currencies or currency units, as described in more detail above. Accordingly, this summary also is subject to and qualified by reference to the description of the terms of the series described above.


 
76 Unless otherwise described above, the debt securities will be issued only in fully registered form without interest coupons. Guarantees BP will fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the guaranteed debt securities, including certain additional amounts which may be payable under the guarantees, as described under “Special Situations—Payment of Additional Amounts”. BP guarantees the payment of such amounts when such amounts become due and payable, whether at the stated maturity of the debt securities, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Overview of Remainder of This Description The remainder of this description summarizes: • Additional mechanics relevant to the debt securities under normal circumstances, such as how you transfer ownership and where we make payments. • Your rights under several special situations, such as if we merge with another company or if we want to change a term of the debt securities. • Your rights to receive payment of additional amounts due to changes in U.K. tax withholding or deduction requirements. • Your rights if we default or experience other financial difficulties. • Our relationship with the trustee. Additional Mechanics Exchange and Transfer You may have your debt securities broken into more debt securities of smaller denominations or combined into fewer debt securities of larger denominations, as long as the total principal amount is not changed. (Section 305) This is called an exchange. You may exchange or transfer registered debt securities at the office of the trustee. The trustee acts as our agent for registering debt securities in the names of holders and transferring registered debt securities. We may change this appointment to another entity or perform the service ourselves. The entity performing the role of maintaining the list of registered holders is called the security registrar. It will also register transfers of the registered debt securities. (Section 305) You will not be required to pay a service charge to transfer or exchange debt securities, but you may be required to pay for any tax or other governmental charge associated with the exchange or transfer. The transfer or exchange of a registered debt security will only be made if the security registrar is satisfied with your proof of ownership. If we have designated additional transfer agents, they are described above. We may cancel the designation of any particular transfer agent. We may also approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts. (Section 1002) If the debt securities are redeemable and we redeem less than all of the debt securities of a particular series, we may block the transfer or exchange of debt securities during a specified period of time in order to freeze the list of holders to prepare the mailing. The period begins 15 days before the day we mail the notice of


 
77 redemption and ends on the day of that mailing. We may also refuse to register transfers or exchanges of debt securities selected for redemption. However, we will continue to permit transfers and exchanges of the unredeemed portion of any security being partially redeemed. (Section 305) Payment and Paying Agents We will pay interest to you if you are a direct holder listed in the trustee’s records at the close of business on a particular day in advance of each due date for interest, even if you no longer own the security on the interest due date. That particular day, usually about two weeks in advance of the interest due date, is called the regular record date and is as described above. (Section 307) We will pay interest, principal and any other money due on the registered debt securities at the corporate trust office of the trustee in Chicago, Illinois. That office is currently located at The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., 2 North LaSalle Street, Suite 700, Chicago, Illinois 60602. You must make arrangements to have your payments picked up at or wired from that office. We may also choose to pay interest by mailing checks. Interest on global securities will be paid to the holder thereof by wire transfer of same-day funds. Holders buying and selling debt securities must work out between them how to compensate for the fact that we will pay all the interest for an interest period to the one who is the registered holder on the regular record date. The most common manner is to adjust the sales price of the debt securities to pro rate interest fairly between buyer and seller. This prorated interest amount is called accrued interest. We may also arrange for additional payment offices, and may cancel or change these offices, including our use of the trustee’s corporate trust office. These offices are called paying agents. We may also choose to act as our own paying agent. We must notify you through the trustee of changes in the paying agents for any particular series of debt securities. (Section 1002) Notices We and the trustee will send notices only to direct holders, using their addresses as listed in the trustee’s records. (Section 106) Regardless of who acts as paying agent, all money that we pay to a paying agent that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after the amount is due to direct holders will be repaid to us. After that two-year period, you may look only to us for payment and not to the trustee, any other paying agent or anyone else. (Section 1006) Special Situations Mergers and Similar Events We are generally permitted to consolidate or merge with another company or firm. We are also permitted to sell or lease substantially all of our assets to another corporation or other entity or to buy or lease substantially all of the assets of another corporation or other entity. No vote by holders of debt securities approving any of these actions is required, unless as part of the transaction we make changes to the indenture requiring your approval, as described below under “—Modification and Waiver”. We may take these actions as part of a transaction involving outside third parties or as part of an internal corporate reorganization. We may take these actions even if they result in: • a lower credit rating being assigned to the debt securities; or


 
78 • additional amounts becoming payable in respect of U.K. withholding tax, and the debt securities thus being subject to redemption at our option, as described below under “—Optional Tax Redemption”. We have no obligation under the indenture to seek to avoid these results, or any other legal or financial effects that are disadvantageous to you, in connection with a merger, consolidation or sale or lease of assets that is permitted under the indenture. However, we may not take any of these actions unless all the following conditions are met: • Where a BP Debt Issuer or BP, as applicable, merges out of existence or sells or leases substantially all of its assets, the other entity must assume its obligations on the debt securities or the guarantees. Such other entity must be organized under the laws of such BP entity’s jurisdiction or a political subdivision thereof. • The merger, sale or lease of assets or other transaction must not cause a default on the debt securities, and we must not already be in default. For purposes of this no-default test, a default would include an event of default that has occurred and not been cured, as described below under “Default and Related Matters—Events of Default—What Is an Event of Default?” A default for this purpose would also include any event that would be an event of default if the requirements for giving us default notice or our default having to exist for a specific period of time were disregarded. • It is possible that the merger, sale or lease of assets or other transaction would cause some of our property to become subject to a mortgage, security interest, lien or other legal mechanism giving lenders preferential rights in that property over other lenders or over our general creditors if we fail to pay them back. • It is possible that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service may deem a merger or other similar transaction to cause an exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes of debt securities for new securities by the holders of the debt securities. This could result in the recognition of taxable gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes and possible other adverse tax consequences. Modification and Waiver There are three types of changes we can make to the indenture and the debt securities. Changes Requiring Your Approval • First, there are changes that cannot be made to your debt securities without your specific approval. We must obtain your specified approval in order to: • change the stated maturity of the principal or interest on a debt security; • reduce any amounts due on a debt security; • reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the maturity of a debt security following a default; • change the place or currency of payment on a debt security; • impair your right to sue for payment;


 
79 • reduce the percentage of holders of debt securities whose consent is needed to modify or amend the indenture; • reduce the percentage of holders of debt securities whose consent is needed to waive compliance with various provisions of the indenture or to waive various defaults; • modify any other aspect of the provisions dealing with modification and waiver of the indenture; and • change the obligations of BP to pay any principal, premium or interest under the guarantees. (Section 902) Changes Requiring a Majority Vote • The second type of change to the indenture and the debt securities is the kind that requires a vote in favor by holders of debt securities owning a majority of the principal amount of the particular series affected. Most changes fall into this category, except for clarifying changes and other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the debt securities in any material respect. The same vote would be required for us to obtain a waiver of all or part of the covenants described in this summary or a waiver of a past default. However, we cannot obtain a waiver of a payment default or any other aspect of the indenture or the debt securities listed in the first category described above under “Changes Requiring Your Approval” unless we obtain your individual consent to the waiver. (Section 513) Changes Not Requiring Approval The third type of change does not require any vote by holders of debt securities. This type is limited to clarifications and other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the debt securities in any material respect. (Section 901) Further Details Concerning Voting When taking a vote, we will use the following rules to decide how much principal amount to attribute to a security: • For original issue discount securities, we will use the principal amount that would be due and payable on the voting date if the maturity of the debt securities were accelerated to that date because of a default. • For debt securities whose principal amount is not known (for example, because it is based on an index), we will use a special rule for that security, as described above. • For debt securities denominated in one or more foreign currencies or currency units, we will use the U.S. dollar equivalent as of the date of original issuance. • Debt securities will not be considered outstanding, and therefore not eligible to vote, if we have deposited or set aside in trust for you money for their payment or redemption. Debt securities will also not be eligible to vote if they have been fully defeased as described below under “—Defeasance and Discharge”. (Section 101)


 
80 • We will generally be entitled to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding debt securities that are entitled to vote or take other action under the indenture. If we set a record date for a vote or other action to be taken by holders of a particular series, that vote or action may be taken only by persons who are holders of outstanding debt securities of that series on the record date and must be taken within 90 days following the record date or another period that we may specify (or as the trustee may specify, if it set the record date). We may shorten or lengthen (but not beyond 90 days) this period from time to time. (Sections 501, 502, 512, 513 and 902) Redemption and Repayment Unless otherwise described above, your debt security will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund—that is, we will not deposit money on a regular basis into any separate custodial account to repay your debt securities. In addition, we will not be entitled to redeem your debt security before its stated maturity unless a redemption commencement date is specified above. You will not be entitled to require us to buy your debt security from you, before its stated maturity, unless one or more repayment dates is specified above. If a redemption commencement date or a repayment date is specified above, one or more redemption prices or repayment prices may be specified, which may be expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of your debt security or by reference to one or more formulae used to determine the redemption price(s). It may also specify one or more redemption periods during which the redemption prices relating to a redemption of debt securities during those periods will apply. If a redemption commencement date is specified above, we may redeem your debt security at our option at any time on or after that date. If we redeem your debt security, we will do so at the specified redemption price, together with interest accrued to the redemption date. If different prices are specified for different redemption periods, the price we pay will be the price that applies to the redemption period during which your debt security is redeemed. If a repayment date is specified above, your debt security will be repayable by us at your option on the specified repayment date(s) at the specified repayment price(s), together with interest accrued to the repayment date. In the event that we exercise an option to redeem any debt security, we will give written notice of the principal amount of the debt security to be redeemed to the trustee at least 45 days before the applicable redemption date and to the holder not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before the applicable redemption date. We will give the notice in the manner described above under “Additional Mechanics— Notices”. If a debt security represented by a global security is subject to repayment at the holder’s option, the depositary or its nominee, as the holder, will be the only person that can exercise the right to repayment. Any indirect holders who own beneficial interests in the global security and wish to exercise a repayment right must give proper and timely instructions to their banks or brokers through which they hold their interests, requesting that they notify the depositary to exercise the repayment right on their behalf. Different firms have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers; we urge you to take care to act promptly enough to ensure that your request is given effect by the depositary before the applicable deadline for exercise.


 
81 We or our affiliates may purchase debt securities from investors who are willing to sell from time to time, either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Debt securities that we or they purchase may, in our discretion, be held, resold or canceled. Payment of Additional Amounts The government of any jurisdiction where BP or BP Capital U.K. is incorporated may require BP or BP Capital U.K. to withhold or deduct amounts from payments on the principal or interest on a debt security or any amounts to be paid under the guarantees for or on account of taxes or any other governmental charges. If the jurisdiction requires a withholding or deduction of this type, BP or BP Capital U.K., as the case may be, may be required to pay you an additional amount so that the net amount you receive will be the amount specified in the debt security to which you are entitled. However, in order for you to be entitled to receive the additional amount, you must not be resident in the jurisdiction that requires the withholding or deduction. BP or BP Capital U.K., as the case may be, will not have to pay additional amounts under any of the following circumstances: • The U.S. government or any political subdivision of the U.S. government is the entity that is imposing the tax or governmental charge. • The tax or governmental charge is imposed due to the presentation of a debt security, if presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the security became due or after the payment was provided for. • The tax or governmental charge is on account of an estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax or other governmental charge. The tax or governmental charge is for a tax or governmental charge that is payable in a manner that does not involve withholdings. • The tax or governmental charge is imposed or withheld because the holder or beneficial owner failed: • to provide information about the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner, or • to make a declaration or satisfy any information requirements, that the statutes, treaties, regulations or administrative practices of the taxing jurisdiction require as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax or governmental charge. • The withholding or deduction is imposed pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or European Council Directive 2014/48/EC, regarding taxation of, and information exchange among member states of the European Union with respect to, interest income, or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directives. • The withholding or deduction is imposed on a holder or beneficial owner who could have avoided such withholding or deduction by presenting its debt securities to another paying agent.


 
82 • The tax or governmental charge is withheld or imposed due to a combination of the items listed above (other than the first bulleted item listed above). • The holder is a fiduciary or partnership or an entity that is not the sole beneficial owner of the payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any security, and the laws of the jurisdiction require the payment to be included in the income of a beneficiary or settlor for tax purposes with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the holder of such security. These provisions will also apply to any taxes or governmental charges imposed by any jurisdiction in which a successor to BP or BP Capital U.K., as the case may be, is organized. Additional circumstances in which BP would not be required to pay additional amounts, if any, are described above and in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. (Section 1010) Optional Tax Redemption We may also have the option to redeem the debt securities of a given series if, as a result of any change in United Kingdom tax treatment, BP or BP Capital U.K. would be required to pay additional amounts as described in the previous subsection under “—Payment of Additional Amounts”. This option applies only in the case of changes in United Kingdom tax treatment that occur on or after the date specified above for the applicable series of debt securities. The redemption price for the debt securities, other than original issue discount debt securities, will be equal to the principal amount of the debt securities being redeemed plus accrued interest. The redemption price for original issue discount debt securities will be specified above for such securities. (Section 1108) Event Risk Provisions The debt securities do not contain event risk provisions designed to require BP or the BP Debt Issuers to redeem or repurchase the debt securities, reset the interest rate or take other actions in response to highly leveraged transactions, changes in credit ratings or similar occurrences. Defeasance and Discharge The following discussion of full defeasance and discharge will be applicable to your series of debt securities only if we choose to have them apply to that series. If we do so choose, it will be stated in the above description of your debt securities. (Section 403) We can legally release ourselves from any payment or other obligations on the debt securities, except for various obligations described below, if we, in addition to other actions, put in place the following arrangements for you to be repaid: • We must deposit in trust for your benefit and the benefit of all other direct holders of the debt securities a combination of money and U.S. government or U.S. government agency notes or bonds that will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the debt securities on their various due dates. In addition, on the date of such deposit, we must not be in default. For purposes of this no-default test, a default would include an event of default that has occurred and not been cured, as described below under “Default and Related Matters— Events of Default—What Is an Event of Default?” A default for this purpose would also include any event that would be an event of default if the requirements for giving us default notice or our default having to exist for a specific period of time were disregarded.


 
83 • We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming that under current U.S. federal income tax law we may make the above deposit without causing you to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and just repaid the debt securities ourselves. In the case of debt securities being discharged, we must deliver along with this opinion a private letter ruling from U.S. Internal Revenue Service to this effect or a revenue ruling pertaining to a comparable form of transaction to that effect published by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. • If the debt securities are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming that the deposit, defeasance and discharge will not cause the debt securities to be delisted. However, even if we take these actions, a number of our obligations relating to the debt securities will remain. These include the following obligations: • to register the transfer and exchange of debt securities; • to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities; • to maintain paying agencies; and • to hold money for payment in trust. Default and Related Matters Ranking • The debt securities are not secured by any of our property or assets. Accordingly, your ownership of debt securities means you are one of our unsecured creditors. The debt securities are not subordinated to any of our other debt obligations and therefore they rank equally with all our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Events of Default You will have special rights if an event of default occurs and is not cured, as described later in this subsection. What Is an Event of Default? The term “event of default” means, with respect to a debt security other than the 4.375% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 5.25 Fixed Rate Reset Notes and the 4.875% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 10 Fixed Rate Reset Notes, any of the following: • We do not pay the principal or any premium on the debt security at maturity. • We do not pay interest on the debt security within 30 days of its due date. • We do not deposit any sinking fund payment for the debt security on its due date. • We remain in breach of a covenant or any other term of the applicable indenture for 90 days after we receive a notice of default stating we are in breach. The notice must be sent by either the trustee or holders of 25% of the principal amount of debt securities of the affected series.


 
84 • We file for bankruptcy or certain other events if bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur. • Any other event of default described above occurs. (Section 501) An “event of default” under the 4.375% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 5.25 Fixed Rate Reset Notes and the 4.875% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 10 Fixed Rate Reset Notes occurs only in the event of a Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. or BP other than for the purposes of a Solvent Reorganization of BP Capital U.K. or BP. If, for a period of 30 days or more, BP Capital U.K. or BP are in default in the payment of any principal or interest (including any Arrears of Interest) in respect of such subordinated notes which is due and payable (a “Payment Default”), then BP Capital U.K. and/or BP, as the case may be, will be deemed to be in default under the Indenture and the relevant Notes, and the Trustee may, and if instructed by the holders as described in “—Entitlement of the Trustee” in the relevant prospectus supplement shall, take such actions as set forth under “—Proceedings” or “—Enforcement” in the relevant prospectus supplement, to institute actions, steps or proceedings for the Winding-Up of BP Capital U.K. and/or BP. For the avoidance of doubt, a Payment Default is not an Event of Default and shall not result in any right of Acceleration pursuant to Section 502 of the Indenture. Remedies If an Event of Default Occurs. If an event of default has occurred and has not been cured, the trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series may declare the entire principal amount of all the debt securities of that series to be due and immediately payable. This is called a declaration of acceleration of maturity. A declaration of acceleration of maturity may be canceled by the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series if: • all amounts due (as interest, principal and otherwise) are paid or deposited with the trustee; and • all events of default, other than the non-payment of the principal of the debt securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. (Section 502) Except in cases of default, where the trustee has some special duties, the trustee is not required to take any action under the indenture at the request of any holders unless the holders offer the trustee reasonable protection from expenses and liability. This protection is called an indemnity. (Section 603) If reasonable indemnity is provided, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the relevant series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the trustee. These majority holders may also direct the trustee in performing any other action under the indenture. (Section 512) Before you bypass the trustee and bring your own lawsuit or other formal legal action or take other steps to enforce your rights or protect your interests relating to the debt securities, the following must occur, provided that the provisions of this paragraph do not apply to the 4.375% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 5.25 Fixed Rate Reset Notes and the 4.875% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Call 10 Fixed Rate Reset Notes: • You must give the trustee written notice that an event of default has occurred and remains uncured. • The holders of 25% in principal amount of all outstanding debt securities of the relevant series must make a written request that the trustee take action because of the default, and must offer reasonable indemnity to the trustee against the cost and other liabilities of taking that action.


 
85 • The trustee must have not taken action for 60 days after receipt of the above notice, request and offer of indemnity. (Section 507) We will furnish to the trustee every year a written statement of certain of our officers certifying that, to their knowledge, we are in compliance with the indenture and the debt securities, or else specifying any default. (Section 1008) Regarding the Trustee BP and several of its subsidiaries maintain banking relations with the trustee group of companies in the ordinary course of their business. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. acts as trustee under other indentures under which BP acts as guarantor. If an event of default occurs, or an event occurs that would be an event of default if the requirements for giving us default notice or our default having to exist for a specific period of time were disregarded, the trustee may in certain circumstances prescribed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 be considered to have a conflicting interest with respect to the debt securities or the applicable indenture. In that case, the trustee may be required to resign as trustee under the applicable indenture and we would be required to appoint a successor trustee.

DeGolyer and MacNaughton 5001 Spring Valley Road Suite 800 East Dallas, Texas 75244 This is a digital representation of a DeGolyer and MacNaughton report. This file is intended to be a manifestation of certain data in the subject report and as such are subject to the same conditions thereof. The information and data contained in this file may be subject to misinterpretation; therefore, the signed and bound copy of this report should be considered the only authoritative source of such information.


 
DeGolyer and MacNaughton 5001 Spring Valley Road Suite 800 East Dallas, Texas 75244 March 9, 2021 BP Russian Investments Limited Chertsey Road Sunbury on Thames, Middlesex, TW16 7BP United Kingdom Ladies and Gentlemen: Pursuant to your request, this report of third party presents an independent evaluation, as of December 31, 2020, of the extent of the estimated net proved oil, condensate, natural gas liquids (NGL), and gas reserves of certain fields in which PJSC Rosneft Oil Company (ROSNEFT) has represented it holds or controls an interest. This evaluation was completed on January 25, 2021. The fields evaluated consist of working interests located in the Russian Federation, Canada, Egypt, Kurdistan, Iraq, and Vietnam. ROSNEFT has represented that it holds or controls an interest in certain fields located in the Russian Federation either directly or through various subsidiary enterprises. ROSNEFT has represented that all fields are held at 100 percent by the respective subsidiary enterprise. ROSNEFT has represented that its ownership in all the subsidiary enterprises ranges between 20 and 100 percent. ROSNEFT has represented that these fields account for 100 percent on a net equivalent barrel basis of ROSNEFT’s net proved reserves as of December 31, 2020. The net proved reserves estimates have been prepared in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States. At the request of BP Russian Investments Limited (BP), a wholly owned subsidiary of BP p.l.c., this report was prepared in accordance with guidelines specified in Item 1202(a)(8) of Regulation S–K and is to be used for inclusion in certain SEC filings by BP p.l.c. Also included in this report are interests held through five production sharing agreements (PSA) and five joint ventures (JV). As represented by ROSNEFT, the PSA holdings include the Sakhalin-1 Project in Russia, the Shorouk Concession in Egypt,


 
2 DeGolyer and MacNaughton the Bijeel field in Kurdistan, the Salman field in Iraq, and Block 6.1 in Vietnam. The JV holdings include four JVs in Russia and one JV in Canada. These subsidiary enterprises, the ROSNEFT direct holdings in the Russian Federation (including those in the Chechen Republic), the Sakhalin-1 Project, the Egyptian PSA, the Kurdish PSA, the Iraqi PSA, the Vietnam PSA, the Russian JVs, and the Canadian JV are collectively referred to hereinafter as “ROSNEFT Holdings.” BP has represented that it holds a 22.03-percent interest in ROSNEFT Holdings. Certain properties in which ROSNEFT has an interest are subject to the terms of various PSAs. The terms of these PSAs generally allow for working interest participants to be reimbursed for portions of capital costs and operating expenses and to share in the profits. The reimbursements and profit proceeds are converted to a barrel of oil equivalent or standard cubic foot of gas equivalent by dividing by product prices to estimate the “entitlement quantities.” These entitlement quantities are equivalent in principle to net reserves and are used to calculate an equivalent net share, termed an “entitlement interest.” In this report, ROSNEFT net reserves or interest for certain properties subject to these PSAs is the entitlement based on ROSNEFT’s working interest. The reserves estimated herein are reported at 100 percent for those subsidiaries of which ROSNEFT has majority control, either through direct ownership or through voting rights. The estimated reserves for those subsidiaries which ROSNEFT does not control are reported at ROSNEFT’s working interest. All of the fields evaluated are located in the Russian Federation, Canada, Egypt, Kurdistan, Iraq, or Vietnam. ROSNEFT has represented that upon completion of the primary terms of its current licenses, each of the subsidiary enterprises intends to continue to extend these licenses until the end of the economic lives of the associated fields, and that they intend to proceed accordingly with development and operation of these fields. Based on these representations and consistent with Russian law, estimates of proved, reserves associated with the fields evaluated herein were not limited by the primary terms of their licenses. Reserves estimated herein are expressed as net reserves attributable to or controlled by ROSNEFT (ROSNEFT net). Gross reserves are defined as the total estimated petroleum remaining to be produced from these fields after December 31, 2020. ROSNEFT net reserves are defined as that portion of the gross reserves attributable to the interests held by ROSNEFT after deducting all interests


 
3 DeGolyer and MacNaughton held by others plus certain interests not held by ROSNEFT, which ROSNEFT has represented that it controls. For the PSAs, these reserves are expressed in terms of the barrel equivalent of the cost recovery and profit share (entitlement) after deducting interests held by others. Estimates of reserves should be regarded only as estimates that may change as further production history and additional information become available. Not only are such estimates based on that information which is currently available, but such estimates are also subject to the uncertainties inherent in the application of judgmental factors in interpreting such information. Information used in the preparation of this report was obtained from ROSNEFT and from public sources. In the preparation of this report we have relied, without independent verification, upon such information furnished by ROSNEFT with respect to the field interests being evaluated, production from such fields, current costs of operation and development, current prices for production, agreements relating to current and future operations and sale of production, and various other information and data that were accepted as represented. A field examination was not considered necessary for the purposes of this report. Definition of Reserves Petroleum reserves estimated by us and included in this report are classified as proved. Only proved reserves have been evaluated for this report. Reserves classifications used by us in this report are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X of the SEC. Reserves are judged to be economically producible in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and assuming continuation of current regulatory practices using conventional production methods and equipment. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limit of economic rates of production under existing economic and operating conditions using prices and costs consistent with the effective date of this report, including consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements but not including escalations based upon future conditions. The petroleum reserves are classified as follows: Proved oil and gas reserves – Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be


 
4 DeGolyer and MacNaughton economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. (i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes: (A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. (ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty. (iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty. (iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when: (A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the


 
5 DeGolyer and MacNaughton engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and (B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities. (v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. Developed oil and gas reserves – Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered: (i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and (ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well. Undeveloped oil and gas reserves – Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. (i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances. (ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating


 
6 DeGolyer and MacNaughton that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time. (iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in [section 210.4–10 (a) Definitions], or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty. Methodology and Procedures Estimates of reserves were prepared by the use of appropriate geologic, petroleum engineering, and evaluation principles and techniques that are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X of the SEC and with practices generally recognized by the petroleum industry as presented in the publication of the Society of Petroleum Engineers entitled “Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information (revised June 2019) Approved by the SPE Board on 25 June 2019.” The method or combination of methods used in the analysis of each reservoir was tempered by experience with similar reservoirs, stage of development, quality and completeness of basic data, and production history. Based on the current stage of field development, production performance, the development plans provided by ROSNEFT, and analyses of areas offsetting existing wells with test or production data, reserves were classified as proved. The proved undeveloped reserves estimates were based on opportunities identified in the plan of development provided by ROSNEFT. The proved developed non-producing reserves include those quantities associated with behind-pipe zones and include minor remaining capital expenditure as compared to the cost of a new well. ROSNEFT has represented that its senior management is committed to the development plan provided by ROSNEFT and that ROSNEFT has the financial capability to execute the development plan, including the drilling and completion of wells and the installation of equipment and facilities.


 
7 DeGolyer and MacNaughton The volumetric method was used to estimate the original oil in place (OOIP) and the original gas in place (OGIP). Structure maps were prepared to delineate each reservoir, and isopach maps were constructed to estimate reservoir volume. Electrical logs, radioactivity logs, core analyses, and other available data were used to prepare these maps as well as to estimate representative values for porosity and water saturation. Estimates of ultimate recovery were obtained after applying recovery factors to OOIP or OGIP. These recovery factors were based on consideration of the type of energy inherent in the reservoirs, analyses of the petroleum, the structural positions of the properties, and the production histories. For depletion-type reservoirs or those whose performance disclosed a reliable decline in producing-rate trends or other diagnostic characteristics, reserves were estimated by the application of appropriate decline curves or other performance relationships. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limits of economic production as defined under the Definition of Reserves heading of this report or to the limit of the production licenses as appropriate. In certain cases, reserves were estimated by incorporating elements of analogy with similar wells or reservoirs for which more complete data were available. Data provided by ROSNEFT from wells drilled through December 2020 and made available for this evaluation were used to prepare the reserves estimates herein. These reserves estimates were based on consideration of monthly production data available for certain properties only through June 2020. Estimated cumulative production, as of December 31, 2020, was deducted from the estimated gross ultimate recovery to estimate gross reserves. This required that production be estimated for up to 6 months. Estimates of prices, as of December 31, 2020, were used in calculations to estimate the entitlement reserves for properties in the Sakhalin-1, Vietnam Block 6.1, Egyptian, Kurdish, and Iraqi PSAs. Oil and condensate reserves estimated herein are to be recovered by normal field separation. NGL reserves estimated herein include pentanes and heavier fractions (C5+) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which consists primarily of propane and butane fractions, and are the result of low-temperature plant processing. Oil, condensate, and NGL reserves included in this report are expressed in thousands of barrels (103bbl). In these estimates, 1 barrel equals 42 United States gallons. For


 
8 DeGolyer and MacNaughton reporting purposes, oil and condensate reserves have been estimated separately and are presented herein as a summed quantity. Gas reserves estimated herein are expressed as fuel gas, sales gas, and marketable gas. Fuel gas is that portion of the total volume of gas to be produced from the reservoirs used in the operation of the field. In certain cases, fuel gas also represents the estimated volume of gas utilized in existing and future power-generation plants. ROSNEFT provided information about currently operating and future plants, including a schedule of operation, plant inlet rates, fields associated with each plant, and pertinent economic parameters. Sales gas is defined as the total volume of gas to be produced from the reservoirs, measured at the point of delivery, available for sales, after deduction for fuel usage, flare, and shrinkage resulting from field separation and processing. Marketable gas is defined as the sum of fuel gas and sales gas. The fuel gas reserves included as a portion of ROSNEFT net marketable gas reserves, as of December 31, 2020, are summarized as follows, expressed in millions of cubic feet (106ft3): Fuel Gas Portion of ROSNEFT Net Marketable Gas Reserves (106ft3) Proved Developed 2,592,267 Proved Undeveloped 861,644 Total Proved 3,453,911 Gas quantities are expressed at a temperature base of 20 degrees Celsius (°C) and at a pressure base of 1 atmosphere (atm). Gas quantities included in this report are expressed in millions of cubic feet (106ft3). Gas reserves are identified by the type of reservoir from which the gas will be produced. Nonassociated gas is gas at initial reservoir conditions with no oil present in the reservoir. Associated gas is both gas-cap gas and solution gas. Gas-cap gas is gas at initial reservoir conditions and is in communication with an underlying oil zone. Solution gas is gas dissolved in oil at initial reservoir conditions. Gas reserves estimated herein include both associated and nonassociated gas. ROSNEFT has represented that most of gas produced from the fields evaluated herein and located in the Unified gas supply system zone will be delivered to market


 
9 DeGolyer and MacNaughton through the Gazprom Gas Transmission System (GTS). In accordance with Russian Federation Resolution no. 858, dated July 14, 1997, ROSNEFT is entitled to access to the GTS for transportation and delivery of gas. Additionally, Russian Federation Resolution no. 1021, dated December 29, 2000, obligates Gazprom and its affiliates to sell gas, produced by Gazprom and its affiliates, at a price within a range of wholesale prices regulated by the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service with adjustment for the energy value of the gas, and permits Gazprom to collect a service charge for retail distribution. The range of prices is established for each Russian region where the gas is sold. ROSNEFT has represented that all gas not used for fuel will be sold, whether at an agreed-upon contract price or at the lower price associated with gas sales through the GTS. Sales gas reserves have been estimated herein on the basis of these representations. ROSNEFT provided sales gas prices to be used for the estimation of the value of the gas reserves reported herein, and it has represented that these prices are consistent with the conditions described above. Primary Economic Assumptions This report has been prepared using initial prices, expenses, and costs provided by ROSNEFT in United States dollars (U.S.$). Future prices were estimated using guidelines established by the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The following economic assumptions were used for estimating the reserves reported herein: Oil and Condensate Prices ROSNEFT has represented that the sales prices of oil and condensate were based on a 12-month average price (reference price), calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements. ROSNEFT supplied oil and condensate prices, which were based on a Urals reference price of 21,776 Russian rubles per metric ton (U.S.$41.46 per barrel). The Urals reference oil price is an average of the Urals (MED) and Urals (Rdam) prices as published in the Platts Oilgram Price Report. For the ROSNEFT Holdings in the Russian Federation (including those in both the Chechen Republic and the Sakhalin-1 Project), the volume-weighted average oil and condensate prices over the lives of the fields were


 
10 DeGolyer and MacNaughton U.S.$35.32 per barrel and U.S.$29.61 per barrel, respectively. For the JV holding in Canada, ROSNEFT supplied differentials to an Edmonton Light Oil reference price of U.S.$44.50 per barrel and the prices were held constant thereafter. The volume-weighted average oil price over the lives of the fields in the Canadian JV was U.S.$29.97 per barrel. For the PSA holdings in Vietnam, ROSNEFT supplied differentials to the Brent oil reference price of U.S.$41.31 per barrel. The volume-weighted average price of the condensate over the lives of the fields for the Vietnamese holdings was U.S.$39.66 per barrel. For the PSA holdings in Egypt, ROSNEFT supplied differentials to the Brent oil reference price of U.S.$41.31 per barrel. The volume-weighted average price of condensate over the lives of the fields for the Egyptian holdings was U.S.$38.63 per barrel. NGL Prices For the ROSNEFT Holdings in the Russian Federation (including those in the Chechen Republic), the volume-weighted average NGL price over the lives of the fields was U.S.$6.88 per barrel. For the JV holding in Canada, ROSNEFT supplied an NGL price of U.S.$12.19 per barrel and the prices were held constant thereafter. Gas Prices For the ROSNEFT Holdings in the Russian Federation (including those in both the Chechen Republic and the Sakhalin-1 Project), the volume-weighted average price over the lives of the fields was U.S.$0.79 per thousand cubic feet (103ft3). For the JV holding in Canada, ROSNEFT supplied differentials to an Alberta Export Canadian metering outlet (AECO) reference price of U.S.$1.76 per 103ft3 and the prices were held constant thereafter. The volume-weighted average gas price over the lives of the fields in the Canadian JV was U.S.$1.37 per 103ft3. For the PSA holdings in Vietnam, ROSNEFT has represented that sales gas is priced according to terms of a Gas Sales Agreement. The volume-weighted average gas price over


 
11 DeGolyer and MacNaughton the lives of the Vietnamese fields was U.S.$2.98 per 103ft3. For the PSA holdings in Egypt, ROSNEFT has represented that sales gas is priced according to terms of a Gas Sales Agreement. The volume-weighted average gas price over the lives of the Egyptian fields was U.S.$5.35 per 103ft3. Expenses and Costs Current expenses and costs, and forecasts of expenses and costs, provided by ROSNEFT were used in estimating future expenditures required to operate the fields. In certain cases, future expenditures, either higher or lower than current expenditures, may have been used because of anticipated changes in operating conditions, but no general escalation that might result from inflation was applied. In our opinion, the information relating to estimated proved reserves of oil, condensate, NGL, and gas contained in this report has been prepared in accordance with Paragraphs 932-235-50-4 and 932-235-50-6 through 932-235-50-9 of the Accounting Standards Update 932-235-50, Extractive Industries – Oil and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures (January 2010) of the FASB and Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X and Rules 302(b), 1201, 1202(a) (1), (2), (3), (4), (8), and 1203(a) of Regulation S–K of the SEC; provided, however, that (i) estimates of proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves are not presented at the beginning of the year, (ii) certain proved undeveloped reserves are scheduled for development more than 5 years after initial disclosure, and (iii) certain economically producible quantities of reserves beyond the primary term of the current production licenses have been classified as proved reserves in this report based on ROSNEFT’s representation that each of the subsidiary enterprises discussed therein has the ability to and intends to extend the applicable current production licenses to the end of the economic lives of the associated fields and that ROSNEFT believes with reasonable certainty that the inclusion of the reserves and revenue under extended license terms is consistent with SEC regulations. ROSNEFT has represented to us that the Russian Law on Subsoil requires that an operator develop a field according to a development plan that has been submitted to and approved by the appropriate government authority. Once approved, failure to follow the development plan is a violation of the Russian Law on Subsoil and may result in the cancellation of the operator’s production license for the field.


 
12 DeGolyer and MacNaughton Since the implementation of the approved development plan, including that portion that may occur more than 5 years after initial disclosure, is a requirement for maintaining the production license, we have included in certain of our estimates of SEC proved reserves those quantities associated with development activities that are part of the approved development plan and scheduled more than 5 years after initial disclosure. We believe that, since they must be developed to prevent the loss of licenses, there is reasonable certainty that the reserves will be developed. We believe it is reasonable therefore to include these quantities as SEC proved reserves. ROSNEFT has represented to us that the development plans provided to us are in accordance with the approved development plans. We cannot render an opinion regarding the actual possibility that a license will be terminated for failure to follow approved development plans nor an opinion on how many companies have lost their licenses for not following approved development plans. We are not in a position to offer an opinion on the duration of the subsidiary enterprises’ production licenses under the Russian Law on Subsoil, but, in light of the above, believe ROSNEFT’s view on the probability of license extensions to be reasonable, although such view may not be confirmed by the SEC. We believe it is reasonable therefore to include these quantities as SEC proved reserves. To the extent the above-enumerated rules, regulations, and statements require determinations of an accounting or legal nature, we, as engineers, are necessarily unable to express an opinion as to whether the above-described information is in accordance therewith or sufficient therefor.


 
13 DeGolyer and MacNaughton Summary of Conclusions The estimated ROSNEFT net proved reserves, as of December 31, 2020, of the fields evaluated herein were based on the definition of proved reserves of the SEC and are summarized as follows, expressed in thousands of barrels (103bbl) and millions of cubic feet (106ft3): ROSNEFT Net Reserves Rosneft Holdings Reserves Classification Oil and Condensate (103bbl) NGL (103bbl) Marketable Gas (106ft3) Sales Gas (106ft3) Russia Proved Developed 13,942,638 490,391 39,306,698 36,730,862 Proved Undeveloped 11,183,095 193,357 33,142,769 32,289,477 Total Proved 25,125,733 683,748 72,449,467 69,020,339 Canada Proved Developed 150 85 704 704 Proved Undeveloped 0 0 0 0 Total Proved 150 85 704 704 Egypt Proved Developed 2,377 0 1,264,062 1,247,631 Proved Undeveloped 1,206 0 642,320 633,968 Total Proved 3,583 0 1,906,382 1,881,599 Kurdistan Proved Developed 928 0 0 0 Proved Undeveloped 1,868 0 0 0 Total Proved 2,796 0 0 0 Iraq Proved Developed 0 0 0 0 Proved Undeveloped 0 0 0 0 Total Proved 0 0 0 0 Vietnam Proved Developed 55 0 30,176 30,176 Proved Undeveloped 0 0 0 0 Total Proved 55 0 30,176 30,176 Total Proved Developed 13,946,148 490,476 40,601,640 38,009,373 Proved Undeveloped 11,186,169 193,357 33,785,089 32,923,445 Total Proved 25,132,317 683,833 74,386,729 70,932,818 Note: ROSNEFT has represented that it controls the management of certain of the ROSNEFT Holdings in Russia through various subsidiary enterprises. For those ROSNEFT Holdings controlled by ROSNEFT, 100 percent of the reserves are reported herein as ROSNEFT net reserves and include those reserves not directly held by ROSNEFT.


 
14 DeGolyer and MacNaughton The estimated ROSNEFT net proved reserves, as of December 31, 2020, attributable to the evaluated fields, adjusted for BP’s working interest of 22.03 percent, are summarized as follows, expressed in thousands of barrels (103bbl) and millions of cubic feet (106ft3): BP Share of ROSNEFT Net Reserves Country Reserves Classification Oil and Condensate (103bbl) NGL (103bbl) Marketable Gas (106ft3) Sales Gas (106ft3) Russia Proved Developed 3,071,563 108,033 8,659,266 8,091,809 Proved Undeveloped 2,463,636 42,597 7,301,352 7,113,372 Total Proved 5,535,199 150,630 15,960,618 15,205,181 Canada Proved Developed 33 19 155 155 Proved Undeveloped 0 0 0 0 Total Proved 33 19 155 155 Egypt Proved Developed 524 0 278,473 274,853 Proved Undeveloped 265 0 141,503 139,663 Total Proved 789 0 419,976 414,516 Kurdistan Proved Developed 204 0 0 0 Proved Undeveloped 412 0 0 0 Total Proved 616 0 0 0 Iraq Proved Developed 0 0 0 0 Proved Undeveloped 0 0 0 0 Total Proved 0 0 0 0 Vietnam Proved Developed 12 0 6,648 6,648 Proved Undeveloped 0 0 0 0 Total Proved 12 0 6,648 6,648 Total Proved Developed 3,072,336 108,052 8,944,542 8,373,465 Proved Undeveloped 2,464,313 42,597 7,442,855 7,253,035 Total Proved 5,536,649 150,649 16,387,397 15,626,500 BP has represented that the BP share of ROSNEFT net reserves account for 47 percent of BP net proved reserves as of December 31, 2020, on a barrel of oil equivalent basis. In addition to the 22.03-percent net interest in ROSNEFT’s net reserves, BP also holds a separate direct working interest in two of the ROSNEFT subsidiary enterprises in Russia: 49-percent interest in Kharampurneftegaz and 20-percent interest in Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazdobycha. This direct working interest is referred to hereinafter as “BP Holdings.”


 
15 DeGolyer and MacNaughton The estimates of BP Holdings’ net proved reserves, as of December 31, 2020, attributable to the evaluated fields are summarized as follows, expressed in thousands of barrels (103bbl) and millions of cubic feet (106ft3): BP Holdings Net Reserves BP Holdings Reserves Classification Oil and Condensate (103bbl) NGL (103bbl) Marketable Gas (106ft3) Sales Gas (106ft3) Kharampurneftegaz Proved Developed 34,328 40,498 2,792,659 2,792,659 Proved Undeveloped 41,346 10,196 2,438,589 2,438,589 Total Proved 75,674 50,694 5,231,248 5,231,248 Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazdobycha Proved Developed 25,430 0 15,144 0 Proved Undeveloped 18,216 0 1,576 0 Total Proved 43,646 0 16,720 0 Total Proved Developed 59,758 40,498 15,144 2,792,659 Proved Undeveloped 59,562 10,196 1,576 2,438,589 Total Proved 119,320 50,694 16,720 5,231,248 The BP Holdings net reserves shown above are included in the ROSNEFT net reserves shown herein. Additionally, a portion of the BP Holdings net reserves shown above is included in the BP share of ROSNEFT net reserves shown herein. BP has represented that the BP Holdings net reserves account for 3 percent of BP net proved reserves as of December 31, 2020, on a barrel of oil equivalent basis. While the oil and gas industry may be subject to regulatory changes from time to time that could affect an industry participant’s ability to recover its reserves, we are not aware of any such governmental actions which would restrict the recovery of the December 31, 2020, estimated reserves.

January 13, 2021 Mr. Kyle Koontz BP America Production Company 1700 Platte Street, Suite 150 Denver, Colorado 80202 Dear Mr. Koontz: In accordance with your request, we have estimated the proved reserves and future revenue, as of December 31, 2020, to the BP America Production Company (BP) interest in certain oil and gas properties located in Louisiana, Texas, and Wyoming. We completed our evaluation on or about the date of this letter. It is our understanding that the proved reserves estimated in this report constitute all of the proved reserves within BP's U.S. Lower 48 business unit and that the proved reserves within BP's U.S. Lower 48 business unit represent 8.1 percent of the BP p.l.c. subsidiaries' proved reserves. The estimates in this report have been prepared in accordance with the definitions and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, with the exception of the exclusion of future income taxes, conform to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities— Oil and Gas. Definitions are presented immediately following this letter. This report has been prepared for BP p.l.c.'s use in filing with the SEC; in our opinion the assumptions, data, methods, and procedures used in the preparation of this report are appropriate for such purpose. We estimate the net reserves and future net revenue to the BP interest in these properties, as of December 31, 2020, to be: Net Reserves Future Net Revenue(1) (M$) Oil NGL Gas Present Worth Category (MBBL) (MBBL) (MMCF) Total at 10% Proved Developed Producing 102,907.1 73,505.4 1,521,516.9 691,042.6 1,039,073.2 Proved Developed Non-Producing(2) 438.7 85.4 500.2 2,551.4 -66.3 Proved Undeveloped(2) 340,805.7 194,069.8 3,273,965.8 4,421,146.0 637,293.7 Total Proved 444,151.6 267,660.6 4,795,982.9 5,114,739.9 1,676,300.6 Totals may not add because of rounding. (1) Future net revenue is after deducting estimated abandonment costs. (2) Estimates of reserves have been included for certain wells that generate positive future net revenue but have negative present worth discounted at 10 percent based on the constant price and cost parameters discussed in subsequent paragraphs of this letter. The oil volumes shown include crude oil and condensate. Oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) volumes are expressed in thousands of barrels (MBBL); a barrel is equivalent to 42 United States gallons. Gas volumes are expressed in millions of cubic feet (MMCF) at standard temperature and pressure bases. Reserves categorization conveys the relative degree of certainty; reserves subcategorization is based on development and production status. Estimates of reserves have been included for certain wells that generate positive future net revenue but have negative present worth discounted at 10 percent based on the constant price and cost parameters discussed in subsequent paragraphs of this letter. These wells have been included based on the operators' declared intent to drill these wells, as evidenced by BP's internal budget, reserves estimates, and price forecast. No study was made to determine whether probable or possible reserves might be established for


 
these properties. The estimates of reserves and future revenue included herein have not been adjusted for risk. This report does not include any value that could be attributed to interests in undeveloped acreage beyond those tracts for which undeveloped reserves have been estimated. Gross revenue is BP's share of the gross (100 percent) revenue from the properties prior to any deductions. Future net revenue is after deductions for BP's share of production taxes, ad valorem taxes, capital costs, abandonment costs, and operating expenses but before consideration of any income taxes. The future net revenue has been discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent to determine its present worth, which is shown to indicate the effect of time on the value of money. Future net revenue presented in this report, whether discounted or undiscounted, should not be construed as being the fair market value of the properties. Prices used in this report are based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period January through December 2020. For oil and NGL volumes, the average West Texas Intermediate Platt's Mth1 (Adj) Mid spot price of $39.57 per barrel is adjusted for quality, transportation fees, and market differentials. For gas volumes, the average Louisiana-Onshore South Henry Hub spot price of $1.94 per MMBTU is adjusted for energy content, transportation fees, and market differentials. All prices are held constant throughout the lives of the properties. The average adjusted product prices weighted by production over the remaining lives of the properties are $36.75 per barrel of oil, $9.30 per barrel of NGL, and $1.60 per MCF of gas. Operating costs used in this report are based on operating expense records of BP. For the nonoperated properties, these costs include the per-well overhead expenses allowed under joint operating agreements along with estimates of costs to be incurred at and below the district and field levels. As requested, operating costs for the operated properties are limited to direct lease- and field-level costs and BP's estimate of the portion of its headquarters general and administrative overhead expenses necessary to operate the properties. Operating costs have been divided into field-level costs and per-unit-of-production costs and are not escalated for inflation. Capital costs used in this report were provided by BP and are based on authorizations for expenditure, budget estimates, and actual costs from recent activity. Capital costs are included as required for workovers, new development wells, and production equipment. Based on our understanding of future development plans, a review of the records provided to us, and our knowledge of similar properties, we regard these estimated capital costs to be reasonable. Abandonment costs used in this report are BP's estimates of the costs to abandon the wells and production facilities, net of any salvage value. Capital costs and abandonment costs are not escalated for inflation. For the purposes of this report, we did not perform any field inspection of the properties, nor did we examine the mechanical operation or condition of the wells and facilities. We have not investigated possible environmental liability related to the properties; therefore, our estimates do not include any costs due to such possible liability. We have made no investigation of potential volume and value imbalances resulting from overdelivery or underdelivery to the BP interest. Therefore, our estimates of reserves and future revenue do not include adjustments for the settlement of any such imbalances; our projections are based on BP receiving its net revenue interest share of estimated future gross production. Additionally, although we are aware of firm transportation contracts that are in place for these properties, the associated costs are considered by BP to be corporate-level expenses; no adjustments have been made to our estimates of future revenue to account for such contracts. The reserves shown in this report are estimates only and should not be construed as exact quantities. Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis of engineering and geoscience data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible; probable and possible reserves are those additional reserves which are sequentially less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. Estimates of reserves may increase or decrease as a result of market conditions, future operations, changes in regulations, or actual reservoir performance. In addition to the primary economic assumptions discussed herein, our estimates are based on certain assumptions including, but not limited to, that the properties will be developed consistent with current development plans as provided to us by BP, that the properties will be operated in a prudent manner, that no governmental regulations or controls will be put in place that would impact the ability of the interest owner to recover


 
the reserves, and that our projections of future production will prove consistent with actual performance. If the reserves are recovered, the revenues therefrom and the costs related thereto could be more or less than the estimated amounts. Because of governmental policies and uncertainties of supply and demand, the sales rates, prices received for the reserves, and costs incurred in recovering such reserves may vary from assumptions made while preparing this report. For the purposes of this report, we used technical and economic data including, but not limited to, well logs, geologic maps, seismic data, well test data, production data, historical price and cost information, and property ownership interests. The reserves in this report have been estimated using deterministic methods; these estimates have been prepared in accordance with the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE Standards). We used standard engineering and geoscience methods, or a combination of methods, including performance analysis, volumetric analysis, and analogy, that we considered to be appropriate and necessary to categorize and estimate reserves in accordance with SEC definitions and regulations. A substantial portion of these reserves are for non-producing zones, undeveloped locations, and producing wells that lack sufficient production history upon which performance-related estimates of reserves can be based; such reserves are based on estimates of reservoir volumes and recovery efficiencies along with analogy to properties with similar geologic and reservoir characteristics. As in all aspects of oil and gas evaluation, there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of engineering and geoscience data; therefore, our conclusions necessarily represent only informed professional judgment. The data used in our estimates were obtained from BP, public data sources, and the nonconfidential files of Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (NSAI) and were accepted as accurate. Supporting work data are on file in our office. We have not examined the titles to the properties or independently confirmed the actual degree or type of interest owned. The technical persons primarily responsible for preparing the estimates presented herein meet the requirements regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity, and confidentiality set forth in the SPE Standards.

DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a) Definitions - Page 1 of 6 The following definitions are set forth in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a). Also included is supplemental information from (1) the 2018 Petroleum Resources Management System approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, (2) the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas, and (3) the SEC's Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. (1) Acquisition of properties. Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire a property, including costs of lease bonuses and options to purchase or lease properties, the portion of costs applicable to minerals when land including mineral rights is purchased in fee, brokers' fees, recording fees, legal costs, and other costs incurred in acquiring properties. (2) Analogous reservoir. Analogous reservoirs, as used in resources assessments, have similar rock and fluid properties, reservoir conditions (depth, temperature, and pressure) and drive mechanisms, but are typically at a more advanced stage of development than the reservoir of interest and thus may provide concepts to assist in the interpretation of more limited data and estimation of recovery. When used to support proved reserves, an "analogous reservoir" refers to a reservoir that shares the following characteristics with the reservoir of interest: (i) Same geological formation (but not necessarily in pressure communication with the reservoir of interest); (ii) Same environment of deposition; (iii) Similar geological structure; and (iv) Same drive mechanism. Instruction to paragraph (a)(2): Reservoir properties must, in the aggregate, be no more favorable in the analog than in the reservoir of interest. (3) Bitumen. Bitumen, sometimes referred to as natural bitumen, is petroleum in a solid or semi-solid state in natural deposits with a viscosity greater than 10,000 centipoise measured at original temperature in the deposit and atmospheric pressure, on a gas free basis. In its natural state it usually contains sulfur, metals, and other non-hydrocarbons. (4) Condensate. Condensate is a mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in the gaseous phase at original reservoir temperature and pressure, but that, when produced, is in the liquid phase at surface pressure and temperature. (5) Deterministic estimate. The method of estimating reserves or resources is called deterministic when a single value for each parameter (from the geoscience, engineering, or economic data) in the reserves calculation is used in the reserves estimation procedure. (6) Developed oil and gas reserves. Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered: (i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and (ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well. Supplemental definitions from the 2018 Petroleum Resources Management System: Developed Producing Reserves – Expected quantities to be recovered from completion intervals that are open and producing at the effective date of the estimate. Improved recovery Reserves are considered producing only after the improved recovery project is in operation. Developed Non-Producing Reserves – Shut-in and behind-pipe Reserves. Shut-in Reserves are expected to be recovered from (1) completion intervals that are open at the time of the estimate but which have not yet started producing, (2) wells which were shut-in for market conditions or pipeline connections, or (3) wells not capable of production for mechanical reasons. Behind-pipe Reserves are expected to be recovered from zones in existing wells that will require additional completion work or future re-completion before start of production with minor cost to access these reserves. In all cases, production can be initiated or restored with relatively low expenditure compared to the cost of drilling a new well. (7) Development costs. Costs incurred to obtain access to proved reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and storing the oil and gas. More specifically, development costs, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of development activities, are costs incurred to: (i) Gain access to and prepare well locations for drilling, including surveying well locations for the purpose of determining specific development drilling sites, clearing ground, draining, road building, and relocating public roads, gas lines, and power lines, to the extent necessary in developing the proved reserves. (ii) Drill and equip development wells, development-type stratigraphic test wells, and service wells, including the costs of platforms and of well equipment such as casing, tubing, pumping equipment, and the wellhead assembly.


 
DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a) Definitions - Page 2 of 6 (iii) Acquire, construct, and install production facilities such as lease flow lines, separators, treaters, heaters, manifolds, measuring devices, and production storage tanks, natural gas cycling and processing plants, and central utility and waste disposal systems. (iv) Provide improved recovery systems. (8) Development project. A development project is the means by which petroleum resources are brought to the status of economically producible. As examples, the development of a single reservoir or field, an incremental development in a producing field, or the integrated development of a group of several fields and associated facilities with a common ownership may constitute a development project. (9) Development well. A well drilled within the proved area of an oil or gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive. (10) Economically producible. The term economically producible, as it relates to a resource, means a resource which generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation. The value of the products that generate revenue shall be determined at the terminal point of oil and gas producing activities as defined in paragraph (a)(16) of this section. (11) Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR). Estimated ultimate recovery is the sum of reserves remaining as of a given date and cumulative production as of that date. (12) Exploration costs. Costs incurred in identifying areas that may warrant examination and in examining specific areas that are considered to have prospects of containing oil and gas reserves, including costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory- type stratigraphic test wells. Exploration costs may be incurred both before acquiring the related property (sometimes referred to in part as prospecting costs) and after acquiring the property. Principal types of exploration costs, which include depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of exploration activities, are: (i) Costs of topographical, geographical and geophysical studies, rights of access to properties to conduct those studies, and salaries and other expenses of geologists, geophysical crews, and others conducting those studies. Collectively, these are sometimes referred to as geological and geophysical or "G&G" costs. (ii) Costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties, such as delay rentals, ad valorem taxes on properties, legal costs for title defense, and the maintenance of land and lease records. (iii) Dry hole contributions and bottom hole contributions. (iv) Costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells. (v) Costs of drilling exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells. (13) Exploratory well. An exploratory well is a well drilled to find a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir. Generally, an exploratory well is any well that is not a development well, an extension well, a service well, or a stratigraphic test well as those items are defined in this section. (14) Extension well. An extension well is a well drilled to extend the limits of a known reservoir. (15) Field. An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition. There may be two or more reservoirs in a field which are separated vertically by intervening impervious strata, or laterally by local geologic barriers, or by both. Reservoirs that are associated by being in overlapping or adjacent fields may be treated as a single or common operational field. The geological terms "structural feature" and "stratigraphic condition" are intended to identify localized geological features as opposed to the broader terms of basins, trends, provinces, plays, areas-of-interest, etc. (16) Oil and gas producing activities. (i) Oil and gas producing activities include: (A) The search for crude oil, including condensate and natural gas liquids, or natural gas ("oil and gas") in their natural states and original locations; (B) The acquisition of property rights or properties for the purpose of further exploration or for the purpose of removing the oil or gas from such properties; (C) The construction, drilling, and production activities necessary to retrieve oil and gas from their natural reservoirs, including the acquisition, construction, installation, and maintenance of field gathering and storage systems, such as: (1) Lifting the oil and gas to the surface; and (2) Gathering, treating, and field processing (as in the case of processing gas to extract liquid hydrocarbons); and


 
DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a) Definitions - Page 3 of 6 (D) Extraction of saleable hydrocarbons, in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state, from oil sands, shale, coalbeds, or other nonrenewable natural resources which are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, and activities undertaken with a view to such extraction. Instruction 1 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): The oil and gas production function shall be regarded as ending at a "terminal point", which is the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank. If unusual physical or operational circumstances exist, it may be appropriate to regard the terminal point for the production function as: a. The first point at which oil, gas, or gas liquids, natural or synthetic, are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, or a marine terminal; and b. In the case of natural resources that are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, if those natural resources are delivered to a purchaser prior to upgrading, the first point at which the natural resources are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, a marine terminal, or a facility which upgrades such natural resources into synthetic oil or gas. Instruction 2 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): For purposes of this paragraph (a)(16), the term saleable hydrocarbons means hydrocarbons that are saleable in the state in which the hydrocarbons are delivered. (ii) Oil and gas producing activities do not include: (A) Transporting, refining, or marketing oil and gas; (B) Processing of produced oil, gas, or natural resources that can be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas by a registrant that does not have the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in such production; (C) Activities relating to the production of natural resources other than oil, gas, or natural resources from which synthetic oil and gas can be extracted; or (D) Production of geothermal steam. (17) Possible reserves. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. (i) When deterministic methods are used, the total quantities ultimately recovered from a project have a low probability of exceeding proved plus probable plus possible reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the total quantities ultimately recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates. (ii) Possible reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to probable reserves where data control and interpretations of available data are progressively less certain. Frequently, this will be in areas where geoscience and engineering data are unable to define clearly the area and vertical limits of commercial production from the reservoir by a defined project. (iii) Possible reserves also include incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than the recovery quantities assumed for probable reserves. (iv) The proved plus probable and proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates must be based on reasonable alternative technical and commercial interpretations within the reservoir or subject project that are clearly documented, including comparisons to results in successful similar projects. (v) Possible reserves may be assigned where geoscience and engineering data identify directly adjacent portions of a reservoir within the same accumulation that may be separated from proved areas by faults with displacement less than formation thickness or other geological discontinuities and that have not been penetrated by a wellbore, and the registrant believes that such adjacent portions are in communication with the known (proved) reservoir. Possible reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher or lower than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir. (vi) Pursuant to paragraph (a)(22)(iii) of this section, where direct observation has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves should be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir above the HKO only if the higher contact can be established with reasonable certainty through reliable technology. Portions of the reservoir that do not meet this reasonable certainty criterion may be assigned as probable and possible oil or gas based on reservoir fluid properties and pressure gradient interpretations. (18) Probable reserves. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered. (i) When deterministic methods are used, it is as likely as not that actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable reserves estimates.


 
DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a) Definitions - Page 4 of 6 (ii) Probable reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to proved reserves where data control or interpretations of available data are less certain, even if the interpreted reservoir continuity of structure or productivity does not meet the reasonable certainty criterion. Probable reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir. (iii) Probable reserves estimates also include potential incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than assumed for proved reserves. (iv) See also guidelines in paragraphs (a)(17)(iv) and (a)(17)(vi) of this section. (19) Probabilistic estimate. The method of estimation of reserves or resources is called probabilistic when the full range of values that could reasonably occur for each unknown parameter (from the geoscience and engineering data) is used to generate a full range of possible outcomes and their associated probabilities of occurrence. (20) Production costs. (i) Costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of operating and maintaining those wells and related equipment and facilities. They become part of the cost of oil and gas produced. Examples of production costs (sometimes called lifting costs) are: (A) Costs of labor to operate the wells and related equipment and facilities. (B) Repairs and maintenance. (C) Materials, supplies, and fuel consumed and supplies utilized in operating the wells and related equipment and facilities. (D) Property taxes and insurance applicable to proved properties and wells and related equipment and facilities. (E) Severance taxes. (ii) Some support equipment or facilities may serve two or more oil and gas producing activities and may also serve transportation, refining, and marketing activities. To the extent that the support equipment and facilities are used in oil and gas producing activities, their depreciation and applicable operating costs become exploration, development or production costs, as appropriate. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration, and development costs are not production costs but also become part of the cost of oil and gas produced along with production (lifting) costs identified above. (21) Proved area. The part of a property to which proved reserves have been specifically attributed. (22) Proved oil and gas reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. (i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes: (A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. (ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty. (iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty. (iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when: (A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and


 
DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a) Definitions - Page 5 of 6 (B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities. (v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. (23) Proved properties. Properties with proved reserves. (24) Reasonable certainty. If deterministic methods are used, reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. A high degree of confidence exists if the quantity is much more likely to be achieved than not, and, as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical, and geochemical), engineering, and economic data are made to estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) with time, reasonably certain EUR is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease. (25) Reliable technology. Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation. (26) Reserves. Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the project. Note to paragraph (a)(26): Reserves should not be assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible. Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e., absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir, or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations). Excerpted from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas: 932-235-50-30 A standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to an entity's interests in both of the following shall be disclosed as of the end of the year: a. Proved oil and gas reserves (see paragraphs 932-235-50-3 through 50-11B) b. Oil and gas subject to purchase under long-term supply, purchase, or similar agreements and contracts in which the entity participates in the operation of the properties on which the oil or gas is located or otherwise serves as the producer of those reserves (see paragraph 932-235-50-7). The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to those two types of interests in reserves may be combined for reporting purposes. 932-235-50-31 All of the following information shall be disclosed in the aggregate and for each geographic area for which reserve quantities are disclosed in accordance with paragraphs 932-235-50-3 through 50-11B: a. Future cash inflows. These shall be computed by applying prices used in estimating the entity's proved oil and gas reserves to the year-end quantities of those reserves. Future price changes shall be considered only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements in existence at year-end. b. Future development and production costs. These costs shall be computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. If estimated development expenditures are significant, they shall be presented separately from estimated production costs. c. Future income tax expenses. These expenses shall be computed by applying the appropriate year-end statutory tax rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated, to the future pretax net cash flows relating to the entity's proved oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the properties involved. The future income tax expenses shall give effect to tax deductions and tax credits and allowances relating to the entity's proved oil and gas reserves. d. Future net cash flows. These amounts are the result of subtracting future development and production costs and future income tax expenses from future cash inflows.


 
DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES Adapted from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 210.4-10(a) Definitions - Page 6 of 6 e. Discount. This amount shall be derived from using a discount rate of 10 percent a year to reflect the timing of the future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves. f. Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. This amount is the future net cash flows less the computed discount. (27) Reservoir. A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reservoirs. (28) Resources. Resources are quantities of oil and gas estimated to exist in naturally occurring accumulations. A portion of the resources may be estimated to be recoverable, and another portion may be considered to be unrecoverable. Resources include both discovered and undiscovered accumulations. (29) Service well. A well drilled or completed for the purpose of supporting production in an existing field. Specific purposes of service wells include gas injection, water injection, steam injection, air injection, salt-water disposal, water supply for injection, observation, or injection for in-situ combustion. (30) Stratigraphic test well. A stratigraphic test well is a drilling effort, geologically directed, to obtain information pertaining to a specific geologic condition. Such wells customarily are drilled without the intent of being completed for hydrocarbon production. The classification also includes tests identified as core tests and all types of expendable holes related to hydrocarbon exploration. Stratigraphic tests are classified as "exploratory type" if not drilled in a known area or "development type" if drilled in a known area. (31) Undeveloped oil and gas reserves. Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. (i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances. (ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time. From the SEC's Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (October 26, 2009): Although several types of projects — such as constructing offshore platforms and development in urban areas, remote locations or environmentally sensitive locations — by their nature customarily take a longer time to develop and therefore often do justify longer time periods, this determination must always take into consideration all of the facts and circumstances. No particular type of project per se justifies a longer time period, and any extension beyond five years should be the exception, and not the rule. Factors that a company should consider in determining whether or not circumstances justify recognizing reserves even though development may extend past five years include, but are not limited to, the following:  The company's level of ongoing significant development activities in the area to be developed (for example, drilling only the minimum number of wells necessary to maintain the lease generally would not constitute significant development activities);  The company's historical record at completing development of comparable long-term projects;  The amount of time in which the company has maintained the leases, or booked the reserves, without significant development activities;  The extent to which the company has followed a previously adopted development plan (for example, if a company has changed its development plan several times without taking significant steps to implement any of those plans, recognizing proved undeveloped reserves typically would not be appropriate); and  The extent to which delays in development are caused by external factors related to the physical operating environment (for example, restrictions on development on Federal lands, but not obtaining government permits), rather than by internal factors (for example, shifting resources to develop properties with higher priority). (iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty. (32) Unproved properties. Properties with no proved reserves.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.


 
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Rosneft Oil Company at December 31, 2019, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Rosneft Oil Company Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2020 (all amounts in tables are in billions of Russian rubles, except as noted otherwise) 1. General Public Joint Stock Company (“PJSC”) Rosneft Oil Company (“Rosneft”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are principally engaged in exploration, development, production and sale of crude oil and gas and refining, transportation and sale of petroleum products in the Russian Federation and in certain international markets. Rosneft State Enterprise was incorporated as an open joint stock company on December 7, 1995. All assets and liabilities previously managed by Rosneft State Enterprise were transferred to the Company at their book value effective on that date together with ownership rights to other privatized oil and gas companies belonging to the Government of the Russian Federation (the “State”). The transfer of assets and liabilities was made in accordance with Russian Government Resolution No. 971 dated September 29, 1995, On the Transformation of Rosneft State Enterprise into Open Joint Stock Company “Oil Company Rosneft”. These transfers involved the reorganization of assets under the common control of the State and, accordingly, were accounted for at their book value. In 2005, the State contributed the shares of Rosneft to the share capital of JSC ROSNEFTEGAS. As of December 31, 2005, 100% of the shares of Rosneft less one share were owned by JSC ROSNEFTEGAS and one share was owned by the Russian Federation Federal Agency for the Management of Federal Property. Subsequently, JSC ROSNEFTEGAS’s ownership interest decreased through the additional issue of shares during Rosneft’s Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) in Russia, an issue of Global Depository Receipts (“GDR”) for shares on the London Stock Exchange and the share swap between Rosneft and certain subsidiaries in 2006. As of December 31, 2020 JSC ROSNEFTEGAS’s owned 40.4% shares in Rosneft. Under Russian legislation, natural resources, including oil, gas, precious metals and minerals and other commercial minerals situated in the territory of the Russian Federation, are the property of the State until they are extracted. Law of the Russian Federation No. 2395-1, On Subsurface Resources, regulates relations arising in connection with the geological study, development and extraction, use and protection of subsurface resources in the territory of the Russian Federation. Pursuant to the law, subsurface resources may be developed only on the basis of a license. A license is issued by the regional governmental body and contains information on the site to be developed and the period of activity, as well as financial and other conditions. The Company holds licenses issued by competent authorities for the geological study, exploration and development of oil and gas blocks, fields, and shelf in areas within Russian Federation where its subsidiaries are located. The Company is subject to export quotas set by the Russian Federation State Pipeline Commission to allow equal access to the limited capacity of the oil pipeline system owned and operated by PJSC AK Transneft. The Company exports certain quantities of crude oil through bypassing the PJSC AK Transneft system thus achieving higher export capacity. The remaining production is processed at the Company’s and third parties’ refineries for further sale on domestic and international markets. 2. Basis of preparation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, including all International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and effective in the reporting period, and are fully compliant therewith. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (Note 37).


 
2. Basis of preparation (continued) Rosneft and its subsidiaries maintain their books and records in accordance with statutory accounting and taxation principles and practices applicable in respective jurisdictions. These consolidated financial statements were derived from the Company’s statutory books and records. In course of preparation of these consolidated financial statements the Company’s management considered the current international economic environment including complex of uncertainties due to COVID-19 pandemic. These consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in billions of Russian rubles (“RUB”), unless otherwise indicated. The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company on February 12, 2021. Subsequent events have been evaluated through February 12, 2021, the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. 3. Significant accounting policies The accompanying consolidated financial statements differ from the financial statements issued for statutory purposes in accordance with Russian accounting principles (RAP) in that they reflect certain adjustments, not recorded in the Company’s statutory books, which are appropriate for presenting the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with IFRS. The principal adjustments relate to: (1) recognition of certain expenses; (2) valuation and depreciation of property, plant and equipment; (3) deferred income taxes; (4) impairment of assets; (5) accounting for the time value of money; (6) accounting for investments in oil and gas property and conveyances; (7) consolidation principles; (8) recognition and disclosure of guarantees, contingencies, commitments and certain other assets and liabilities; (9) business combinations and goodwill; (10) accounting for derivative instruments; (11) purchase price allocation to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent and its subsidiaries presented as those of a single economic entity. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The equity method is used to account for investments in associates in which the Company has the ability to exert significant influence over the associates’ operating and financial policies. Investments in entities where the Company holds the majority of shares, but does not exercise control, are also accounted for using the equity method. Investments in other companies are accounted for at fair value or cost adjusted for impairment, if any. Determination of the level of control or influence in the entities where the Company holds a share is carried out taking into account the powers established by the agreement in respect of the investment and the existing rights that provide the Company with the opportunity to manage significant activities at the present time. Business combinations and goodwill Acquisitions by the Company of controlling interests in third parties (or interest in their charter capital) are accounted for using the acquisition method. The date of acquisition is the date when effective control over the acquiree passes to the Company.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Business combinations and goodwill (continued) The cost of an acquisition is measured as an aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or a liability should be recognized within profit or loss for the period if they do not represent measurement-period adjustments. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be re-measured. Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of non-controlling interest is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired and liabilities assumed, the difference is recognized in profit or loss for the period. From the date of initial recognition, goodwill is measured at initial cost less accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination shall, from the acquisition date, be allocated to the Company’s cash-generating units, which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or groups of units. If the Company disposes of a part of a cash generating unit, the goodwill associated with the part disposed of shall be included in the carrying amount of this part when determining the gain or loss on disposal; the above mentioned part of goodwill to be disposed of shall be measured on the basis of the relative values of the part disposed of and the total value of the cash-generating unit. The Company reassesses whether it controls the investees when facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one of the three elements of control. Associates Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method unless they are classified as non-current assets held for sale. Under this method, the carrying value of investments in associates is initially recognized at the acquisition cost. The carrying value of investments in associates is increased or decreased by the Company’s reported share in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the investee after the acquisition date. The Company’s share in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of an associate is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of profit or loss or in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, respectively. Dividends paid by the associate are accounted for as a reduction of the carrying value of investments.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Associates (continued) The Company’s net investments in associates include the carrying value of the investments in these associates as well as other long-term investments that, in substance, form part of the Company’s net investments in associates. For example, an item for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future is, in substance, an extension of the Company’s investment in that associate. Such items may include entry bonuses, preference shares and long-term receivables or loans, but do not include trade receivables, trade payables or any long-term receivables for which adequate collateral exists, such as secured loans. If the share in losses exceeds the carrying value of the investments in associates and the value of other long-term investments related to investments in these associates, the Company ceases to recognize its share in losses when the carrying value reaches zero. Any additional losses are provided for and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Company has legal or constructive obligations or has made payments on behalf of the associate. If the associate subsequently makes profits, the Company resumes recognizing its share in these profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognized. The carrying value of investments in associates is tested for impairment by reconciling its recoverable amount (the higher of its value in use and fair value less costs to sell) to its carrying value, whenever impairment indicators are identified. Joint arrangements The Company participates in joint arrangements either in the form of joint ventures or joint operations. A joint venture implies that the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint venture involves establishing a legal entity where the Company and other participants have respective equity interests. Equity interests in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method, as described above in respect of associates. The Company’s share in net profit or loss and in other comprehensive income of joint ventures is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, respectively, from the date when joint control commences until the date when joint control ceases. A joint operation implies that the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. In relation to its interest in a joint operation the Company recognizes its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly, its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly, its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation, its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation, and expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. Cash and cash equivalents Cash represents cash on hand, in the Company’s bank accounts, in transit and interest-bearing deposits which can be effectively withdrawn at any time without prior notice or any penalties reducing the principal amount of the deposit. Cash equivalents are highly liquid, short-term investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less from their date of purchase. They are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet if its amount is significant. Financial assets The Company recognizes financial assets in its balance sheet when, and only when, it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. When financial assets are recognized initially, they are measured at fair value, which is usually the price of the transaction, i.e. the fair value of consideration paid or received.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Financial assets (continued) When financial assets are recognized initially, they are classified as one of the following, as appropriate: (1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; (2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, or (3) Financial assets at amortised cost. The Company classifies financial assets on the basis of both the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets, as well as the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. However, the Company may make an irrevocable election at initial recognition for particular instruments in equity instruments that would otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. All derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value in either current financial assets, non-current financial assets, current liabilities related to derivative instruments, or non-current liabilities related to derivative instruments. The recognition and classification of a gain or loss that results from recognition of an adjustment of a derivative instrument at fair value depends on the purpose for issuing or holding the derivative instrument. Gains and losses from derivatives that are not accounted for as hedges under International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 9 Financial Instruments are recognized immediately in the profit or loss for the period. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair value of financial assets at fair value that are quoted in an active market is defined as bid prices for assets and ask prices for issued liabilities as of the measurement date. If no active market exists for financial assets, the Company measures the fair value using the following methods: • Analysis of recent transactions with peer instruments between independent parties; • Current fair value of similar financial instruments; • Discounting future cash flows. The discount rate reflects the minimum return on investment an investor is willing to accept before starting an alternative project, given its risk and the opportunity cost of forgoing other projects. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: (a) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and (b) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Examples of financial assets that may fall into this category are loans given, accounts receivable, bonds and notes issued by 3rd parties, which are not quoted at active market – if they fulfill the requirements set above.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Financial assets (continued) A financial asset shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met: (a) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and (b) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. In particular, this category includes shares of other companies, which are not included in the category of measured at fair value through profit or loss. Dividends and interest income are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on an accrual basis. The amount of accrued interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate. Upon de-recognition of debt financial assets (bonds, notes etc.) classified as financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. In case of equity financial assets (shares, stocks etc.), classified as financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, such cumulative gain or loss shall never be subsequently transferred to profit or loss. Interest income as a component of finance income is disclosed in the notes to financial statements separately for each category of financial assets. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date. Financial liabilities The Company recognizes financial liabilities on its balance sheet when, and only when, it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. When financial liabilities are recognized initially, they are measured at fair value, which is usually the price of the transaction, i.e. the fair value of consideration paid or received. When financial liabilities are recognized initially, they are classified as one of the following: • Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; • Other financial liabilities. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading unless such liabilities are linked to the delivery of unquoted equity instruments. At the initial recognition, the Company may include in this category any financial liability, except for equity instruments that are not quoted in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. After initial recognition, however, the liability cannot be reclassified. Financial liabilities not classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are designated as other financial liabilities. Other financial liabilities include, inter alia, trade and other accounts payable, and loans and borrowings payable.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Financial liabilities (continued) Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost. The Company writes off a financial liability (or part of a financial liability) from its balance sheet when, and only when, it is extinguished – i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying value of a financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) extinguished or transferred to another party and the redemption value, including any transferred non-monetary assets and assumed liabilities, is recognized in profit or loss. Any previously recognized components of comprehensive income pertaining to this financial liability are also included in the financial result and are recognized as gains and losses for the period. Cash flows from the operating activities of subsidiary banks are included within operating activities of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Operating liabilities of subsidiary banks, including interbank loans, customer deposits, promissory notes and REPO obligations, are included within Accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the corresponding period. In the absence of any securities-to-shares conversion transactions, the amount of basic earnings per share stated in these consolidated financial statements is equal to the amount of diluted earnings per share. Treasury shares Treasury shares are outstanding Treasury shares purchased from the shareholders. Treasury shares are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as a deduction from equity at cost of repurchase. Inventories Inventories consisting primarily of crude oil, petroleum products, petrochemicals and materials and supplies are accounted for at the weighted average cost unless net realizable value is less than cost. Materials that are used in production are not written down below cost if the finished products into which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold above cost. Repurchase and resale agreements Securities sold under repurchase agreements (“REPO”) and securities purchased under agreements to resell (“reverse REPO”) generally do not constitute a sale of the underlying securities for accounting purposes, and so are treated as collateralized financing transactions. Interest paid or received on all REPO and reverse REPO transactions is recorded in Finance expense or Finance income, respectively, at the contractually specified rate using the effective interest method. Exploration and production assets Exploration and production assets include exploration and evaluation assets, mineral rights and oil and gas properties (development assets and production assets).


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Exploration and evaluation costs The Company recognizes exploration and evaluation costs using the successful efforts method as permitted by IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Under this method, costs related to exploration and evaluation (license acquisition costs, exploration and appraisal drilling) are temporarily capitalized in cost centers by field (well) until the drilling program results in the discovery of economically feasible oil and gas reserves. The length of time necessary for this determination depends on the specific technical or economic difficulties in assessing the recoverability of the reserves. If a determination is made that the well did not encounter oil and gas in economically viable quantities, the well costs are expensed to Exploration expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Exploration and evaluation costs, except for costs associated with seismic, topographical, geological, and geophysical surveys, are initially capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets. Exploration and evaluation assets are recognized at cost less impairment, if any, as property, plant and equipment until the existence (or absence) of commercial reserves has been established. The initial cost of exploration and evaluation assets acquired through a business combination is formed as a result of purchase price allocation. The cost allocation to mineral rights for proved properties and mineral rights for unproved properties is performed based on the respective oil and gas reserves information. Exploration and evaluation assets are subject to technical, commercial and management review as well as review for indicators of impairment at least once a year. This is to confirm the continued intent to develop or otherwise extract value from the discovery. When indicators of impairment are present, an impairment test is performed. If, subsequently, commercial reserves are discovered, the carrying value, less losses from impairment of the respective exploration and evaluation assets, is classified as oil and gas properties (development assets). However, if no commercial reserves are discovered, such costs are expensed after exploration and evaluation activities have been completed. Development and production Oil and gas properties (development assets) are accounted for on a field-by-field basis and represent (1) capitalized costs to develop discovered commercial reserves and to put fields into production, and (2) exploration and evaluation costs incurred to discover commercial reserves reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets to oil and gas properties (development assets) following the discovery of commercial reserves. The cost of oil and gas properties (development assets) also includes the expenditures to acquire such assets, directly identifiable overhead expenses, capitalized financing costs and related asset retirement (decommissioning) obligation costs. Oil and gas properties (development assets) are generally recognized as construction in progress. Following the commencement of commercial production, oil and gas properties (development assets) are reclassified as oil and gas properties (production assets). Other property, plant and equipment Other property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost as of the acquisition date, except for property, plant and equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2009, which is stated at deemed cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment. The cost of maintenance, repairs, and the replacement of minor items of property is charged to operating expenses. Renewals and betterments of assets are capitalized.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Other property, plant and equipment (continued) Upon the sale or retirement of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts. Any resulting gains or losses are included in profit or loss. Depreciation, depletion and amortization Oil and gas properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method on a field-by-field basis starting from the commencement of commercial production. In applying the unit-of-production method to mineral licenses, the depletion rate is based on total proved reserves. In applying the unit-of-production method to producing wells and the related oil and gas infrastructure, the depletion rate is based on proved developed reserves. Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives from the time they are ready for use, except for catalysts which are amortized using the unit-of-production method. Components of other property, plant and equipment and their respective estimated useful lives are as follows: Property, plant and equipment Useful life, not more than Buildings and structures 30-45 years Plant and machinery 5-25 years Vehicles and other property, plant and equipment 6-10 years Service vessels 20 years Offshore drilling assets 20 years Land generally has an indefinite useful life and is therefore not depreciated. Intangible assets (excl. goodwill) Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Construction grants The Company recognizes construction grants from local governments when there is a reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached and that the grant will be received. The construction grants are accounted for as a reduction of the cost of the asset for which the grant is received. Impairment of non-current assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset or cash-generating unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or cash-generating unit.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Impairment of non-current assets (continued) In assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the Company considers internal and external sources of information. It considers at least the following: External sources of information: • During the period, an asset’s market value has declined significantly more than would be expected as a result of the passage of time or normal use; • Significant changes with an adverse effect on the Company have taken place during the period, or will take place in the near future, in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the Company operates or in the market to which an asset is dedicated; • Market interest rates or other market rates of return on investments have increased during the period, and those increases are likely to affect the discount rate used in calculating an asset’s value in use and decrease the asset’s recoverable amount materially; • The carrying amount of the net assets of the Company is more than its market capitalization. Internal sources of information: • Evidence is available of obsolescence or physical damage of an asset; • Significant changes with an adverse effect on the Company have taken place during the period, or are expected to take place in the near future, in the extent to which, or manner in which, an asset is used or is expected to be used (e.g., the asset becoming idle, or the useful life of an asset is reassessed as finite rather than indefinite); • Information on dividends from a subsidiary, joint venture or associate; • Evidence is available from internal reporting that indicates that the economic performance of an asset is, or will be, worse than expected. Such evidence includes the existence of: • Cash flows on acquiring the asset, or subsequent cash needs for operating or maintaining it, that are significantly higher than those originally budgeted; • Actual net cash flows or operating profit or loss flowing from the asset that are significantly worse than those budgeted; • A significant decline in budgeted net cash flows or operating profit, or a significant increase in budgeted losses, flowing from the asset; • Operating losses or net cash outflows for the asset, when current period amounts are aggregated with budgeted amounts for the future. The following factors indicate that exploration and evaluation assets may be impaired: • The period for which the Company has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; • Substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; • Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the Company has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; • Sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Impairment of non-current assets (continued) The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of: • The value in use of an asset (cash-generating unit); and • The fair value of an asset (cash-generating unit) less costs to sell. If the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets, its recoverable amount is determined for the asset’s cash-generating unit. The Company initially measures the value in use of a cash-generating unit. When the carrying amount of a cash-generating unit is greater than its value in use, the Company measures the unit’s fair value for the purpose of measuring the recoverable amount. When the fair value is less than the carrying value an impairment loss is recognized. Value in use is determined by discounting the estimated value of the future cash inflows expected to be derived from the asset or cash-generating unit, including cash inflows from its sale. The value of the future cash inflows from a cash-generating unit is determined based on the forecast approved by management of the business unit to which the unit in question pertains. Impairment of financial assets At each balance sheet date the Company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses on a financial asset measured at amortised cost, and at fair value through other comprehensive income, a lease receivable, a contract asset or a loan commitment and a financial guarantee contract to which the impairment requirements apply. Requirements of IFRS 9 concerning impairment do not apply to equity instruments of any category as well as to the instruments at fair value though profit or loss. Expected credit losses for significant counterparties, including banks, are determined based on credit rating of particular counterparty and relevant probability of default. The allowance for financial asset at amortised cost is recognized in profit or loss in correspondence with a balance sheet account reducing the carrying amount of the financial asset. The allowance for financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income shall be recognized in other comprehensive income and shall not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position. Total increase in the allowance for expected credit losses on the financial assets totaled RUB 53 billion in 2020; total decrease of this allowance for the same year totaled RUB 58 billion; above mentioned movements are recognized within the Statement of profit or loss of the Company. Bank loans granted by the subsidiary banks of the Company are presented in consolidated financial statements net of provision for expected credit losses. The provision for such expected credit losses totaled RUB 8 billion and RUB 13 billion as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Capitalized interest Interest expense on borrowed funds used for capital construction projects and the acquisition of property, plant and equipment is capitalized provided that the interest expense could have been avoided if the Company had not made capital investments. Interest is capitalized only during the period when construction activities are actually in progress and until the resulting properties are put into operation. Capitalized borrowing costs include exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Leasing agreements In respect of the contracts (or separate components of a contract), which convey to the Company the right to control the use of an identified asset (as it is determined in IFRS 16 Lease) for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date. Non-lease components of the contract are accounted for in accordance with other relevant IFRS. In accordance with requirements of IFRS 16 Lease para 3-8, the Company does not apply the Standard to leases to explore for or use minerals, oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources and to leases of wells, to short-term leases (taking into consideration economically feasible prolongations), as well as to leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (less kRUB 300). The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both: periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate, as interest rate implicit in the lease, as a rule, cannot be readily determined. As the finance function lays predominantly within the parent company, incremental borrowing rates are calculated centrally, except for the banks of the Group and cases of direct financing of the subsidiaries. At the commencement date, the Company measures the right-of-use asset at cost, which comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee, an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. Lease payments are evenly distributed between finance expenses and a decrease of a lease liability so that a constant periodic rate of interest is produced on the remaining balance of the lease liability. Finance expenses are recognized in Consolidated statement of profit or loss. In respect of subsequent accounting for a leased property the same accounting policies are applied as for the owned assets, e.g. depreciation policy. Asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations The Company has asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations associated with its core business activities. The nature of the assets and potential obligations are as follows: The Company’s exploration, development and production activities involve the use of wells, related equipment and operating sites, oil gathering and treatment facilities, tank farms and in-field pipelines. Generally, licenses and other regulatory acts require that such assets be decommissioned upon the completion of production. According to these requirements, the Company is obliged to decommission wells, dismantle equipment, restore the sites and perform other related activities. The Company’s estimates of these obligations are based on current regulatory or license requirements, as well as actual dismantling and other related costs. These liabilities are measured by the Company using the present value of the estimated future costs of decommissioning of these assets. The discount rate is reviewed at each reporting date and reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations (continued) In accordance with IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) Interpretation 1 Changes in Existing Decommissioning, Restoration and Similar Liabilities, the provision is reviewed at each balance sheet date as follows: • Upon changes in the estimates of future cash flows (e.g., the costs of and timeframe for abandoning one well) or the discount rate, changes in the amount of the liability are included in the cost of the item of property, plant, and equipment, whereby such cost may not be negative and may not exceed the recoverable value of the item of property, plant, and equipment; • Any changes in the liability due to its nearing maturity (change in the discount) are recognized in Finance expenses. The Company’s refining and distribution activities involve refining operations, marine and other distribution terminals, and retail sales. The Company’s refining operations consist of major petrochemical operations and industrial complexes. Legal or contractual asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations related to petrochemical, oil refining and distribution activities are not recognized due to the limited history of such activities in these segments, the lack of clear legal requirements as to the recognition of obligations, as well as the fact that decommissioning periods for such assets are not determinable. Because of the reasons described above, the fair value of an asset retirement (decommissioning) obligation in the refining and distribution segment cannot be reasonably estimated. Due to continuous changes in the Russian regulatory and legal environment, there could be future changes to the requirements and contingencies associated with the retirement of long-lived assets. Income tax Since 2012 Russian tax legislation has allowed income taxes to be calculated on a consolidated basis. The main subsidiaries of the Company were therefore combined into a consolidated group of taxpayers (Note 15). For subsidiaries which are not included in the consolidated group of taxpayers, income tax is calculated on an individual subsidiary basis. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in the amount determined by the Company in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes. Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from: • The initial recognition of goodwill; • The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which: • Is not a business combination; and • Affects neither accounting profit, nor taxable profit; • Investments in subsidiaries when the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Income tax (continued) A prior period tax loss planned to be used to reduce the current or future amount of income tax is recognized as a deferred tax asset. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized, unless the deferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that: • Is not a business combination; and • At the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). The Company recognizes deferred tax assets for all deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, to the extent that the following two conditions are met: • The temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and • Taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the taxation authority of the same jurisdiction and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date. The Company reduces the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as Non-current Deferred tax assets and Non-current Deferred tax liabilities, respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Recognition of revenues Revenues are recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset, which usually occurs when the title is passed, provided that the contract price is fixed or determinable and collectability of the amount of the consideration is probable. Specifically, domestic sales of crude oil and gas, as well as petroleum products and materials are usually recognized when title passes. For export sales, title generally passes at the border of the Russian Federation. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account the amount of any trade discounts, volume rebates and reimbursable taxes.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Recognition of revenues (continued) Sales of support services are recognized as services are performed provided that the service price can be determined and no significant uncertainties regarding the receipt of revenues exist. Transportation expenses Transportation expenses recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss represent all expenses incurred by the Company to transport crude oil for refining and to end customers, and to deliver petroleum products from refineries to end customers (these may include pipeline tariffs and any additional railroad transportation costs, handling costs, port fees, sea freight and other costs). Refinery maintenance costs The Company recognizes the costs of overhauls and preventive maintenance performed with respect to oil refining assets as expenses when incurred. Environmental liabilities Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and do not have a future economic benefit, are expensed. Liabilities for these expenditures are recorded when environmental assessments or clean-ups are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies Certain conditions may exist as of the date of these consolidated financial statements which may further result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management makes an assessment of such contingent liabilities which is based on assumptions and is a matter of opinion. In assessing loss contingencies relating to legal or tax proceedings that involve the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, after consultation with legal or tax advisors, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal or tax proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. Provisions and contingent liabilities do not constitute finally asserted legal obligations of PJSC “Rosneft Oil Company”. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve financial guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed. However, in some instances in which disclosure is not otherwise required, the Company may disclose contingent liabilities or other uncertainties of an unusual nature which, in the judgment of management after consultation with its legal or tax counsel, may be of interest to shareholders or others.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities Refundable taxes (excise and value-added tax (“VAT”)) are deducted from revenues. Other taxes and duties are not deducted from revenues and are recognized as expenses in Taxes other than income tax in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. VAT and excise receivable and payable are recognized as Prepayments and other current assets and Other tax liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, respectively. Excises non-refundable by customers Excises non-refundable by customers are presented within Taxes other than income tax in the Consolidated statement of profit or loss. The expenses mentioned above are decreased by reverse excise on petroleum crudes. Tax on additional income (AIT) AIT is recognized as an expense within Taxes other than income tax in Consolidated statement of profit or loss. Functional and presentation currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in Russian rubles, which is the functional currency of Rosneft Oil Company and all of its subsidiaries operating in the Russian Federation. The functional currency of the foreign subsidiaries is generally the U.S. dollar. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of these transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year-end exchange rates are recognized in the profit or loss for the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities designated as foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments are recognized within other comprehensive income and reclassified to profit or loss in the period when the hedged item affects profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. Company’s subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates The results and financial position of all of the Company’s subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates that have a functional currency which is different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at that reporting date; • Income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and • All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of comprehensive income.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Prepayment on oil and petroleum products supply agreements In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into long-term oil supply contracts. The contract terms may require the buyer to make a prepayment. The Company considers long-term oil supply contracts to be regular-way sale contracts entered into and continued to be held for the purpose of the receipt or delivery of non-financial items in accordance with the Company’s expected purchase, sale or usage requirements. Regular-way sale contracts are exempted from the scope of IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Conditions for meeting the definition of a regular-way sale are not met if either of the following applies: • The ability to settle net in cash or another financial instrument, or by exchanging financial instruments, is not explicit in the terms of the contract, but the Company has a practice of settling similar contracts net in cash or via another financial instrument or by exchanging financial instruments (whether with the counterparty, by entering into offsetting contracts or by selling the contract before its exercise or lapse); • For similar contracts, the Company has a practice of taking delivery of the underlying goods and selling them within a short period after delivery for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in price or from a dealer’s margin. Prepayments received for the delivery of goods or respective deferred revenue are accounted for as non- financial liabilities because the outflow of economic benefits associated with them is the delivery of goods and services rather than a contractual obligation to pay cash or another financial asset. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the adoption of the amendments to existing standards as well as revised version of Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting effective as of January 1, 2020. The following amendments were applied for the first time in 2020: • Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The amendments enhanced definition of a business set out by the standard. As far as the amendments must be prospectively applied to transactions that are either business combinations or asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the date of initial application, consequently the amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements as of the transfer date. • Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures and IFRS 9 Financial instruments named Interest Rate Benchmark Reform. The amendments provided relief from certain requirements of hedge accounting, as their fulfillment could lead to discontinuation of hedge accounting due to uncertainty caused by the reform. The amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. • Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 introduced new definition of material. The amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. • Revised version of Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. In particular, the revised version introduced new definitions of assets and liabilities, as well as amended definitions of income and expenses. The revised version of Conceptual Framework did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. • Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases named COVID-19-related Rent Concessions. The amendments provides relief to lessees from assessment whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification. The amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, as the Company has not received significant rent concessions related to pandemic.


 
4. Significant accounting judgements, estimations and assumptions The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make a number of accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The actual results, however, could differ from those estimates. The most significant accounting estimates and assumptions used by the Company’s management in preparing the consolidated financial statements include: • Estimation of oil and gas reserves; • Estimation of rights to, recoverability and useful lives of non-current assets; • Impairment of goodwill, fixed assets and right-of-use assets (Note 25 “Intangible assets and goodwill”, Note 23 “Property, plant and equipment and construction in progress” and Note 24 “Lease agreements”); • Estimated credit losses for accounts receivable (Note 20 “Accounts receivable” etc.); • Assessment of asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations (Note 3 “Significant accounting policies”, section: “Asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations”, and Note 32 “Provisions”); • Assessment of legal and tax contingencies, recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities (Note 40 “Contingencies”); • Assessment of deferred income tax assets and liabilities (Note 3 “Significant accounting policies”, section: “Income tax”, and Note 15 “Income tax”); • Assessment of environmental remediation obligations (Note 32 “Provisions” and Note 40 “Contingencies”); • Fair value measurements (Note 37 “Fair value of financial instruments”); • Purchase price allocation to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed (Note 7 “Acquisition of subsidiaries and shares in joint operations”); • Treatment of certain taxes as income taxes, production taxes or other taxes, e.g. treatment of the tax on additional income (Note 3 “Significant accounting policies”); • Assessment of the COVID-19 pandemic impact on financial position and financial results of the Company (Note 20 “Accounts receivable” etc.). Significant estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts are those used in determining the economic recoverability of reserves. Such estimates and assumptions may change over time when new information becomes available, e.g.: • More detailed information on reserves was obtained (either as a result of more detailed engineering calculations or additional exploration drilling activities); • Supplemental activities to enhance oil recovery were conducted; • Changes were made in economic estimates and assumptions (e.g. a change in pricing factors).


 
5. New and amended standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts. IFRS 17 establishes a single framework for the accounting for insurance contracts and contains requirements for related disclosures. The new standard replaces IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements named Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current. The amendments clarify requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023; earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, as the Company already applies criteria set by the amendments. In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations named Reference to the Conceptual Framework. The amendments replace references to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting with the current version issued in March 2018, without significantly changing the requirements of the standard. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2022; earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment named Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds Before Intended Use. The amendments prohibit entities from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds of the sale of items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2022 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets named Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract. The amendments specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2022; earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments as well as IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16 Leases named Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase II. The amendments provide certain temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects related to the transfer to the risk-free interest rate. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2021; earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Additionally a number of amendments, not yet effective, were issued during annual improvement process conducted by IASB. They include the amendments to IFRS 1 Fist-time Adoption named First-time Adoption: Subsidiary as a First-time Adopter, and the amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments named Fees in the ‘10 per cent’ Test for Derecognition of Financial Liabilities. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not plan for early adoption in respect of above-mentioned new standards and amendments to existing standards to which this option is available, except for the amendment named Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current.


 
6. Capital and financial risk management Capital management The Company’s capital management objectives are to ensure its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimize the cost of capital in order to enhance value to shareholders. Total capital employed and financial liabilities less liquid financial assets are non-IFRS measures. The Company’s management performs a regular assessment of the financial liabilities less liquid financial assets to capital employed ratio to ensure it meets the Company’s requirements to fulfil the Company’s commitments and to retain strong financial stability. The Company’s employed capital is calculated as the sum of equity attributable to equity holders of Rosneft: share capital, reserves, retained earnings and non-controlling interests; financial liabilities, which include long and short-term loans and borrowings, other financial liabilities, as reported in the consolidated balance sheet, less liquid financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, other short-term financial assets and certain long-term deposits. The Company’s financial liabilities less liquid financial assets to capital employed ratio was as follows: As of December 31, 2020 (unaudited) 2019 Financial liabilities less liquid financial assets to capital employed ratio, % 34.3% 37.0% Financial risk management In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the following financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company has introduced a risk management system and developed a number of procedures to measure, assess and monitor risks and select the relevant risk management techniques. The Company has developed, documented and approved the relevant policies pertaining to market, credit and liquidity risks and the use of derivative financial instruments. Commodity price risk The Company operates in the worldwide and domestic markets for crude oil, petroleum products and petrochemicals and is exposed to price risk due to price fluctuations in the global and domestic markets. Changes in commodity prices can have a significant impact on the results of current operations and the efficiency of investments in new projects. The Company regularly analyzes its exposure to price risk, including modeling the possible behavior of crude oil and petroleum products prices, export and domestic margins. Information on the assessment of market risks, including commodity price risk, is provided to the management of the Company on an ongoing basis. Foreign exchange risk The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the U.S. dollar and euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from assets, liabilities, commercial transactions and financing denominated in foreign currencies.


 
6. Capital and financial risk management (continued) Foreign exchange risk (continued) The carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are presented in the table below: Assets Liabilities As of December 31, As of December 31, 2020 (unaudited) 2019 2020 (unaudited) 2019 US$ 1,347 1,351 (2,182) (1,688) EUR 222 138 (386) (330) Total 1,569 1,489 (2,568) (2,018) The Company seeks to identify and manage foreign exchange rate risk in a comprehensive manner, including an integrated analysis of natural economic hedges, in order to benefit from the correlation between income and expenses. The Company chooses the currency in which to hold cash, such as the Russian ruble, U.S. dollar or other currency for short-term risk management purposes. The Company performs analysis of its exposure to foreign exchange rate risk on regular basis, including modeling of the possible behavior of the exchange rate of Russian ruble to U.S. dollar and euro to U.S. dollar. The long-term risk management strategy of the Company may involve the use of derivative or non-derivative financial instruments in order to minimize foreign exchange rate risk exposure. Cash flow hedging of the Company’s future exports The Company designated certain U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings as a hedge of the expected highly probable U.S. dollar-denominated export revenue stream in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. A portion of future monthly export revenues expected to be received in U.S. dollars was designated as a hedged item. The nominal amounts of the hedged item and the hedging instruments were equal. To the extent that a change in the foreign currency rate impacts the fair value of the hedging instrument, the effects are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss and then reclassified to profit or loss in the period in which the hedged item affects the profit or loss. The Company’s foreign currency risk management strategy is to hedge future export revenue in the amount of the net monetary position in U.S. dollars. The Company aligns the hedged nominal amount to the net monetary position in U.S. dollars on a periodical basis. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 hedge instruments are not designated. The impact of foreign exchange cash flow hedges recognized in other comprehensive income is set out below: 2020 (unaudited) 2019 Before income tax Income tax Net of tax Before income tax Income tax Net of tax Total recognized in other comprehensive (loss)/income as of the beginning of the year 2 – 2 (144) 29 (115) Foreign exchange effects recognized during the year – – – – – – Foreign exchange effects reclassified to profit or loss (2) – (2) 146 (29) 117 Total recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss) for the year (2) – (2) 146 (29) 117 Total recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss) as of the end of the year – – – 2 – 2


 
6. Capital and financial risk management (continued) Analysis of sensitivity of financial instruments to foreign currency risk The level of currency risk is assessed on a monthly basis using mathematical modeling methods, as well as sensitivity analysis. The table below summarizes the impact on the Company’s income before income tax and equity of the depreciation/(appreciation) of the U.S. dollar and euro against the Russian ruble. U.S. dollar effect Euro effect 2020 (unaudited) 2019 2020 (unaudited) 2019 Currency rate change in % 17.00% 7.74% 17.24% 7.48% Gain/(loss) 177/(177) 34/(34) 29/(29) (6)/6 Equity (255)/255 (56)/56 13/(13) (1)/1 Interest rate risk Loans and borrowings raised at variable interest rates expose the Company to interest rate risk arising from the possible movement of variable elements of the overall interest rate. As of December 31, 2020 (unaudited), the Company’s variable rate liabilities totaled RUB 2,956 billion (net of interest payable). The Company performs analysis of its interest rate exposure on regular basis, including modeling of various scenarios of interest rates behavior. The table below summarizes the impact of a potential increase or decrease in interest rates on the Company’s profit before tax, as applied to the variable element of interest rates on loans and borrowings. The increase/ decrease is based on the management estimates of potential interest rate movements. Increase/decrease in interest rate Effect on income before income tax Basis points RUB billion 2020 (unaudited) +3 (1) -3 1 2019 +4 (1) -4 1 The sensitivity analysis is limited to variable rate loans and borrowings and is conducted with all other variables held constant. The analysis is prepared with the assumption that the amount of variable rate liability outstanding at the balance sheet date was outstanding for the whole year. The interest rate on variable rate loans and borrowings will effectively change throughout the year in response to fluctuations in market interest rates. The impact measured through the sensitivity analysis does not take into account other potential changes in economic conditions that may accompany the relevant changes in market interest rates. Credit risk The Company controls its own exposure to credit risk. All external customers and their financial guarantors, other than related parties, undergo a creditworthiness check (including sellers of goods and services who act on a prepayment basis). The Company performs an ongoing assessment and monitoring of the financial position and the risk of default. As of December 31, 2020, management assessed the impact of credit risk (if materialized) on the Company’s net profit as low. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying value of financial assets recognized on the consolidated balance sheet, taking into consideration the information disclosed in Note 40 “Contingencies. Guarantees and indemnities issued”.


 
6. Capital and financial risk management (continued) Credit risk (continued) In addition, as part of its cash management and credit risk function, the Company regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of financial and banking institutions where it deposits cash and performs trade finance operations. The Company primarily has banking relationships with the Russian subsidiaries of large international banking institutions and certain large Russian banks. Liquidity risk The Company has mature liquidity risk management processes covering short-term, mid-term and long-term funding. Liquidity risk is controlled through maintaining sufficient reserves and the adequate amount of committed credit facilities and loan funds. Management regularly monitors projected and actual cash flow information, analyzes the repayment schedules of the existing financial assets and liabilities, including upcoming un-accrued interest payments, and performs annual detailed budgeting procedures. The contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities are presented below: Year ended December 31, 2020 (unaudited) On demand < 1 year 1 to 5 years > 5 years Total Loans and borrowings and other financial liabilities – 946 3,343 826 5,115 Lease liabilities – 29 72 197 298 Accounts payable to suppliers and contractors – 422 – – 422 Salary and related benefits payable – 111 – – 111 Current operating liabilities of subsidiary banks 205 523 7 – 735 Dividends payable – 1 – – 1 Other accounts payable – 42 – – 42 Derivative financial liabilities – 13 – – 13 Year ended December 31, 2019 On demand < 1 year 1 to 5 years > 5 years Total Loans and borrowings and other financial liabilities – 952 2,724 802 4,478 Lease liabilities – 32 68 188 288 Accounts payable to suppliers and contractors – 544 – – 544 Salary and other benefits payable – 102 – – 102 Current operating liabilities of subsidiary banks 91 352 38 – 481 Dividends payable – 1 – – 1 Other accounts payable – 19 – – 19 Derivative financial liabilities – 1 – – 1


 
7. Acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries and joint arrangements 2020 (unaudited) Acquisition of “Taimyrneftegas” Group In December 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of JSC Taimyrneftegaz and its subsidiaries (“TNG”). TNG owns licenses for the use of subsurface resources at Payakha, Irkinsky and a number of less significant oilfields. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a series of sale transactions with several companies controlled by LLC Independent Oil and Gas Company – Holding (“IOC”) for the sale of a number of mature oil production and service assets, including PJSC Varioganneftegaz, LLC Severovarioganskoye, JSC Nizhnevartovsk Oil and Gas Production Enterprise, LLC RN – Sakhalinmorneftegaz, LLC RN-Severnaya Neft and a number of other assets (“tail assets”). The seller of TNG and the buyers of “tail” assets are the companies under common control. These transactions are recorded in these financial statements as linked in accordance with the criteria in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. Thus, the consideration for TNG consists of a cash component (net US$ 9.6 billion), as well as the transferred “tail” assets measured at fair value. Due to the size of the business acquired, the complexity of the valuation of the business in early development stage, as well as the timing considerations (the transaction occurred immediately before the end of the reporting period), the assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the fair value of the consideration transferred as of December 31, 2020 has not yet been completed by the Company at the date when these financial statements were authorized for issue. Allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be completed within 12 months from the acquisition date. The provisional fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was determined using the discounted cash flow method with a pre-tax dollar discount rate of 16%. The projected cash flows were based on proved and probable reserves volumes, as defined by Petroleum Resource Management System. The long-term netback oil price applied $51 / bbl. in real terms. The forecast presumes the commencement of production from 2024. It also presumes that capital expenditures for all the necessary transport infrastructure will be duly incured. The following table summarizes the Company’s preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed: ASSETS Current assets Other current financial assets 12 Prepayments and other current assets 2 Total current assets 14 Non-current assets Exploration and evaluation assets 1,622 Other property, plant and equipment 8 Intangible assets 1 Total current assets 1,631 Total assets 1,645 LIABILITIES Non-current liabilities Deferred tax liabilities 318 Total non-current liabilities 318 Total liabilities 318 Total identifiable net assets at fair value 1,327 Cash consideration paid in 2020, net 615 Fair value of the assets disposed of in 2020 25 Cash consideration payable in 2021 101 Obligation to transfer the assets in 2021 82 Total consideration 823 Gain on bargain purchase 504


 
7. Acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries and joint arrangements (continued) 2020 (unaudited) (continued) Gain on bargain purchase was recognized mainly due to the fact, that the seller apparently had little ability to commence a full scale development of the oil fields, taking into account the size of capital investments required. The TNG Group was acquired to become a part of the Vostok Oil project. Integration of Payakha field, licences for which are held by the TNG group, into the project will enable to significantly increase the project’s resource base. Apart from TNG, the Vostok Oil LLC has the following subsidiaries: JSC Vankorneft, JSC Suzun, LLC Tagulskoe, as well as a number of less significant assets. In December 2020, the Company entered into a deal to sell a 10% stake in Vostok Oil LLC for EUR 7 billion (Note 16). Had the “TNG” acquisition taken place at the beginning of the reporting period (January 1, 2020), revenues and net profit of the combined entity for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 would have been RUB 5,759 billion and RUB 179 billion, respectively. Sale of a share in oil producing projects in Eastern Siberia In December 2020, the Company completed the deal, whereby a Norwegian company Equinor acquired 49% in the Company’s subsidiary KrasGeoNaz LLC. KrasGeoNaz LLC holds twelve exploration and production licenses in Eastern Siberia. As a result of the deal, the Company recorded the sale of the subsidiary together with the recognition of investment in a joint venture, accounted for using equity method (Note 27). The cash consideration received from Equinor amounted to EUR 434 million (RUB 38 billion at the official exchange rate of the Central Bank on the date of cash received). As a result of retained interest remeasured at its fair value, the Company recorded a gain of RUB 7 billion in other income. The acquisition of a 100% stake in “Taimyrburservice” LLC In December 2020, the acquisition of 100% share in Taimyrburservice LLC (“TBS”) from an individual was finalized. The acquisition price amounted to USD 245 million (RUB 18.3 billion at the date of payment). The acquisition of TBS is aimed at the development of Vostok Oil project. As of December 31, 2020 the Company has not yet completed the assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be completed within 12 months from the acquisition date.

The Company’s operations in Venezuela have been completely discontinued. As a result of the transaction, a 100% subsidiary of the Company became the owner of 9.6% of the registered ordinary shares of Rosneft (Note 36). The above mentioned transaction under common control was recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Company by charging the Statement of profit or loss with the difference between the fair market value at the date of transaction of the treasury shares received, and the carrying value of the disposed assets and investments in Venezuela at the same date.

The recoverable amounts were determined as fair values based on discounted cash flows using the after-tax USD discount rate about 16%, long-term oil price of Brent $55/bbl and the oil production up to 2040. As a part of this impairment, the goodwill allocated to these CGUs and certain assets of the Exploration and production segment of RUB 11 billion was impaired as well. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recognized an impairment loss of RUB 15 billion, which represents the write-down of certain properties, plant and equipment in the Exploration and production segment to their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amounts were determined at the level of several CGU’s based on their fair value. Previously, the above-mentioned assets were tested for impairment using the value-in-use method, and also individual assets (oilfields) were tested within the appropriate CGU. The shift in approach is due to a change in the Company’s plans in respect of these assets. The impairment loss in the amount of RUB 46 billion relates to the Refining and distribution segment and primarily represents the partial impairment of refining assets in Germany due to the decline in refining margins forecasts following COVID-19 situation. The recoverable amount of these assets for impairment testing purposes is determined based on the value-in-use, with a pre-tax discount rate of 5.4% in euro applied to the forecasted cash flows. An impairment loss of RUB 19 billion represents a write-down of the carrying amount of a number of assets as a result of the analysis of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets portfolio. The remaining amount of impairment relates to a decrease in the recoverable amount of investments in certain joint ventures in the Exploration and production segment. The recoverable amount was determined at the CGU level based on its fair value.

25. Intangible assets and goodwill (continued) December 31, 2020 (unaudited) December 31, 2019 Goodwill Exploration and production 74 85 Refining and distribution 8 8 Total 82 93 The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 of each year. The impairment test was carried out at the beginning of the fourth quarter of each year using the data that was appropriate at that time. Due to the excess of value in use over identified net assets for both the Exploration and production segment and the Refining and distribution segment no impairment of goodwill was identified in 2020. The Company estimates the value in use of the operating segments using a discounted cash flow model. Future cash flows are adjusted for risks specific to each segment and discounted using a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to each segment, for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. The Company’s business plan, approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, is the primary source of information for the determination of the operating segments’ value in use. The business plan contains internal forecasts of oil and gas production, refinery throughputs, revenues, operating and capital expenditures. As an initial step in the preparation of these plans, various assumptions, such as concerning crude oil and natural gas prices, ruble exchange rate and cost inflation rates, are set. These assumptions take into account the current prices, U.S. dollar and RUB inflation rates, other macroeconomic factors and historical trends, as well as market volatility. In determining the value in use for the Exploration and production operating segment, twelve-year period cash flows calculated on the basis of the Company management’s forecasts are discounted and aggregated with the segment’s terminal value. The use of a forecast period longer than five years originates from the industry’s average investment cycle. In determining the value in use for the Refining and distribution operating segment, five-year period cash flows calculated on the basis of the Company management’s forecasts are discounted and aggregated with the segment’s terminal value. For the calculation of the terminal value of the Company’s segments in the post-outlook period the Gordon model is used. Key assumptions applied to the calculation of value in use Discounted cash flows are most sensitive to changes in the following factors: • Oil prices. For the purposes of the impairment testing the Urals oil price was forecasted as follows: RUB 3.3 thousand per barrel, RUB 3.4 thousand per barrel, RUB 3.5 thousand per barrel for 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively, and RUB 3.6 per barrel from 2024 onwards. • Production and sales volumes. Estimated production and sales volumes were based on the business plan. • The discount rates. The discount rate calculation is based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted to reflect the pre-tax discount rate and the discount rate was 8.6% p.a. and 6.4% p.a. for the Exploration and production segment and for the Refining and distribution segment, respectively. In 2020 a part of goodwill relating to the impaired properties, plant and equipment of the Exploration and production segment was written off (Note 13). As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Company did not have any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 no intangible assets have been pledged as collateral.

Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is determined as follows: • The fair value of financial assets and liabilities quoted on active liquid markets is determined in accordance with market prices; • The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities is determined in accordance with generally accepted models and is based on discounted cash flow analysis that relies on prices used for existing transactions in the current market; • The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on market quotes. In illiquid and highly volatile markets fair value is determined on the basis of valuation models that rely on assumptions confirmed by observable market prices or rates as of the reporting date. The Company uses the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments, depending on the valuation methodology • Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; • Level 2: methodologies in which all inputs that significantly affect the fair value are directly or indirectly observable in the open market; • Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the fair value that are not based on the data observable in the open market.


 
37. Fair value of financial instruments (continued) Assets and liabilities of the Company that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with the fair value hierarchy are presented in the table below.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments recognized in these consolidated financial statements equals their fair value. The carrying value of accounts receivable and accounts payable, loans issued, other financial assets and other financial liabilities recognized in these consolidated financial statements approximates their fair value. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in Level 3 are investments in shares of non-listed companies that are measured on the basis of information not observable in the market. The fair value of investments in unquoted equity instruments was determined using the adjusted net assets method. There were no significant changes in fair value during the reporting period. There were no transfers of financial assets and liabilities between levels during the reporting period.

40. Contingencies Russian business environment Despite of the measures undertaken by the Government of Russian Federation aimed at supporting liquidity and facilitating refinancing of foreign loans of Russian banks and companies, uncertainty in relation to the access to capital markets and cost of capital for the Company continues. This uncertainty can influence financial condition, results of operations and economic perspectives of the Company. The Company is not able to significantly influence overall economic situation in the country. However in the case of negative impact driven by changes of the situation in the country, it will undertake all the necessary measures to minimize negative consequences on its financial condition and operating results. The Company also has investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and advances issued to counterparties operating in foreign jurisdictions. Besides commercial risks being a part of any investment operation, assets in a number of regions of the Company’s activities also bear political, economic and tax risks which are analyzed by the Company on a regular basis. Since the beginning of March 2020, the world markets are experiencing a significant decline in oil demand and oil prices, in particular as a result of COVID-19 pandemic. Russian ruble value has fallen significantly against the major world currencies. Should these factors continue in the long-term, it will continue to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows and results of operations. Guarantees and indemnities issued An unconditional unlimited guarantee issued in 2013 in favor of the Government and municipal authorities of Norway is effective in respect of the Company’s operations on the Norwegian continental shelf. That guarantee fully covers all potential ongoing environmental liabilities of RN Nordic Oil AS. A parent company guarantee is required by Norwegian legislation and is an essential condition for licensing the operations of RN Nordic Oil AS on the Norwegian continental shelf jointly with Equinor (until July 2018 – Statoil ASA). The Company’s agreements with Eni S.p.A and Equinor (until July 2018 – Statoil ASA) under the Russian Federation shelf exploration program contain mutual guarantees provided in 2013 that are unconditional, unlimited and open-ended. In 2015 in accordance with the cooperation agreement on difficult to extract oil reserves with Equinor (until July 2018 – Statoil ASA), both parties issued parent guarantees on the discharging of the mutual liabilities of their related parties. These guarantees are unconditional, unlimited and open-ended. In 2018, as part of the operating activities of Rosneft, unconditional irrevocable guarantees were issued in favor of the Government of the Republic of Mozambique providing the coverage of potential liabilities for geological exploration on the Mozambique continental shelf (4 years). Legal claims Rosneft and its subsidiaries are involved in litigations which arise from time to time in the course of their business activities. Management believes that the ultimate results of these litigations will not materially affect the performance or financial position of the Company. Reliably estimated probable obligations were recognized within provisions in the Consolidated financial statements of the Company (Note 32).


 
40. Contingencies (continued) Taxation Legislation and regulations regarding taxation in Russia continue to evolve. Various legislative acts and regulations are not always clearly written, and their interpretation is subject to the opinions of the taxpayers, and local, regional, and national tax authorities, and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. Instances of inconsistent opinions are not unusual. In Russia, tax returns remain open and subject to inspection for a period of up to three years. The fact that a year has been reviewed does not close that year, or any tax return applicable to that year, from further review during the period of three calendar years preceding the year when the inspection started. In accordance with Russian tax legislation, if an understatement of a tax liability is detected as a result of an inspection, penalties and fines to be paid might be material in respect of the tax liability misstatement. During the reporting period, the tax authorities continued their inspections of some of Rosneft subsidiaries for 2015-2019. The Company’s management does not expect the outcome of the inspections to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. As part of the new regime for fiscal control over the pricing of related party transactions, the Company and the Federal Tax Service signed a number of pricing agreements from 2012 to 2020 with respect to the taxation of oil sales and refining transactions in Russia. The Company believes that transfer pricing risks in relation to intragroup transactions during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and earlier will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. The Company follows the rules of tax legislation on de-offshorization, including income tax rules for controlled foreign companies to calculate its current and deferred income tax estimates. Overall, management believes that the Company has paid and accrued all taxes that are applicable. For taxes where uncertainty exists, the Company has accrued tax liabilities based on management’s best estimate of the probable outflow of resources that will be required to settle these liabilities. Capital commitments The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in ongoing capital projects for the exploration and development of production facilities and the modernization of refineries and the distribution network. The budgets for these projects are generally set on an annual basis. The total amount of contracted but not yet delivered goods and services related to the construction and acquisition of property, plant and equipment amounted to RUB 668 billion and RUB 762 billion as of December 31, 2020 (unaudited) and 2019, respectively. Commitments of the Company that it has relating to its joint ventures amount up to RUB 20 billion and RUB 15 billion as of December 31, 2020 (unaudited) and 2019, respectively. The Company has various lease contracts that have not yet commenced as at December 31, 2020. The future lease payments for these non-cancellable lease contracts are RUB 1 billion within one year, RUB 18 billion within five years and RUB 63 billion thereafter.


 
40. Contingencies (continued) Environmental liabilities The Company periodically evaluates its environmental liabilities pursuant to environmental regulations. Such liabilities are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as and when identified. Potential liabilities, which could arise as a result of changes in existing regulations or the settlement of civil litigation, or as a result of changes in environmental standards, cannot be reliably estimated but may be material. With the existing system of control, management believes that there are no material liabilities for environmental damage other than those recorded in these consolidated financial statements. Risks and opportunities associated with climate change Within the framework of its corporate risk management and internal control systems, the Company on an annual basis identifies and evaluates risks and opportunities related to climate change impact on its business activities. In the process of investment decision making, the risks associated with health, safety and environment (HSE), ecology, and climate change are analyzed. For large projects, the analysis of the alignment with the Company’s strategic goals, environmental standards and requirements of the Russian and international legislation is performed, as well as the analysis and assessment of external risks related to the impact on the environment (changes in legislation, changes in technologies, market risks, reputation risks, etc.). In addition, the risks and opportunities associated with climate change and the transition to low-carbon energy are considered in the Company’s strategic management and business planning processes (especially for projects located in climate-sensitive regions: marine projects, Arctic projects, etc.) as well as for of the global energy developments scenario planning. Other matters Due to the pollution of oil in the trunk pipeline “Druzhba” in April 2019 a number of claims from the customers were submitted to PJSC “Rosneft Oil Company”, stating that the supplied oil contains substantially exceeded maximum permitted levels of organochlorine compounds (compared to levels determined by the relevant technical regulations and standards). At the same time, PJSC “Rosneft Oil Company” delivered oil to the system of oil trunk pipelines of PJSC “Transneft” in compliance with the requirements of technical regulations and standards. Also, the Company received claims from the customers who were not delivered the contracted amounts of oil due to the oil pumping interruption in the trunk oil pipeline “Druzhba” resulting from the contamination. Currently the Company is working with foreign customers and PJSC “Transneft” on the settlement of claims. Calculation of losses incurred by PJSC “Rosneft Oil Company” can be finalized after the completion of the comprehensive assessment of the impact of the incident on the Company’s activities (including the forced reduction in oil production due to the reduced oil intake into the system of PJSC “Transneft”), obtaining a complete and documentary supported claims from all counterparties and their re-submission to PJSC “Transneft” for compensation.

Rosneft Oil Company Notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) December 31, 2018 (all amounts in tables are in billions of Russian rubles, except as noted otherwise) 1. General Public Joint Stock Company (“PJSC”) Rosneft Oil Company (“Rosneft”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are principally engaged in exploration, development, production and sale of crude oil and gas and refining, transportation and sale of petroleum products in the Russian Federation and in certain international markets. Rosneft State Enterprise was incorporated as an open joint stock company on December 7, 1995. All assets and liabilities previously managed by Rosneft State Enterprise were transferred to the Company at their book value effective on that date together with ownership rights to other privatized oil and gas companies belonging to the Government of the Russian Federation (the “State”). The transfer of assets and liabilities was made in accordance with Russian Government Resolution No. 971 dated September 29, 1995, On the Transformation of Rosneft State Enterprise into Open Joint Stock Company “Oil Company Rosneft”. These transfers involved the reorganization of assets under the common control of the State and, accordingly, were accounted for at their book value. In 2005, the State contributed the shares of Rosneft to the share capital of JSC ROSNEFTEGAS. As of December 31, 2005, 100% of the shares of Rosneft less one share were owned by JSC ROSNEFTEGAS and one share was owned by the Russian Federation Federal Agency for the Management of Federal Property. Subsequently, JSC ROSNEFTEGAS’s ownership interest decreased through the additional issue of shares during Rosneft’s Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) in Russia, an issue of Global Depository Receipts (“GDR”) for shares on the London Stock Exchange and the share swap completed during the merger of Rosneft and certain subsidiaries in 2006. In March 2013 in the course of the acquisition of TNK-BP Limited and TNK Industrial Holdings Limited, its subsidiary (collectively with their subsidiaries, “TNK-BP”), JSC ROSNEFTEGAS sold 5.66% of Rosneft shares to BP plc. (“BP”). In December 2016 JSC ROSNEFTEGAS signed an agreement to sell 19.5% of Rosneft shares to a consortium of foreign investors. As of December 31, 2018 JSC ROSNEFTEGAS’s ownership interest in Rosneft amounted to 50% plus one share. Under Russian legislation, natural resources, including oil, gas, precious metals and minerals and other commercial minerals situated in the territory of the Russian Federation, are the property of the State until they are extracted. Law of the Russian Federation No. 2395-1, On Subsurface Resources, regulates relations arising in connection with the geological study, use and protection of subsurface resources in the territory of the Russian Federation. Pursuant to the law, subsurface resources may be developed only on the basis of a license. A license is issued by the regional governmental body and contains information on the site to be developed and the period of activity, as well as financial and other conditions. The Company holds licenses issued by competent authorities for the geological study, exploration and development of oil and gas blocks, fields, and shelf in areas where its subsidiaries are located. The Company is subject to export quotas set by the Russian Federation State Pipeline Commission to allow equal access to the limited capacity of the oil pipeline system owned and operated by PJSC AK Transneft. The Company exports certain quantities of crude oil through bypassing the PJSC AK Transneft system thus achieving higher export capacity. The remaining production is processed at the Company’s and third parties’ refineries for further sale on domestic and international markets.

Subsequent events have been evaluated through February 5, 2019, the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. 3. Significant accounting policies The accompanying consolidated financial statements differ from the financial statements issued for statutory purposes in that they reflect certain adjustments, not recorded in the Company’s statutory books, which are appropriate for presenting the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with IFRS. The principal adjustments relate to: (1) recognition of certain expenses; (2) valuation and depreciation of property, plant and equipment; (3) deferred income taxes; (4) impairment of assets; (5) accounting for the time value of money; (6) accounting for investments in oil and gas property and conveyances; (7) consolidation principles; (8) recognition and disclosure of guarantees, contingencies, commitments and certain other assets and liabilities; (9) business combinations and goodwill; (10) accounting for derivative instruments; (11) purchase price allocation to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of majority-owned, controlled subsidiaries and special-purpose entities where the Company holds a beneficial interest. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The equity method is used to account for investments in associates in which the Company has the ability to exert significant influence over the associates’ operating and financial policies. Investments in entities where the Company holds the majority of shares, but does not exercise control, are also accounted for using the equity method. Investments in other companies are accounted for at fair value or cost adjusted for impairment, if any. Determination of the level of control or influence in the entities where the Company holds a share is carried out taking into account the powers established by the agreement in respect of the investment and the existing rights that provide the Company with the opportunity to manage significant activities at the present time.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets Acquisitions by the Company of controlling interests in third parties (or interest in their charter capital) are accounted for using the acquisition method. The date of acquisition is the date when effective control over the acquiree passes to the Company. The cost of an acquisition is measured as an aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or a liability should be recognized within profit or loss for the period if they do not represent measurement-period adjustments. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be re-measured. Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of non-controlling interest is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired and liabilities assumed, the difference is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Associates Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method unless they are classified as non-current assets held for sale. Under this method, the carrying value of investments in associates is initially recognized at the acquisition cost. The carrying value of investments in associates is increased or decreased by the Company’s reported share in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the investee after the acquisition date. The Company’s share in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of an associate is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of profit or loss or in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, respectively. Dividends paid by the associate are accounted for as a reduction of the carrying value of investments. The Company’s net investments in associates include the carrying value of the investments in these associates as well as other long-term investments that are, in substance, investments in associates, such as loans. If the share in losses exceeds the carrying value of the investments in associates and the value of other long-term investments related to investments in these associates, the Company ceases to recognize its share in losses when the carrying value reaches zero. Any additional losses are provided for and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Company has legal or constructive obligations or has made payments on behalf of the associate. If the associate subsequently makes profits, the Company resumes recognizing its share in these profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognized. The carrying value of investments in associates is tested for impairment by reconciling its recoverable amount (the higher of its value in use and fair value less costs to sell) to its carrying value, whenever impairment indicators are identified.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Joint arrangements The Company participates in joint arrangements either in the form of joint ventures or joint operations. A joint venture implies that the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint venture involves establishing a legal entity where the Company and other participants have respective equity interests. Equity interests in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. The Company’s share in net profit or loss and in other comprehensive income of joint ventures is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, respectively, from the date when joint control commences until the date when joint control ceases. A joint operation implies that the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. In relation to its interest in a joint operation the Company recognizes its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly, its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly, its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation, its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation, and expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. Cash and cash equivalents Cash represents cash on hand, in the Company’s bank accounts, in transit and interest bearing deposits which can be effectively withdrawn at any time without prior notice or any penalties reducing the principal amount of the deposit. Cash equivalents are highly liquid, short-term investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less from their date of purchase. They are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet if its amount is significant. Financial assets The Company recognizes financial assets in its balance sheet when, and only when, it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. When financial assets are recognized initially, they are measured at fair value, which is usually the price of the transaction, i.e. the fair value of consideration paid or received. When financial assets are recognized initially, they are classified as one of the following, as appropriate: (1) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, (2) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, or (3) financial assets at amortised cost. The Company classifies financial assets on the basis of both: the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets, as well as the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. However the Company may make an irrevocable election at initial recognition for particular instruments in equity instruments that would otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. All derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value in either current financial assets, non-current financial assets, current liabilities related to derivative instruments, or non-current liabilities related to derivative instruments. The recognition and classification of a gain or loss that results from recognition of an adjustment of a derivative instrument at fair value depends on the purpose for issuing or holding the derivative instrument. Gains and losses from derivatives that are not accounted for as hedges under International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 9 Financial Instruments are recognized immediately in the profit or loss for the period.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Financial assets (continued) Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair value of financial assets at fair value that are quoted in an active market is defined as bid prices for assets and ask prices for issued liabilities as of the measurement date. If no active market exists for financial assets, the Company measures the fair value using the following methods:  analysis of recent transactions with peer instruments between independent parties;  current fair value of similar financial instruments;  discounting future cash flows. The discount rate reflects the minimum return on investment an investor is willing to accept before starting an alternative project, given its risk and the opportunity cost of forgoing other projects. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: (a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and (b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Examples of financial assets that may fall into this category are loans given, accounts receivable, bonds and notes issued by 3rd parties, which are not quoted at active market – if they fulfill the requirements set above. A financial asset shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met: (a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and (b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. In particular, this category includes shares of other companies, which are not included in the category of measured at fair value through profit or loss. Dividends and interest income are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on an accrual basis. The amount of accrued interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate. Upon de-recognition of debt financial assets (bonds, notes etc.) classified as financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. In case of equity financial assets (shares, stocks etc.), classified as financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, such cumulative gain or loss shall never be subsequently transferred to profit or loss. Interest income as a component of finance income is disclosed in the notes to financial statements separately for each category of financial assets. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Financial liabilities The Company recognizes financial liabilities on its balance sheet when, and only when, it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. When financial liabilities are recognized initially, they are measured at fair value, which is usually the price of the transaction, i.e. the fair value of consideration paid or received. When financial liabilities are recognized initially, they are classified as one of the following:  financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss;  other financial liabilities. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading unless such liabilities are linked to the delivery of unquoted equity instruments. At the initial recognition, the Company may include in this category any financial liability, except for equity instruments that are not quoted in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. After initial recognition, however, the liability cannot be reclassified. Financial liabilities not classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are designated as other financial liabilities. Other financial liabilities include, inter alia, trade and other accounts payable, and loans and borrowings payable. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost. The Company writes off a financial liability (or part of a financial liability) from its balance sheet when, and only when, it is extinguished – i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying value of a financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) extinguished or transferred to another party and the redemption value, including any transferred non-monetary assets and assumed liabilities, is recognized in profit or loss. Any previously recognized components of other comprehensive income pertaining to this financial liability are also included in the financial result and are recognized as gains and losses for the period. Certain prior period indicators have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In particular, due to significant increase in the operating activities of subsidiary banks of the Company and the need for reliable and consistent reporting in the consolidated financial statements, the presentation of cash flows from the operating activities of subsidiary banks was revised. Such activities are now included within operating activities of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Further, the operating assets of the subsidiary banks, including short-term interbank deposits placed, were reclassified to Accounts Receivable, operating liabilities, including interbank loans, customer deposits, promissory notes and REPO obligations reclassified from Loans and borrowings and other financial liabilities to Accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the corresponding period. In the absence of any securities-to-shares conversion transactions, the amount of basic earnings per share stated in these consolidated financial statements is equal to the amount of diluted earnings per share.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Treasury shares Treasury shares are outstanding Treasury shares purchased from the shareholders. The Company acquires shares of Rosneft in accordance with the program of acquisition of shares in the open market (Note 36). Treasury shares are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as a deduction from equity at cost of repurchase. Inventories Inventories consisting primarily of crude oil, petroleum products, petrochemicals and materials and supplies are accounted for at the weighted average cost unless net realizable value is less than cost. Materials that are used in production are not written down below cost if the finished products into which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold above cost. Repurchase and resale agreements Securities sold under repurchase agreements (“REPO”) and securities purchased under agreements to resell (“reverse REPO”) generally do not constitute a sale of the underlying securities for accounting purposes, and so are treated as collateralized financing transactions. Interest paid or received on all REPO and reverse REPO transactions is recorded in Finance expense or Finance income, respectively, at the contractually specified rate using the effective interest method. Exploration and production assets Exploration and production assets include exploration and evaluation assets, mineral rights and oil and gas properties (development assets and production assets). Exploration and evaluation costs The Company recognizes exploration and evaluation costs using the successful efforts method as permitted by IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Under this method, costs related to exploration and evaluation (license acquisition costs, exploration and appraisal drilling) are temporarily capitalized in cost centers by field (well) until the drilling program results in the discovery of economically feasible oil and gas reserves. The length of time necessary for this determination depends on the specific technical or economic difficulties in assessing the recoverability of the reserves. If a determination is made that the well did not encounter oil and gas in economically viable quantities, the well costs are expensed to Exploration expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Exploration and evaluation costs, except for costs associated with seismic, topographical, geological, and geophysical surveys, are initially capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets. Exploration and evaluation assets are recognized at cost less impairment, if any, as property, plant and equipment until the existence (or absence) of commercial reserves has been established. The initial cost of exploration and evaluation assets acquired through a business combination is formed as a result of purchase price allocation. The cost allocation to mineral rights to proved properties and mineral rights to unproved properties is performed based on the respective oil and gas reserves information. Exploration and evaluation assets are subject to technical, commercial and management review as well as review for indicators of impairment at least once a year. This is to confirm the continued intent to develop or otherwise extract value from the discovery. When indicators of impairment are present, an impairment test is performed. If, subsequently, commercial reserves are discovered, the carrying value, less losses from impairment of the respective exploration and evaluation assets, is classified as oil and gas properties (development assets). However, if no commercial reserves are discovered, such costs are expensed after exploration and evaluation activities have been completed.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Development and production Oil and gas properties (development assets) are accounted for on a field-by-field basis and represent (1) capitalized costs to develop discovered commercial reserves and to put fields into production, and (2) exploration and evaluation costs incurred to discover commercial reserves reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets to oil and gas properties (development assets) following the discovery of commercial reserves. The cost of oil and gas properties (development assets) also includes the expenditures to acquire such assets, directly identifiable overhead expenses, capitalized financing costs and related asset retirement (decommissioning) obligation costs. Oil and gas properties (development assets) are generally recognized as construction in progress. Following the commencement of commercial production, oil and gas properties (development assets) are reclassified as oil and gas properties (production assets). Other property, plant and equipment Other property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost as of the acquisition date, except for property, plant and equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2009, which is stated at deemed cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment. The cost of maintenance, repairs, and the replacement of minor items of property is charged to operating expenses. Renewals and betterments of assets are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts. Any resulting gains or losses are included in profit or loss. Depreciation, depletion and amortization Oil and gas properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method on a field-by-field basis starting from the commencement of commercial production. In applying the unit-of-production method to mineral licenses, the depletion rate is based on total proved reserves. In applying the unit-of-production method to producing wells and the related oil and gas infrastructure, the depletion rate is based on proved developed reserves. Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives from the time they are ready for use, except for catalysts which are amortized using the unit-of-production method. Components of other property, plant and equipment and their respective estimated useful lives are as follows: Property, plant and equipment Useful life, not more than Buildings and structures 30-45 years Plant and machinery 5-25 years Vehicles and other property, plant and equipment 6-10 years Service vessels 20 years Offshore drilling assets 20 years Land generally has an indefinite useful life and is therefore not depreciated. Land leasehold rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful life, which averages 20 years.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Construction grants The Company recognizes construction grants from local governments when there is a reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached and that the grant will be received. The construction grants are accounted for as a reduction of the cost of the asset for which the grant is received. Impairment of non-current assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset or cash- generating unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or cash-generating unit. In assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the Company considers internal and external sources of information. It considers at least the following: External sources of information:  during the period, an asset’s market value has declined significantly more than would be expected as a result of the passage of time or normal use;  significant changes with an adverse effect on the Company have taken place during the period, or will take place in the near future, in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the Company operates or in the market to which an asset is dedicated;  market interest rates or other market rates of return on investments have increased during the period, and those increases are likely to affect the discount rate used in calculating an asset’s value in use and decrease the asset’s recoverable amount materially;  the carrying amount of the net assets of the Company is more than its market capitalization. Internal sources of information:  evidence is available of obsolescence or physical damage of an asset;  significant changes with an adverse effect on the Company have taken place during the period, or are expected to take place in the near future, in the extent to which, or manner in which, an asset is used or is expected to be used (e.g., the asset becoming idle, or the useful life of an asset is reassessed as finite rather than indefinite);  information on dividends from a subsidiary, joint venture or associate;  evidence is available from internal reporting that indicates that the economic performance of an asset is, or will be, worse than expected. Such evidence includes the existence of:  cash flows on acquiring the asset, or subsequent cash needs for operating or maintaining it, that are significantly higher than those originally budgeted;  actual net cash flows or operating profit or loss flowing from the asset that are significantly worse than those budgeted;  a significant decline in budgeted net cash flows or operating profit, or a significant increase in budgeted losses, flowing from the asset;  operating losses or net cash outflows for the asset, when current period amounts are aggregated with budgeted amounts for the future.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Impairment of non-current assets (continued) The following factors indicate that exploration and evaluation assets may be impaired:  the period for which the Company has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;  substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;  exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the Company has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area;  sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of:  the value in use of an asset (cash-generating unit); and  the fair value of an asset (cash-generating unit) less costs to sell. If the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets, its recoverable amount is determined for the asset’s cash-generating unit. The Company initially measures the value in use of a cash-generating unit. When the carrying amount of a cash-generating unit is greater than its value in use, the Company measures the unit’s fair value for the purpose of measuring the recoverable amount. When the fair value is less than the carrying value an impairment loss is recognized. Value in use is determined by discounting the estimated value of the future cash inflows expected to be derived from the asset or cash-generating unit, including cash inflows from its sale. The value of the future cash inflows from a cash-generating unit is determined based on the forecast approved by management of the business unit to which the unit in question pertains. Impairment of financial assets At each balance sheet date the Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on a financial asset measured at amortised cost, and at fair value through other comprehensive income, a lease receivable, a contract asset or a loan commitment and a financial guarantee contract to which the impairment requirements apply. Requirements of IFRS 9 concerning impairment do not apply to equity instruments of any category as well as to the instruments at fair value though profit or loss. The loss allowance for financial asset at amortised cost is recognized in profit or loss in correspondence with a balance sheet account reducing the carrying amount of the financial asset. The loss allowance for financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income shall be recognized in other comprehensive income and shall not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position. Expected credit losses for significant counterparties, including banks, are determined based on credit rating of particular counterparty and relevant probability of default.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Capitalized interest Interest expense on borrowed funds used for capital construction projects and the acquisition of property, plant and equipment is capitalized provided that the interest expense could have been avoided if the Company had not made capital investments. Interest is capitalized only during the period when construction activities are actually in progress and until the resulting properties are put into operation. Capitalized borrowing costs include exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs. Leasing agreements Leases, which transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the asset, are classified as financial leases and are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance expenses and reduction of the lease liability in order to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liabilities. Finance expenses are charged directly to the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Leased property, plant and equipment are accounted for using the same policies applied to the Company’s own assets. In determining the useful life of a leased item of property, plant and equipment, consideration is given to the probability of the title being transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term. If there is no reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset shall be fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life. Where such certainty exists, the asset is depreciated over its useful life. Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations The Company has asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations associated with its core business activities. The nature of the assets and potential obligations are as follows: The Company’s exploration, development and production activities involve the use of wells, related equipment and operating sites, oil gathering and treatment facilities, tank farms and in-field pipelines. Generally, licenses and other regulatory acts require that such assets be decommissioned upon the completion of production. According to these requirements, the Company is obliged to decommission wells, dismantle equipment, restore the sites and perform other related activities. The Company’s estimates of these obligations are based on current regulatory or license requirements, as well as actual dismantling and other related costs. These liabilities are measured by the Company using the present value of the estimated future costs of decommissioning of these assets. The discount rate is reviewed at each reporting date and reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations (continued) In accordance with IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) Interpretation 1 Changes in Existing Decommissioning, Restoration and Similar Liabilities, the provision is reviewed at each balance sheet date as follows:  upon changes in the estimates of future cash flows (e.g., the costs of and timeframe for abandoning one well) or the discount rate, changes in the amount of the liability are included in the cost of the item of property, plant, and equipment, whereby such cost may not be negative and may not exceed the recoverable value of the item of property, plant, and equipment;  any changes in the liability due to its nearing maturity (change in the discount) are recognized in Finance expenses. The Company’s refining and distribution activities involve refining operations, marine and other distribution terminals, and retail sales. The Company’s refining operations consist of major petrochemical operations and industrial complexes. Legal or contractual asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations related to petrochemical, oil refining and distribution activities are not recognized due to the limited history of such activities in these segments, the lack of clear legal requirements as to the recognition of obligations, as well as the fact that decommissioning periods for such assets are not determinable. Because of the reasons described above, the fair value of an asset retirement (decommissioning) obligation in the refining and distribution segment cannot be reasonably estimated. Due to continuous changes in the Russian regulatory and legal environment, there could be future changes to the requirements and contingencies associated with the retirement of long-lived assets. Income tax Since 2012 Russian tax legislation has allowed income taxes to be calculated on a consolidated basis. The main subsidiaries of the Company were therefore combined into a consolidated group of taxpayers (Note 40). For subsidiaries which are not included in the consolidated group of taxpayers, income tax is calculated on an individual subsidiary basis. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in the amount determined by the Company in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes. Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from:  the initial recognition of goodwill;  the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which:  is not a business combination; and  affects neither accounting profit, nor taxable profit;  investments in subsidiaries when the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Income tax (continued) A prior period tax loss planned to be used to reduce the current or future amount of income tax is recognized as a deferred tax asset. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized, unless the deferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that:  is not a business combination; and  at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). The Company recognizes deferred tax assets for all deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, to the extent that the following two conditions are met:  the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and  taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the taxation authority of the same jurisdiction and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date. The Company reduces the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as Non-current Deferred tax assets and Non-current Deferred tax liabilities, respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Recognition of revenues Revenues are recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset, which usually occurs when the title is passed, provided that the contract price is fixed or determinable and collectability of the receivable is reasonably assured. Specifically, domestic sales of crude oil and gas, as well as petroleum products and materials are usually recognized when title passes. For export sales, title generally passes at the border of the Russian Federation. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account the amount of any trade discounts, volume rebates and reimbursable taxes. Sales of support services are recognized as services are performed provided that the service price can be determined and no significant uncertainties regarding the receipt of revenues exist.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Transportation expenses Transportation expenses recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss represent all expenses incurred by the Company to transport crude oil for refining and to end customers, and to deliver petroleum products from refineries to end customers (these may include pipeline tariffs and any additional railroad transportation costs, handling costs, port fees, sea freight and other costs). Refinery maintenance costs The Company recognizes the costs of overhauls and preventive maintenance performed with respect to oil refining assets as expenses when incurred. Environmental liabilities Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and do not have a future economic benefit, are expensed. Liabilities for these expenditures are recorded when environmental assessments or clean- ups are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies Certain conditions may exist as of the date of these consolidated financial statements which may further result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management makes an assessment of such contingent liabilities which is based on assumptions and is a matter of opinion. In assessing loss contingencies relating to legal or tax proceedings that involve the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, after consultation with legal or tax advisors, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal or tax proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve financial guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed. However, in some instances in which disclosure is not otherwise required, the Company may disclose contingent liabilities or other uncertainties of an unusual nature which, in the judgment of management after consultation with its legal or tax counsel, may be of interest to shareholders or others. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities Refundable taxes (excise and value-added tax (“VAT”)) are deducted from revenues. Other taxes and duties are not deducted from revenues and are recognized as expenses in Taxes other than income tax in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. VAT and excise receivable and payable are recognized as Prepayments and other current assets and Other tax liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, respectively.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Functional and presentation currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in Russian rubles, which is the functional currency of Rosneft Oil Company and all of its subsidiaries operating in the Russian Federation. The functional currency of the foreign subsidiaries is generally the U.S. dollar. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of these transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year-end exchange rates are recognized in the profit or loss for the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities designated as foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments are recognized within other comprehensive income and reclassified to profit or loss in the period when the hedged item affects profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The Company’s subsidiaries The results and financial position of all of the Company’s subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates that have a functional currency which is different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:  assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at that reporting date;  income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and each statement of other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and  all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of other comprehensive income. Prepayment on oil and petroleum products supply agreements In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into long-term oil supply contracts. The contract terms may require the buyer to make a prepayment. The Company considers long-term oil supply contracts to be regular-way sale contracts entered into and continued to be held for the purpose of the receipt or delivery of non-financial items in accordance with the Company’s expected purchase, sale or usage requirements. Regular-way sale contracts are exempted from the scope of IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Prepayment on oil and petroleum products supply agreements (continued) Conditions for meeting the definition of a regular-way sale are not met if either of the following applies:  the ability to settle net in cash or another financial instrument, or by exchanging financial instruments, is not explicit in the terms of the contract, but the Company has a practice of settling similar contracts net in cash or via another financial instrument or by exchanging financial instruments (whether with the counterparty, by entering into offsetting contracts or by selling the contract before its exercise or lapse);  for similar contracts, the Company has a practice of taking delivery of the underlying goods and selling them within a short period after delivery for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in price or from a dealer’s margin. Prepayments received for the delivery of goods or respective deferred revenue are accounted for as non- financial liabilities because the outflow of economic benefits associated with them is the delivery of goods and services rather than a contractual obligation to pay cash or another financial asset. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the adoption of new standards, interpretations and amendments to standards effective as of January 1, 2018. The following standards were applied for the first time in 2018:  IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The final version of IFRS 9 issued in 2014 replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, as well as all previous versions of IFRS 9. IFRS 9 brings together the requirements for the classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting of financial instruments. In respect of impairment, IFRS 9 replaces the “incurred loss” model used in IAS 39 with a new “expected credit loss” model that will require a more timely recognition of expected credit losses. According to the new standard, expected credit losses for significant debt balances were estimated based on the credit risk of the debtors. Also due to the new requirements, certain of the financial instruments of the Company were measured to their fair value as a consequence of the change in classification category from measured at amortized cost to measured at fair value through profit or loss. Together with IFRS 9 the Company early adopted amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. These amendments clarify that the companies should apply IFRS 9, including impairment requirements, for the long-term investments in associates and joint ventures, which are accounted for otherwise than using the equity method, including long-term loans given to associates and joint ventures.  IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. IFRS 15 establishes a single framework for revenue recognition and contains requirements for related disclosures. The new standard replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts, and the related interpretations on Revenue recognition. As a result of the analysis performed by the Company, the conclusion was made that the standard has no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.  Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment entitled Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions. The amendments provide requirements for the accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments; share- based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations; a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. The amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.


 
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (continued)  Amendments to IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts entitled Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. The amendments address concerns arising from implementing the new financial instruments Standard, IFRS 9, before implementing the replacement. Standard that the Board is developing for IFRS 4. The amendments introduce two approaches, which should reconcile the timing of the application of the two new standards. Under the first approach, the amendments become effective on the date of first-time adoption of IFRS 9; under the second, the amendments become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.  Amendments to IAS 40 Investment Property entitled Transfers of Investment Property. The amendments clarify the requirements for transfers to, or from, investment property. The amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.  IFRIC 22 Interpretation entitled Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration. The IFRIC addresses how to determine the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the de-recognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration in a foreign currency. The interpretation did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements as its requirements were already previously incorporated in the accounting policy of the Company.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make a number of accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The actual results, however, could differ from those estimates. The most significant accounting estimates and assumptions used by the Company’s management in preparing the consolidated financial statements include:  estimation of oil and gas reserves;  estimation of rights to, recoverability and useful lives of non-current assets;  impairment of goodwill and fixed assets (Note 25 “Intangible assets and goodwill” and Note 24 “Property, plant and equipment and construction in progress”);  estimated credit losses for accounts receivable (Note 21 “Accounts receivable”);  assessment of asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations (Note 3 “Significant accounting policies”, section: “Asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations”, and Note 32 “Provisions”);  assessment of legal and tax contingencies, recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities (Note 40 “Contingencies”);


 
4. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)  assessment of deferred income tax assets and liabilities (Note 3 “Significant accounting policies”, section: “Income tax”, and Note 16 “Income tax”);  assessment of environmental remediation obligations (Note 32 “Provisions” and Note 40 “Contingencies”);  fair value measurements (Note 37 “Fair value of financial instruments”);  assessment of the Company’s ability to renew operating leases and to enter into new lease agreements;  purchase price allocation to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed (Note 7 “Acquisition of subsidiaries and shares in joint operations”). Significant estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts are those used in determining the economic recoverability of reserves. Such estimates and assumptions may change over time when new information becomes available, e.g.:  more detailed information on reserves was obtained (either as a result of more detailed engineering calculations or additional exploration drilling activities);  supplemental activities to enhance oil recovery were conducted;  changes were made in economic estimates and assumptions (e.g. a change in pricing factors). 5. New and amended standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases. IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases and establishes a single lessee accounting model. The most significant effect of the new requirements for the lessee will be an increase in right-of-use assets and financial liabilities. The new standard replaces the previous leases standard, IAS 17 Leases, and the related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company will apply the Standard using modified retrospective approach which presumes recognition of cumulative effect of initial application at the date of the initial application i.e. January 1, 2019. According to preliminary estimates made by the Company, one-off recognition of non-current assets and financial liabilities will total 220-300 bln RUR as of January 1, 2019. In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts. IFRS 17 establishes a single framework for the accounting for insurance contracts and contains requirements for related disclosures. The new standard replaces IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23 Interpretation entitled Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. The IFRIC clarifies that for the purposes of calculating current and deferred tax, companies should use a tax treatment of uncertainties, which will probably be accepted by the tax authorities. IFRIC 23 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect the interpretation to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In October 2017, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 Financial instruments named Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation. The amendments relate to financial assets with an option of early prepayment, the conditions of which allow early prepayment in a variable amount, which in turn may exceed as well as may be lower than remaining outstanding cash flows. The amendments allow to measure such prepayable financial assets with so-called negative compensation at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income if a specified condition is met – instead of at fair value through profit or loss. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January, 2019. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.


 
5. New and amended standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective (continued) In February 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 19 Employee benefits named Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement. The amendments specifies how companies determine pension expenses when changes to a defined benefit pension plan occur. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January, 2019. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In March 2018, the IASB issued a revised version of Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. In particular, the revised version introduces new definitions of assets and liabilities, as well as amended definitions of income and expenses. The new version is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the revised version of Conceptual Framework on the consolidated financial statements. In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The amendments enhance definition of a business set out by the standard. The amendments are effective for acquisitions to occur on or after January 1, 2020; earlier application is permitted. Possible impact of the amendments on the consolidated financial statements as well as the necessity of early adoption will be assessed in course of accounting support for future significant transactions. In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 introduce new definition of material. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2020; earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. 6. Capital and financial risk management Capital management The Company’s capital management objectives are to ensure its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimize the cost of capital in order to enhance value to shareholders. Total capital employed and financial liabilities less liquid financial assets are non-IFRS measures. The Company’s management performs a regular assessment of the financial liabilities less liquid financial assets to capital employed ratio to ensure it meets the Company’s requirements to fulfil the Company’s commitments and to retain strong financial stability. The Company’s employed capital is calculated as the sum of equity attributable to equity holders of Rosneft: share capital, reserves, retained earnings and non-controlling interests; financial liabilities, which include long and short-term loans and borrowings, other financial liabilities, as reported in the consolidated balance sheet, less liquid financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, other short-term financial assets and certain long-term deposits. The Company’s financial liabilities less liquid financial assets to capital employed ratio was as follows: As of December 31, 2018 2017 (restated) Financial liabilities less liquid financial assets to capital employed ratio, % 37.9% 40.8%


 
6. Capital and financial risk management (continued) Financial risk management In the normal course of business the Company is exposed to the following financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company has introduced a risk management system and developed a number of procedures to measure, assess and monitor risks and select the relevant risk management techniques. The Company has developed, documented and approved the relevant policies pertaining to market, credit and liquidity risks and the use of derivative financial instruments. Foreign currency risk The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the U.S. dollar and euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from assets, liabilities, commercial transactions and financing denominated in foreign currencies. The carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are presented in the table below: Assets Liabilities As of December 31, As of December 31, 2018 2017 2018 2017 US$ 864 903 (1,969) (1,885) EUR 684 425 (340) (67) Total 1,548 1,328 (2,309) (1,952) The Company seeks to identify and manage foreign exchange rate risk in a comprehensive manner, including an integrated analysis of natural economic hedges, in order to benefit from the correlation between income and expenses. The Company chooses the currency in which to hold cash, such as the Russian ruble, U.S. dollar or other currency for short-term risk management purposes. The long-term risk management strategy of the Company may involve the use of derivative or non-derivative financial instruments in order to minimize foreign exchange rate risk exposure. Cash flow hedging of the Company’s future exports The Company designated certain U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings as a hedge of the expected highly probable U.S. dollar-denominated export revenue stream in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. A portion of future monthly export revenues expected to be received in U.S. dollars was designated as a hedged item. The nominal amounts of the hedged item and the hedging instruments were equal. To the extent that a change in the foreign currency rate impacts the fair value of the hedging instrument, the effects are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss and then reclassified to profit or loss in the period in which the hedged item affects the profit or loss. The Company’s foreign currency risk management strategy is to hedge future export revenue in the amount of the net monetary position in U.S. dollars. The Company aligns the hedged nominal amount to the net monetary position in U.S. dollars on a periodical basis.


 
6. Capital and financial risk management (continued) Cash flow hedging of the Company’s future exports (continued) Changes in the nominal hedging amount during 2018 are presented in the table below: US$ million The equivalent amount at the CBR exchange rate as of December 31, 2018, RUB billion Nominal amount as of December 31, 2017 873 61 Hedging instruments designated – – Realized cash flow foreign exchange hedges (55) (4) Hedging instruments de-designated (818) (57) Nominal amount as of December 31, 2018 – – The impact of foreign exchange cash flow hedges recognized in other comprehensive income is set out below: 2018 2017 Before income tax Income tax Net of tax Before income tax Income tax Net of tax Total recognized in other comprehensive (loss)/income as of the beginning of the year (290) 58 (232) (435) 87 (348) Foreign exchange effects recognized during the year – – – (1) – (1) Foreign exchange effects reclassified to profit or loss 146 (29) 117 146 (29) 117 Total recognized in other comprehensive (loss)/income for the year 146 (29) 117 145 (29) 116 Total recognized in other comprehensive (loss)/income as of the end of the year (144) 29 (115) (290) 58 (232) The schedule of the expected reclassification of the accumulated foreign exchange loss from other comprehensive income to profit or loss, as of December 31, 2018, is presented below: Year 2019 2020 2021 Total Reclassification (146) 2 – (144) Income tax 29 – – 29 Total, net of tax (117) 2 – (115)


 
6. Capital and financial risk management (continued) Analysis of sensitivity of financial instruments to foreign exchange risk The level of currency risk is assessed on a monthly basis using mathematical modeling methods (Monte Carlo method), as well as sensitivity analysis and is maintained within the limits adopted in line with the Company’s policy. The table below summarizes the impact on the Company’s income before income tax and equity of the depreciation/(appreciation) of the Russian ruble against the U.S. dollar and euro. U.S. dollar effect Euro effect 2018 2017 2018 2017 Currency rate change in % 13.97% 10.09% 13.64% 11.34% Gain/(loss) 85/(85) 72/(72) 42/(42) 19/(19) Equity (112)/112 (91)/91 (3)/3 2/(2) Interest rate risk Loans and borrowings raised at variable interest rates expose the Company to interest rate risk arising from the possible movement of variable elements of the overall interest rate. As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s variable rate liabilities totaled RUB 2,656 billion (net of interest payable). The Company analyzes its interest rate exposure, including by performing scenario analysis to measure the impact of an interest rate shift on annual income before income tax. The table below summarizes the impact of a potential increase or decrease in interest rates on the Company’s profit before tax, as applied to the variable element of interest rates on loans and borrowings. The increase/decrease is based on the management estimates of potential interest rate movements. Increase/decrease in interest rate Effect on income before income tax basis points RUB billion 2018 +5 (1) -5 1 2017 +6 (1) -6 1 The sensitivity analysis is limited to variable rate loans and borrowings and is conducted with all other variables held constant. The analysis is prepared with the assumption that the amount of variable rate liability outstanding at the balance sheet date was outstanding for the whole year. The interest rate on variable rate loans and borrowings will effectively change throughout the year in response to fluctuations in market interest rates. The impact measured through the sensitivity analysis does not take into account other potential changes in economic conditions that may accompany the relevant changes in market interest rates. Credit risk The Company controls its own exposure to credit risk. All external customers and their financial guarantors, other than related parties, undergo a creditworthiness check (including sellers of goods and services who act on a prepayment basis). The Company performs an ongoing assessment and monitoring of the financial position and the risk of default. As of December 31, 2018, management assessed the impact of credit risk (if materialized) on the Company’s financial indicators as low. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying value of financial assets recognized on the consolidated balance sheet, taking into consideration the information disclosed in Note 40 “Contingencies. Guarantees and indemnities issued”. 6. Capital and financial risk management (continued) Credit risk (continued)


 
In addition, as part of its cash management and credit risk function, the Company regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of financial and banking institutions where it deposits cash and performs trade finance operations. The Company primarily has banking relationships with the Russian subsidiaries of large international banking institutions and certain large Russian banks. Liquidity risk The Company has mature liquidity risk management processes covering short-term, mid-term and long-term funding. Liquidity risk is controlled through maintaining sufficient reserves and the adequate amount of committed credit facilities and loan funds. Management regularly monitors projected and actual cash flow information, analyzes the repayment schedules of the existing financial assets and liabilities, including upcoming un-accrued interest payments, and performs annual detailed budgeting procedures. The contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities are presented below: Year ended December 31, 2018 On demand < 1 year 1 to 5 years > 5 years Total Loans and borrowings and other financial liabilities – 1,169 3,379 752 5,300 Finance lease liabilities – 9 19 18 46 Accounts payable to suppliers and contractors – 452 – – 452 Salary and other benefits payable – 88 – – 88 Current operating liabilities of subsidiary banks 77 376 17 – 470 Dividends payable – 1 – – 1 Other accounts payable – 63 – – 63 Derivative financial liabilities – 33 – – 33 Year ended December 31, 2017 On demand < 1 year 1 to 5 years > 5 years Total Loans and borrowings and other financial liabilities – 2,247 1,407 814 4,468 Finance lease liabilities – 9 24 21 54 Accounts payable to suppliers and contractors – 451 – – 451 Salary and other benefits payable – 81 – – 81 Current operating liabilities of subsidiary banks 89 247 – – 336 Dividends payable – 5 – – 5 Other accounts payable – 46 – – 46 Derivative financial liabilities – 74 – – 74

Participation in the exploration of this deep-water gas field in offshore Egypt allows the Company to substantially increase its gas production abroad within a short timeframe and strengthen its positions in this promising and strategically significant region. The acquisition price amounted to US$ 1.1 billion, while the compensation of the 30% share of past project costs to Eni S.p.A., which is subject to reimbursement according to the terms of the concession agreement, amounted to US$ 1.2 billion.


 
7. Acquisitions of subsidiaries and shares in joint operations (continued) Acquisitions of 2017 (continued) The acquired interest in the concession agreement was classified as a joint operation, and was accounted for through the recognition of assets, liabilities, income and expenses in respect of the Company’s interests in accordance with IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements. Allocation of purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is finalized. Fair value of assets acquired was property, plant and equipment in amount of US$ 2.3 billion. Finalization of the purchase price allocation of JSCB Peresvet acquisition In June 2017, the Company acquired a 99.9% share in JSCB Peresvet, a financial institution engaged in banking services.

The estimated equity component of convertible bonds representing a non-controlling interest is zero.


 
7. Acquisitions of subsidiaries and shares in joint operations (continued) Acquisitions of 2017 (continued) The fair value of the cash consideration transferred at the acquisition date was RUB 10 million. Cash flows arising from the JSCB Peresvet acquisition: Cash acquired as a result of the JSCB Peresvet acquisition 1 Cash paid – Net cash inflow 1 The carrying value of the loans to customers approximates the fair value as of the date of the acquisition. Had the JSCB Peresvet acquisition taken place at the beginning of the reporting period (January 1, 2017), revenues and net income of the combined entity would have been RUB 6,016 billion and RUB 312 billion, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2017. Acquisition of LLC Independent Petroleum Company – Projects and LLC Drilling Service Technology In April, 2017 the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of shares in LLC Independent Petroleum Company – Projects, engaged in the development of the Kondinsky, Zapadno-Erginsky, Chaprovsky and Novo-Endyrsky license areas in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District and of 100% of shares in LLC Drilling Service Technology, engaged in the provision of drilling services in the Khanty-Mansiysk region.

24. Property, plant and equipment and construction in progress (continued) The cost of construction in progress included in property, plant and equipment was RUB 2,351 billion and RUB 2,013 billion as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The depreciation charge includes depreciation which was capitalized as part of the construction cost of property, plant and equipment and the cost of inventory in the amount of RUB 18 billion and RUB 15 billion for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company capitalized RUB 191 billion (including RUB 147 billion in capitalized interest expense) and RUB 144 billion (including RUB 117 billion in capitalized interest expense) of expenses on loans and borrowings in 2018 and 2017, respectively. During 2018 and 2017 the Company received government grants for capital expenditures in the amount of RUB 10 billion and RUB 8 billion, respectively. Grants are accounted for as a reduction of additions in the Exploration and production segment. The weighted average rates used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization are 11.63% and 8.31% p.a. in 2018 and 2017, respectively. Due to the factors and circumstances leading to the impairment of goodwill in the Refining and distribution segment (Note 25), the Company performed an impairment test of its refining assets by individual refinery (groups of refineries) which resulted in the impairment of the segment's property, plant and equipment in the amount of RUB 12 billion, recognized in Other expenses (Note 13). The key assumptions used in calculating the value in use of property, plant and equipment largely coincide with those presented in Note 25, but take into consideration the more favorable macroeconomic indicators and forecasts for this segment, as well as the clarification of the regulatory parameters of taxation in the oil refining industry in the fourth quarter of 2018. Exploration and evaluation assets Exploration and evaluation assets included in the Exploration and production segment, including mineral rights to unproved properties, comprise the following: 2018 2017 Cost as of January 1 386 243 Impairment losses as of January 1 – – Net book value as of January 1 386 243 Cost Acquisition of subsidiaries (Note 7) – 47 Acquisition of interest in joint arrangements – 37 Capitalized expenditures 42 71 Reclassified to development assets (43) (8) Expensed (1) (2) Utilization of impairment reserve – – Foreign exchange differences 13 (2) As of December 31 397 386 Impairment losses Accrual of impairment reserve (17) – As of December 31 (17) – Net book value as of December 31 380 386


 
24. Property, plant and equipment and construction in progress (continued) Provision for asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations The provision for asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations was RUB 80 billion and RUB 98 billion as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and included in Property, plant and equipment. 25. Intangible assets and goodwill Intangible assets and goodwill comprise the following: Rights for land lease Other intangible assets Total intangible assets Goodwill Cost as of January 1, 2017 34 48 82 256 Amortization as of January 1, 2017 (13) (10) (23) – Net book value as of January 1, 2017 21 38 59 256 Cost Additions – 10 10 – Acquisition of subsidiaries (Note 7) – 30 30 15 Disposals – (18) (18) (6) Foreign exchange differences – – – – As of December 31, 2017 (restated) 34 70 104 265 Amortization Amortization charge (2) (5) (7) – Disposal of amortization – 1 1 – Foreign exchange differences – – – – As of December 31, 2017 (restated) (15) (14) (29) – Net book value as of December 31, 2017 (restated) 19 56 75 265 Cost Additions – 15 15 – Acquisition of subsidiaries (Note 7) – – – – Disposals – (4) (4) (180) Foreign exchange differences 1 3 4 – As of December 31, 2018 35 84 119 85 Amortization Amortization charge (1) (14) (15) – Disposal of amortization – 2 2 – Foreign exchange differences (1) (1) (2) – As of December 31, 2018 (17) (27) (44) – Net book value as of December 31, 2018 18 57 75 85


 
25. Intangible assets and goodwill (continued) December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Goodwill Exploration and production 85 85 Refining and distribution – 180 Total 85 265 Goodwill acquired through business combinations is allocated to the relevant groups of cash generating units that are operating segments – the Exploration and production segment and the Refining and distribution segment. In assessing whether goodwill has been impaired, the current value of the operating segments (including goodwill) is compared with their estimated value in use. The Company estimates the value in use of the operating segments using a discounted cash flow model. Future cash flows are adjusted for risks specific to each segment and discounted using a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to each segment, for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. The Company’s business plan, approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, is the primary source of information for the determination of the operating segments’ value in use. The business plan contains internal forecasts of oil and gas production, refinery throughputs, sales volumes of various types of refined products, revenues, operating and capital expenditures. As an initial step in the preparation of these plans, various assumptions, such as concerning oil prices, natural gas prices, refining margins, petroleum product margins and cost inflation rates, are set. These assumptions take into account the current prices, U.S. dollar and RUB inflation rates, other macroeconomic factors and historical trends, as well as market volatility. In determining the value in use for each of the operating segments, twelve-year period cash flows calculated on the basis of the Company management’s forecasts are discounted and aggregated with the segments’ terminal value. The use of a forecast period longer than five years originates from the industry’s average investment cycle. For the calculation of the terminal value of the Company’s segments in the post-forecast period the Gordon model is used. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 of each year. The impairment test was performed at the beginning of the fourth quarter of each year using the most actual information available at the date of the impairment test. As a result of the annual test, no impairment of goodwill was identified in 2017. In the beginning of August 2018, the laws on the completion of the tax maneuver in the Russian oil industry were adopted, involving a significant change in the parameters of the fiscal regime. These laws, in a number of scenarios, combined with the current macroeconomic environment and taking into account the measures on stabilizing the prices for petroleum products in the domestic market could create conditions in which the value in use of the oil refining, marketing and logistics business of the Company would be exposed to additional risks. Considering that for the six months of 2018 Refining and distribution segment demonstrated an operating loss, the Company decided to revise the key assumptions used for determining the estimated value in use of the Refining and distribution segment. As a result the carrying amount exceeded its value in use, and RUB 47 billion of impairment loss was recognized in the Interim condensed consolidated financial statements for six months ended June 30, 2018.


 
25. Intangible assets and goodwill (continued) In the third quarter of 2018 the impairment test was updated following further ruble depreciation and oil prices growth along with the corresponding change of the long-term macroeconomic forecast, as well as an uncertainty about the changes to the calculation and administration procedures in respect of the reverse excise for refineries and its price-shocks reducing component. As a result of the update, the excess of carrying amount over its value in use was identified for the Refining and distribution segment and the impairment of the full amount of goodwill was recognized. The lag in the growth rate of market prices for petroleum products compared to the growth rate of crude oil prices is the main factor that led to the impairment of goodwill of the Refining and distribution segment. The impairment loss of RUB 133 billion was recognized in Other expenses of the Interim consolidated statement of profit or loss for three months ended September 30, 2018. The total amount of goodwill impairment loss recognized in Other expenses of the Consolidated statement of profit or loss for twelve months ended December 31, 2018 is RUB 180 billion. Due to the recognized impairment of the Refining and distribution segment goodwill the Company also performed impairment test of its refining property, plant and equipment, as a result of which the impairment loss was identified and recognized in Property, plant and equipment (Note 24). As a result of the annual goodwill impairment test, no impairment of goodwill was identified in 2018 for the Exploration and production segment due to the substantial headroom in the esteemed value in use over identified net assets for the segment. Key assumptions applied to the calculation of value in use Discounted cash flows are most sensitive to changes in the following factors:  The discount rate The discount rate calculation is based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted to reflect the pre-tax discount rate and the discount rate was 10.3% p.a. in 2018 (12.4% p.a. in 2017).  The estimated average annual RUB / U.S. dollar exchange rate The average annual RUB / U.S. dollar exchange rate was forecasted as follows: RUB 63.9 for 2019, RUB 63.8 for 2020, RUB 64.0 for 2021, RUB 64.7 for 2022, RUB 66.3 for 2023 and RUB 68.0 from 2024 onwards.  Oil and petroleum products prices The Urals oil price was forecasted as follows: RUB 4,051 per barrel for 2019, RUB 3,811 per barrel for 2020, RUB 3,703 per barrel for 2021, RUB 3,647 per barrel for 2022, RUB 3,651 per barrel for 2023 and RUB 3,636 per barrel from 2024 onwards. These prices, in turn, form the basis of the forecasted purchase prices for oil consumed in refining and export sales prices for Company’s petroleum products. Oil purchases of the Refining and distribution segment are based on “netback” (export market prices for oil and gas condensate, minus transportation costs, export duties, storage costs, selling expenses and other sales-related expenses). The weighted average price of petroleum products (excluding petrochemicals) was forecasted as follows: RUB 34.5 thousand per tonne, RUB 33.3 thousand per tonne and RUB 33.0 – 34.0 thousand per tonne for 2019, 2020 and from 2021 onwards, respectively.  Production volumes Estimated production volumes were based on detailed data for the fields and refineries and the field development plans and refineries utilization rates approved by management through the long-term planning process were taken into account. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 the Company did not have any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 no intangible assets have been pledged as collateral.

30. Loans and borrowings and other financial liabilities (continued) Long-term loans and borrowings (continued) Long-term bank loans from a foreign bank to finance special-purpose business activities denominated in U.S. dollars are partially secured by oil export contracts. If the Company fails to make timely debt repayments, the terms of such contracts normally provide the lender with the express right of claim to contractual revenue in the amount of the late loan repayments, which the purchaser generally remits directly through transit currency accounts with the lender banks. The outstanding balance of Accounts receivable arising from such contracts amounts to RUB 28 billion and RUB 22 billion as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in Trade receivables of purchasers and customers. In March 2013, the Company drew down four long-term unsecured loans from a group of international banks for a total of US$ 31 billion to finance the acquisition of TNK-BP. Three out of four were fully repaid in previous years. In February 2018 the Company repaid the fourth one for a total amount of US$ 0.2 billion (RUB 11.4 billion at the CBR official exchange rate on the date of transaction). For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company drew down long-term funds from Russian banks under a floating and fixed rate loans. In the first quarter of 2018 the Company raised funds through the placement of three series of documentary non-convertible fixed interest-bearing long-term bonds with a nominal amount of RUB 75 billion and maturity periods of 3 and 10 years: the first one with nominal amount of RUB 5 billion, coupon 7.8% and maturity period of 3 years; the second one with nominal amount of RUB 50 billion, coupon 7.5% and maturity period of 10 years; the third one with nominal amount of RUB 20 billion, coupon 7.3% and maturity period of 10 years. Coupon payments will be made on a semi-annual basis. Bonds with maturity periods of 10 years allow early repurchase at the request of the bond holder, as set out in the respective offering documents. Such purchase/repayment of the bonds does not constitute early redemption. The funds received are used for general corporate purposes.

Contingencies Russian business environment Russia continues economic reforms and the development of its legal, tax and regulatory frameworks as required by a market economy. The future stability of the Russian economy is largely dependent upon these reforms and developments and the effectiveness of economic, financial and monetary measures undertaken by the government. The Russian economy has been negatively impacted by sanctions imposed on Russia by a number of countries. Ruble interest rates remained high. The combination of the above has resulted in reduced access to capital, a higher cost of capital and uncertainty regarding economic growth, which could negatively affect the Company’s future financial position, results of operations and business prospects. Management is taking appropriate measures to support the sustainability of the Company’s business in the current circumstances.


 
40. Contingencies (continued) Russian business environment (continued) The Company also has investments in associates and joint ventures and advances issued to contractors operating in foreign jurisdictions. Besides commercial risks being a part of any investment operation, assets in a number of regions of the Company’s activities also bear political, economic and tax risks which are analyzed by the Company on a regular basis. The Company continuously monitors projects in Venezuela realized with its participation. Commercial relations with the Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA are carried out on the basis of existing contracts and in accordance with applicable international and local legislation. Guarantees and indemnities issued An unconditional unlimited guarantee issued in 2013 in favor of the Government and municipal authorities of Norway is effective in respect of the Company’s operations on the Norwegian continental shelf. That guarantee fully covers all potential ongoing environmental liabilities of RN Nordic Oil AS. A parent company guarantee is required by Norwegian legislation and is an essential condition for licensing the operations of RN Nordic Oil AS on the Norwegian continental shelf jointly with Equinor (until July 2018 – Statoil ASA). The Company’s agreements with Eni S.p.A, Equinor (until July 2018 г. – Statoil ASA) and the ExxonMobil Oil Corporation under the Russian Federation shelf exploration program contain mutual guarantees provided in 2013 and 2014 that are unconditional, unlimited and open-ended. The partnership agreement with the ExxonMobil Oil Corporation for difficult to extract oil reserves in Western Siberia contains mutual guarantees that are unconditional, unlimited and open-ended. In the fourth quarter of 2015 in accordance with the cooperation agreement on difficult to extract oil reserves with Equinor (until July 2018 г. – Statoil ASA), both parties issued parent guarantees on the discharging of the mutual liabilities of their related parties. These guarantees are unconditional, unlimited and open-ended. During 2018, as part of the operating activities of Rosneft, an unconditional irrevocable guarantees were issued in favor of the Government of the Republic of Mozambique providing the coverage of potential liabilities for geological exploration on the Mozambique continental shelf (4 years). In the course of its investing activities, the Company issued guarantees and sureties to third parties up to the RUB 57 billion. As of the period-end the Company assesses the probability of settlement as remote. Legal claims Rosneft and its subsidiaries are involved in litigations which arise from time to time in the course of their business activities. Management believes that the ultimate results of these litigations will not materially affect the performance or financial position of the Company. Taxation Legislation and regulations regarding taxation in Russia continue to evolve. Various legislative acts and regulations are not always clearly written, and their interpretation is subject to the opinions of the taxpayers, and local, regional, and national tax authorities, and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. Instances of inconsistent opinions are not unusual.


 
40. Contingencies (continued) Taxation (continued) In Russia, tax returns remain open and subject to inspection for a period of up to three years. The fact that a year has been reviewed does not close that year, or any tax return applicable to that year, from further review during the period of three calendar years preceding the year when the inspection started. In accordance with Russian tax legislation, if an understatement of a tax liability is detected as a result of an inspection, penalties and fines to be paid might be material in respect of the tax liability misstatement. During the reporting period, the tax authorities continued their inspections of Rosneft and some of its subsidiaries for 2014-2017. The Company’s management does not expect the outcome of the inspections to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or results of operations. As part of the new regime for fiscal control over the pricing of related party transactions, the Company and the Federal Tax Service signed a number of pricing agreements in 2012-2018 with respect to the taxation of oil sales transactions in Russia. To date, the Russian Federal Tax Service has not exercised its right to conduct tax audits under the rules of transfer pricing for 2012-2015 and these periods are now “closed” for tax control purposes. For subsequent periods the Company has provided explanations to the Russian Federal Tax Service and the regional tax authorities to the extent necessary for the completed transactions. The Company believes that transfer pricing risks in relation to intragroup transactions during the twelve months of 2018 and earlier will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. In 2012 the Company has created a consolidated group of taxpayers (hereinafter “CGT”) which includes Rosneft and its 21 subsidiaries. Rosneft became the responsible taxpayer of the CGT. At present, under the terms of the agreement the number of members of the consolidated group of taxpayers has been 64. The Company follows the rules of tax legislation on de-offshorization, including income tax rules for controlled foreign companies to calculate its current and deferred income tax estimates. Overall, management believes that the Company has paid and accrued all taxes that are applicable. For taxes where uncertainty exists, the Company has accrued tax liabilities based on management’s best estimate of the probable outflow of resources that will be required to settle these liabilities. Capital commitments The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in ongoing capital projects for the exploration and development of production facilities and the modernization of refineries and the distribution network. The budgets for these projects are generally set on an annual basis. The total amount of contracted but not yet delivered goods and services related to the construction and acquisition of property, plant and equipment amounted to RUB 758 billion and RUB 716 billion as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Environmental liabilities The Company periodically evaluates its environmental liabilities pursuant to environmental regulations. Such liabilities are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as and when identified. Potential liabilities, that could arise as a result of changes in existing regulations or the settlement of civil litigation, or as a result of changes in environmental standards, cannot be reliably estimated but may be material. With the existing system of control, management believes that there are no material liabilities for environmental damage other than those recorded in these consolidated financial statements.
