Exploration and Production
----------------------
The replacement cost profit before interest and tax for the second quarter was
$6,893 million, a decrease of 12% from the second quarter of 2006. This result
was impacted by lower reported volumes and higher costs, reflecting the
continued impact of sector-specific inflation, increased integrity spend and
higher depreciation charges associated primarily with the change to SEC
guidelines for reserves reporting as well as increased decommissioning
provisions. Net non-operating gains for the second quarter were $399 million,
mainly arising from net gains on the disposal of interests in the Permian,
Entrada and Kaybob assets in North America and fair value gains on embedded
derivatives relating to North Sea gas contracts, partially offset by an
impairment charge related to the cancellation of the DF1 project in Scotland.
Reported production for the quarter was 3,804 mboe/d, down 5% compared with the
second quarter of 2006. After adjusting for the effect of disposals and
entitlement changes in our production sharing agreements, production for the
quarter was down 1%. Full year production in 2007 is expected to be in the range
of 3.8 to 3.9 mmboe/d, in line with the guidance provided earlier in the year.
The replacement cost profit before interest and tax of $12,936 million for the
half year represented a decrease of 12% over the same period of the previous
year. This result was impacted by lower oil and gas realizations as well as
lower reported volumes and higher costs, reflecting sector-specific inflation,
increased integrity spend and higher depreciation charges. The half-year result
included net non-operating gains of $1,147 million.
Reported production for the half year was 3,857 mboe/d, 4% lower than in the
first half of 2006. After adjusting for the effect of disposals and entitlement
changes in our production-sharing agreements, production for the half year was
broadly flat compared with the prior year.
During the quarter, we had first production from the Rosa project in Angola,
where BP holds a 16.67% working interest. Also in Angola, we made our 14th
discovery in Block 31 (Cordelia). Additionally, we announced the Isabela
discovery in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
In May, we signed agreements with Occidental Petroleum Corporation to dispose of
our 100% interest in the West Texas pipeline system and our interests in
non-core Permian assets in the US. In exchange, BP acquired a 42% interest in
the Badin field in Pakistan and a 331/3% interest in Horn Mountain in the
deepwater Gulf of Mexico and received a cash payment. Separately, in April, we
divested our interest in the Entrada field in the Gulf of Mexico and in June we
divested some of our interests in the Kaybob field in Alberta, Canada.
During the quarter, we also announced a major exploration and production
agreement with Libya's National Oil Company, a memorandum of understanding to
establish a global strategic alliance with Gazprom and TNK-BP and the proposed
divestment of TNK-BP's interests in the Kovytka gas project.

(a) Profit from continuing operations and includes profit after interest and tax
of equity-accounted entities.
(b) Refining availability is defined as the ratio of units which are available
for processing, regardless of whether they are actually being used, to total
capacity. Where there is planned maintenance, such capacity is not regarded
as being available. During 2006, there was planned maintenance of a
substantial part of the Texas City refinery.
(c) The Global Indicator Refining Margin (GIM) is the average of regional
indicator margins weighted for BP's crude refining capacity in each region.
Each regional indicator margin is based on a single representative crude
with product yields characteristic of the typical level of upgrading
complexity. 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.
Refining and Marketing
-------------------
The replacement cost profit before interest and tax for the second quarter and
half year was $2,740 million and $3,578 million respectively. The results in the
equivalent periods of 2006 were $1,856 million and $3,468 million respectively.
The results include net non-operating gains of $767 million in the second
quarter and $538 million for the half year. The second quarter gain comprised of
disposal gains of $1,025 million primarily related to the sale of the Coryton
refinery, which completed on 31 May 2007, and the sale of the US West Texas
pipeline system to Occidental Petroleum Corporation, partially offset by an
impairment charge of $258 million.
Compared with 2006, both the second quarter and half-year results benefited from
significantly stronger refining margins, particularly in the US; marketing
margins were also stronger. However, these benefits were more than offset by the
impact of operational issues and scheduled turnarounds at a number of our
refineries in the US. Compared with 2006, the second quarter and first half
results reflect higher integrity management and refinery turnaround costs as
well as lower supply optimization benefits, partially offset by a positive
impact from non-operating items.
Information on fair value accounting effects is set out on page 10.
Refining throughputs for the quarter and half year were 2,128 mb/d and 2,180 mb/
d respectively, compared with 2,289 mb/d and 2,156 mb/d for the same periods
last year. The lower throughputs were mainly due to the outages in our Mid West
US refineries and were only partially offset by the benefits of the ongoing
recommissioning at the Texas City refinery.
Operational issues at the Whiting refinery in the US have limited the site's
throughput and ability to make low- sulphur gasoline from sour crude oil.
Repairs are ongoing and we expect to resume sour crude processing in the fourth
quarter of 2007 and to restore the refinery to its full flexibility and crude
capacity in the first half of 2008.
Marketing sales were 3,808 mb/d for the quarter and 3,788 mb/d for the half
year, slightly lower than the comparative periods in the previous year, mainly
due to divestments and lower European heating oil demand as a result of milder
weather.
On 26 June 2007, BP, Associated British Foods and DuPont announced investment of
$400 million in the construction of a world-scale bioethanol plant with expected
annual production capacity of some 420 million litres from wheat feedstock, to
be commissioned in late 2009. On 29 June 2007, BP announced a joint venture with
D1 Oils plc, a UK-based global producer of biodiesel, for the development of
jatropha as a new energy crop.

(a) Profit from continuing operations and includes profit after interest and tax
of equity-accounted entities.
The replacement cost profit before interest and tax for the second quarter and
half year was $190 million and $396 million respectively, compared with $453
million and $754 million a year ago. Included in the result for the quarter was
a net charge for non-operating items of $36 million primarily arising from fair
value losses of $23 million on embedded derivatives related to long-term gas
contracts and an impairment charge.
The second quarter result decreased by 58% over the second quarter of 2006 and
the first half result was also lower. The results for both periods were impacted
by weaker contributions from the gas trading and marketing business, higher
expenditure in the Alternative Energy business and a negative impact in respect
of non-operating items.
Information on fair value accounting effects is set out on page 10.
In May, BP and Rio Tinto announced the formation of a new jointly owned company,
Hydrogen Energy, which will develop decarbonized energy projects around the
world. The venture will initially focus on hydrogen-fuelled power generation,
using fossil fuels and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to produce
new large-scale supplies of clean electricity.

Explanatory Note
--------------
Information on fair value accounting effects
BP uses derivative instruments to manage the economic exposure relating to
inventories above normal operating requirements of crude oil, natural gas and
petroleum products as well as certain contracts to supply physical volumes at
future dates. Under IFRS, these inventories and contracts are recorded at
historic cost and on an accruals basis respectively. The related derivative
instruments, however, are required to be recorded at fair value with gains and
losses recognized in income 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 and contracts 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.
IFRS requires that inventory held for trading be 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.
The Gas, Power and Renewables business enters into contracts for pipelines and
storage capacity which, under IFRS, are recorded on an accruals basis. These
contracts are risk managed using a variety of derivative instruments which 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 by comparing the IFRS result with
management's internal measure of performance, under which the inventory and the
supply and capacity contracts in question are valued based on fair value using
relevant forward prices prevailing at the end of the period. 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. The impacts of fair value accounting effects, relative to
management's internal measure of performance, are shown in the table below.
