======================= =============
(a) Crude oil and natural gas liquids.
(b) Henry Hub First of Month Index.
(c) The Global Indicator Refining Margin (GIM) is the average of seven
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.
(d) The Chemicals Indicator Margin (CIM) is a weighted average of
externally-based product margins reflecting industry supply/demand
conditions. It is based on market data collected by Chem Systems in
their quarterly market analyses, then weighted based on the major
components of BP's product portfolio. The products and businesses
covered in the CIM are olefins and derivatives, aromatics and
derivatives, linear alpha olefins, acetic acid, vinyl acetate monomer
and nitriles. Not included are fabrics and fibres, plastic
fabrications, poly alpha olefins, anhydrides, speciality
intermediates, and the remaining parts of the solvents and acetyls
businesses. This quarter the margin indicator has been adjusted to
reflect the Erdolchemie purchase and the impact of recently divested
businesses. Prior quarters have been restated.
(e) Provisional. The data for the third quarter is based on two months'
actual and one month of provisional data.
