==================== ====================
- BP's pro forma result, adjusted for special items, for the third
quarter was $3,796 million compared to $1,955 million a year ago. The
result per share was 16.91 cents compared to 10.09 cents a year ago, an
increase of 68%. For the nine months the per share amount was up by
125%.
- Reductions in the combined cost structure of BP and ARCO are proceeding
according to plan with around three-quarters of the $2 billion year-on-
year target achieved at the end of the third quarter.
- Pro forma return on average capital employed is 23% for the third
quarter compared to 16% a year ago.
- The company purchased for cancellation $428 million of its own shares
during the quarter. Total purchases so far this year amount to $1,404
million.
- Excluding the effect of acquisitions and divestments, third quarter
upstream volumes decreased by 3% on a year ago. Reported volumes grew
by 6%. For the nine months the comparable numbers are a decrease of 2%
and an increase of 3% respectively.
- Quarterly dividend increased by 5% to 5.25 cents per share ($0.315 per
ADS).
BP today reported its third quarter 2000 results. BP Group Chief Executive,
Sir John Browne, commented:
'These record results arise from not only a very strong trading
environment but also continued performance improvement. These factors
have led to improved returns which, with capital discipline, have
allowed us to buy back shares and to increase the dividend.
Integration of recent acquisitions is on track.'
The financial performance information above and elsewhere in the document is
provided in order to enable investors to evaluate better both the company's
historical performance and its performance against that of its competitors.
The pro forma result, adjusted for special items, has been derived from the
company's reported UK GAAP accounting information but is not in itself a
recognized UK or US GAAP measure.
* The special items refer to non-recurring charges and credits reported in
the quarter. The special items in the quarter comprise principally ARCO,
Vastar and Burmah Castrol integration costs and rationalization costs
post the BP Amoco merger.
+ Depreciation and amortization in 2000 relating to the fixed asset
revaluation adjustment and goodwill consequent upon the ARCO and Burmah
Castrol acquisitions.
Quarterly Summary
Exploration and Production produced another record result. Reported production
increased by 6% (a 3% decline excluding the effect of acquisitions and
divestments). Compared to the same period last year, oil production was down
7% (a 5% decline excluding the effect of acquisitions and divestments), gas
production increased by 32% (no change excluding the effect of acquisitions
and divestments). New developments in the US Gulf of Mexico were approved by
BP, amounting to $1.2 billion in commitments. Government approval has been
sought for $630 million worth of development offshore UK. During the quarter,
there were further discoveries in Angola and Trinidad, with significant
estimated resource.
Gas sales volumes increased by 64% (a 28% increase excluding the effect of
acquisitions).
The strong refining and marketing results were due to higher refining margins,
continuing cost reductions and contributions from both ARCO and Burmah
Castrol. Marketing margins remained under strong competitive pressure from
high product prices, exacerbated by fuel tax protests in the UK and elsewhere
in Europe.
Chemicals' result reflected higher feedstock costs and the effect of
unscheduled plant shutdowns at Grangemouth, Scotland, offset by lower costs.
Interest expense reflected higher average debt levels during the quarter.
The pro forma effective tax rate on replacement cost profit, before
exceptional items, was 26%, the same as in the previous quarter.
Excluding the cost of acquisitions and spending by the acquisitions, capital
expenditure for the nine months was $5.6 billion, compared to $4.9 billion a
year ago, an increase of 14%. Disposal proceeds amounted to $10 billion
compared to $1.1 billion a year ago. Acquisitions in the nine months amounted
to $6.2 billion (nil a year ago). Net cash outflow for capital expenditure and
acquisitions, net of disposals, was $3.7 billion compared with $4.2 billion
for the nine months of 1999.
Net debt at the end of the quarter was $17.2 billion. The pro forma ratio of
net debt to net debt plus equity was 25%.
Net cash outflow for the quarter was $2.7 billion, compared with an inflow of
$0.4 billion a year ago. Significantly higher operating cash flow was more
than offset by higher payments for capital expenditure and acquisitions, net
of divestments, and higher tax payments relating to both tax on operations and
on disposals.

The commentaries above and following are based on the pro forma replacement
cost operating results for the quarter, before exceptional items, adjusted for
special items. The results of ARCO and Burmah Castrol have been included with
effect from 14 April and 7 July 2000 respectively. The European Fuels Joint
Venture has been consolidated with effect from 1 August 2000.

Exploration and Production
The pro forma results, adjusted for special items comprising ARCO and Vastar
integration costs and an asset writedown, for the third quarter and nine
months were a record $4,156 million and $11,010 million respectively. The
improved results, when compared with a year ago, reflected significantly
higher oil and gas prices, the ARCO acquisition and further operational
improvements. Movements in production are shown in the table below.

and Divestments
Oil (7) (5)
Gas 32 -
Total 6 (3)
A detailed volume reconciliation schedule can be found in the Investor
Relations supplement. Third quarter 2000 production, excluding acquisitions
and divestments, reflects the reduced 1999 capital programme. Capital
expenditure for the current quarter increased to $1.9 billion ($1.4 billion,
excluding ARCO ongoing capital expenditure) from the $0.8 billion spent in the
third quarter of 1999. The corresponding amounts for the nine month periods
are $4.3 billion ($3.3 billion) and $2.8 billion.
In the US Gulf of Mexico, the developments of NaKika (BP 50%), Horn Mountain
(BP 67% and operator) and Kings Peak (BP 100% and operator) and, offshore UK,
the second phase of Foinaven, have all been approved by BP. UK government
approval has been sought for the Magnus enhanced oil recovery project that
will take gas from Foinaven and Schiehallion for reinjection in the Magnus
reservoir.
In September, BP announced the completion of the purchase of the publicly held
minority stock holding in Vastar Resources Inc. BP had acquired 81.8% of
Vastar through the ARCO acquisition. Because of the close operational
alignment with the existing BP upstream US operations, the Vastar operations
have been rapidly integrated with the BP operations.
During the quarter, offshore Angola, discoveries at Saxi-1, in Block 15 (BP
26.67%) and Perpetua-1, in Block 17 (BP 16.67%) and, offshore Trinidad and
Tobago, a major new natural gas discovery were announced. The initial well on
the Red Mango field (BP 100%) indicated gas volumes of some three trillion
cubic feet and 90 million barrels of oil condensate, making it the largest
discovery yet made in Trinidad and Tobago. This is BP's second major gas find
in this area this year.

Gas and Power
The pro forma result for the third quarter was $48 million compared with $57
million a year ago and $26 million during the second quarter. The nine months
result was $126 million compared to $163 million for 1999. The 2000 results
reflect improved performance from higher gas sales volumes, more than offset
by increased business development costs and lower Ruhrgas income.
During the quarter regulatory approval was received for the purchase of IGI
Resources, a US natural gas and power trading and transportation business.
In the UK, BP became the first company to provide an emissions credits
management service to a major energy user - Imerys (formerly English China
Clay), as part of a wider energy management relationship.
In Spain, we established a leading new entrant position in the recently
liberalized market by winning some 5% share of the eligible industrial market.
We launched an integrated energy offer 'Energia', in combination with BP's oil
marketing business.
In Texas, plans were announced to construct a major gas-fired co-generation
plant at Texas City, BP's largest refining and petrochemicals complex. Gas
will be supplied by BP with options for power marketing and trading. The
refinery and chemicals operations will benefit from greater efficiency with
resultant lower costs and significantly reduced emissions of nitrogen oxides
in the Houston area.

Refining and Marketing
The pro forma result, after adjusting for special items, for the third quarter
was $1,343 million and for the nine months $3,499 million, both significantly
up on a year ago. The special items comprised rationalization costs post the
BP Amoco merger, ARCO and Burmah Castrol integration costs and litigation
costs. The main reasons for the improved results compared to last year were
higher refining margins, continuing cost reductions and contributions from
ARCO and Burmah Castrol. Refining margins were stronger in all regions.
Marketing margins remained under pressure due to the inability to pass through
high product prices in fiercely competitive markets. This was exacerbated by
fuel tax protests in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. Excluding ARCO and the
Mobil European Fuels JV acquisition effects, shop sales in the quarter were
10% higher than a year ago. The quarter on quarter comparison also benefited
from higher refinery throughputs, mainly driven by fewer turnarounds.
The Burmah Castrol acquisition was completed on 7th July. In addition, the
final agreement on the acquisition of the Mobil European Fuels JV share was
completed in August. These changes are reflected in reported volumes. Burmah
Castrol contributed an additional 34mb/d. Consolidation of the European Fuels
JV led to an increase of 179mb/d in refining and 208mb/d in marketing.
The sale to Tosco Corporation of the Alliance refinery, located in Belle
Chasse, Louisiana, was completed in September.

Chemicals
Chemicals' pro forma result, after adjusting for special items, for the third
quarter was $267 million, down from $370 million in the second quarter. This
reflected margin pressure from higher feedstock costs and unscheduled plant
shutdowns at Grangemouth, Scotland. The third quarter and nine months results
were up on a year ago, with generally better margins, despite the euro being
some 15% weaker and lower costs.
Chemicals' production was 5,488 ktes in the third quarter. This was similar to
the previous quarter and third quarter last year.
In September, BP signed a memorandum of understanding for a joint venture
purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant in China. The unit is expected to be
built at the Caojing chemical industry park near Shanghai, where BP and
Sinopec subsidiary Shanghai Petrochemical (SPC) are planning an olefins
complex.

2000 Dividends
BP today announced a third quarterly dividend for 2000 of 5.25 cents per
ordinary share. Holders of ordinary shares will receive 3.602 pence per share
and holders of American Depository Receipts (ADRs) $0.315 per ADS share. The
dividend is payable on 11 December 2000 to shareholders on the register on 17
November 2000. Participants in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) or the
DRIP facility in the US Direct Access Plan will receive the dividend in the
form of shares, also on 11 December 2000. The fourth quarter 2000 results and
dividend will be announced on 13 February 2001.
Outlook
BP Group Chief Executive, Sir John Browne, concluded:
'Overall, the outlook for the rest of the year continues to be broadly
positive. Crude prices reflect robust demand, though are likely to be
volatile on market sentiment. Low stocks are likely to continue to
support the market. Natural gas prices remain strong and are likely to
be underpinned by seasonal demand. Low product stocks are likely to
continue to underpin refining margins, though marketing margins may
remain under pressure. Underlying demand for chemicals remains unchanged
but margins are likely to come under pressure due to increasing supply,
with continuing high oil prices and euro weakness.
'Implementation of our strategy continues. Disciplined investment will
lead to top-line growth. Cost reductions and portfolio improvements
continue to improve underlying returns.'
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The foregoing discussion, in particular the statements under 'Outlook',
focuses on certain trends and general market and economic conditions
and outlook on production levels or rates, prices, margins and currency
exchange rates and, as such, are forward-looking statements that
involve risk and uncertainty that could cause actual results and
developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by
this discussion. By their nature, trends and outlook on production,
price, margin and currency exchange rates are difficult to forecast
with any precision, and there are a number of factors that could cause
actual results and developments to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements,including
future levels of industry product supply, demand and pricing; currency
exchange rates; political stability and economic growth in relevant
areas of the world; development and use of new technology and
successful partnering; the actions of competitors, natural disasters
and other changes to business conditions. Additional information,
including information on factors which may affect BP's business, is
contained in BP's Annual Report and Accounts for 1999 and in the Annual
Report on Form 20-F filed with the US Securities and Exchange
