Notes 
 
1.      Basis of preparation 
 
The interim financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial
Reporting'. 
 
The results for the interim periods are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for
a fair presentation of the results for each period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. This report
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended 31 December
2015 included in the BP Annual Report and Form 20-F 2015. 
 
The directors have made an assessment of the group's ability to continue as a going concern and consider it appropriate to
adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these interim financial statements. 
 
BP prepares its consolidated financial statements included within BP Annual Report and Form 20-F on the basis of
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), IFRS
as adopted by the European Union (EU) and in accordance with the provisions of the UK Companies Act 2006. 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 periods presented. 
 
The financial information presented herein has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies expected to be used
in preparing BP Annual Report and Form 20-F 2016, which do not differ significantly from those used in BP Annual Report and
Form 20-F 2015. 
 
In BP Annual Report and Form 20-F 2015 we disclosed a significant estimate or judgement relating to provisions arising from
the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010. At that time, no reliable estimate could be made of any business economic loss (BEL)
claims under the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee (PSC) settlement that were not yet processed or processed but not yet paid,
except where an eligibility notice had been issued and was not subject to appeal by BP within the Deepwater Horizon Court
Supervised Settlement Program claims facility (DHCSSP). A reliable estimate could also not be made in relation to
securities-related litigation and other litigation, including economic loss and property damage claims from parties
excluded from and/or who opted out of the PSC settlement. No amounts were provided for these items and they were disclosed
as contingent liabilities. 
 
As a result of developments during the second quarter of 2016 sufficient information now exists in order to make a reliable
estimate of the amounts that BP will pay relating to all outstanding BEL claims under the DHCSSP, securities class actions
and economic loss and property damage claims from parties who were excluded from and/or opted out of the PSC settlement.
Liabilities have therefore been recognized in the financial statements for these items. See Note 2 for further
information. 
 
2.      Gulf of Mexico oil spill 
 
(a) Overview 
 
The information presented in this note should be read in conjunction with BP Annual Report and Form 20-F 2015 - Financial
statements - Note 2 and Legal proceedings on page 237 and on page 33 of this report. 
 
Following significant progress in resolving outstanding claims arising from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident and oil
spill, a reliable estimate has now been determined for all remaining material liabilities arising from the incident, and an
additional charge has been recorded this quarter. 
 
The group income statement includes a pre-tax charge of $5,229 million for the second quarter and $6,146 million for the
first half 2016 in relation to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The cumulative pre-tax income statement charge since the
incident, in April 2010, amounts to $61,597 million. It is now possible to reliably estimate the cost of resolving all
outstanding business economic loss claims under the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee (PSC) settlement and the cost of
resolving economic loss and property damage claims from individuals and businesses that either opted out of the PSC
settlement and/or were excluded from that settlement. The second-quarter increase in provisions of $4,935 million is
primarily attributable to the recognition of additional provisions for these claims. The remainder of the income statement
charge for the second quarter relates predominantly to the cost of the securities claims settlement with the certified
class of post-explosion ADS purchasers, which was agreed in June 2016 and recognized in Other payables, and finance costs
relating to the unwinding of discounting effects. The charge for the half year also includes charges recorded in the first
quarter for increases in provisions for certain business economic loss claims under the PSC settlement and the settlement
of certain civil claims outside of the PSC settlement and additional finance costs.

Net cash from operating activities relating to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, on a post-tax basis, amounted to an outflow of
$1,398 million and an outflow of $2,523 million in the second quarter and first half of 2016 respectively. For the same
periods in 2015, the amounts were an outflow of $106 million and an outflow of $797 million respectively. 
 
Trust fund 
 
During the first half of 2016, the remaining cash in the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Trust (the Trust) was exhausted and BP
commenced paying claims and other costs previously funded from the Trust. For certain costs, these payments are made by BP
into a qualified settlement fund, the fund then distributes the amounts to the claimant; $860 million was paid into a
qualified settlement fund during the second quarter ($1,399 million during the first half).

Environmental 
 
The environmental provisions relating to natural resource damage costs and the early restoration framework agreement were
reclassified to Other payables during the first quarter following approval by the Court in April 2016 of the Consent Decree
between the United States, the Gulf states and BP. Remaining amounts related to early restoration were paid during the
second quarter. 
 
Litigation and claims 
 
The litigation and claims provision includes amounts for the future cost of resolving claims by individuals and businesses
for damage to real or personal property, lost profits or impairment of earning capacity and loss of subsistence use of
natural resources. Claims administration costs and legal costs have also been provided for. 
 
At 31 December 2015, the litigation and claims provision included amounts provided under the state claims settlement
agreement with the Gulf states in relation to state claims that had not yet been paid. These amounts were reclassified to
Other payables during the first quarter and are payable over 18 years; $0.9 billion was paid in July 2016. 
 
Litigation and claims - PSC settlement 
 
BP has provided for its best estimate of the cost associated with the 2012 PSC settlement. 
 
Prior to the second quarter of 2016, no reliable estimate could be made of any business economic loss claims not yet
processed or processed but not yet paid, except where an eligibility notice had been issued and was not subject to appeal
by BP within the DHCSSP.

Notes 
 
2.      Gulf of Mexico oil spill (continued) 
 
The DHCSSP continues to process business economic loss claims and, for certain lower-value claims, simplified processing
procedures have been implemented by the DHCSSP. In recent quarters the pace of processing claims has accelerated and, by
the end of the second quarter, over three quarters of the total claims had been determined. Furthermore, the number of
claims that had been processed using specialized frameworks for particular industry groups, that include the application of
the revised policy for matching revenue and expenses, had increased significantly. Additional insight has also been
obtained into the population of undetermined claims, including the industry groupings they fall within, which enhances BP's
understanding of the claims yet to be determined. The combination of these factors provides sufficient information to
reliably estimate the liability for the remaining business economic loss claims. Accordingly, a provision has been
established for these items as at 30 June 2016. Amounts to settle these claims are expected to be paid by 2019. 
 
The provision has been determined based upon an expected value of the remaining business economic loss claims. Claims are
determined by the DHCSSP in accordance with the PSC settlement agreement. The amounts ultimately payable may differ from
the amount provided. 
 
Litigation and claims - Other claims 
 
During the second quarter, significant progress was also made in resolving economic loss and property damage claims from
individuals and businesses that either opted out of the PSC settlement and/or were excluded from that settlement. On 14
July 2016 the federal district court issued an order, details of which are described in Legal proceedings on page 33.
Following this court order, the vast majority of these claims have now been either resolved or dismissed. Therefore, an
estimate of the cost of the remaining claims, most of which is expected to be paid by the end of 2016, is also recognized
in provisions. 
 
Clean Water Act penalties 
 
The provision previously recognized for penalties under Section 311 of the Clean Water Act, as determined by the civil
settlement with the United States, was reclassified to Other payables during the first quarter following approval by the
Court of the Consent Decree. The amount is payable in instalments over 15 years, commencing April 2017. The unpaid balance
of this penalty accrues interest at a fixed rate. 
 
Further information on provisions is provided in BP Annual Report and Form 20-F 2015 - Financial statements - Note 2. 
 
Contingent liabilities 
 
Any further outstanding Deepwater Horizon related claims are not expected to have a material impact on the group's
financial performance. 
 
3.      Non-current assets held for sale 
 
On 15 January 2016 BP and Rosneft announced that they had signed definitive agreements to dissolve the German refining
joint operation Ruhr Oel GmbH (ROG). The restructuring, which is expected to be completed in 2016, will result in Rosneft
taking ownership of ROG's interests in the Bayernoil, MiRO Karlsruhe and PCK Schwedt refineries. In exchange, BP will take
sole ownership of the Gelsenkirchen refinery and the solvent production facility DHC Solvent Chemie. Assets and associated
liabilities relating to BP's share of ROG's interests in the Bayernoil, MiRO Karlsruhe and PCK Schwedt refineries are
classified as held for sale in the group balance sheet. 
 
On 10 June 2016 BP and Det norske oljeselskap announced the creation of Aker BP ASA, an independent oil and gas company.
Under the terms of the proposed transaction, which is expected to be completed in 2016, the BP Norge AS and Det norske
businesses will combine and be renamed Aker BP ASA. The transaction will result in Aker BP ASA being owned by current Det
norske shareholder Aker (40%), other Det norske shareholders (30%) and BP (30%). Assets and associated liabilities relating
to BP Norge AS are classified as held for sale in the group balance sheet at 30 June 2016.

7.      Earnings per share and shares in issue 
 
Basic earnings per ordinary share (EpS) amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to
ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. 
 
The calculation of EpS is performed separately for each discrete quarterly period, and for the year-to-date period. As a
result, the sum of the discrete quarterly EpS amounts in any particular year-to-date period may not be equal to the EpS
amount for the year-to-date period. 
 
For the diluted EpS calculation the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the

Dividends payable 
 
BP today announced an interim dividend of 10.00 cents per ordinary share which is expected to be paid on 16 September 2016
to shareholders and American Depositary Share (ADS) holders on the register on 5 August 2016. The corresponding amount in
sterling is due to be announced on 6 September 2016, calculated based on the average of the market exchange rates for the
four dealing days commencing on 31 August 2016. Holders of ADSs are expected to receive $0.600 per ADS (less applicable
fees). A scrip dividend alternative is available, allowing shareholders to elect to receive their dividend in the form of
new ordinary shares and ADS holders in the form of new ADSs. Details of the second-quarter dividend and timetable are
available at bp.com/dividends and details of the scrip dividend programme are available at bp.com/scrip.
