Financial results 
 
The replacement cost profit before interest and tax for the second quarter and half year was $795 million and $2,051
million respectively, compared with a loss of $109 million and $1,314 million for the same periods in 2016. The second
quarter and half year included a net non-operating charge of $21 million and $381 million respectively, compared with a net
non-operating gain of $7 million and a charge of $348 million for the same periods in 2016. Fair value accounting effects
in the second quarter and half year had a favourable impact of $106 million and $352 million respectively, compared with an
unfavourable impact of $145 million and $248 million in the same periods of 2016. 
 
After adjusting for non-operating items and fair value accounting effects, the underlying replacement cost profit before
interest and tax for the second quarter and half year was $710 million and $2,080 million respectively, compared with a
profit of $29 million and a loss of $718 million for the same periods in 2016. The result for the second quarter and half
year mainly reflected higher liquids and gas realizations, and higher production including the impact of the Abu Dhabi
concession renewal and major project start-ups, partly offset by higher exploration write-offs largely in Angola and higher
depreciation, depletion and amortization. 
 
Production 
 
Production for the quarter was 2,431mboe/d, 9.9% higher than the second quarter of 2016. Underlying production* for the
quarter increased by 7.0%, due to the ramp-up of major projects. For the first half, production was 2,410mboe/d, 6.4%
higher than in the same period of 2016. First-half underlying production was 5% higher than the same period of 2016 due to
major project start-ups. 
 
Key events 
 
On 8 May, BP along with joint venture partner Kosmos Energy announced the Yakaar gas discovery located at Cayar Offshore
Profond block offshore Senegal (BP 60% (following completion on 3 July of the acquisition by BP of Timis Corp's working
interest), Kosmos 30%, and Petrosen 10%). 
 
On 10 May, BP announced the start of gas production from the first two fields, Taurus and Libra, of the West Nile Delta
development in Egypt (BP operator 82.75 % and DEA Deutsche Erdoel AG 17.25%). 
 
On 22 May, BP announced first oil from the redeveloped Schiehallion Area, following completion of the Quad 204 project in
the west of Shetland region, offshore UK (BP operator 36%, Shell 54%, and Siccar Point Energy 10%). 
 
On 2 June, BP Trinidad and Tobago LLC (bpTT) announced the sanction for the development of its Angelin offshore gas
project. On the same day, bpTT also announced that it has made two significant gas discoveries with the Savannah and
Macadamia exploration wells. 
 
On 15 June, BP and Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) announced the development of the R-Series project in Block KG D6 off
the east coast of India (RIL operator 60%, BP 30%, and NIKO 10%). 
 
This builds on the progress announced in our first-quarter results, which comprised the following: BP's previously
announced transaction with Kosmos Energy in Senegal was approved by the Senegal Minister of Energy and of Development of
Renewable Energies; BP completed the purchase of a 10% interest from Eni (operator, 90%) in the Shorouk concession offshore
Egypt; BP announced its third gas discovery in the North Damietta Offshore Concession (BP 100%) in the East Nile Delta,
Egypt; BP announced that it had agreed to sell its Forties Pipeline System (FPS) business and other associated interests
and facilities to INEOS; and bpTT announced the start-up of the Trinidad onshore compression project. 
 
Outlook 
 
Looking ahead, we expect third-quarter reported production to be broadly flat with the second quarter with the continued
ramp-up of major projects offset by seasonal turnaround and maintenance activities.

Financial results 
 
The replacement cost profit before interest and tax for the second quarter and first half was $1,567 million and $3,273
million respectively, compared with $1,405 million and $3,285 million for the same periods in 2016. 
 
The second quarter and half year include a net non-operating gain of $138 million and $62 million respectively, compared
with a net non-operating charge of $37 million and a net non-operating gain of $249 million for the same periods in 2016.
Fair value accounting effects had a favourable impact of $16 million in the second quarter and $56 million for the half
year, compared with an unfavourable impact of $71 million and $290 million for the same periods in 2016. 
 
After adjusting for non-operating items and fair value accounting effects, the underlying replacement cost profit before
interest and tax for the second quarter and half year was $1,413 million and $3,155 million respectively, compared with
$1,513 million and $3,326 million for the same periods in 2016. 
 
Replacement cost profit before interest and tax for fuels, lubricants and petrochemicals is set out on page 9. 
 
Fuels business 
 
The fuels business reported an underlying replacement cost profit before interest and tax of $908 million for the second
quarter and $2,108 million for the half year, compared with $1,011 million and $2,327 million for the same periods in 2016,
driven by higher fuels marketing and refining results which were more than offset by a significantly lower supply and
trading contribution for both the quarter and half year. 
 
The fuels marketing result for the quarter and half year reflects continued growth supported by the rollout of our
convenience partnership sites and higher premium volumes. For the half year, the fuels marketing result was around 20%
higher than the same period last year. 
 
The refining result for the quarter and half year benefited from stronger refining commercial optimization, partially
offset by a higher level of turnaround activity. The half year also benefited from improved industry refining margins which
were partially offset by narrower North American heavy crude oil differentials. 
 
In the second quarter, we signed a memorandum of understanding with Reliance Industries Limited to jointly explore options
to develop differentiated retail and aviation fuels, mobility and advanced low carbon energy businesses in India. 
 
On 18 July we announced that we are evaluating the formation and initial public offering of a master limited partnership to
enhance shareholder value and to support BP's strategy to grow its US midstream business. 
 
Lubricants business 
 
The lubricants business reported an underlying replacement cost profit before interest and tax of $355 million for the
second quarter and $748 million for the half year, compared with $412 million and $796 million for the same periods in
2016. 
 
During the quarter, we announced an agreement to be the exclusive premium lubricants brand sold by Kroger, the largest
supermarket chain in the US. 
 
Petrochemicals business 
 
The petrochemicals business reported an underlying replacement cost profit before interest and tax of $150 million for the
second quarter and $299 million for the half year, compared with $90 million and $203 million for the same periods in 2016.
The result for the second quarter and half year reflects an improved margin environment as well as lower costs reflecting
the continued benefit from our simplification and efficiency programmes. 
 
On 27 April, we announced our intention to divest our 50% shareholding in our Shanghai SECCO Petrochemical Company Limited
joint venture in China for a consideration of $1.7 billion. This transaction is subject to regulatory approvals. 
 
Outlook 
 
In the third quarter, we expect a similar level of industry refining margins and that North American heavy crude oil
differentials will remain under pressure. 
 
 The commentary above contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with the cautionary statement on page 35.

Financial results 
 
Replacement cost profit before interest and tax and underlying replacement cost profit before interest and tax for the
second quarter and half year was $279 million and $378 million respectively, compared with $246 million and $312 million
for the same periods in 2016. There were no non-operating items in the second quarter and half year of either year. 
 
Compared with the same periods in 2016, the result for the second quarter was primarily affected by higher oil prices and
adverse duty lag effects. For the half year, the result was primarily affected by higher oil prices, adverse foreign
exchange and adverse duty lag effects. 
 
BP's two nominees, Bob Dudley and Guillermo Quintero, were re-elected to Rosneft's board by the annual general meeting

 (a)  The operational and financial information of the Rosneft segment for the second quarter and first half of the year is based on preliminary operational and financial results of Rosneft for the six months ended 30 June 2017. Actual results may differ from   
      these amounts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
 (b)  The Rosneft segment result includes equity-accounted earnings arising from BP's 19.75% shareholding in Rosneft as adjusted 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 divestment of BP's interest in TNK-BP. These adjustments have increased the reported profit before interest and tax for the second quarter and first half 2017, as shown in the table above, compared with the equivalent amount in Russian     
      roubles that we expect Rosneft to report in its own financial statements under IFRS. BP's share of Rosneft's profit before interest and tax for each year-to-date period is calculated by translating the amounts reported in Russian roubles into US dollars   
      using the average exchange rate for the year to date. BP's share of Rosneft's earnings after finance costs, taxation and non-controlling interests, as adjusted, is included in the BP group income statement within profit before interest and taxation.

Independent review report to BP p.l.c. 
 
Introduction 
 
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report
for the six months ended 30 June 2017 which comprises the group income statement, group statement of comprehensive income,
group statement of changes in equity, group balance sheet, condensed group cash flow statement and Notes 1 to 10. We have
read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements. 
 
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review
Engagements 2410 (UK and Ireland) 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom (ISRE 2410). To the fullest extent permitted
by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this report, or for
the conclusions we have formed. 
 
Directors' responsibilities 
 
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are
responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority. 
 
As disclosed in Note 1, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and IFRS as adopted
by the European Union (EU). The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has
been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as issued by the IASB
and as adopted by the EU. 
 
Our responsibility 
 
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the
half-yearly financial report based on our review. 
 
Scope of review 
 
We conducted our review in accordance with ISRE 2410. A review of interim financial information consists of making
enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters
that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. 
 
Conclusion 
 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial
statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2017 is not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the EU and the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
