Introduction

 

BP p.l.c. has prepared the following consolidated report ('the report') on
payments to governments in accordance with the Reports on Payments to
Governments Regulations 2014 (2014/3209), as amended by the Reports on
Payments to Governments (Amendment) Regulations 2015 (2015/1928), (the
'Regulations'). The Report also addresses BP p.l.c.'s reporting obligations
under DTR 4.3A of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules. The 'Basis of preparation' section below contains
information about the content of the Report, the types of payments included
and the principles that have been applied in preparing the Report.

 

bp's socioeconomic contribution

bp makes a broader socioeconomic contribution to countries in which we
operate, in addition to the payments that are required to be reported under
the Regulations. We make payments to governments in connection with parts of
our business other than extractive activities - for example in relation to the
transportation, trading, manufacture and marketing of oil and gas. As well as
government payments, bp contributes to the economies of the countries in which
we operate by providing jobs for employees and contractors, purchasing
materials from local suppliers and undertaking social investment activities.
See Other resources on page 22 for more information on our socioeconomic
contribution and our position on tax and financial transparency.

 

bp's position on revenue transparency

bp supports transparency in the flow of revenue from oil and gas activities to
governments. This helps citizens hold public authorities to account for the
way they use funds received through taxes and other agreements.

 

Basis of preparation

Under the Regulations, the directors of BP p.l.c. are required to prepare a
consolidated report on payments made to governments for each financial year in
relation to relevant activities of both BP p.l.c. and any of its subsidiary
undertakings included in the consolidated group accounts. The term 'bp' is
used interchangeably within this report to indicate BP p.l.c. or any
subsidiary undertaking within the scope of the report.

 

Activities within the scope of the report

Payments made to governments that relate to bp's activities involving the
exploration, prospection, discovery, development, and extraction of minerals,
oil, natural gas deposits or other materials ('extractive activities') are
included in this report.

 

Payments made to governments that relate to trading, export (pipelines),
refining and processing, renewables projects and other activities that are not
within the scope of extractive activities as defined by the Regulations are
not included in this report.

 

Where a payment relates to activities that are reportable under the
Regulations as well as to activities which are not reportable, bp reports the
payment in its entirety if it is not possible to disaggregate it.

 

Government

Under the Regulations, a 'government' is defined as any national, regional or
local authority of a country, and includes a department, agency or undertaking
that is a subsidiary undertaking controlled by such an authority. In some
countries, certain local indigenous organizations fall within this definition
of government. Where this is the case, payments made to such organizations
have been included in this report. Where a state-owned enterprise undertakes
activities outside of its home jurisdiction, then it is not considered to be a
government.

 

Cash basis

Payments are reported on a cash basis, meaning that they are reported in the
period in which they are paid, as opposed to being reported on an accruals
basis (which would mean that they were reported in the period for which the
liabilities arise). Refunds are also reported in the period they are received
by bp and are shown as negative amounts in the report. Where payments in kind
are made to a government, they are valued, and footnotes are included to help
explain the valuation method and any related volumes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reporting principles

The Regulations require payments to be reported where they are made to
governments by BP p.l.c. and its subsidiary undertakings in respect of
extractive activities. In preparing a report, the Regulations also require the
disclosure of payments to reflect the substance of each payment and the
relevant activity or project concerned. In light of these requirements, bp has
assessed its reporting obligations to be as follows:

•     Where bp has made a payment to a government, such payment is
reported in full, whether made in bp's sole capacity or in bp's capacity as
the operator of a joint venture. Payments made to governments in connection
with joint ventures are included in the report if, and to the extent that, bp
makes the relevant payment. Typically, such circumstances will arise where bp
is the operator of the joint venture. Payments made by an incorporated joint
venture which is not a subsidiary of bp are not included within this report.

•     In some instances, bp is a partner in unincorporated joint
ventures where the role of operator is performed through a non-typical
operatorship model, whereby multiple entities contribute to an unincorporated
body which has the role of operator. In relation to such joint ventures,
payments made by bp to the government are reported and payments for which bp
has direct responsibility to the government, but which are paid on its behalf,
are also reported.

•     bp's equity-accounted investments for the financial year ended 31
December 2024, such as Pan American Energy Group and Aker bp, are not bp
subsidiaries and therefore in accordance with the Regulations, payments made
by such entities are not included in this report.

 

Project definition

The Regulations require payments to be reported by project (as a subcategory
within a country). They define a 'project' as the operational activities which
are governed by a single contract, licence, lease, concession or similar legal
agreement, and form the basis for payment liabilities with a government. If
these agreements are substantially interconnected, then they can be treated as
a single project. Under the Regulations, 'substantially interconnected' means
forming a set of operationally and geographically integrated contracts,
licences, leases or concessions or related agreements with substantially
similar terms that are signed with a government, giving rise to payment
liabilities. These agreements may themselves be governed by a single contract,
joint venture, production-sharing agreement, or other overarching legal
agreement. Factors used to determine whether contracts or licences are
operationally and geographically integrated may include their common
management framework, proximity and use of common infrastructure. The number
of projects will depend on the contractual arrangements within a country and
not necessarily on the scale of activities. A project will only appear in this
report where relevant payments occurred during the year in relation to that
project.

 

The Regulations acknowledge that for some payments it may not be possible to
attribute a payment to a single project and therefore such payments may be
reported at the country level. For example, corporate income taxes, which are
typically not levied at a project level.

 

Materiality threshold

The Regulations require that payments made as a single payment exceeding
£86,000 or as part of a series of related payments within a financial year
exceeding £86,000 be included in this report.

 

Reporting currency

All payments have been reported in US dollars. Payments made in currencies
other than US dollars are typically translated at the exchange rate at the
date of payment.

 

Payment types

The Regulations define a 'payment' as an amount paid whether in money or in
kind, for relevant activities where the payment type is one of the following:

 

•    Production entitlements

Under production sharing agreements (PSAs), the production is shared between
the host government and the other parties to the PSA. The host government
typically receives its share or entitlement in kind rather than being paid in
cash. In this report such production entitlement volumes to the government are
reported on a lifting basis, i.e. when the government takes possession of its
share of production. A market value is applied, usually using the valuation
method from the relevant PSA. For joint ventures in which bp is the operator,
government production entitlements are reported in their entirety, in
accordance with the notes above. Where the national oil company (NOC) is also
a partner in the joint venture, their production entitlement is reported in
addition to the government share of production. The NOC's entitlement as a
partner will include both their share of production as investor's return as
well as their entitlement for the reimbursement of their costs.

 

•    Taxes

This report includes taxes levied on income, production or profits and taxes
withheld from dividends, royalties and interest received by bp. In addition,
taxes paid on behalf of bp by the NOC out of production entitlements are
reported. Taxes levied on consumption, personnel, sales and procurement
(contractor's withholding taxes), property and environmental taxes, and
customs and excise are not reportable under the Regulations.

 

•    Royalties

These may be paid in cash or in kind (valued in the same way as production
entitlements).

 

•    Fees

In preparing this report, bp has included licence fees, rental fees, entry
fees and all other payments that are paid in consideration for new and
existing licences and/or concessions. Fees paid to governments for
administrative services are excluded.

 

•    Bonuses

Signature, discovery and production bonuses and other bonuses payable under
licences or concession agreements are included in the report.

 

•     Infrastructure improvements

Such payments include a road, or a building provided by bp that forms part of
the fundamental facilities and systems serving a community or area. These
payments are included in the report whether or not bp is contractually obliged
to fund them and are reported when the relevant assets are handed over to the
government or the local community.

 

•    Dividends

These are dividends that are paid in lieu of production entitlements or
royalties. Dividends paid by bp to a government as an ordinary shareholder are
excluded. For the year ended 31 December 2024, there were no reportable
dividend payments to a government.

 

•    Other considerations

The payments shown in this report are rounded to the nearest $0.1 million. Due
to rounding, some totals in the following tables may not agree exactly with
the sum of their component parts. Amounts are shown to the nearest dollar in
the data submitted and are available on the UK Companies House website
(https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-house) .

 

 

 

Payments overview

 

The table below shows the relevant payments to governments made by bp in the
year ended 31 December 2024, by country and payment type.

 

Of the seven payment types required by the Regulations, bp did not pay any
relevant dividends and therefore the category is not shown.
