bp publishes Annual Report

Financial reporting segment performance
London, March 06, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) ––The profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 attributable to bp shareholders was $0.4 billion, compared with $15.2 billion in 2023. Adjusting for inventory holding losses, RC profit was $0.8 billion, compared with $16.2 billion in 2023. After adjusting RC profit for a net adverse impact of items, which bp has classified as adjusting (adjusting items) of $8.2 billion (on a post-tax basis), underlying RC profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 was $8.9 billion. The result reflected lower refining margins, lower realizations, a lower gas marketing and trading result and a lower oil trading contribution, partly offset by lower taxation.

At 31 December 2024, the group’s reportable segments were gas & low carbon energy, oil production & operations and customers & products. Each is managed separately, with decisions taken for the segment as a whole, and represents a single operating segment that does not result from aggregating two or more segments. Gas & low carbon energy Comprises our gas & low carbon energy businesses. Our gas business includes regions with upstream activities that predominantly produce natural gas, integrated gas and power, and gas trading. Our low carbon business includes solar, offshore and onshore wind, hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS), and power trading. Power trading includes trading of both renewable and non-renewable power.
