Our medium-term outlook 1

A new price environment

The environment reinforces the need for a business model

that can withstand a longer period of lower oil prices

In late-2014 we moved decisively to reset BP for what we expected could be a sustained period of low oil prices. Since then, the forward price strip for Brent oil has progressively moved towards a flatter trend, out towards the end of the decade. At BP, we not only believe we have the right business model to withstand a longer period of lower oil prices, but are also well positioned in our industry to take advantage of the opportunity this new environment brings.

Relentless focus on safety and reliability

Above all, good business starts will a relentless focus on safe and reliable operations. This is a job that is never complete but we are delivering an

increasingly safe, reliable and efficient set of assets. We believe that safety and reliability go hand-in-hand with efficiency and financial performance – improve one and you improve the other. As we continue to transform our business in the current environment, we expect to drive greater efficiency into how we operate, while keeping that relentless focus on safety.

A balanced portfolio

Since 2010, we have divested almost $75 billion of assets, including our interest in TNK-BP. We now have a stronger, refocused, rebalanced portfolio. It is

balanced between different geographies, different resource types, different parts of the value chain and different life cycles. Getting this balance right provides resilience and longevity.

Resilience in the current environment also comes from being an integrated business, with global Upstream and Downstream operations and well established trading capability.

Looking forward, our Upstream major project portfolio includes well defined sources of future production growth. Over half our production from new major projects out to 2020 is already under construction and we have a deep portfolio of over 50 options to move through to project sanction.

In the Downstream, we now have a very focused portfolio of manufacturing assets with strong competitive advantages and marketing businesses that are

Our medium-term outlook

Value over volume

Whilst we are confident in the balance and make-up of our portfolio as we see it today, we still keep it constantly under review, actively managing it for value over volume. We will look to divest assets that no longer fit with our strategy and deepen our involvement in assets which add the most value. More broadly, this process includes looking at looking at innovative ways to work our portfolio harder, as we have done in the US Lower 48.

Capital and cost discipline

We drive returns through disciplined investment into the best projects. This means getting the right balance of capital between our business segments and pacing our investment in each business to capture the greatest value through the cycle. Right now in the Upstream this means managing the timing of

investments, looking in particular to ensure we are capturing the maximum benefits of industry deflation, while at the same time preserving our future growth objectives. Meanwhile, we are rapidly making significant structural changes to our cost base. And we are adding in organisational controls to ensure these are sustainable for the future.

Growing sustainable free cash flow in the long term

This all works towards the most important of our enduring principles – that of growing sustainable free cash flow and shareholder distributions for the long term. We have set out a medium-term financial frame to 2017, which underpins our commitment to sustaining our dividend while we rebalance sources and uses of cash in the current environment.

Resetting cash costs

We continue to make strong progress on right-sizing the Group’s cash cost base for our smaller footprint since the Deepwater Horizon accident while seeing the benefit of investments we made in improving asset integrity. The actions we continue to take are wide-ranging across both Upstream and Downstream and we remain very focused on further simplification within our functional and corporate activities. We expect total controllable Group cash costs to reduce by over $6 billion by 2017, compared to 2014, with nearly half of this already captured. This rapid progress in part builds on initiatives started in 2013 and where we now benefit from having made a head-start. Non-operating restructuring charges are now expected to approach $2.5 billion in total by the end of 2016.

Organic free cash flow growth

By 2017 we expect to be working off a reset and structurally more efficient platform, both Upstream and Downstream, with sources and uses of cash for the Group balancing organically at oil prices of around $60 per barrel. In this environment, and based on our planning assumptions, we would expect free cash flow for the Group to grow from 2018, restoring our capacity to grow distributions. Any recovery in the price environment would offer further upside as illustrated on the chart. Equally, in the event that oil prices are below this level, more deflationary correction will be required than currently built into our plans.

Divestments

Having announced almost $75 billion of divestments since 2010 – including the sale of our interest in TNK-BP – we are approaching completion of our $10 billion divestment programme around the end of 2015. Looking ahead, we see divestments of around $3-5 billion in 2016 and $2-3 billion thereafter.

Gearing

We will continue to manage gearing with some flexibility around the 20% level. This compares to the 10-20% target band we established in 2010 to allow greater flexibility for

uncertainties, of which the Deepwater Horizon was the most significant.

Capital Discipline

We now expect organic capital expenditure to be the range of $17-19 billion through to 2017. As we lock in deflation over the next few years, this structurally lower capital frame still supports a level of activity we consider optimal to grow value for shareholders.
