3Q 2025 guidance

 • Looking ahead, bp expects third quarter 2025 reported upstream* production to be slightly lower compared with the second quarter 2025. 

• In its customers business, bp expects seasonally higher volumes compared to the second quarter and fuels margins to remain sensitive to movements in the cost of supply.

 • In products, bp expects, compared to the second quarter, a significantly lower level of planned refinery turnaround activity, partly offset by seasonal effects of environmental compliance costs. 

• bp expects income taxes paid in the third quarter to be around $1 billion higher than the second quarter 2025 mainly due to the timing of instalment payments, which are typically higher in the third quarter each year. 

• On 4 August bp elected to redeem $1.2 billion of its perpetual hybrid bonds, representing the remaining amount callable from June 2025. The hybrid bonds will be redeemed on 1 September 2025 using proceeds from bp's November 2024 hybrid bond issuance.
