Financial Instruments [Abstract]  
Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments
In the ordinary course of business the group enters into derivative financial instruments (derivatives) to manage its normal business exposures in relation
to commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, including management of the balance between floating rate and fixed rate debt,
consistent with its risk management policies and objectives. An outline of the group’s financial risks and the objectives and policies pursued in relation to
those risks is set out in Note 29. Additionally, the group has a well-established entrepreneurial trading operation that is undertaken in conjunction with
these activities using a similar range of contracts.
For information on significant estimates and judgements made in relation to the valuation of derivatives see Derivative financial instruments within Note 1.
The fair values of derivative financial instruments at 31 December are set out below.
Exchange traded derivatives are valued using closing prices provided by the exchange as at the balance sheet date. These derivatives are categorized
within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Exchange traded derivatives are typically considered settled through the (normally daily) payment or receipt of
variation margin.
Over-the-counter (OTC) financial swaps, forwards and physical commodity sale and purchase contracts are generally valued using readily available
information in the public markets and quotations provided by brokers and price index developers. These quotes are corroborated with market data and are
categorized within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
In certain less liquid markets, or for longer-term contracts, forward prices are not as readily available. In these circumstances, OTC financial swaps and
physical commodity sale and purchase contracts are valued using internally developed methodologies that consider historical relationships between
various commodities, and that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. These contracts are categorized within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
30. Derivative financial instruments – continued
Financial OTC and physical commodity options are valued using industry standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward
prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic factors. The
degree to which these inputs are observable in the forward markets determines whether the option is categorized within level 2 or level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy.

Derivatives held for trading
The group maintains active trading positions in a variety of derivatives. The contracts may be entered into for risk management purposes, to satisfy supply
requirements or for entrepreneurial trading. Certain contracts are classified as held for trading, regardless of their original business objective, and are
recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement. Trading activities are undertaken by using a range of contract types
in combination to create incremental gains by arbitraging prices between markets, locations and time periods. The net of these exposures is monitored
using market value-at-risk techniques as described in Note 29.
The following tables show further information on the fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments held for trading purposes.
Derivative assets held for trading have the following fair values and maturities.

The amount recognized in the income statement for the year relating to level 3 held-for-trading derivatives still held at 31 December 2024 was a $193
million loss (2023 $631 million gain related to derivatives still held at 31 December 2023).
Derivative gains and losses
The group enters into derivative contracts including futures, options, swaps and certain forward sales and forward purchases contracts, relating to both
currency and commodity trading activities. Gains or losses arise on contracts entered into for risk management purposes, optimization activity and
entrepreneurial trading. They also arise on certain contracts that are for normal procurement or sales activity for the group but that are required to be fair
valued under accounting standards. These gains and losses are included within sales and other operating revenues in the income statement. Also included
within this line item are gains and losses on inventory held for trading purposes. The total amount relating to all these items was a net gain of $9,726
million (2023 $19,786 million net gain). This number does not include gains and losses on the change in value of contracts which are not recognized under
IFRS such as transportation and storage contracts, but does include the associated financially settled contracts. The net amounts for actual gains and
losses relating to these derivative contracts and all related items therefore differ significantly from the amounts disclosed above.
As outlined in Note 1 - Significant estimate and judgement: derivative financial instruments, LNG contracts are only recognised in the financial statements
when associated cargoes are lifted. The embedded value in these contracts is not recognised and is subject to underlying commodity price volatility. bp
generally price risk manages the exposure to LNG cargoes due for delivery in the near term where there is a liquid market. It does so on a portfolio basis
using derivative instruments amongst other price risk management strategies. Under IFRS, these derivative instruments, which are subject to similar price
volatility, are recorded at fair value through profit and loss at each reporting period, which creates an accounting mismatch in the financial statements
between the accounting for LNG contracts and the derivatives used for risk management. For the year ended 31 December 2024, there were no material
gains or losses recorded on the associated derivative positions. For the year ended 31 December 2023, there were material gains recognized on the
associated derivative positions due to the movement in the underlying commodity prices. . For additional information, details of management’s internal
measure of performance are given in the Group Performance Report on page 24 and on page 314.
The group also enters into derivative contracts relating to foreign currency risk management activities including contracts that the group has entered into
to manage the foreign currency exposure relating to the non-US dollar hybrid bonds to their respective first call periods. The change in the unrealized value
of these contracts was a net loss of $404 million (2023 $632 million net gain and 2022 $1,280 million net loss). Where the derivative is economically
hedging finance debt, gains and losses on such derivative contracts are included within finance costs. Where the derivative is managing non-US hybrid
bond exposure gains and loss are included within production and manufacturing expenses. Where these gains and losses arise on derivatives hedging
finance debt they are largely offset by opposing net foreign exchange differences on retranslation of the associated non-US dollar debt. The net amounts
for actual gains and losses relating to these derivative contracts and all related items therefore differ significantly from the amounts disclosed above.
Cash flow hedges
(i) Foreign currency risk of highly probable forecast capital expenditure
At 31 December 2024, the group held currency forwards designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedge relationships of highly probable forecast
non-US dollar capital expenditure. Note 29 outlines the group’s approach to foreign currency exchange risk management. When the highly probable
forecast capital expenditure designated as a hedged item occurs, a non-financial asset is recognized and is presented within the fixed asset section of the
balance sheet.
The group claims hedge accounting only for the spot value of the currency exposure in line with the strategy to fix the volatility in the spot exchange rate
element. The fair value on the instrument attributable to forward points and foreign currency basis spreads is taken immediately to the income statement.
30. Derivative financial instruments – continued
The group applies hedge accounting where there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument. The existence of an
economic relationship is determined at inception and prospectively by comparing the critical terms of the hedging instrument and those of the hedged
item. The group enters into hedging derivatives that match the currency and notional of the hedged items on a 1:1 hedge ratio basis. The hedge ratio is
determined by comparing the notional amount of the derivative with the notional designated on the forecast transaction. The group determines the extent
to which it hedges highly probable forecast capital expenditures on a project by project basis.
The group has identified the following sources of ineffectiveness, which are not expected to be material:
counterparty's credit risk, the group mitigates counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative transactions with high credit quality counterparties; and
differences in settlement timing between the derivative and hedged items. The latter impacts the discount factor used in the calculation of the hedge
ineffectiveness. The group mitigates differences in timing between the derivatives and hedged items by applying a rolling strategy and by hedging
currency pairs from stable economies. The group's cash flow hedge designations are highly effective as the sources of ineffectiveness identified are
expected to result in minimal hedge ineffectiveness.
The group has not designated any net positions as hedged items in cash flow hedges of foreign currency risk.
(ii) Commodity price risk of highly probable forecast sales
During the period the group held Henry Hub NYMEX futures designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedge relationships of certain highly probable
forecast future sales. Henry Hub NYMEX futures are subject to daily settlement, where their fair value at the end of each day is required to be cash settled,
such that the carrying amount of these hedging instruments within continuing hedge relationships is always zero at the end of each day.
The group is exposed to the variability in the gas price, but only applied hedge accounting to the risk of Henry Hub price movements for a percentage of
future gas sales from its BPX Energy business.
The group applied hedge accounting in relation to these highly probable future sales where there was an economic relationship between the hedged item
and hedging instrument. The existence of an economic relationship was determined at inception and prospectively by comparing the critical terms of the
hedging instrument and those of the hedged item. The group entered into hedging derivatives that matched the notional amounts of the hedged items on a
1:1 hedge ratio basis. The hedge ratio was determined by comparing the notional amount of the derivative with the notional amount designated on the
forecast transaction.
The hedge was highly effective due to the price index of the hedging instruments matching the price index of the hedged item. The group did not designate
any net positions as hedged items in cash flow hedges of commodity price risk.
The tables below summarize the change in the fair value of hedging instruments and the hedged item used to calculate ineffectiveness in the period.

Fair value hedges
At 31 December 2024, the group held interest rate and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts as fair value hedges of the interest rate risk and foreign
currency risk arising from group fixed rate debt issuances. Note 29 outlines the group’s approach to interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk
management. The interest rate swaps are used to convert US dollar denominated fixed rate borrowings into floating rate debt. The cross-currency interest
rate swaps are used to convert sterling, euro, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Swiss franc, Canadian dollar and Norwegian krone denominated fixed rate
borrowings into US dollar floating rate debt. The group manages all risks derived from debt issuance, such as credit risk, however, the group applies hedge
accounting only to certain components of interest rate and foreign currency risk in order to minimize hedge ineffectiveness. The interest rate and foreign
currency exposures are identified and hedged on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
For interest rate exposures, the group designates as a fair value hedge the benchmark interest rate component only. This is an observable and reliably
measurable component of interest rate risk. For foreign currency exposures, the group excludes from the designation the foreign currency basis spread
component implicit in the cross-currency interest rate swaps. This is separately calculated at hedge designation, is recognized in other comprehensive
income over the life of the hedge and amortized to the income statement on a straight-line basis, in accordance with the group’s policy on costs of
hedging.
30. Derivative financial instruments – continued
The group applies hedge accounting where there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument. The existence of an
economic relationship is determined initially by comparing the critical terms of the hedging instrument and those of the hedged item and it is prospectively
assessed using linear regression analysis. The group issues fixed rate debt and enters into interest rate and cross-currency interest rate swaps with critical
terms that match those of the debt and on a 1:1 hedge ratio basis. The hedge ratio is determined by comparing the notional amount of the derivative with
the notional amount of the debt. The hedge relationship is designated for the full term and notional value of the debt. Both the hedging instrument and the
hedged item are expected to be held to maturity.
The group has identified the following sources of ineffectiveness, which are not expected to be material:
derivative counterparty’s credit risk which is not offset by the hedged item. This risk is mitigated by entering into derivative transactions only with high
credit quality counterparties; and
sensitivity to interest rate between the hedged item and the derivatives. This is driven by differences in payment frequencies between the instrument
and the bond.
The tables below summarize the change in the fair value of hedging instruments and the hedged item used to calculate ineffectiveness in the period. The
signage convention for changes in fair value presented in this table is consistent with that presented in Note 27.
