Welcome to our dedicated page for Bp Plc SEC filings (Ticker: BP), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
BP p.l.c. (BP) files as a foreign private issuer with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, using Form 20-F for annual reporting and Form 6-K for current reports. These SEC filings provide detailed insight into BP’s financial performance, capital structure, share activity, and significant corporate developments across its integrated oil and gas operations.
Recent 6-K filings illustrate the breadth of information available to investors. The third-quarter 2025 group results (filed 4 November 2025) include segment-level replacement cost profit figures, operating cash flow, capital expenditure, divestment proceeds, and commentary on refining margins, upstream production, and gas & low carbon energy performance. A 4Q25 trading statement filed on 14 January 2026 offers updated guidance on reported upstream production, expected impacts of realizations in gas & low carbon energy and oil production & operations, and anticipated adjusting items related to impairments in transition businesses.
BP’s filings also cover share capital and buybacks. Multiple 6-Ks in late 2025 detail “Total voting rights and share capital,” specifying the number of ordinary and preference shares outstanding and the volume of treasury shares. A series of exhibits titled “Share Repurchases” and “Transaction in Own Shares” document daily repurchases on the London Stock Exchange and Cboe (UK), including volumes, prices, and the intention to transfer repurchased shares into treasury. These disclosures allow investors to track BP’s execution of its share buyback programmes and changes in voting rights.
Other filings address debt and listing status. A Form 25 (25-NSE) dated 18 December 2025, filed by the New York Stock Exchange, relates to the removal from listing and/or registration of specific BP-guaranteed notes due 2026. This Form 25 identifies the securities as guaranteed notes and does not concern BP’s ordinary shares or American Depositary Shares.
Strategic transactions and governance changes also appear in 6-K exhibits. The 24 December 2025 filing includes a press release on BP’s agreement to sell a 65% shareholding in Castrol to Stonepeak, explaining expected net proceeds, planned use of proceeds to reduce net debt, and the structure of the new joint venture. A 17 December 2025 6-K announces a leadership transition, naming Meg O’Neill as BP’s next CEO and outlining interim arrangements and advisory roles.

In customers & products, BP expects stronger realized refining margins, adding about $0.1–0.2 billion, and an exceptional oil trading result versus a weak prior quarter. The group underlying effective tax rate is expected to be around 35%, reflecting stronger products results.
Capital expenditure is expected to be broadly flat with prior quarter organic capex of $3.5 billion, while net debt is projected to rise to $25–27 billion from $22.2 billion, mainly due to a working capital build of $4–7 billion driven by the price environment.

BP has agreed to sell its Gelsenkirchen refinery and related businesses to Klesch Group, further simplifying its portfolio and reshaping its refining footprint. The refinery processes about 12 million tonnes of crude per year and employs roughly 1,800 people, who are expected to transfer to the new owner.
The deal enables bp to remove associated liabilities and is described as strengthening the balance sheet and being free cash flow accretive based on historical performance. BP has raised its 2027 structural cost reduction target to $6.5 to $7.5 billion, including around $1 billion of underlying operating expenditure savings linked to Gelsenkirchen, equivalent to about 30 percent of its 2023 cost baseline. Completion is targeted for the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory and governmental approvals and customary closing adjustments.

BP reports 2025 results that mix weaker headline profit with strong cash generation and operational records. Profit attributable to shareholders was $0.1bn, while underlying replacement cost profit reached $7.5bn amid lower oil prices and a softer margin environment.
Operating cash flow was $24.5bn, supporting dividends of $5.1bn and share buybacks of $2.25bn, though buybacks have now been suspended so excess cash can reduce net debt, which ended 2025 at $22.2bn. Upstream production averaged 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day with a 90% proved reserve replacement ratio.
Operationally, BP delivered record upstream plant reliability of 96.1% and refining availability of 96.3%, while cutting combined tier 1 and 2 process safety events to 27. The group advanced a reset strategy focused on growing upstream, high-grading downstream, disciplined transition investment, a larger structural cost reduction target of $5.5-6.5bn by end 2027, and a net debt goal of $14-18bn.
