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.

BP’s 2Q25 results show a sharp sequential rebound but mixed year-on-year trends. Underlying replacement-cost (RC) profit rose to $2.4 bn from $1.4 bn in 1Q25, aided by stronger refining margins, a solid oil trading contribution and normalized tax rate (36% vs 50%). Reported profit was $1.6 bn. Operating cash flow recovered to $6.3 bn (incl. $1.1 bn Gulf settlement) and net debt fell q/q to $26.0 bn, yet remains $3.4 bn higher than a year ago.
BP lifted the quarterly dividend 4% to 8.32 c and announced a $750 m buyback, targeting 30-40% of operating cash flow for shareholder returns. Reliability stayed high (refining 96.4%, upstream 96.8%). Five major upstream projects and 10 discoveries have been delivered YTD; divestment proceeds now total ~$3 bn toward the $3-4 bn 2025 goal. Structural cost cuts reach $1.7 bn against the 2023 base.
Guidance & capital frame. 3Q upstream output is expected to slip modestly; taxes paid will be ~$1 bn higher. 2025 capex is still guided at ~$14.5 bn within a $13-15 bn 2026-27 frame, and management reiterates the ambition to shrink net debt to $14-18 bn by end-2027. A new Refining Indicator Margin (RIM) replaces the former RMM, with a $1/bbl move estimated to shift annual underlying RC EBIT by ~$550 m.
BP has reported a material oil & gas discovery at the 100%-owned Bumerangue exploration well in Brazil’s Santos Basin. Drilled to 5,855 m in 2,372 m water depth, the 1-BP-13-SPS well penetrated an estimated 500 m gross hydrocarbon column in high-quality pre-salt carbonates spanning >300 km², making it BP’s biggest find in 25 years and its tenth discovery in 2025. The block was secured in Dec-22 on attractive PSC terms (80 % cost oil; 5.9 % profit oil).
Rig-site data indicate elevated CO₂; laboratory analysis and an appraisal program will follow, subject to regulatory approval. The discovery underpins BP’s plan to lift upstream output to 2.3-2.5 MMboe/d by 2030 and explore a potential Brazilian production hub, though commerciality, fluid quality and development costs remain to be tested.
BP’s Form 6-K discloses intensive buy-back activity and a governance update for July 2025.
Across 26 daily transactions from 1–31 July, BP repurchased about 92.9 million ordinary shares under the buy-back programme approved at the 2025 AGM. Daily volumes ranged from 1.65 m to 4.5 m shares with volume-weighted prices between 365.8 p and 410.4 p. All shares will be held in Treasury. Small management dealings were also reported: CFO Kate Thomson acquired 5,795 shares via DRIP/ShareMatch and the CEO’s PCA purchased 1,314 shares.
Under Provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, BP addresses the 24.28 % vote cast against Resolution 3 at the April AGM. Investor consultations have informed the ongoing chair-succession process, culminating in the appointment of Albert Manifold as incoming chair; further detail will appear in the 2025 Annual Report.
- The July buy-backs demonstrate continued capital-return execution and should be accretive to EPS.
- Persistent minority opposition on governance matters signals areas for board engagement despite overall shareholder support.
BP (NYSE: BP) filed a Form 6-K announcing the appointment of Albert Manifold as chair-elect, succeeding Helge Lund. Manifold will join the board 1 Sep 2025 as non-executive director and assume the chair role on 1 Oct 2025, when Lund departs the board. The notice follows a 'rigorous global search' led by senior independent director Dame Amanda Blanc.
Manifold spent a decade as CEO of building-materials giant CRH plc (2014-2024), where he strategically reshaped the portfolio and emphasised cost efficiency, disciplined capital allocation and robust cash flow generation. He currently serves as a non-executive director at LyondellBasell and Mercury Engineering and remains an adviser to CRH and Clayton Dubilier & Rice. The filing states no additional matters require disclosure under UK Listing Rule 6.4.8R and designates the release as inside information.
The succession brings an experienced operator with industrial and capital-markets credentials at a pivotal point in BP’s energy-transition strategy; however, investors will monitor the new chair for continuity of strategic direction and capital-return discipline.
