In the gas and low carbon energy segment, BP projects realizations to have a roughly $(100) million negative impact versus the prior quarter, on shifts in non–Henry Hub natural gas prices.

Meanwhile, the company expects the gas marketing and trading result to be average.

In the oil production and operations segment, the company anticipates realizations to remain largely flat due to price lags resulting from production in the Gulf of America and the UAE.

Exploration write-offs are projected to be about $(100) million higher than the previous quarter.

In the customers and products segment, BP expects the customers segment results to reflect seasonally higher volumes with stable fuel margins.

Refining margins in the Products segment are anticipated to be within $300–$400 million, supported by lower turnaround activity.

The company expects the oil trading results to be weak in the quarter.

Net debt is projected to remain broadly flat from the previous quarter at about $26 billion.

This reflects the planned redemption of $1.2 billion in hybrid bonds on September 1, increased income tax payments of roughly $1 billion, and a working capital release.

Brent crude averaged $69.13 per barrel in the quarter, up from $67.88 in the second quarter. Henry Hub gas prices declined to $3.07/mmBtu.
