aCrude distillation capacity is gross rated capacity, which is defined as the maximum achievable utilization of capacity (24-hour assessment) based on standard feed.
bBP share of equity, which is not necessarily the same as BP share of processing entitlements.
cBP has announced the sale of its Coryton refinery, subject to required regulatory approvals.
dBP’s share of the Reichstett refinery in Germany was sold in December 2006.
The following table outlines by region the volume of crude oil and feedstock processed by BP for its own account and for third parties. Corresponding
BP refinery capacity utilization data is summarized.

aRefinery throughputs reflect crude and other feedstock volumes.
bCrude distillation capacity is gross rated capacity, which is defined as the maximum achievable utilization of capacity (24-hour assessment) based on standard feed.
cCrude distillation capacity utilization is defined as the percentage utilization of capacity per calendar day over the year after making allowances for average annual shutdowns
at BP refineries (i.e. net rated capacity).
BP’s 2006 refinery throughput declined as a result of increased turnaround activity during the year. In the US, the year-on-year decline was as a result
of the full shutdown of the Texas City refinery in September 2005 and the subsequent maintenance programme that led to a partial and phased start-up
during 2006.
