aProduction excludes royalties due to others, whether payable in cash or in kind, where the royalty owner has a direct interest in the underlying production and the option and ability to make lifting and
sales arrangements independently.
bBecause of rounding, some totals may not exactly agree with the sum of their component parts.
cAmounts reported for Russia include BP’s share of Rosneft worldwide activities, including insignificant amounts outside Russia.
dCrude oil includes condensate.
eNatural gas production excludes gas consumed in operations.
Productive oil and gas wells and acreage
The following tables show the number of gross and net productive oil and natural gas wells and total gross and net developed and undeveloped oil and
natural gas acreage in which the group and its equity-accounted entities had interests as at 31 December 2015. A ‘gross’ well or acre is one in which a
whole or fractional working interest is owned, while the number of ‘net’ wells or acres is the sum of the whole or fractional working interests in gross
wells or acres. Productive wells are producing wells and wells capable of production. Developed acreage is the acreage within the boundary of a field,
on which development wells have been drilled, which could produce the reserves; while undeveloped acres are those on which wells have not been
drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities, whether or not such acres contain proved reserves.

aBased on information received from Rosneft as at 31 December 2015.
bBecause of rounding some totals may not exactly agree with the sum of their component parts.
cIncludes approximately 7,944 gross (1,582 net) multiple completion wells (more than one formation producing into the same well bore).
dIncludes approximately 3,232 gross (1,534 net) multiple completion wells. If one of the multiple completions in a well is an oil completion, the well is classified as an oil well.
eUndeveloped acreage includes leases and concessions.
