This excerpt taken from the BP 20-F filed Mar 4, 2008. Liquefied natural gas
Our LNG and new market development activities are focused on establishing international market positions to create maximum value from our upstream natural gas resources and on capturing third-party LNG supply to complement our equity flows. BP Exploration and Production has interests in a number of major existing LNG supply projects: Atlantic LNG in Trinidad & Tobago, Bontang in Indonesia and the North West Shelf (NWS) project in Australia. Additional LNG supplies are being pursued through an expansion of the existing LNG facilities at the NWS project in Australia and green-field developments in Indonesia (Tangguh) and Angola. We continue to access major growth markets for the group’s equity gas in the Pacific region. During 2007, development continued on the Tangguh LNG project (BP 37.2% and operator) from which the first commercial delivery is expected in early 2009. Tangguh will be the third LNG centre in Indonesia and has signed sales contracts for delivery to customers in China, South Korea and the west coast of Mexico. During 2007, further progress was made in securing contracts for LNG to be derived from the remaining uncontracted reserves at the NWS project. Agreements for the supply of LNG to Japan have been signed with Chugoku Electric, Kyushu Electric, Tohuku Electric and Toho Gas and for the supply of LNG to South Korea with the Korean Gas Corporation (KOGAS). The Guangdong LNG re-gasification and pipeline project in south-east China, in which BP is the only foreign partner, completed installation of its third storage tank in the third quarter of 2007, increasing its throughput to 7 million tonnes per annum. In addition to LNG supplied under a long-term contract with the NWS project, the terminal took delivery of an additional seven spot cargoes during the year, to meet rapidly growing local demand for gas. In the Atlantic and Mediterranean regions, BP is creating opportunities to supply LNG to North American and European gas markets. The fourth LNG train at Atlantic LNG in Trinidad, with a capacity of 5.2 million tonnes per annum (253,000mmcf), began operations in late 2005. These BP-marketed volumes supplement a 2005 long-term agreement with EGAS of Egypt to purchase 1.45 billion cubic metres per year of LNG from the Spanish Egyptian Gas Company (SEGAS) plant at Damietta, and a short-term contract to purchase LNG from Oman and periodic spot purchases of LNG. BP is marketing its LNG entitlement directly, utilizing BP-controlled LNG shipping and contractual rights to access import terminal capacity in the liquid markets of the US (via Cove Point and Elba Island) and the UK (via the Isle of Grain). In Spain, environmental permits have been issued to allow an expansion of the Bilbao re-gasification terminal in which BP has a 25% equity stake. In Nigeria, discussions are ongoing following the 2006 signing of a memorandum of understanding for the purchase of LNG from Brass
River LNG. A final investment decision is expected in 2008 and could lead to
first LNG in 2012.

Liquefied natural gas Our LNG and new market development activities are focused on establishing international market positions to create maximum value from our upstream natural gas resources and on capturing third-party LNG supply to complement our equity flows. BP Exploration and Production has interests in major existing LNG projects in Trinidad, ADGAS in Abu Dhabi, Bontang in Indonesia and the North West Shelf in Australia. Additional LNG supplies are being pursued through an expansion of the existing LNG facilities at the North West Shelf project in Australia and greenfield developments in Indonesia (Tangguh) and Angola. BP has no proved reserves associated with its interests in LNG projects in Abu Dhabi and Angola. We continue to access major growth markets for the group’s equity gas. In Asia Pacific, agreements for the supply of LNG from the Tangguh project (BP 37.2%) have been signed with POSCO and K-Power for supply to South Korea and with Sempra for supply to the Mexican and US markets. Together with an earlier agreement to supply LNG to China, these agreements mean that markets for more than 7 million tonnes a year (380bcf) of Tangguh LNG have been secured. In March 2005, Tangguh received key government approvals for the two-train launch and the project consortium is now executing the major construction contracts, with start-up planned in late 2008. During 2006, further progress was made in securing contracts for LNG to be derived from the remaining uncontracted reserves at the North West Shelf project. In the Atlantic and Mediterranean regions, significant progress has also been made in creating opportunities to supply LNG to North American and European gas markets. The fourth LNG train at Atlantic LNG in Trinidad, with a capacity of 5.2 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) (253bcf), began operations in late 2005. BP is marketing its LNG entitlement directly, utilizing BP-controlled LNG shipping and contractual rights to access import terminal capacity in the liquid markets of the US (Cove Point and Elba Island) and the UK (Isle of Grain). These BP-marketed volumes supplement a 2005 long-term agreement with Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) of Egypt to purchase 1.45 billion cubic metres per year of LNG from the Spanish Egyptian Gas Company (SEGAS) plant at Damietta, short-term contracts to purchase LNG from Oman and Qatar and periodic ‘spot’ purchases of LNG. We have signed a memorandum of understanding with Brass River LNG in Nigeria to purchase around 2 million tonnes a year of LNG, starting in 2010 for 20 years, which will be supplied to multiple markets in the Atlantic basin.
In south-east China, the Dapeng LNG import and regasification terminal and Trunkline Project (BP 30%) in Guangdong province received its first commissioning cargo during May 2006 and
commenced commercial operations in September. LNG for the terminal is supplied under a long-term contract signed with Australia LNG in October 2002 that involves deliveries from the North West Shelf project (BP 16.7% infrastructure and oil
reserves/15.8% gas and condensate reserves). This excerpt taken from the BP 20-F filed Jun 13, 2006. Liquefied Natural Gas Within BP, Exploration and Production is responsible for the supply of LNG and the Gas, Power and Renewables business is responsible for the subsequent marketing and distribution of LNG (see details under Gas, Power and Renewables — New Market Development and LNG in this Item on page 67). BP Exploration and Production has interests in four major LNG plants. The Atlantic LNG plant in Trinidad (BP 34% in Train 1, 42% in Trains 2 and 3, and 37.8% in Train 4); in Indonesia through our interests in Sanga-Sanga PSA, (BP 38%), which supplies natural gas to the Bontang LNG plant, and Tangguh (PSA, BP 37%), which is under construction; and in Australia through our share of LNG from the North West Shelf natural gas development (BP 16.7%). 42 Significant activity during 2004 included the following:
43 Our Refining and Marketing business is responsible for the supply and trading, refining, marketing and transportation of crude oil and petroleum products to wholesale and retail customers. BP markets its products in over 100 countries. We operate primarily in Europe and North America, but also market our products across Australasia and in parts of Southeast Asia, Africa and Central and South America.
There are four areas of business in Refining and Marketing: Refining, Retail, Lubricants and Business to Business Marketing. Our strategy is to continue our focused investment in key assets and market positions. In all areas, we aim for greater operational efficiency, and at the same time we seek to improve our asset portfolio. The acquisition of Veba's marketing and refining operations in 2002 provided an important addition to our operations, particularly in Germany. Refining and Marketing manages a portfolio of assets that we believe are competitively advantaged across the chain of downstream activities. Such advantage may derive from several factors, including location, operating cost and physical asset quality. We are one of the major refiners of gasoline and hydrocarbon products in the USA, Europe and Australia. We have significant retail and business to business market positions in the USA, UK, Germany and the rest of Europe, Australasia, Africa and Southeast Asia and we are enhancing our presence in China and Mexico. During the course of 2004, BP disposed of its one-third share of the Singapore Refining Company Private Limited, with one sixth being sold to each of Caltex Singapore Private Limited and Singapore Petroleum Company Limited. The sale was completed in June. The refinery had total crude distillation capacity of 248,000 barrels per day. BP also terminated refining operations at the ATAS Refinery in Mersin, south eastern Turkey. The site had a crude distillation capacity of 100,000 barrels per day and will continue to operate as a fuels terminal. 44 BP announced the sale of its 70% share in its Malaysia fuels business to 30% shareholder Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT). The business comprises 240 service stations, a modern fuel terminal and two joint-venture automated LPG bottling plants with turnover of $500 million and employs 250 staff. The transaction is expected to complete in the third quarter of 2005. In July 2004 BP announced conditional agreement had been reached with Singapore Petroleum Company Limited (SPC) for sale of BP's retail and LPG business in Singapore. The retail business comprises 30 stations and associated business administration and the LPG business comprises BP's 70% shareholding in BP Wearnes Gas Ltd. The transaction was completed in the third quarter of 2004. During 2003, divestments mandated in connection with the Veba transaction as a condition of regulatory approval of the deal were completed with the sale of a 45% stake in Bayernoil refinery, an 18% stake in the Trans Alpine Pipeline (TAL), 741 retail stations in Germany, 55 stations in Hungary and 11 in Slovakia in separate packages to PKN Orlen and OMV AG, for a total of $580 million in cash and assumption of debt. Capital expenditure and acquisitions in 2004 was $3,014 million compared with $3,080 million in 2003 and $7,753 million in 2002 (including $5,038 million for the Veba acquisition). Excluding acquisitions, capital expenditure was $2,831 million in 2004 compared with $3,006 million in 2003 and $2,682 million in 2002. Capital expenditure excluding acquisitions is expected to be around $3.2 billion in 2005. This excerpt taken from the BP 20-F filed Jun 30, 2005.
