        In December 2005, BP sold Innovene, its olefins, derivatives and refining group, to INEOS. Gross proceeds received initially amounted to $8,477 million, which is subject to revision for closing adjustments. There were selling costs of $120 million. A loss before tax of $694 million was recognized on the remeasurement to fair value less costs to sell of the Innovene operations.
