This excerpt taken from the BP 6-K filed Feb 3, 2009.
Resegmentation




On 11 October 2007, we announced our
intention to simplify the organizational structure of BP. From 1 January 2008, there
are only two business segments – Exploration and Production and Refining and
Marketing. A separate business, Alternative Energy, handles BP’s low-carbon
businesses and future growth options outside oil and gas. This includes solar, wind,
gas-fired power, hydrogen, biofuels and coal conversion.

 

As a result, and with effect from 1 January 2008:



















·     




The Gas, Power and
Renewables segment ceased to report separately.

















·     




The natural gas liquids (NGLs), liquefied natural gas and gas and power
marketing and trading businesses were transferred from the Gas, Power and
Renewables segment to the Exploration and Production segment.

















·     




The Alternative Energy business was transferred from the Gas, Power and
Renewables segment to Other businesses and corporate.

















·     




The Emerging Consumers Marketing Unit was transferred from Refining and
Marketing to Alternative Energy.

















·     




The Biofuels business was transferred from Refining and Marketing to
Alternative Energy.

















·     




The Shipping business was transferred from Refining and Marketing to Other
businesses and corporate.













As a result of the transfers identified
above, Other businesses and corporate has been redefined. It now consists of the
Alternative Energy business, Shipping, the group’s aluminium asset, Treasury (which
includes interest income on the group’s cash and cash equivalents) and corporate
activities worldwide.






Financial information for 2003 to 2007

Note 4 - Resegmentation

 

With effect from January 1, 2005 there have been the following changes to the business segments reported by the Group:

 

(a)

The Mardi Gras pipeline system in the Gulf of Mexico has been transferred from Exploration and Production to Refining and Marketing.

 

(b)

The aromatics and acetyls operations and the petrochemicals assets that are integrated with our Gelsenkirchen refinery in Germany have been transferred from the former Petrochemicals segment to Refining and Marketing.

 

(c)

The olefins and derivatives operations have been transferred from the former Petrochemicals segment to the Olefins and Derivatives business. The legacy historical results of other petrochemicals assets that had been divested during 2004 and 2003 are included within Other businesses and corporate.

 

(d)

The Grangemouth and Lavéra refineries have been transferred from Refining and Marketing to the Olefins and Derivatives business to maintain existing operating synergies with the co-located olefin and derivatives operations.

 

(e)

A small US operation, the Hobbs fractionator, which supplies petrochemicals feedstock, has been transferred from Gas, Power and Renewables to the Olefins and Derivatives business.

 

The Olefins and Derivatives business is reported within Other businesses and corporate. This reorganization was a precursor to seeking to divest the Olefins and Derivatives business. As indicated in Note 5, during 2005 we divested Innovene and show its activities as discontinued operations in these accounts. Innovene represented the majority of the Olefins and Derivatives business.

 

Comparative financial and operating information is shown after resegmentation, the change in accounting policy (see Note 6) and the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards.

Note 4 - Resegmentation

 

With effect from January 1, 2005 there have been the following changes to the business segments reported by the Group.

 

(a)

Our petrochemicals operations were divided between the Refining and Marketing segment and Other businesses and corporate. The aromatics and acetyls businesses and the petrochemicals assets that are integrated with our Gelsenkirchen refinery in Germany became part of Refining and Marketing. The olefins and derivatives business is now reported within Other businesses and corporate. This segment was also restated to include the legacy historical results of other petrochemicals assets that had been divested during 2004. In addition we also combined our Grangemouth and Lavéra refineries into the olefins and derivatives business to maintain current operating synergies. As indicated below (Note 5) we have agreed to sell our Olefins and Derivatives business and have categorized the majority of this business as discontinued operations.

 

(b)

A small US operation, the Hobbs fractionator, which supplies petrochemicals feedstock, has been transferred from Gas, Power and Renewables to olefins and derivatives.

 

(c)

The Mardi Gras pipeline system in the Gulf of Mexico has been transferred from Exploration and Production to Refining and Marketing.

With effect from January 1, 2005 there have been the following changes to the business segments reported by the Group.

 

(a)                                  The petrochemicals operations have been divided between the Refining and Marketing segment and Other businesses and corporate.  The aromatics and acetyls businesses and the petrochemicals assets that are integrated with our Gelsenkirchen refinery in Germany are now part of Refining and Marketing.  The olefins and derivatives business is now reported within Other businesses and corporate.  This segment has also been restated to include the legacy historical results of other petrochemicals assets that have been divested during 2004.  The Grangemouth and Lavéra refineries have also been combined into the olefins and derivatives business to maintain current operating synergies.  These changes have been made in connection with the establishment of our olefins and derivatives business as a stand-alone entity within BP, with a view towards its divestment at a later date.

 

(b)                                 A small US operation, the Hobbs fractionator, which supplies petrochemicals feedstock, has been transferred from Gas, Power and Renewables to olefins and derivatives.
