· a person that owns notes as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes,

· a person that purchases or sells notes as part of a wash sale for tax purposes, or

· a United States holder (as defined below) whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar.
If you purchase notes at a price other than the offering price, the amortizable bond premium or market discount rules may also apply to you.
You should consult your tax advisor regarding this possibility.
If a partnership holds the notes, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner
and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding the notes should consult the partner's tax advisor with regard to the
United States federal income tax treatment of an investment in the notes.
This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the
Internal Revenue Code, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive
basis.
Please consult your own tax advisor concerning the consequences of owning these notes in your particular circumstances under the Internal
Revenue Code and the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction (including states and localities).
United States Holders
This subsection describes the tax consequences to a United States holder. You are a United States holder if you are a beneficial owner of a
note and you are:

· a citizen or resident of the United States,

· a domestic corporation,

· an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or

· a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more United States persons

are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
If you are not a United States holder, this subsection does not apply to you and you should refer to "--United States Alien Holders" below.

Payments of Interest
You will be taxed on interest on your note as ordinary income at the time you receive the interest or when it accrues, depending on your
method of accounting for tax purposes.
Purchase, Sale and Retirement of the Notes
Your tax basis in your note generally will be its cost. You will generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or retirement of your note
equal to the difference between the amounts you realize on the sale or retirement, excluding any amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest

(which will be treated as interest payments), and your tax basis in your note. Capital gain of a noncorporate United States holder is generally taxed
at preferential rates where the property is held for more than one year.
Medicare Tax
A United States holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, is
subject to a 3.8% Medicare tax on the lesser of (1) the United States holder's "net investment income" (or "undistributed net investment income"
in the case of an estate or trust) for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the United States holder's modified adjusted gross income for the
taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals is between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual's
circumstances). A United States holder's net investment income generally includes its interest income and its net gains from the disposition of
notes, unless such interest income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or
business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If you are a United States holder that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to
consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the notes.
United States Alien Holders
If you are a United States alien holder (as defined in the accompanying prospectus), you generally will not be subject to United States federal
income tax, including withholding tax with respect to payments on your notes. Please see the discussion under "Tax Considerations--United States
Taxation--United States Alien Holders" in the accompanying prospectus.
Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets
Owners of "specified foreign financial assets" with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 (and in some circumstances, a higher threshold)
may be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. "Specified foreign financial assets" may include
financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as the following, but only if they are held for investment and not held in
accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-United States persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts
that have non-United States issuers or counterparties, and (iii) interests in foreign entities. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding
the application of this reporting requirement to their ownership of the notes.

Each series of notes is a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Application will be made to list the notes on the New
York Stock Exchange, although no assurance can be given that the notes will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and if so listed, the
listing does not assure that a trading market for the notes will develop. BP Capital U.K. and BP have been advised by the underwriters that the
underwriters intend to make a market in the notes but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time without notice. No
assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the notes.
BP Capital U.K. and BP have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.
The underwriters propose to offer the notes initially at the offering price on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. The underwriters

may sell notes to securities dealers at a discount from the initial public offering price of up to 0.100% of the principal amount of the 2020 notes and
up to 0.200% of the principal amount of the 2024 notes. These securities dealers may resell any notes purchased from the underwriters to other
brokers or dealers at a discount from the initial public offering price of up to 0.050% of the principal amount of the 2020 notes and up to 0.100% of
the principal amount of the 2024 notes. If the underwriters cannot sell all the notes at the initial offering price, they may change the offering price
and the other selling terms. The offering of the notes by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance of the notes and subject to each
underwriter's right to reject any order in whole or in part.
The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full-service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include
securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment,
hedging, financing and brokerage activities. From time to time certain of the underwriters engage in transactions with BP or its subsidiaries in the
ordinary course of business. Certain of the underwriters have performed investment banking, commercial banking and advisory services for BP in
the past and have received customary fees and expenses for these services, and may do so again in the future. For example, in the ordinary course
of their various businesses, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt
and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of
their customers, and such investment and securities activities may also involve securities and/or instruments of BP or its affiliates. Certain of the
underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with BP routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates
may hedge, their credit exposure to BP consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates
would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short
positions in BP's securities, including potentially the notes. Any

such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes. The underwriters and their respective affiliates
may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and
may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
In order to facilitate the offering of the notes, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or support the price of such
notes, as the case may be, for a limited period after the issue date. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with the offering,
creating a short position in the notes for their own account. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the notes, the
underwriters may bid for, and purchase, notes in the open market. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the notes
above independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.
In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant
Member State"), each underwriter has represented and agreed that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is
implemented in that Relevant Member State (the "Relevant Implementation Date"), it has not made and will not make an offer of the notes which
are the subject of the offering contemplated by the prospectus as supplemented by this prospectus supplement to the public in that Relevant
Member State, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of the notes to the public in
that Relevant Member State:

· to legal entities which are qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

· to fewer than 100, or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provisions of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150,
natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus

Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the relevant underwriter or underwriters nominated by BP Capital U.K. for any such
offer; or

· in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,
provided that no such offer of notes shall require BP Capital U.K. or any underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus
Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer of notes to the public" in relation to any notes in any Relevant Member State
means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to
enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the
Prospectus Directive in that Member State, the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto,
including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing
measure in each Relevant Member State and the expression "2010 PD Amending Directive" means Directive 2010/73/EU.
