BP plc Analyst Notes 

On April 2, 2014, BP plc (BP) announced that it plans to shut down refining operations at its 102,000 barrels per day (bpd) Bulwer Island refinery in Brisbane, Queensland by mid-2015, and cut back over 90% of the workforce. Andy Holmes, President of BP Australasia, said that the growth of very large refineries in the Asia-Pacific region was driving structural change within the fuels supply chain in Australia and putting huge commercial pressure on smaller scale plants. BP currently employs nearly 380 staff at the refinery and will reduce the staff strength to 25 between now and mid-2015. Hit by the shrinking refining margins and lower output, the Company recently reported a sharp decline in its Q4 2013 underlying replacement cost profit at $2.8 billion versus $3.9 billion in Q4 2012. Following the announcement, the stock (ADR) of BP ended unchanged at $48.44 on NYSE. The full analyst notes on BP plc. are available to download free of charge at:
