BP expects Q3 net debt to drop sharply as refining margins improve significantly

BP forecasts its third-quarter net debt to fall to $13.5-$14.5 billion from $22.3 billion in Q2, driven by stronger refining margins and capital actions. Upstream production is steady, with gas and low-carbon output rising, while oil production slightly decreases due to reduced Latin America equity. Refining margins are expected to boost earnings by $1.9-$2.1 billion, despite weaker customer business results and post-tax impairments of $3-$4.5 billion mainly in transition businesses. BP will report Q3 results on October 30 and update its strategy on December 15 in New York.

BP's net debt is forecast to drop sharply to between $13.5 billion and $14.5 billion in Q3, supported by stronger refining margins.
