BP cuts net debt sharply to $13.5-14.5B, ahead of plan, as refining margins rise and production stays strong.

BP expects its third-quarter net debt to fall to $13.5-14.5 billion from $22.3 billion in Q2, beating its year-end target early. Higher commodity prices and strong refining margins helped reduce liabilities by about $9-10 billion this quarter. Production guidance was slightly raised, while BP flagged $3-4.5 billion impairments mainly in gas and low carbon energy. Analysts see the debt cut as positive but remain cautious about BP's cost base. A strategy update is scheduled for December 15 in New York.
