The government's have to force oil products to ridiculous new heights to make "green" alternatives look more attractive.

This is true, however time maybe shorter than a lot of the politicians are comfortable with, even in the UK a lot of people are going to get wet feet by 2030. Climate processes have very long cycles, you can't just turn them off.

Coal, oil & Gas companies are not going to change anything unless governments change laws to make them.
BP itself will continue on it's business as usual until the the government of the day get wet feet in London.

It’s all a short term charade. Practicality and realism will out over time.

I believe BP holds a 19.75% stake in Rosneft which has a record of paying out 50% of net earnings as dividends. So that is er um about a $425M quarterly payday? However I think BP recognises its full profit share from Rosneft in the accounts, whether or not the proceeds are received as a cash dividend. So what happens to the rest?

Rosneft's figure look ok ... BP should benefit year end.

Can't see what advantage Putin would get by invading the rest of Ukraine, since he already took the warm water port he needed. It would also guarantee the end of Nord Stream of course.

World EventsIf you look back at GW1, GW2 etc, when there is conflict the price of crude massively jumps.I'm hoping the US releasing their analysis that Russia IS going to invade Ukraine deters them, but if not the rodeo that is oil is about to commence.

All this virtue signalling from politicians just makes me sick when they know perfectly well that fossil fuels must play a part in energy production for many years yet. Can’t wait for the climb downs when they come but most of the current ones like Sturgeon, Biden and Bozo will have retired by then!!

[crt131] 11/11/2021 08:38

Yes - approx 4p for next divi

[mintington] 11/11/2021 08:36

Is that us ex-div today?....hence the initial share price drop

Nicola refuses to renew the Nuclear Power stations in Scotland and now she wants no oil or gas!
Maybe she thinks she can power the country from all the 'Hot Air' she talks!

Looks like some decided to lock in their dividend this afternoon? Well done them and buy back tomorrow.

Brent down, dollar up.....

[skinny] 10/11/2021 12:08

As it says in your post - The ex-dividend date will be 10 November 2021 for ADS holders and 11 November 2021 for ordinary shareholders.

[marktime1231] 10/11/2021 12:04

A little confusing, some screens are showing ex-div as 10 Nov eg today. However, the 2 Nov announcement says ...

"Dividends payable

BP today announced an interim dividend of 5.46 cents per ordinary share which is expected to be paid on 17 December 2021 to ordinary shareholders and American Depositary Share (ADS) holders on the register on 12 November 2021. The ex-dividend date will be 10 November 2021 for ADS holders and 11 November 2021 for ordinary shareholders. The corresponding amount in sterling is due to be announced on 7 December 2021, calculated based on the average of the market exchange rates over three dealing days between 1 December 2021 and 3 December 2021."

For ordinary shareholders ex-div is tomorrow, 11 Nov.

[klotzak] 10/11/2021 11:43

7p up today, 4 down tomorrow, then back to business.

[skinny] 10/11/2021 11:20

Yes, considering Brent is off.

[klotzak] 10/11/2021 11:19

Yes, just have to see what the exchange rate brings us for Dec divi now.
