Upstream major projects
By 2021, we expect to add 900 mboed of new production net to BP from our major projects compared with our 2015 base portfolio, the majority of which have passed through the final investment decision and are complete or well under construction. You can find more information on our projects in the construction and design stages in the map below.
In addition to the map above we provide details of our construction phase projects below. Also provided are links to pages detailing projects in operation or scheduled for start-up in 2018.
