Interesting to know the value of BP’s oil wealth
Crude oil is trading at about $36.89 a barrel
That is £26.16 a barrel
17,523 million barrels = 17,523,000,000
17,523,000,000 x £26.16 a barrel = £458,401,680,000
So at today’s oil price, BP’s own reserves are worth £458,401,680,000.
That is £458 Billion. That is about 33% of UK GDP…..
