The information in this assay was prepared by BP Oil International Limited. It is for your private information and we are not soliciting or suggesting any action based upon it. While this material is based upon
information that we consider reliable, nevertheless, despite our efforts, it may not be accurate, up to date or applicable to the circumstances of any particular case. In particular, (i) as the assay is based on
a small sample only, it may not be wholly representative of the crude in question; and (ii) crude yield structures change over time and less recently dated assays are thus less representative of the crude in
question. Note that some of the values in this assay have been calculated rather than measured. We cannot accept any liability for any inaccuracies or omissions in this assay. Should you require it, additional
information is available on request.
