Abstract

The article provides a general overview of BP’s hedging policy. We analyze how the company hedges risks and risks the company hard to hedge. BP is a multinational oil and gas company, the main risks in the area of swapping the economic exposure and managing its normal business exposures. Based on analyzing data from annual reports of BP and comparing with the SHELL, we estimate how BP hedges risks. BP mainly used financial derivatives instruments such as futures and options to hedge risks such as market risks. Except for price and market risk, our study also finds that climate change and geopolitical risk are hard to hedge for BP. Our research may provide some reference for the company like BP to make hedging strategies in the future.
