BP posted underlying replacement cost profit, used as a proxy for net profit, of $2.3 billion for the July-September period.

The firm's third-quarter results were the weakest since the fourth quarter of 2020 , when industry profits cratered during the coronavirus pandemic.

Oil prices fell by more than 17% in the third quarter amid concerns about the outlook for global oil demand.
