"BP's management also has a growing expectation that the aftermath of the pandemic will accelerate the pace of transition to a lower-carbon economy and energy system.
US companies Exxon and Chevron are expected to report net losses of about $3 billion and about $1.4 billion, respectively, in the second quarter.
