Re:

Estimates of Proved Reserves,Future Production Rates, andFuture Net Revenues for theBP Prudhoe Bay Royalty TrustAs of December 31, 2016


Dear Ms. Rodgers:

This letter report is a summary of investigations performed in accordance with the Miller and Lents, Ltd. (MLL) engagement by you as described
in Section 4.8(d) of the Overriding Royalty Conveyance dated February 27, 1989, between BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. and The Standard Oil Company. The purpose of MLLs review was to determine that the procedures and methods used by BP
Exploration (Alaska) Inc. are effective and in accordance with the definitions contained in the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10(a). The
investigations included reviews of the estimates of proved reserves and production rate forecasts of oil and condensate made by BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. attributable to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust as of December 31, 2016. Additionally,
MLL reviewed calculations of the resulting estimated future net revenues and present value of estimated future net revenues attributable to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust.

Under the terms of an Issues Resolution Agreement entered into by the Prudhoe Bay Unit owners in October 1990, produced condensate from the
Gas Cap Initial Participating Area (Gas Cap IPA) was allocated to the Gas Cap IPA until a cumulative limit of 1,175 million barrels was reached. This cumulative limit was reached in June 2014. Beginning at that time and continuing thereafter,
that condensate is allocated to the Oil Rim Initial Participating Area (Oil Rim IPA). Therefore, references herein to oil production include condensate production allocated to the Oil Rim IPA. MLLs review covers 100 percent of reserves
and revenues attributable to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust.

The estimates and calculations reviewed were summarized in the report
prepared by BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. and transmitted with a cover letter dated January 27, 2017, addressed to Ms. Elaina Rodgers of BNY Mellon Trust Company, N.A. and signed by Mr. David Knapp. Reviews were also performed by MLL
during this year or in previous years of the (1) procedures for estimating and documenting proved reserves; (2) estimates of in-place reservoir volumes; (3) estimates of recovery factors and
production profiles for the various areas, pay zones, projects, and recovery processes that are included in the estimate of proved

reserves; (4) production strategy and procedures for implementing that strategy; (5) sufficiency of the data available for making estimates of proved reserves and production profiles;
and (6) pertinent provisions of the Prudhoe Bay Unit Operating Agreement, the Issues Resolution Agreement, the Overriding Royalty Conveyance, the Trust Conveyance, the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust Agreement, and other related documents
referenced in the Form F-3 Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 7, 1989 by BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc.

Proved reserves were estimated by BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. in accordance with the definitions contained in Securities and Exchange
Commission Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10(a). Estimated future net revenues and present value of estimated future net revenues are not intended and should not be interpreted
to represent fair market values for the estimated reserves.

The Prudhoe Bay (Permo-Triassic) Reservoir is defined in the Prudhoe Bay Unit
Operating Agreement. The Prudhoe Bay Unit is an oil and gas unit situated on the North Slope of Alaska. The BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust is entitled to a royalty payment on 16.4246 percent of the first 90,000 barrels of the actual average
daily net production of oil and condensate for each calendar quarter from the BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. Working Interest as defined in the Overriding Royalty Conveyance. The payment amount depends upon the Per Barrel Royalty that in turn depends
upon the West Texas Intermediate Price, the Chargeable Costs, the Cost Adjustment Factor, and Production Taxes, all of which are defined in the Overriding Royalty Conveyance. Changes to the Production Tax beginning January 1, 2014, were
legislated by the State of Alaska and are incorporated herein. Barrel as used herein means stock tank barrel as defined in the Overriding Royalty Conveyance.

Payments received by the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust are based exclusively on a percentage of the first 90,000 barrels of the average actual
daily net production of crude oil from the leases subject to the Overriding Royalty Conveyance. There is no relationship between any delivery commitments of BP Exploration (Alaska) and the other owners of the Working Interests in the Prudhoe
Bay Field and the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trusts entitlement to the prescribed royalty payments. The BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust does not directly or indirectly own any working interests in wells, operations, or acreage.

MLLs reviews do not constitute independent estimates of the reserves and annual production rate forecasts for the areas, pay zones,
projects, and recovery processes examined. MLL relied upon the accuracy and completeness of information provided by BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. with respect to pertinent ownership interests and various other historical, accounting, engineering, and
geological data. MLL employed all methods, procedures, and assumptions considered necessary in utilizing the data provided to prepare this report.

As a result of our cumulative reviews, based on the foregoing, MLL concludes that:



| | 1. | A large body of basic data and detailed analyses are available and were used in making the estimates. In MLLs judgment, the quantity and quality of currently available data on reservoir boundaries, original fluid
contacts, and reservoir rock and fluid properties are sufficient to indicate that any future revisions to the estimates of total original in-place volumes should be minor. Furthermore, the data and analyses on
recovery factors and future production rates are sufficient to support the proved reserves estimates.

| | 2. | Proved reserves were estimated generally by use of full-field three-dimensional reservoir simulation, extrapolation of well-established historical production performance trends and/or were supported by other geologic
and engineering studies. Where sufficient localized performance data did not exist, reserves were estimated by volumetric calculations, simulations, or by analogy to similar producing areas of the field. The methods and procedures employed to
accumulate and evaluate the necessary information and to estimate, document, and reconcile reserves, annual production rate forecasts, and future net revenues are effective and appropriate.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3. | Based on MLLs limited independent tests of the computations of reserves, production flowstreams, and future net revenues, such computations were performed in accordance with the methods and procedures described to
us and conform to the relevant SEC definitions.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 4. | The estimated net remaining proved reserves attributable to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust as of December 31, 2016, of 9.376 million barrels of oil are, in the aggregate, reasonable. Of the
9.376 million barrels of total proved reserves, 9.204 million barrels are proved developed reserves, and 0.172 million barrels are proved undeveloped reserves.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 5. | The 2016 average West Texas Intermediate Price of $42.75 per barrel, applicable under current SEC regulations, represents the 12-month average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the
12-month period prior to December 31, 2016. Based on this price, other economic parameters as prescribed by the Overriding Royalty Conveyance, and utilizing the specified procedures outlined in Financial
Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 932, Extractive Activities  Oil and Gas, BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. calculated that as of December 31, 2016, production of the proved reserves will result in estimated
future net revenues of $63.8 million and present value of estimated future net revenues of $59.2 million to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust. These estimates are reasonable.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 6. | As a consequence of the natural production decline and the downtime required for ongoing infrastructure and other improvements, BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc.s net production of oil from proved reserves attributable
to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust was less than 90,000 barrels per day on an annual average basis in 2016. BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. expects that its net production of oil from proved reserves attributable to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust
will be less than 90,000 barrels per day on an average basis during future years. The BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. projection of its future net production of oil is reasonable.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 7. | Production attributable to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust will decline with the BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. production. However, the Per Barrel Royalty will not have a positive value if the West Texas Intermediate
Price is less than the sum of the Chargeable Costs and Production Taxes, appropriately adjusted in accordance with the Overriding Royalty Conveyance. Under such circumstances, average daily production attributable to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust
will have no value and therefore will not contribute to the reserves attributable to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust regardless of BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc.s net production level.

| | 8. | Based on the SEC-defined 12-month average West Texas Intermediate Price of $42.75 per barrel and Production Taxes and Adjusted Chargeable
Costs as prescribed by the Overriding Royalty Conveyance, the projection that royalty payments will continue through the year 2018 is reasonable. For the economic conditions and production forecast as of December 31, 2016, the Per Barrel
Royalty will be zero following the year 2018. Therefore, no reserves are currently attributed to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust after that date. The cessation of production date forecasted by BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. exceeds the life of the BP
Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 9. | Even if expected reservoir performance does not change, the estimated reserves, economic life, and future net revenues attributable to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust may change significantly in the future. This may
result from sustained periods of change in the West Texas Intermediate Price, the Production Tax, or from changes in other prescribed variables utilized in calculations defined by the Overriding Royalty Conveyance.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Estimates of ultimate and remaining reserves and production forecasts depend upon assumptions regarding expansion or implementation of
alternative projects or development programs and upon strategies for production optimization. BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. has continual reservoir management, surveillance, and planning efforts dedicated to (1) gathering new information,
(2) improving the accuracy of its reserves and production capacity estimates, (3) recognizing and exploiting new opportunities, (4) anticipating potential problems and taking corrective actions, and (5) identifying, selecting,
and implementing optimum recovery program and cost reduction alternatives. Given this significant effort and ever-changing economic conditions, estimates of reserves and production profiles will change periodically.

The current estimate of total proved reserves includes volumes of proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves that are significantly
impacted by the reduction in the West Texas Intermediate Price in 2016 and by revision of forecasted production, resulting in a shortened life of the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust. The current estimated proved undeveloped reserves are part of ongoing
development activities for which BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. has a historical track record of completing comparable projects. Net proved undeveloped reserves attributable to the BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust were reduced by approximately
0.462 million barrels during 2016 as a result of the significant reduction in the West Texas Intermediate Price, forecast revisions, and capital activities including drilling and well treatments. In all cases, the volumes are being progressed
as part of an adopted development plan that calls for drilling of wells over an extended period of time given the magnitude of the development. There were no contributions to proved undeveloped reserves from extensions or discoveries during 2016.

Future projects, development programs, or operating strategies different from those assumed in the current estimates may change future
estimates and affect recoveries. However, because several complementary and alternative projects are being considered for recovery of the remaining oil in the reservoir, a decision not to implement a currently planned project may allow scope
expansion or implementation of another project, thereby increasing the overall likelihood of recovering the reserves.

Future production
rates will be controlled by facilities limitations and upsets, well downtime, and the effectiveness of programs to optimize production and costs. Additional drilling, workovers, facilities

modifications, new recovery projects, and programs for production enhancement and optimization are expected to mitigate but not eliminate the decline in gross
oil production capacity.

In making its future production forecasts, BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. provided for
anticipated downtime and planned facilities upsets. Although allowances for unplanned upsets are also considered in the estimates, the studies do not provide for any impediments to crude oil production as a consequence of major disruptions.

Under current economic conditions, gas from the Alaskan North Slope, except for minor volumes, cannot be marketed commercially. Oil recovery
is expected to be greater as a result of continued reinjection of produced gas than the recovery would be if major volumes of produced gas were being sold. No major gas sale is assumed in the current estimates. In the event that major gas sales are
initiated, likely to supply a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) project under consideration, ultimate oil recovery may be reduced from the current estimate unless recovery projects other than those included in the current estimate are implemented.

Large volumes of natural gas liquids (NGLs) are likely to be produced and marketed in the future whether or not major gas sales become
viable. NGL reserves are not included in the estimates cited herein. The BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust is not entitled to royalty payments from production or sales of natural gas, LNG, or NGLs.

The evaluations presented in this report, with the exceptions of those parameters specified by others, reflect MLLs informed judgments
and are subject to the inherent uncertainties associated with interpretation of geological, geophysical, and engineering information. These uncertainties include, but are not limited to the (1) utilization of analogous or indirect data and
(2) application of professional judgment. At this time, MLL and BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. are not aware of any existing or pending federal or state regulations that would materially affect the ability of BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. to
recover the estimated reserves in the Prudhoe Bay Field. Government policies and market conditions different from those reflected in this study or disruption of existing transportation routes or facilities may cause (1) the total quantity of
oil or condensate to be recovered, (2) actual production rates, (3) prices received, (4) operating and capital costs, or (5) Production Taxes to vary from those reviewed in this report.
