sold during the period is based on the current cost of supplies during 
the same period after making allowance for the tax effect. CCS earnings 
therefore exclude the effect of changes in the oil price on inventory 
carrying amounts. Sales between segments are based on prices generally 
equivalent to commercially available prices. 
 
   With effect from January 1, 2020, additional contracts are classified as 
held for trading purposes and consequently revenue is reported on a net 
rather than gross basis. The effect on revenue for the third quarter 
2020 is a reduction of $11,478 million (Q2 2020: $8,028 million, nine 
months 2020: $35,819 million).

   1.    Includes revenue from sources other than from contracts with 
customers, which mainly comprises the impact of fair value accounting of 
commodity derivatives. Third quarter 2020 included income of $1,803 
million (Q2 2020: $1,405 million income; nine months 2020: $9,894 
million income). This amount includes both the reversal of prior losses 
of $15 million (Q2 2020: $686 million gains) related to sales contracts 
and prior gains of $22 million (Q2 2020: $507 million losses) related to 
purchase contracts that were previously recognised and where physical 
settlement has taken place in the third quarter 2020.
