You might as well piss up a rope.
Crude oil can be traded, that doesn't change anything. If BP trades with a another Company - BP is still the one that makes the profit on the traded oil - it's a 1 for 1 trade - equal. It makes no difference who pulled it out of the ground, it only matters when the profits are made.
