Öl und Gas Gewinne boomen

By Duncan Mil

February 2, 2023 - Exxon Mobil, Shell und Chevron haben gemeinsam einen Gewinn von $131Milliarden für 2022 gemeldet. Das entspricht einem Stundensatz von $14,96 Millionen und ist gleichzeitig ein historisches Hoch für die westliche Öl und Gas Industrie.

Britain’s Shell has reported profits for 2022 of almost $40bn on the back of a strong performance from its gas trading business.

Europe’s largest oil and gas company said that adjusted earnings had more than doubled to $39.9bn, smashing the previous record of $31bn set in 2008

The earnings continued record profits for the world’s biggest energy companies. U.S. rivals ExxonMobil and Chevron recently reported annual incomes of $55.7 billion and 35.5 billion, respectively.

These record profits result from both price gouging by the energy companies and the slashing of costs, including holding wage increases below the inflation rate.

Oil and gas prices have surged over the past year as Russian forces stormed into Ukraine, and global demand soared as economies recovered.
