挪威国家石油公司Equinor公布第二季度利润达115亿美元，较去年同期的65亿美元增长一倍 1。这一业绩超过分析师预期的113.7亿美元 1。
利润大幅增长的主要驱动力来自于能源市场的紧张局势。4至6月间，布伦特原油价格在每桶75至100美元间波动，相比去年同期的60至70美元明显上升 1。美国军方对伊朗发动第11轮空袭 1，同时胡塞武装对沙特阿拉伯宣布实施海上封锁 1，这些地缘政治冲突导致霍尔木兹海峡油运受阻，进一步推高了原油价格。
Equinor总裁兼首席执行官Anders Opedal表示，"强劲的二季度产量使我们能够从更高的价格中获取价值" 1。公司增加了产量以填补市场空缺，充分受益于价格上涨。
截至报告期末，布伦特原油交易价格约每桶93美元，创六周高点 1，周三原油价格更是上升3.3%至每桶94.30美元 1。
Equinor, Norway's state-owned oil company, reported second-quarter profits of $11.5 billion in 2024, double the $6.5 billion earned in the same period the previous year 1. The result exceeded analyst expectations of $11.37 billion 1.
The surge was driven by elevated energy prices stemming from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Brent crude oil fluctuated between $75 and $100 per barrel during the April-to-June period, compared to roughly $60 to $70 a year earlier 1. By Wednesday, crude prices had risen 3.3 percent to $94.30 per barrel, reaching approximately $93 per barrel and marking a six-week high 1.
Tensions contributing to the price increases included U.S. military operations against Iran, with American forces conducting their eleventh nighttime airstrike on the country 1. Additionally, Houthi forces announced a maritime blockade targeting Saudi Arabia 1.
Equinor capitalized on the favorable market conditions by increasing production to fill supply gaps. Anders Opedal, the company's president and chief executive, stated: "Strong second-quarter volumes enabled us to capture value from higher prices" 1.
