荷兰皇家壳牌公司公布第二季度财务成绩,净利润达98.4亿美元,较去年同期翻超一倍1。这一业绩增长主要受益于全球油气价格的大幅上升,油价从1月的约61美元/桶上升至4月底高点126美元/桶1。公司首席执行官韦尔·萨万将这一现象归因于"全球能源市场的严重扰乱"1。
然而,公司整合气体部门的产量同比下降30%1。这一下滑与卡塔尔拉斯拉凡液化天然气设施3月遭罢工损坏密切相关,该设施的修复预计需要耗时约一年1。
环保团体对壳牌的超额利润表示关注。绿色和平组织政治活动人士Ruby Schulkind呼吁对壳牌等大型油企征收暴利税,将所得用于家庭能源补贴、气候韧性建设和清洁能源转型1。
Royal Dutch Shell reported second-quarter net profits of $9.84 billion, more than doubling compared to the same period last year, driven by a significant spike in global energy prices 1. The surge in oil and gas values followed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that disrupted energy markets 1.
Global crude oil prices climbed substantially during the period, rising from approximately $61 per barrel in January to a peak of $126 per barrel by late April, with Brent crude trading at $93.18 per barrel on Thursday 1. Shell's Chief Executive Officer Wael Sawan attributed the results to "severe disruptions in the global energy market" 1.
The company's integrated gas division, however, experienced a significant setback, with production declining 30 percent year-over-year 1. The decline was largely attributable to damage sustained by the Ras Laffan liquefied natural gas facility in Qatar during a strike in March, with repairs expected to take approximately one year 1.
The substantial profit figures have drawn renewed calls from environmental groups for government intervention. Greenpeace activist Ruby Schulkind advocated for imposing a windfall tax on Shell, with revenues directed toward household energy subsidies, climate resilience initiatives, and clean energy transitions 1.
