Creating a record profit for the U.S. and European oil and gas giants to "scold"

"The four Oil and Gas giants in the United States and the gas giants have almost doubled the revenue in the last quarter." Reuters sorted out the latest quarterly report data from several international energy companies on July 29 that the American ExMobil and Chevron and Europe were Shells and Da Dal's energy profit exceeded $ 50 billion. Among them, ExxonMobil's quarterly profit was as high as US $ 17.9 billion, setting a record for the highest profitability of international oil companies in the quarterly quarterly. The company has a high profit, and shareholders have also made a lot of money. The data shows that the four companies divided shareholders a total of $ 23 billion in the second quarter.

The analysis believes that when the rise in international energy prices has pushed inflation in Western countries, and a large number of ordinary people are difficult to withstand the cost of living costs, the huge profit and generous dividend of oil and gas giants will naturally become the target of politicians and social activities. U.S. President Biden had named ExxonMobil's use of high oil prices in June to make a profit, and the voices of levying huge profits for oil and gas giants were endless.

Although the U.S. and European oil and gas giants live well, in fact, many western countries are facing the hidden concerns of the energy crisis. The American "Wall Street Journal" said that the performance data of Chevron Corporation said that the output of energy companies is actually declining, which is the high performance of international commodities. The company's global oil and natural gas production decreased by about 7.4%year -on -year to 2.9 million barrels of oil per day. Although the output of the United States rose by about 3.2%, its international output dropped by about 13.4%. The company's recorded profits benefited from the sharp increase in its oil and natural gas production business income. The business profit was US $ 8.6 billion, which was higher than the US $ 3.2 billion in the same period last year. It reaches $ 3.5 billion. Other income reached US $ 65 billion, higher than the US $ 36 billion in the same period last year.

The Wall Street Journal commented on the 30th that the United States has the most serious energy crisis in the past half a century, and the current energy crisis is very different from the petroleum crisis in the 1970s. The analysis believes that the era of a large amount of cheap supply in energy has ended. While the United States hesitated to clean energy, while encountering a superposition of emergencies such as new crown pneumonia epidemic and Russian and Ukraine conflicts, the international energy market was seriously unbalanced.

The article also states that there is a serious shortage of energy in the US energy transformation, that is, thermal power continues to withdraw, and the development of clean energy has not fully kept up with the demand for electricity, including difficulty in cleaning energy power generation, severe grid fragmentation, etc., and highlighting the performance as before. The chaos of continuous power outage in summer high temperature. ▲ (Zhen Xiang)
