Shell profits nearly triple as oil prices surge amid Russia-Ukraine war – BBC News
Energy giant Shell has reported its highest ever quarterly profits as oil and gas prices surge around the world.
Shell made $9.13bn (£7.3bn) in the first three months of the year, nearly triple its $3.2bn profit it announced for the same period last year.
But the firm said pulling out of Russian oil and gas due to the Ukraine conflict had cost it $3.9bn (£3.1bn).
On Tuesday, rival BP also reported a sharp rise in profit, but the UK has so far ruled out a windfall tax.

It has been five years since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan, as western forces left, imposing their extreme, ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam on millions of people.
Their return to power brought relative peace to the country after two decades of war.
But Afghan women have been erased from public life. Girls are banned from school from the age of 12, and aren’t allowed to go to university.
Public parks are also off limits to women – and they can’t travel abroad without a male companion.

As it approaches the six-month anniversary of the start of the US-Israeli war with Iran, we analyse the strategically important developments with the Strait of Hormuz, and ordinary citizens from across the US describe the impact on their lives as gas prices increase.
Meanwhile, what of life inside Iran? With the announcement of a new internal security chief this month – we reflect on his past record and the report from a human rights organisation that so far this year, Iran has executed 500 of its own people.

China has warned there is a “high risk” that a lake which formed after the recent landslide near the Nepal-Tibet border may breach its banks, causing a second flood downstream.
The warning comes after Wednesday’s deadly flash flood in the same area which has killed more than 500.
Scientists say it was triggered by the collapse of a mountain glacier into a river.

The Netflix show Emily in Paris has been lauded by French President Emmanuel Macron, who presented its creator, Darren Star, with the prestigious Légion d’Honneur last year.
“You make France shine across the world,” Macron said.
Many critics disagree. The programme, about a hapless American marketing executive living a glamorous and romantic fantasy in the French capital, is due to return for its sixth and final season later this year.
Some Parisians have complained that the series is full of cliches. And they worry that the tourism boost created by the show is changing the city they live in.
How do blockbuster TV series and iconic films reshape our cities, for better or worse?
The Global Story host, Tristan Redman, heads to the fifth arrondissement, while producers Hannah Moore and Xandra Ellin get the picture in London and New York.

The British government make more than Shell on fuel. They charge us fuel tax plus vat on fuel. The government are causing expensive transport costs,wich pushes up retail prices.
But that brings in even more VAT. And government members can afford to pay. Take the VAT OFF FUEL. It will help us all. The government taxes on fuel bring in well over
£60billion per annum.

so if the reason they increased prices was to estabilize the shortage because of the war then why the record high profits? it seems they are using the war as an excuse… and yeah i know its capitalism but oil is an essential good thats like price gouging water at this point

We are fortunate to have Shell and BP in the UK. Yes they are making good profits but they are both paying high taxes and investing the huge amount of money in renewables so urgently required. Who else is going to fund it? Also, pension funds rely on Shell and BP.

That is government responsibility to allow that to happen. We live in country where companies keep prices high with common agreement between themselves. Ofgem fucked , governement fucked we are really fucked.

Amid the shrill criticism of bumper profits at Shell, there is no mention of the huge losses during the covid lockdown. I can't recall anyone offering a grant to compensate shell shareholders.
@chrisclarke4541
January 8, 2024 at 5:58 pm
Shell-s profits belong to shareholders who have had to endure massive losses during the lockdown but are now being rewarded for staying loyal. I don't seem to have heard calls from Labour etc for compensation for these losses. No, these people want it both ways. Capitalism is all about risk and reward, it doesn't work if we punish success and reward failure.

it’s a big club. ‘Kimberly Ellen Kagan (born 1972) is an American military historian. She heads the Institute for the Study of War and has taught at West Point, Yale, Georgetown University, and American University. Kagan has published in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Weekly Standard and elsewhere.[1] She supported the 2007 troop surge in Iraq and has since advocated for an expanded and restructured American military campaign in Afghanistan.[2] In 2009, she served on Afghanistan commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal's strategic assessment team.[2] Kimberly Kagan is the daughter of Kalman Kessler, a Jewish accountant and school teacher from New York City and his wife Frances.[3][4][5] She received her BA in classical civilization and her PhD in history from Yale University. At Yale, Kagan met her husband Frederick Kagan, who is an American resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI),[6] son of Donald Kagan, a well-known historian, and brother of Robert Kagan, another well-known writer and publicist. Robert Kagan's wife is Victoria Nuland, a former US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs.’

Like if you intend to boycott Shell.
Shell won’t change their strategy or reduce their profit margin until either the government steps in (which they won’t) or consumers ‘fire a shot across the bow’ by boycotting the company.
This investment intention is absolute nonsense because Shell has to do this anyway. It has to evolve over time or it will ultimately die. This is the same reason why if you don’t boycott them all you are doing is encouraging other providers to follow their lead.

They have a nerve to blame oil prices on the war in Ukraine when indeed they are raising prices for consumers, why? Because they can get away with it. Biden has to get control of these people. Consumers are hurting, seniors are hurting; stop blaming Ukraine and get these thieves.

First government prints paper that essentially makes paper money crash in value. Now the Oil and Gas companies are looting us the people and putting the bail out cash in their pockets. The reality is this is how the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor. It is a sham, governments and these investors are on the same team, keep the money in their pockets, screw the rest of us.

Hilarious how people moan about the cost of petrol yet don’t bat an eyelid when asked to pay over £5 for a pint of Peroni, which going by my local pub price would make it £9.41 per litre.
