It is a phenomenal amount of money but i reckon Exxon and BP will trounce it !
Before anyone flames Shell they make 7% profit on their revenue and most of that gets ploughed into new ventures on the following year. They DO NOT make most of their money at the pumps. They make it long before then when refined oil is sold to make plastics, cosmetics, lubes, chemicals and fuel.
And we can moan about the tax revenues but it effectively is used to fund the countries ( albeit poor ) services.
If you have a pension with any company then it is likely linked to oil revenues so it is good news.
I am fed up with folk moaning about Shell making too much money. They have to spen billions to make billions in the first instance. They also have thoudands & thousands of shareholders too please too.........
