Four major oil companies reported a decrease in net profits in the third quarter of 2024, while three major oil companies saw net profits. United Kingdom-based Shell reported the largest quarterly gain. However, state-owned Saudi Aramco had by far the highest earnings that quarter, at over 27 billion U.S. dollars.
Oil companies' net profits are often tied to overall economic and geopolitical events, which have used influences on oil prices and may make or break a company's financial performance. For example, a significant rise in oil and gas prices in 2022 helped oil companies like Saudi Aramco and ExxonMobil cash in significant income despite production output staying relatively stable. Saudi Aramco made nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars in net income in the second quarter of 2022, compared with 17.9 billion U.S. dollars for ExxonMobil. BP's net loss of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars reported in the first quarter of 2022 is due to the company's divestment of stakes in Russia's Rosneft oil company.
