American oil companies reported record profits for the third quarter of 2026, driven by high oil prices and refining margins due to the ongoing US-Iran conflict. ExxonMobil's net profit doubled to $15.4 billion, while Chevron's surged to $9.9 billion. The refining sector saw significant profit increases, with ExxonMobil's refining margins reaching $50.3 per barrel. An NGO, 350.org, is advocating for permanent taxes on these exceptional profits to support consumers and energy transition efforts. European oil companies also reported strong profit growth amid high oil prices.
