Războiul cu Iranul umple conturile gigantului petrolier al Norvegiei. Profitul Equinor aproape s-a dublat în doar trei luni

The ongoing Middle East conflict significantly impacts major energy companies' profits, with Equinor reporting a nearly doubled profit in Q2 2023. The Norwegian state-controlled oil company achieved an adjusted profit of $11.5 billion, surpassing analysts' expectations. Increased oil and gas production at the conflict's onset, alongside disruptions in oil transport through the Strait of Hormuz, contributed to rising international oil prices. Brent crude fluctuated between $75 and over $100 per barrel during this period. Geopolitical tensions continue to threaten global supply, with potential for further price hikes due to naval blockades and military confrontations.
