Războiul din Iran a dublat profitul gigantului petrolier Equinor

Equinor, the Norwegian state-controlled energy company, reported a significant profit increase in Q2 due to rising oil prices and production. The adjusted profit reached $11.5 billion, surpassing analyst expectations. The company's performance was bolstered by heightened oil and gas production amid Middle Eastern tensions affecting energy markets. Oil prices fluctuated between $75 and over $100 per barrel, influenced by security issues in the Strait of Hormuz. CEO Anders Opedal emphasized the importance of energy supply security in the current geopolitical climate, while analysts warn of potential disruptions that could keep energy prices high.
