中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸工程10月28日报道，近日壳牌报告称，今年第三季度调整后利润为94.5亿美元，较去年同期的41.3亿美元增长了一倍多。
尽管如此，由于炼油和天然气交易疲软，这家能源巨头的利润比2022年第二季度公布的114.7亿美元低了近18%。
截至2022年9月30日当季，壳牌调整后的息税折旧摊销前利润（EBITDA）为215.1亿美元，而一年前为134.6亿美元。
归属于股东的净收入为67.4亿美元，而2021第三季度亏损4.47亿美元。
这家总部位于伦敦的公司指出，该季度可供销售的总产量从一年前的306万桶/日下降至277万桶/日。
第三季度运营现金流从去年同期的160亿美元下降至125.4亿美元。
该公司指出，运营现金流的下降主要是由42亿美元的营运资本流出和34亿美元的纳税所致。
该公司还宣布，计划在2022年第四季度将每股股息提高近15%，将于明年3月支付。
壳牌还宣布了一项40亿美元的股票回购计划，预计将在下一次财报发布前完成。
壳牌首席执行官范伯登（Ben van Beurden）在评论业绩时表示，在全球能源市场持续动荡之际，公司取得了强劲的业绩。公司将继续通过有序的投资加强壳牌的投资组合，并将公司转型为低碳未来。与此同时，正与政府和客户密切合作，以满足他们的短期和长期能源需求。

Shell earnings more than double in Q3 and it announces $4bn share buyback
Shell has reported adjusted earnings of $9.45bn for the third quarter of 2022, which is more than double compared with the $4.13bn from the same period a year ago.
Despite this, the energy giant’s profit was almost 18% lower than the $11.47bn posted in the second quarter of 2022, due to weaker refining and gas trading.
For the quarter that ended>Net income attributable to shareholders was $6.74bn, compared with a loss of $447m in the third quarter of 2021.
The London-headquartered firm noted that the total production available for sale in the quarter declined to 2.77 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) from 3.06 million boepd a year ago.
Cash flow from operations during the third quarter declined to $12.54bn, from $16bn in the same period a year ago.
The decline in cash flow from operations was primarily driven by working-capital outflows of $4.2bn and tax payments of $3.4bn, the company noted.
The company also announced plans to raise its dividend per share by nearly 15% for the fourth quarter of 2022, which will be paid in March next year.
Shell also announced a $4bn share-buyback programme, which is expected to be completed by its next earnings release.
Commenting>“At the same time, we are working closely with governments and customers to address their short and long-term energy needs.”
