Shell Q2 profits up 5 pct on high oil prices
LONDON, July 31 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L: Quote,Profile, Research) reported a 5 percent rise in second-quarter current cost of supply (CCS) net income to $7.9 billion on the back of high oil prices.
The world’s second-largest non-government controlled oil company by market value said in a statement on Thursday that the CCS result included a non-operating gain of $73 million.
Excluding such one-off items, the “clean” CCS or underlying result was $7.8 billion, compared to an average forecast of $8.3 billion in a Reuters poll of nine analysts and $6.90 billion in the same period of 2007.
CCS earnings strip out unrealised gains from rises in the value of inventories as oil prices increase and as such are comparable with U.S. net income. (Reporting by Tom Bergin; Editing by Paul Bolding)

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
