Rocketing oil prices have helped Royal Dutch Shell to a more than 20% jump in second-quarter profits.
Shell said current cost of supply (CCS) net profits, excluding gains from the rising value of fuel stocks, were $4.62bn (£2.65bn), up from $3.66bn.
The oil giant said its oil and gas production averaged 3.526 million barrels a day.
It added it was raising the amount it would spend in exploration in 2005 and 2006 to $1.8bn a year from $1.5bn.

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.
