Oil giant Royal Dutch Shell will this week report a record profit of about $13.7bn (£6.9bn) for the first half of the year – equal to more than £430 a second – as soaring oil prices have boosted its coffers.
The 10 per cent profit rise comes as motorists face paying more than £1 a litre for petrol – and, with Goldman Sachs warning this week that oil prices could rise to $95 a barrel compared with last week’s $77, prices could rise still further.
This is partly due to a surge in demand from China and other emerging markets: the International Energy Agency last week warned there could be shortages in supply up until 2012.
While rival BP is expected to suffer a fall in profits due to production falls, and has been distracted by management turmoil, it will still make close to $9bn in the first six months of the year, or £284 a second.
The huge profits are expected to spark protests. Luke Bosdet, spokesman for the AA, said: ‘Motorists feel they are hostage to whims of the industry.’

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.
