Annual profits at Royal Dutch Shell have fallen to $27bn (£17bn), from $28.6bn in 2011.
Profits for the last three months of the year rose to $7.3bn, against $6.5bn, but Shell was hit by generally weaker oil and gas prices during 2012.
Peter Voser, chief executive of Europe’s biggest oil company, said 2012 was a year of “headwinds”.
But he added that Shell was “delivering a strategy that others can’t easily repeat”.
The Anglo-Dutch company pledged to push ahead with plans to deliver more oil and gas despite an uncertain outlook for some parts of the world economy.
Shell raised output during the year, with the company selling more gas than oil for the first time. The company is investing more in liquefied natural gas projects in Asia, and increased production at its huge Pearl gas-to-liquids plant in Qatar.

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.
