Equinor, Norway’s state-owned oil and gas company, reported that its profits nearly doubled to $11.5 billion for the three-month period ending in June. This financial growth follows a strategic decision by the company to increase its oil and gas production levels.
The surge in earnings is attributed to a significant rise in global oil and gas prices. These market conditions have been influenced by ongoing geopolitical tensions, specifically the conflict involving Iran and the resulting blockades in the Strait of Hormuz.
