Shell reported second-quarter net profit of $8.92 billion, more than double the level a year earlier and well ahead of market expectations. The company said higher oil and gas prices, stronger LNG and oil trading, and improved chemicals margins lifted earnings, partly offsetting lower sales volumes tied to disruptions to its Qatar operations during the conflict in the Middle East. Shell also said it would keep its share buyback programme at $3 billion per quarter.
