By GlobalDataHowever, TotalEnergies’ hydrocarbon production in the quarter dropped 3% to 2.747 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d). The figure also represents a 4% decrease from the first quarter 2021.
TotalEnergies chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné said: “In the second quarter, thanks to the progressive recovery of global demand and OPEC+ discipline, TotalEnergies benefited from oil and gas markets that were 13% and 28% higher respectively quarter to quarter.
“In this context, TotalEnergies reported $3.5bn of adjusted net income, a 15% increase compared to the first quarter 2021 and above the level of the pre-crisis second quarter 2019 which had a comparable oil price environment, notably thanks to the action plans implemented during the crisis.”
The company rebranded itself from Total to TotalEnergies during the quarter. The French firm has announced allocating part of surplus revenues to share buybacks.
Recently, TotalEnergies secured approval to develop the Ratawi natural gas project in Iraq. The company also reported another successful well in offshore Block 58 off the coast of Suriname.
