Crude isn’t that high yet, but spending is much lower, meaning there’s more money to return to investors.“Over the past decade, oil and gas companies have had to trim the fat,” said Laura Hoy, an equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. These leaner firms are benefiting the most from the current rally, especially as “elevated oil prices look like they’re here to stay.”The five supermajors mostly surpassed analyst expectations for fourth-quarter earnings, reporting combined free cash flow of $37 billion, when Brent crude averaged almost $80 a barrel. That compares to $40 billion in the first quarter of 2008, when the average was $96.Their adjusted net income also soared to $31 billion, the highest quarter in more than 9 years.It’s quite a u-turn for an industry that was enduring ballooning debt and crashing commodity prices as the coronavirus pandemic unfolded in 2020. At the end of that year, the five majors together lost almost $19 billion.Yet companies spent much of 2020 aggressively cutting costs, announcing tens of thousands of layoffs and in some cases slashing dividends. That positioned them well for 2021, when the slump turned into a remarkable rally.The outlook this year also looks bullish. Demand is increasing but supply remains “rather constrained” after years of under-investment, according to TotalEnergies’ Chief Executive Officer Patrick Pouyanne.“You could see a world where, because of a lack of investment, even though the energy transition is accelerating oil prices are much, much higher,” said BP CEO Bernard Looney.All five firms are holding the line on spending, with only relatively small increases in budgets for the year. Exxon and Chevron will boost investment in shale production in the Permian Basin, but this will largely offset production declines elsewhere in their portfolios. For BP, incremental spending will mostly be directed at low-carbon businesses.That means more surplus cash for investors.“We see plenty of room to increase shareholder distributions from current levels if commodity strength persists,” said RBC’s Co-Head of European Energy Research Biraj Borkhataria.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9095062285,"gmtCreate":1644790157047,"gmtModify":1676533960485,"author":{"id":"4101948424484190","authorId":"4101948424484190","name":"Success88","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/4408e1a22d73e99adb53aa65dde8ad91","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b0a2963eb37c60c5d6d4a8dbcd266952","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"4101948424484190","idStr":"4101948424484190"},"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9095062285","repostId":1161385016,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9095068006,"gmtCreate":1644789453583,"gmtModify":1676533960422,"author":{"id":"3559581955535845","authorId":"3559581955535845","name":"koolgal","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c05274d88ffc0434623e57350c52c70a","vip":2,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a8758340a08196056f8bc1e54805193","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"authorIdStr":"3559581955535845","idStr":"3559581955535845"},"htmlText":"Demand for oil is hitting all time high and Big Oil Companies are enjoying mega profits.&nbsp; You can possibly consider investing in&nbsp;<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/XLE\">$Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$</a>&nbsp;to enjoy the boom! 🚀🚀🚀🌙🌙🌙💰💰💰","listText":"Demand for oil is hitting all time high and Big Oil Companies are enjoying mega profits.&nbsp; You can possibly consider investing in&nbsp;<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/XLE\">$Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$</a>&nbsp;to enjoy the boom! 🚀🚀🚀🌙🌙🌙💰💰💰","text":"Demand for oil is hitting all time high and Big Oil Companies are enjoying mega profits.
