Higher oil and refined products prices help drive sales and profits up oil supermajor Chevron in the third quarter, the firm said today.
Its revenues for the three months to the end of September was £38.2billion, compared to £30.2billion in the same period in 2010.
Pre-tax profits for the third quarter were £8.3billion compared to £4.2billion in the same period last year.
However, production was down 5% in the period.
Chevron operates two of the 10 largest producing fields during 2010 in the UK North Sea. It is also a partner in BP’s £4.5billion Clair Ridge project.
