Shell beats forecasts as profits more than double

High oil and gas prices helped boost Shell's profits.

In the third quarter, the energy giant's underlying profits reached $8 billion.

The second quarter when it announced record figures was a different story.

The price of oil and gas went up after the invasion of Ukraine.

During the first half of the year, Shell reported a profit of $11.4 billion.

Energy prices have fallen back but are still high.

Shell has made more money in the first nine months of the year than it has in the entire year.

Households in the UK are facing high energy bills.

There is a windfall tax on energy companies. Most oil and gas companies only make a small portion of their profits in the UK.
