The company's net profit attributable to shareholders rose by 23.4% year-on-year, reaching 85.8 billion yuan, approximately $12.9 billion. This performance was supported by higher oil prices and continued growth from its offshore fields.
Oil and gas sales revenue for CNOOC climbed by 20%, totaling 206.1 billion yuan. OilPrice.com reported that the primary factor contributing to this boost was the increase in crude prices. The company's average realized crude prices played a significant role in its financial results.
