Oil market conditions are unpredictable, with a prevailing gloomy outlook on refining profitability, according to TotalEnergies.
First Quarter Results Showcase "Solid" Performance for TotalEnergies, Despite 33% Net Profit Drop
In the unfolding economic uncertainty since President Donald Trump's new tariffs, TotalEnergies' CEO deems their Q1 net profit of $3.9 billion as "solid." Boasting a near 4% growth in hydrocarbon production and a 18% surge in electricity production[1][2][3], the French energy giant highlights its robust results.
Despite the 33% dip in net profit, Patrick Pouyanné, the company's chairman and CEO, upholds an optimistic stance, stating "In an environment with overall equivalent prices to the fourth quarter, TotalEnergies shows solid results in the first quarter".
TotalEnergies anticipates a decrease in demand by 2025 and volatile oil markets due to global uncertainties. Pouyanné cautions, "In a context of geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties following the implementation of tariffs by the United States, the outlook for oil demand in 2025 is down". He predicts oil markets to fluctuate between $60 and $70 per barrel and refining and petrochemical margins to remain depressed[1].
