Oil giant's huge rise in profits
Updated on 30 October 2008
Oil giant Royal Dutch Shell has joined the profits bonanza from record prices with a 71% jump in third-quarter earnings.
The firm made a mammoth 10.9 billion US dollars (£6.6 billion) between July and September - a period when oil prices hit a peak above 147 dollars a barrel.
The news, which is likely to spark fresh calls for a windfall tax, comes two days after rival BP posted its biggest-ever quarterly profits of £6.4 billion.
