Companies such as BP and Shell do not simply produce and sell oil, they employ thousands of traders who buy and sell oil produced by other firms and make profit on fluctuations in its market price. The more volatile the market – as has been the case throughout 2022 – the higher the potential earnings.

BP made an estimated $1.3bn (£1.1bn) gas trading profits in the first three months of this year alone. When combined with a further $1.1bn (£900m) in liquids trading that accounted for around a third of its overall profits.
