[1/2] U.S. President Joe Biden arrives at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base in Mattydale, New York, U.S., October 27, 2022. REUTERS/Evelyn HocksteinSYRACUSE, N.Y., Oct 27 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden blasted Shell plc (SHEL.L) on Thursday for funneling profits to shareholders rather than lowering gas prices, after the British oil giant said it would boost its dividend and buy back shares. Shell earlier on Thursday said its third-quarter profit was a near-record $9.45 billion, as it sharply boosted its dividend by 15% and announced plans to buy $4 billion more of stock over the next three months.

HOUSTON, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) shares passed their all-time high on Friday as oil prices resumed their climb and analysts raised their long-term views of top U.S. oil producer's cash flow and earnings outlook. The stock hit $105.95 early Friday, above the prior record high close of $104.59 from June 8. The strategy paid this year as an international oil supply crunch accelerated by sanctions against Russia made oil prices hit 14-highs.

HOUSTON, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) shares passed their all-time high on Friday as oil prices resumed their climb and analysts raised their long-term views of top U.S. oil producer's cash flow and earnings outlook. The stock hit $106.40 on Friday before closing at $105.86, above the prior record high close of $104.59 from June 8. The strategy paid this year as an international oil supply crunch accelerated by sanctions against Russia made oil prices hit 14-highs.

SYDNEY, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Shell Energy Australia, global oil and gas major Shell Plc's (SHEL.L) renewable energy business in the country, and AMPYR Australia (AMPYR) signed an agreement to develop a battery energy storage system, the companies said on Friday. The proposed 500 megawatt (MW) battery project will be built in the central west region of Australia's New South Wales (NSW) state, Singapore-based renewable energy firm AMPYR said. "(This) will be one of the largest battery storage projects in NSW, contributing to the reliability of the national electricity market and further advancing Australia's clean energy future," AMPYR Director Ben Salmon said. The environmental impact statement of the battery energy storage system project is expected to be released for public consultation later this month. Battery energy storage is essential for preventing blackouts — amid coal-fired plants being retired in Australia — as it can absorb energy during the day when prices are cheap and release the energy when wind and solar power are not available, typically when prices are higher.
Exxon says it will transport and store underground 2 million metric tons of CO2 per year produced starting in 2025, when CF Industries opens a $200 million CO2 compression facility in Louisiana to process emissions from its ammonia production. He declined to comment on financial terms of the deal with CF Industries. Exxon signed a parallel agreement to use Enlink Midstream's network to transport the CO2 to the storage site. While critics view carbon sequestration as greenwashing by polluters, Exxon says the business can achieve double-digit percentage returns while limiting planet-warming gases. The Louisiana initiative is part of the company's planned $15 billion investment by 2027 in low carbon operations.
ADELAIDE, Australia—Energy companies committed to direct more natural gas to Australian consumers when shortages flare, neutralizing a threat that the government would impose caps on exports to Asia and other major markets.
