The firm also declared a dividend of $18.8 billion for the second quarter of 2021, which will be paid in the third.
The financial results were primarily due to higher oil prices and a recovery in global demand, supported by the easing of COVID-related restrictions, vaccination campaigns, and stimulus measures across the world.
