据油价网3月31日消息称，在去年席卷欧洲并蔓延到全球的能源危机中，私营大宗商品巨头维多公司在2022年获得了近150亿美元的利润。

这是彭博社的哈维尔·布拉斯今天在推特上引用的匿名知情人士的话。《金融时报》早些时候也报道了同样的数字，也引用了熟悉该公司财务业绩匿名消息人士的话。

英国《金融时报》的报道指出，2022年的盈利数字相当于维多此前6年的年收益总和。彭博社的布拉斯指出，2022年的盈利数据是维多此前记录的2021年的三倍。

维多的表现也比其商品交易同行好得多，尽管他们2022年的业绩也创下历史新高。该公司将强劲表现归因于电力市场、发电业务、炼油和液化天然气交易价格飙升。

维多本月早些时候表示，其2022年的营业额比去年翻了一番，达到5050亿美元。

Energy Trader Vitol More Than Tripled Its Profits In 2022

Privately held commodity major Vitol has raked in close to $15 billion in profits for 2022 amid the energy crisis that struck Europe and spread around the globe last year.

This is what Bloomberg’s Javier Blas tweeted today, quoting unnamed people in the know. The Financial Times had reported the same figure earlier, also citing unnamed sources familiar with the company’s financial performance.

The FT report noted that the 2022 profit figure was equal to Vitol’s combined annual earnings for the previous six years. Bloomberg’s Blas noted the 2022 earnings figure was three times higher than Vitol’s previous record, booked for 2021.

Vitol also did a lot better than its commodity trading peers, even though their 2022 results were also at record highs. The company attributed the strong performance to soaring prices in electricity markets, its power generation business, oil refining, and LNG trading.

Vitol said earlier this month that its turnover for 2022 had doubled from the previous year to reach $505 billion.
