Big oil companies buy and sell promises for future oil, as well as physical barrels
oil. When prices suddenly spike, Exxon logs losses on paper trades and gets profits on physical sales, but the losses show up before the profits. So they're doing even better than the numbers make it seem. When CEO Darren Woods says he expects oil prices to rise further.

world supply of oil and natural gas, the market hasn't seen the full impact of that yet."
