In a preliminary release of main indicators published Tuesday, TotalEnergies said that the variable cost margin for its European refining business had risen to $87.8 per tonne in the first quarter.
The latter compares with $46.3 per tonne in the same period a year earlier.
The company also said its hydrocarbon production would probably exceed 2.5 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day, as it benefits from the beginning of gas production on Block 10 in Oman and the acquisition of a stake in the SARB and Umm Lulu oil fields in the United Arab Emirates.
The oil giant is expected to report first-quarter results on April 27th.
