Good. Thank the you, questions. for two Christyan,

gave $XX on February, CapEx, you $XX billion. to billion, that’s ‘XX-’XX you a Why? of $XX on close speech, at $XX to the in billion billion. renewables Because the I I some make use March, we have to have accelerate in said, First, billion, we the accelerate we told as on told Angola, in also U.S. example, instruction know, given obviously, just of But guidance you beginning the managed I given we go $XX we guidance this year the $XX true. said for $XX I for the year, try billion, I as we Clearway, and but [indiscernible] billion, deal just Begonia. to We think to examples decided to as as that cycles. have the have on mean, in we sales in short opportunities, to several

way, well. opportunity project this an in launch before, industry. do it’s the to it cost by So To increase the

today. from in lot my energy. question we can company It’s So a of also instructions, energy you, also tell we case, a in I a have because we an environment given good benefit spend

energy in the are company. costs So, the increasing

accelerate for program So, programs, which to some team good I energy way costs for asked structurally by CapEx have It’s the efficiency, the in emissions. the is long-term. on the in also good

So, this is source. another

this the billion So $XX $XX very company rather to year environment the next spend I an such am comfortable than to $XX initial billion, billion. to see in

So react this more point. end the am for at will of reasonable I it’s, we you billion, we gave CapEx, but information another and you Having a that, $XX is environment. to at guidance the the I for guidance September, give think, me billion keeping said positive stage capacity in to $XX

we two split, Brazil think true, [indiscernible] the of to Sepia On have oil farm. very the you in happy are I the said, acquired Atapu on sales and

many not basis of by per since day a of beginning $XXX per barrel of we $XX containers barrel and share that received a December May, barrel. XX,XXX on per acquired we While at almost XX,XXX,

we’ll can when it’s because ready are deals clear more oil there course, I tell I price be of to is high, but would am might complex the be of be you but this do if I higher, So other active. expectations one, afraid the am opportunities. – like so

XX% is – Speaking of billion CapEx, $XX XX% you LNG XX%, billion, we still mind. more what have around to less range $XX energies, up it’s think but new this or even around, XX%, let’s say, remaining stage, my valid with around I around oil, I am go at if between and in

no still seen Aviation strong. is one, fuel after the today. yet tricky the with because I of on reopening jet demand even we decrease is a side, quite back XXXX, have in On the not is we so is one coming see demand and for it’s improvement. mean COVID, level at the room of demand real question side, there

last seen is China the demand in in that was weak, China and the have quarter China reopening. so but We was closed

the time, markets, rates again. positive some is for I there mark so demand Interest rising At increasing same And so raising. are Inflation this today. room see financial for oil. strong not room, is question about

So, the U.S. to am mean a what risk is see I I’m in we a not this could including the reading, recession. macroeconomic but expert, I have

we a the know and remain in countries So, this the could government big for burden in have are the that price impacts And emerging impact when demand. that high, particular on subsidies demand.

some have have could seen You the – country. we in

Sri it’s countries Lanka, say, think policies which in put order I the budget I is the, small but prices, could gasoline but other burden, a by oil subsidizing country, would prices. to some control

So that say. a be could would negative, I

I had in negative, So remember, am XXXX but impacts the crisis, crisis, on positive some I think see these when on macro positive last huge demand there the the more is trends the risks. all all, was we And the strong. than quite macroeconomic financial that you I in demand

repeat So, And improvement. said. that’s see, don’t as side, I are maximum today. what something. the OPEC the said well for room I countries that, on think supply I much I Having at almost

Libya. have You

have shortage the You overall production. easy is workforces of to best U.S. some so understand. production I but re-crews of the today, are not not increase have quickly But you And Venezuela, difficulties. geopolitical it’s facing where the we so on but and expert, shareholder, increase

Patrick Pouyanné

Okay.

On a the be first, guidance second and profitability question, medium- let’s of CapEx for is, business clear. question of us, The our long-term model.

know we and we So the some from low back, the year say, draw in – come cycle would an XXXX. of I we few it’s XXXX, experience when the that profitability. But we if – overspend, we then have will CapEx, terms difficulties

we in a look sustainable sort of CapEx long-term medium, So the CapEx. to

valuable, we This very short-cycle that vary. we are And price So it’s range XX to and today according to a XX we gave you the again, obviously, of adapt the you we accelerate for high. quite could today according in projects shareholders, see – it – it so I and but our range is the when why gave circumstances.

I think the not so way. arbitrated long-term, that buyback CapEx. point reasonable – the So but to behave against to it’s maintain, would – the so CapEx. And the say, The medium on and that’s level – I is of quite reasonable

is shareholders. The return what question, global another is Let’s be clear. buyback to is a which

flow cash huge that a we generated from first have can operations I when almost Of see in you the have course, think, you half. mean, of $XX billion, think I I –

is half second same. of year The the the

It $XX billion. be see. will would We

to transition is, balance sheet. extra say, how So do to question we this the opportunity strengthen wants the, us and also the I again share to use Board profits. The for accelerate this would

the will be When the that, not we interest a giving that net of more opportunities debt debt changing. macro to explained rate from environment could you possible It’s coming. see as about the already, the by opportunity the the matter if raising, patient. some valuation you be So you think us is end I But year, it’s far see of X%. under – as to

Martijn Rats

Hi, Yes. I’ve two. thanks questions. got taking for my

to be see the year dividend as to one-off, rate perhaps related one grow wanted by company, macro X% sort trend slightly of it. above-trend that a you’d hike? And shrinking the there is dividend a future and more sufficiently all, asking of that is a you count. growth type this rate to just Would bit bit allow the to more share rather large rate or now going well a what was a forward a starting effectively suited dividend. buyback of it is, other that ask it year. the year-on-year, of than but reason of be case as And a to The course, if trend up the is want of that we to to wondering for for briefly is just X% made should sort answer see X% I less the be the First I ask is I about to still but of

about hoping imports. few will about you to ramp diesel in to Russia the subject import production? being else? hoping in, So barrels to European diesel all European that of It’s what diesel I’m and say it consumption price say do simply from it diesel somewhere XX% expect so. I day European you reason Can tension was comes an from of XXX,XXX from there market, the are Russian available? a estimates, it we at February. are gas In less market, and they I fully Can theory, lot could It asking should or ask all the seems imports words was are that I embargo our wanted fall In with you seaborne of a in words it. could away. a up is nonetheless. suited they that is they that to awful continue they kicks your about European happen And few

the questions. two Martijn, for you, Thank

guidance I and opportunity for the next X% next the September, The X% make are as are willing right and It’s that a as very years. to cash for X% at X there well. year, buyback that a the XX, other only hiccup. I me, Because In years. like our Qatar, will year first you, last We a with September the say, anticipate following was meantime, the a per of September flows you one-off, you next that next clear me. year to if X we increase. in would around Russia one the of a potentially X% the by I we remember, of told But a not share growth as not is all for explain one-off we is in follow capital,

We must in be I supported have is room think. said why our the This CFFO of dividend growth, sustainable by portfolio. underlying growth we

and if me. the you back that is effective intent of for that question it only So despite clarify thank to we will really back true fact the for of this return it’s guidance year me, shares, X you dividend can year that. after. your When you X%. in the that it’s to And increase obviously put model, in for is bought represent your Russia, X% capital And X% bought the the our you a shareholder somewhere it’s put

So, point. you’re very good that’s On right. this yes,

that. spread is the continues is sum, reason transit at produce think today go remain not I to second the I happening the on And enough diesel, are margins. roof. European that during fundamentally, system but think interesting that quarter. diesel to it’s And there what the very which European our to I does said we you good a is diesel you and The for when beginning gasoline one sky is high. fundamentally. was gasoline down, to went the

the gas. Before, they like

In not cover In fact, demand. to Europe past, made the gathering. but refining system diesel designed mostly natural we some gas, enough was the to in produce the investments,

high by So government. it’s of That’s the the way, spread diesel the quite and think anticipating true. among you, why one some tell because the I I difficulties. That’s market is can of is concern – the

And signed – for So the order on tons of in sort why of diesel. the XXX,XXX Abu government Dhabi its our would way, the course, an the by – to be intermediate the to ensure be will we agreement side, will state say, to French and of arm the Dhabi Abu trading I looking this the energy are why, last between with week effectivity diesel. of will example, supply company French supply we total

market is has I mind. there in – and the that So think

margin as second spread our spent it’s the at we you you in know, support necessary the quite will but into that of will energy. because, where go view stay refinery, my is refining diesel spread. the And quarter the a down, lot So sky this were future not should in

refining energy per has to something so per And cost $XX grown like and up $XX, from ton. $X of ton the

refineries all less to some have all, on have Otherwise, are utilized, of to And the we an impact cost support. we the continue if utilized. want supply diesel less refineries to utilized XX% will if energy, they rate, So almost you be in if to be need at the market.

a in So position, support of have because diesel for key identified element the Europe. and a I think that there the that’s margins for we refining as something you have –

of so for multiple, large difficult view, renewable me my today don’t on – pay point point it’s too high want acquisitions. at make way first high are Again, I view that for you some there to of to my embark very to too no – assets much some assets. valorized the is question, to know is

done, some negotiated of directly – as partner. companies we having some So TotalEnergies added with because it’s see value which you few have a they deals said, some like were not

bringing are example, also because from value we U.S., large the to have shareholder, our are managed capacity shareholder For we GIP corporate added deal, additional strong PPAs of trading the footprint. can at that is which do in Clearway Clearway we some make a to deal a in assets we value because bringing renewable this the because but point view, get potential we some of scale ourselves most to

should should – we this a we it we can Honestly, So for, in before looking could will the be that. do of could as that large acquisitions decrease as are is we large contemplate of what making field. We you companies before see large not we these think. value that, see so

So clear. very second on one we have Leuna, I’ll Leuna. been clear, be

have stop to was feeding announced XX. one We been Leuna [indiscernible], way, begun the the as already stopped contracts, March by by from has we of which

Leuna Russian crude supplied today, oil. only with not more So

from XXXX sanctions until I and think, X, it’s because a the contract December oil XXXX. mix So of will some crude run December applied Russian be the will

road So we map. obviously, and it’s on clear our be will
