Opinion: Oil company profits and the ‘invisible hand’ of the market

Even the Wall Street Journal is getting into the act with headlines like “Chevron Rides High Oil Prices to Record $35.5 Billion Annual Profit” .

From a low of 9.9 million barrels of crude oil production in the U.S. in February 2021, oil companies revved up production to 12.3 million barrels in the last reporting period of November 2022. That’s an increase of almost 25% in about a year and a half.
