Several Calgary-based energy companies are reporting a surge in earnings for the second quarter of 2022, yet analysts don't expect the energy boom to translate into an immediate rush of field jobs as companies recuperate from the financial toll extracted by the pandemic.

Suncor reported record-breaking earnings of $3.99 billion in the second quarter, more than quadruple the $868 million it earned in the same period of 2021.

"In the second quarter, MEG initiated its share buyback program and continued to make significant progress on debt reduction," said Derek Evans, president and CEO MEG Energy, during a call with investors on July 29. "I think what most companies are going to do is to pay down some debt, increase the dividends to back to about where they were before," said Bob Schulz, professor at the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary.

" they all took a pretty big beating through that period," said Kevin Birn, chief Canadian oil analyst for S&P Global Insights.
