• The figure of nearly $3,000 per second is a PROJECTION for 2026, not actual historical profits. The exact figure cited by Oxfam is $2,967 per second. The six companies are Chevron, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, and TotalEnergies. Three are American (Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil), confirming 'half of which are American'. The Oxfam report appears to have been published in 2026, before or around the session date of April 29, 2026. The MEP did not specify this is a forward-looking projection rather than current realized profits.
