Shell quarterly profits above analyst estimates

Another record profit by Big Oil. Shell raked in £1.5 million in profit per hour ($2.8M) last quarter to smash last years Q1 numbers and come in 10% above the analysts estimates. All of this and they still had to deal with continuing problems in Nigeria and the Gulf of Mexico, both of which disrupted their supply but not to worry because I'm sure the GOP somehow will find a way to give them taxpayer welfare to lessen the blow.
