Taqa profits surge on higher oil and gas prices and North Sea production

Higher oil and gas prices saw a surge in profits for the UAE state-owned energy firm Taqa.

The Abu Dhabi headquartered firm, which operates a host of UK North Sea assets, saw pre-tax profits more than double to £982million for the first nine months of 2021, up from £446m in the same period last year.

Revenues have, meanwhile, nearly tripled to £1.8billion from £629m.
