    LONDON -- Soaring petroleum prices are proving to be a bonanza for Big Oil, with Europe's two largest energy companies, BP PLC and Royal Dutch Shell PLC, reporting sharp rises in first-quarter profits.

    Shell posted a record quarterly net profit of $9.08 billion, up 25% from $7.28 billion a year earlier. BP's net profit rose 63% to $7.62 billion from $4.66 billion. Both companies' earnings easily beat analysts' forecasts, helped by an oil price that averaged above $90 a barrel during the first quarter, a 70% increase from a year earlier.
