利润激增导致道达尔今年第二次提高油气生产目标

中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社7月26日巴黎报道，由于油价上涨带来利润激增，法国能源巨头道达尔公司今年第二次提高了油气生产目标，从而加速其从石油市场衰退中复苏的步伐。

虽然美国重新对伊朗实施制裁使道达尔公司在伊朗的天然气雄心勃勃计划受挫，但美国政府此举也推高了油价。从澳大利亚到北极的众多项目的启动以及一系列收购也给道达尔公司带来了不少好处。随着原油价格飙升至三年来的高点，道达尔公司公司第二季度利润大幅增长了44%。

道达尔公司周四在一份声明中表示：“公司上游部门已做好充分准备来利用油价上涨的机会。然而，道达尔公司仍将坚定地继续实施旨在提高运营效率和减少盈亏平衡的计划以便在任何情况下都能保持盈利。”

统计数据显示，道达尔公司第二季度平均每天生产了271.7 万桶油当量的石油和天然气，连续第二个季度创下最高记录。今年4月份，这家法国大公司把今年油气产量增长前景从4月份制定的6%以上目标上调到了7%以上。

Total raises production target as oil rally propels earnings

Total SA raised its production target for the second time this year, accelerating its emergence from an oil-market slump as rising prices deliver a surge in profit.

While the return of U.S. sanctions on Iran derailed the company’s gas ambitions there, the move also boosted oil prices just as Total reaped the benefits of project startups from Australia to the Arctic, plus a series of acquisitions. Profit climbed 44% last quarter as crude jumped to a three-year high.

“The upstream is well positioned to take advantage of the increase in oil prices,” Total said Thursday in a statement. “The group, however, resolutely continues to implement programs to improve operational efficiency and to reduce its break-even, so as to remain profitable whatever the context.”

Total pumped 2.717 MMbopd and associated gas in the period, setting a record for a second consecutive quarter. The French major boosted its production growth outlook for this year to more than 7%, having targeted more than 6% back in April.
