中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社8月21日报道，澳大利亚石油搜索公司（Australia’s Oil Search Ltd）周二公布半年度利润下降近40%。此前，巴布亚新几内亚发生地震，导致产量下降，成本上升，该公司液化天然气项目的生产中断了六个星期。 截至今年6月份的6个月里，该公司净利润从去年的1.291亿美元降至7920万美元。这仍然超过了加拿大皇家银行估计的6700万美元。 石油搜索公司是埃克森美孚（ExxonMobil Corp）运营的巴布亚新几内亚液化天然气项目的合伙人，该项目曾在2月26日该国发生7.5级地震中受到影响。 今年4月，石油搜索公司将全年产量指标下调至2300-2600万桶（mmboe），并在7月份表示，石油产量正朝着该指标的上端发展。 周二，该公司将2018年的产量指标提高到2400-2600万桶（mmboe），这得益于4月中旬恢复生产的巴布亚新几内亚液化天然气项目。 该公司表示，由于产量下降，截至6月30日的半年单位生产成本为每桶14.04美元，高于去年的8.52美元。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下: Oil Search posts sharp HY profit decline, after PNG quake hits output Australia’s Oil Search Ltd reported a near 40 percent fall in half-year profit on Tuesday, hurt by lower output and higher costs after an earthquake in Papua New Guinea halted production at a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project for six weeks. Net profit fell to $79.2 million for the six months to June from $129.1 million last year. That still topped an estimate of $67 million by Royal Bank of Canada. Oil Search is a partner in the PNG LNG project, run by ExxonMobil Corp, where production was halted after a 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit the country’s rugged highlands on Feb. 26, triggering landslides and flattening buildings. More than 145 people died. Oil Search cut its full-year production guidance in April to 23-26 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) and in July said production was heading towards the upper end of that guidance. On Tuesday, it upgraded its 2018 output guidance to 24-26 mmboe, helped by a recovery in the performance of the PNG LNG plant, which resumed production in mid-April. Total unit production costs for the half year to June 30 came in at $14.04 per barrel of oil equivalent (boe), up from $8.52/boe last year, due to weaker output, the company said. |
