中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯12月4日消息，西班牙能源公司雷普索尔公司称，由于全球向低碳经济转型使得石油和天然气的价格前景变得黯淡，该公司正进行数十亿美元的资产价值减记。 雷普索尔公司由此成为首家承认资产价值降低与一种长期观点有关的主要油气企业。这种观点认为，向碳密度较低的能源转型会导致石油和天然气的价值降低。 雷普索尔公司称，上述资产减值不会影响对股东的现金付款，但可能会提高公司的杠杆比率。该公司资产减值规模总计超过50亿美元，将会在明年2月公布的第四财季业绩中得到体现。 该公司在一份声明中称∶“这次估值调整将主要影响位于美国和加拿大的勘探和生产资产，源于对未来天然气价格的预期降低。” 过去几年，能源公司一直在重新评估他们的资产价值，尤其是美国的资产。美国的天然气价格处在历史低位。英国石油公司(BP)最新公布的业绩中包括了一笔26亿美元的减值费用，主要来自以低于资产负债表的价格出售美国资产。 唐绍红 摘译自 道琼斯 原文如下： Spanish Energy Giant Repsol Writes Down Oil, Gas Assets Spanish energy company Repsol SA said it is cutting the value of its assets by billions of dollars because the global transition to a lower carbon economy is weakening the outlook for oil and gas prices. Repsol's move is the first by a major oil and gas player acknowledging a lower value of its assets was linked to a long-term view that a transition to less carbon-intensive energy will make oil and natural gas less valuable. The impairment charge won't impact cash payments to shareholders, the company said, but it is likely to increase the company's market cap-to-debt ratio, known as gearing. The charge, totaling more than $5 billion, is set to show up in the company's fourth-quarter results due in February. "This valuation adjustment will mainly affect exploration and production assets located in the United States of America and Canada due to the reduction in the expectations of future gas prices," said the company in a statement. Energy companies have been reassessing the value of their assets, particularly in the U.S., where natural gas prices have been historically low, for the past couple of years. BP PLC's last set of results included a $2.6 billion impairment charge, mostly from selling U.S. assets at lower prices than it had on its balance sheet.
