中国石化新闻网讯 据今日石油2019年12月11日报道，雪佛龙公司周三宣布了一项200亿美元的2020年有机资本和勘探支出计划。2020年的预算将支持雪佛龙公司在二叠纪盆地的世界级地位，在哈萨克斯坦TCO的主要资本项目以及在墨西哥湾得天独厚的深水机会的强有力的上游和下游投资组合。 雪佛龙公司董事长兼首席执行官迈克尔·沃思说：“通过投资于我们投资组合中回报率最高、风险最低的项目，我们将雪佛龙公司定位为在任何环境下都能赢的公司。这将是连续第三年有机资本支出维持在200亿美元不变，继续我们的资本自律。我们对短期投资的重视有望带来更高的资本回报率和更强的长期自由现金流。” 由于雪佛龙公司对资本配置的严格要求以及对较长期大宗商品价格前景的向下修正，该公司将减少对各种与天然气有关机会的投资，包括阿巴拉契亚页岩、基蒂马特液化天然气和其他国际项目。雪佛龙正在评估这些资产的战略选择，包括撤资。此外，修正后的油价前景导致墨西哥湾深水项目Big Foot项目出现减值。在2019年第四季度的财报中，扣除100亿至110亿美元的减免税支出后，这些行动预计将产生非现金收入，其中一半以上与阿巴拉契亚页岩有关。 沃思继续说：“我们认为，资本的最佳用途是投资于我们最具优势的资产。有了资本纪律和保守的前景，我们就有责任做出必要的艰难选择，为股东带来更高的长期现金回报。” 李峻 编译自 今日石油 原文如下： Chevron to plug US$20 billion into 2020 capital, exploration budget Chevron Corporation on Wednesday announced a 2020 organic capital and exploratory spending program of $20 billion. The 2020 budget supports a robust portfolio of upstream and downstream investments, highlighted by the company’s world-class Permian Basin position, its major capital project at TCO in Kazakhstan, and an advantaged queue of deepwater opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico. “We are positioning Chevron to win in any environment by ratably investing in the highest return, lowest risk projects in our portfolio. This will be the third consecutive year with organic capital spending held flat at $20 billion, continuing our capital discipline through the cycle. Our emphasis on short cycle investments is expected to deliver improved returns on capital and stronger free cash flow over the long-term,” said Chevron Chairman and CEO Michael Wirth. As a result of Chevron’s disciplined approach to capital allocation and a downward revision in its longer-term commodity price outlook, the company will reduce funding to various gas-related opportunities including Appalachia shale, Kitimat LNG, and other international projects. Chevron is evaluating its strategic alternatives for these assets, including divestment. In addition, the revised oil price outlook resulted in an impairment at Big Foot. Combined, these actions are estimated to result in non-cash, after tax impairment charges of $10 billion to $11 billion in its fourth quarter 2019 results, more than half related to the Appalachia shale. “We believe the best use of our capital is investing in our most advantaged assets,” Wirth continued. “With capital discipline and a conservative outlook comes the responsibility to make the tough choices necessary to deliver higher cash returns to our shareholders over the long term.” |
