赫斯二季度亏损加剧 产量骤增

    中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸工程网站7月29日消息 美国石油和天然气生产商赫斯公司周三公布季度亏损更大，受油价下跌影响，COVID-19流感大流行影响全球能源需求。

    由于冠状病毒的封锁以及全球主要产油国之间的价格战使市场供应过剩，全球经济活动大幅下滑，原油价格在4月份跌至历史低点。

    赫斯表示，包括对冲在内的原油平均售价较上年同期下降35.4%，至每桶39.03美元。

    这家总部位于纽约的公司表示，在截至6月30日的第二季度，其净亏损为3.2亿美元，每股亏损1.05美元，而一年前亏损600万美元，每股亏损2美分。

    尽管原油价格暴跌，赫斯公司并没有削减产量，但该公司公布第二季度产量增长22%，达到33.4万桶油当量/天。

    赫斯在一份声明中称，这一增长是由于圭亚那近海的巴肯油田产量增长了39%。

    Hess' 2Q Loss Deepens. Oil Output Jumps

    U.S. oil and gas producer Hess Corp reported a bigger quarterly loss on Wednesday, hurt by lower oil prices as the COVID-19 pandemic sapped global energy demand.

    Crude prices sank to historic lows in April as economic activity plummeted across the world due to coronavirus lockdowns and a price war between the world's top producers flooded the market with excess supply.

    Hess said the average selling price of its crude oil, including hedges, fell 35.4% from a year earlier to $39.03 a barrel.

    The New York-based company said its net loss was $320 million, or $1.05 per share, in the second quarter ended June 30, compared with a loss of $6 million, or 2 cents per share, a year earlier.

    Hess, which did not curtail production despite the slump in crude prices, posted a 22% jump in second-quarter output to 334,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd).

    The jump was driven by a 39% increase in Bakken output and production from the Liza Field, offshore Guyana, Hess said in a statement.
