全球七大石油公司在过去9个月减记870亿美元

    中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网8月14日报道，据《卫报》援引的气候金融智库碳跟踪公司的一项分析显示，在过去9个月里，随着大宗商品价格大幅下跌，全球七大石油公司从油气资产的价值中减记了870亿美元。

    据分析显示，仅在过去三个月，雪佛龙、壳牌、BP、道达尔、雷普索尔、埃尼和Equinor等公司就减记了550亿美元的资产价值。

    这些公司中有许多公布第二季度出现了亏损，当时因疫情封锁，全球石油需求暴跌了20％。除了美国超级巨头埃克森美孚(Exxon)以外，五大石油公司都在第二季度重新调整了石油和天然气资产的价值，由于油价暴跌，以及预期至少还会有几个季度需求低迷。

    壳牌修改了其价格假设和市场基本面后，计入了168亿美元的税后减损费用。由于削减了短期价格预期，道达尔计入了81亿美元的减值，其中70亿美元来自加拿大的油砂。

    Carbon Tracker的石油、天然气和采矿负责人安德鲁·格兰特（Andrew Grant）评论道达尔的减记时表示，道达尔现在已经认识到，该公司的一些石油和天然气资产不能作为世界脱碳产品生产，对于那些担心环境和投资风险的人来说，这是一个姗姗来迟但却值得欢迎的进展。

    Big Oil Wrote Down $87 Billion In Assets In Less Than One Year

    Seven of the largest oil companies in the world have written down a collective US$87 billion from the value of their oil and gas assets over the past nine months, as commodity prices slumped in the pandemic, an analysis by climate finance think-tank Carbon Tracker quoted by the Guardian showed.

    In the past three months alone, the companies Chevron, Shell, BP, Total, Repsol, Eni, and Equinor wrote down a total of US$55 billion off the value of their assets, the analysis showed.

    Many of those companies posted losses for the second quarter when global oil demand crashed by 20 percent due to the lockdowns in the pandemic. With the notable exception of U.S. supermajor Exxon, all five Big Oil recalibrated the value of their oil and gas assets in the second quarter due to the crash in oil prices and expectations of depressed demand for at least several more quarters.

    Shell booked an impairment charge of US$16.8 billion post-tax as it revised its price assumptions and market fundamentals. Total booked US$8.1 billion impairments – of which US$7 billion in Canada’s oil sands – as it cut its short-term price expectations.

    “Total has now recognised that some of its oil and gas assets cannot be produced as the world decarbonises, a belated but welcome development for those worried about risks to both the environment and their investments,” Andrew Grant, Carbon Tracker’s Head of Oil, Gas and Mining, said, commenting on Total’s write down.
