中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社8月17日报道，油田服务公司亨廷公司（Hunting Plc）周四公布，其上半年利润下降63%，原因是该公司客户由于冠状病毒引发的燃料需求锐减而控制了支出，不过该公司预计市场在第四季度将有所改善。 今年以来，原油价格下跌了30%以上，不过已经从4月份的历史性暴跌中恢复过来。 该公司执行长Jim Johnson表示：“随着油价上涨，询价水平有所改善，美国陆上市场的部分地区显示，我们的客户正采取谨慎措施逐步重启业务。” 为油气勘探生产提供多种工具和解决方案的亨廷公司宣布第二次中期股息为每股2美分，并预计通过成本削减计划每年可节省约6200万美元。 这家伦敦上市公司的客户包括哈里伯顿(Halliburton)和雪佛龙(Chevron Corp.)。该公司表示，今年上半年，息税折旧及摊销前利润从上年同期的7740万美元锐减至2840万美元。 王佳晶 摘译自 路透社 原文如下： Oilfield services group Hunting Plc (HTG.L) reported a 63% drop in first-half profit on Thursday as its clients reined in spending due to the coronavirus-led crash in fuel demand, although it expects the market to improve in the fourth quarter. Crude oil prices are down more than 30% for the year, though they have recovered from a historic decline in April. “Enquiry levels have improved with the increasing average oil price and areas of the U.S. onshore market indicate that the mid-point of the year could have been the bottom of the cycle, with cautious steps being taken by our clients to incrementally restart operations,” Chief Executive Officer Jim Johnson said. Hunting, which manufactures a wide range of tools and solutions used in oil and gas exploration, declared a second interim dividend of 2 cents per share and said it was expecting to save about $62 million annually from its cost-cutting program. The London-listed firm, whose clients include Halliburton (HAL.N) and Chevron Corp (CVX.N), said underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization plunged to $28.4 million for the six months ended June 30 from $77.4 million a year earlier. |
