中国石化新闻网讯 据管道&天然气杂志网12月3日路透社报道，美国石油巨头雪佛龙公司（Chevron Corp）周四削减了数十亿美元的长期资本和勘探预算，尽管该公司试图应对油价暴跌并保持股息的情况下进行了重大重组。 面对石油需求和收入的大幅下滑，石油巨头今年已冲销了约800亿美元的资产价值，并削减产量和裁员数千人以节省资金。 雪佛龙表示，预计到2025年的总资本和勘探预算在140亿-160亿美元之间，远低于此前多达220亿美元的预测。 其限制新石油项目支出，明年支出保持不变，并比上次预测削减约60亿美元的举措表明，该公司预计能源价格将在未来数内保持低位。 该公司在详细介绍其2021年140亿美元的预算时说，将在勘探和生产方面投入115亿美元，在炼油相关业务方面投入21亿美元。 加拿大皇家银行资本市场的Biraj Borkhataria表示，雪佛龙2021年在二叠纪盆地的投资为20亿美元，是其2020年初计划的一半，低于2019年36亿美元的水平。他补充说，该公司一直在履行其最近的信息，即“更低的资本支出，更长的资本支出”。 尽管削减了整体预算，该公司表示，从2022年开始，由于哈萨克斯坦项目所需的预期资金减少，可能会增加对二叠纪盆地和墨西哥湾的投资。 其美国竞争对手埃克森美孚周一表示，到2025年将把支出增加到超过今年230亿美元的水平，这与因资本纪律而受到赞誉的雪佛龙形成鲜明对比。 早盘交易中，雪佛龙股价上涨约1%，至90.72美元。 郝芬 译自 管道&天然气杂志网 原文如下： Chevron Tightens Belt Again with Billions in Spending Cuts U.S. oil major Chevron Corp on Thursday cut billions off its long-term capital and exploratory budget even after a major restructuring of its operations as it tries to ride out a collapse in oil prices and preserve its dividend. Oil majors have written off around $80 billion in asset values this year, cut output and laid off thousands of staff to save money in the face of a sharp decline in oil demand and revenue. Chevron said it expects total capital and exploratory budget through 2025 to be between $14 billion and $16 billion, well below the prior forecast of up to $22 billion. Its move to restrain spending on new oil projects, hold outlays flat next year and cut about $6 billion from last forecast was a sign it expects low energy prices for years. Detailing its 2021 budget of $14 billion, the company said it will spend $11.5 billion on exploration and production and $2.1 billion for refining related operations. Chevron's 2021 Permian basin spending of $2 billion is half of what it planned at the start of 2020 and lower than 2019 levels of $3.6 billion, said Biraj Borkhataria from RBC Capital Markets, adding that the company has been true to its recent message of "lower for longer capex". Despite the cut to the overall budget, the company said starting 2022 it was likely to raise investments in the Permian basin and the Gulf of Mexico, helped by an anticipated drop in capital needed for a Kazakhstan project. In contrast with Chevron, which has been praised for its capital discipline, its U.S. rival Exxon Mobil Corp on Monday said by 2025, it will boost expenditures above this year's $23 billion level. Chevron shares were up about 1% at $90.72 in early morning trade. |
