瑞典伦丁能源提高石油产量预测

    中国石化新闻网讯 据OE网站1月28日消息：瑞典独立石油公司伦丁能源1月27日上调了其石油产量预测，并报告称，随着挪威最大油田Johan Sverdrup增产，2020年四季度收益高于预期。

    伦丁公司在可再生能源投资中增加了植树项目，预计将在2025年实现碳中和，比其原定的2030年目标有所提前。

    该公司息税前利润从去年同期的3.825亿美元升至4.881亿美元，超过了Refinitiv分析师调查的4.282亿美元。

    该公司股价早盘上涨3.5%，至234瑞典克朗(27.91美元)。

    伦丁计划今年日产17万至19万桶石油当量，并从2023年起将其提高至20万桶以上，高于去年的16.45万桶，也高于此前从2021年起日产17万至18万桶的目标。

    同时，Sverdrup的运营商挪威国家石油公司(Equinor)宣布，到2021年年中，将该油田的产能从去年年底的50万桶/天提高到53.5万桶/天。

    该公司的勘探支出将从去年的1.53亿美元增加到2021年的2.6亿美元，并希望通过8口探井发现约3亿桶油当量。

    伦丁表示将支付2020年每股1.8美元的股息，即5.12亿美元，高于去年的1美元，恢复到大流行之前计划的派息水平。

    伦丁的碳中和目标包括其自身运营和能源使用的排放，即范围1和范围2的排放，以及其产品使用的部分排放，或范围3与供应链相关的排放。

    Lundin Energy Lifts Oil Output Forecast

    Swedish independent oil company Lundin Energy raised its output forecast on Thursday and reported stronger than expected fourth-quarter earnings as Norway's largest oilfield Johan Sverdrup ramped up production.

    Lundin expects to achieve carbon neutrality for operational CO2 emissions from 2025, earlier than its original goal of 2030, after it added tree planting to its investment in renewable energy.

    Its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose to $488.1 million from $382.5 million for the same period a year ago, beating the $428.2 million seen in a Refinitiv poll of analysts.

    The company's shares rose 3.5% in early trade to 234 Swedish crowns ($27.91).

    Lundin plans to produce between 170,000-190,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) this year and to raise that to more than 200,000 boepd from 2023, up from 164,500 last year and more than a previous goal of 170,000-180,000 from 2021 onwards.

    Equinor, the operator of Sverdrup, simultaneously announced an increase of the field's output capacity to 535,000 barrels of oil per day by mid-2021, up from 500,000 at the end of last year.

    Lundin's exploration spending will rise to $260 million in 2021 from $153 million last year and it hopes to find around 300 million boepd from eight exploration wells, the company said.

    "I am confident that we can continue to grow (our) resources," Chief Executive Nick Walker said in a statement.

    On Wednesday, the company said it would pay a dividend of $1.8 per share for 2020, or $512 million, up from $1 in the previous year, reverting to the payout level it planned before the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Lundin's carbon neutrality target covers emissions from its own operations and energy use, known as Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, as well as some of those from use of its products, or Scope 3 emissions that are related to its supply chain.
