伍德赛德一季度收入下滑 产量上升

据今日海上能源网站4月16日消息 澳大利亚伍德赛德石油公司今年第一季度的收入出现下滑。

该液化天然气巨头公布称，本季度的销售收入为10.7亿美元，比2019年相应季度的13.6亿美元低21.1%，也比上季度14亿美元的销售收入低23.6%。

该季度产量为2420万桶油当量，比去年同期增长12%。

伍德赛德首席执行官Peter Coleman表示，尽管飓风和COVID-19的影响，产量仍在上升。

Peter Coleman说：“今年2月穿越澳大利亚西部海岸的热带气旋达米恩是伍德赛德位于伯鲁普半岛的生产设施上空有史以来最重要的天气事件。”

他补充说：“尽管如此，由于COVID-19以及供过于求和短期需求破坏的空前结合，该季度的收入受到了交易活动减少和现货价格下降的影响。“

因此，伍德赛德将其2020年的支出削减了50%，并推迟了对其斯卡伯勒和普拉托液化天然气2号生产线开发项目的最终投资决定。

Peter Coleman补充称，该公司在本季度已经接手了多个项目，这些项目包括塞内加尔的Sangomar油田一期和西北大陆架的Greater Western Flank 三期。公司还推进了Pyxis Hub和Julimar-Brunello二期项目的实施。

伍德赛德预计2020年的支出约为24亿美元。

伍德赛德修订的2020年投资支出指南为17-19亿美元，生产指导值保持在0.97-1.03亿桶油当量不变。

伍德赛德计划于2020年9月在西北陆架液化天然气设施的3号生产线上进行维护工作。该公司将NWS液化天然气4号生产线的检修推迟至2021年8月。

Woodside’s Q1 revenue slips, production up

Australia’s Woodside Petroleum saw its revenue slip in the first quarter of the year.

The LNG major reported sales revenue of $1.07 billion for the quarter under review. This is 21.1 percent below the $1.36 billion from the corresponding quarter in 2019. It is also 23.6 percent below the $1.40 billion in sales revenue from the previous quarter.

The production for the quarter reached 24.2 mmboe, 12 percent higher than the corresponding period last year.

Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said the production was up despite cyclone activity and COVID-19 impacts.

“Tropical Cyclone Damien, which crossed the Western Australian coast in February, was the most significant weather event ever to pass over Woodside’s production facilities on the Burrup Peninsula,” Coleman said.

“Nevertheless, revenue for the quarter was impacted by reduced trading activity and lower realised prices due to COVID-19 and an unprecedented combination of oversupply and short-term demand destruction,” he added.

As a result, Woodside slashed its 2020 spending by 50 percent and delayed final investment decision on its Scarborough and Pluto LNG Train 2 developments.

Coleman added that the company has taken FID on a number of projects during the quarter. These projects include Sangomar field Phase 1 in Senegal and the North West Shelf’s Greater Western Flank Phase 3. The company also progressed the execution of Pyxis Hub and Julimar-Brunello Phase 2 projects.

Woodside expects its expenditure for 2020 to be approximately $2,4 billion.

Woodside’s revised investment expenditure guidance for 2020 is $1.7 – 1.9 billion. Woodside’s production guidance remains unchanged at 97 – 103 mmboe.

Woodside scheduled maintenance works at the North West Shelf LNG facility’s Train 3 for September 2020. The company deferred the NWS LNG Train 4 turnaround to August 2021.
