澳大利亚桑托斯季度收入与产量均下滑

据世界天然气网站4月23日消息 澳大利亚天然气生产商和GLNG运营商桑托斯（Santos）报告称，受石油和天然气价格暴跌的影响，收入减少了13%。

桑托斯1-3季度的销售收入从一年前的10.2亿美元下降到8.83亿美元。

这家澳大利亚公司在此期间产量为1790万桶油当量，低于去年的1840万桶油当量。

桑托斯周四表示，英国液化天然气平均价格为8.88美元/每百万英热单位，上年同期为10.79美元/每百万英热单位。

然而，库珀盆地、GLNG终端和固定价格合同的强劲天然气产量帮助桑托斯公司保持信心，相信它能抵御疫情造成的需求下滑。

桑托斯负责人凯文·加拉赫表示：“我们正在采取果断行动，确保桑托斯在一个较低的油价环境中处于有利地位”。

他说：“我们拥有强大的流动性，有超过3亿美元的可用资金，在当前油价下，我们的债务契约有足够的空间在未来数年内保持。”

桑托斯计划在2020年实现25美元/桶的自由现金流盈亏平衡油价。

全球油价基准布伦特原油本月迄今下跌10%，至20.37美元/桶。今年以来，这一价格下降了69%。

Santos quarterly revenue, production down

Australian gas producer and GLNG operator, Santos reported a 13 per cent decrease in revenue, affected by the slump in oil and gas prices.

Santos sales revenue for the January-March quarter fell to $883 million from $1.02 billion a year ago.

The Australian company produced 17.9 million barrels of oil equivalent during the period, down from 18.4 mmboe last year.

Average liquefied natural gas prices amounted to $8.88 per metric million British thermal unit, compared to $10.79 per mmBtu a year earlier, Santos said on Thursday.

However, strong gas production in the Cooper basin, GLNG terminal and fixed-price contracts are helping Santos remain confident it can weather the demand slump caused by the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.

Santos head Kevin Gallagher said “decisive action is being taken to ensure Santos is well-positioned in a lower oil price environment”.

“The current environment is a time for discipline. We have a strong liquidity position with over $3 billion available and we have sufficient headroom in our debt covenants for a number of years at current oil prices”, Santos head Kevin Gallagher said.

Santos is targeting a free cash flow breakeven oil price of $25 a barrel in 2020.

Brent crude, the global oil price benchmark, dropped by 10 per cent this month so far to $20.37 a barrel. The price declined by 69 per cent this year so far.
