图洛石油称上半年亏损13亿美元

据能源世界网9月9日伦敦报道，图洛石油公司（Tullow Oil）周三报告称，其上半年亏损为13亿美元，而去年同期盈利1.03亿美元，由于该公司下调了石油价格预期后，预计将减记14亿美元的资产。

图洛截至周三的市值为361美元，负债30亿美元。该公司表示，其正在评估“关于集团资本结构的各种再融资选择”，并有望在今年年底之前举行资本市场日活动。

该公司表示，现金流量预测，由于将于2022年4月到期的6.5亿美元高级债券到期，在与2021年1月RBL重新确定流动性预测测试相关的18个月期间，可能会出现流动性短缺。

基于储备的贷款（RBL）是提供给石油和天然气生产商的一种信贷，通常每年进行两次审查。

图洛表示，该公司的目标是，要么为明年到期的可转换债券再融资，要么在2022年到期的高级债券上进行再融资，修改其RBL贷款，或者在明年1月份前从银行或资本市场寻求新的流动性。

其董事认为，与缓解计划有关的“重大不确定性可能使人们对本集团是否能够持续经营表示极大怀疑”。

图洛尚未动用流动资金和约5亿美元的可用现金。

其计划今年在投资和退役上花费约3.65亿美元。图洛表示，预计以当前的石油期货价格计算，其2020年现金流量将收支平衡。 该公司今年以每桶57美元的底价对冲了其60％的销售额，并以每桶51美元的底价对冲了其明年的48％。

图洛在7月份表示，在将长期油价预期从每桶65美元下调至每桶60美元后，该公司的减值为14亿-17亿美元。

图洛称，已停止出售其肯尼亚陆上部分油田，以待审查。

Tullow Oil slumps to $1.3 bln loss as potential cash shortfall looms

Tullow Oil reported a half-year loss of $1.3 billion on Wednesday, compared with a $103 million profit last year, as it took an expected $1.4 billion writedown after it lowered its oil price outlook.

Tullow, with a market cap of $361 as of Wednesday and $3 billion in debt, said it was evaluating "various refinancing alternatives with respect to the Group's capital structure" and expected to hold to a capital markets day towards the end of the year.

"Cash flow projections forecast a potential liquidity shortfall during the 18-month period relevant to the Liquidity Forecast Test in respect of the January 2021 RBL re-determination due to the maturity of the $650 million Senior Notes due in April 2022," it said.

Reserve-based lending (RBL) is a type of credit afforded to oil and gas producers and which is typically reviewed twice a year.

Tullow said it would aim to either refinance convertible bonds due next year or the senior notes due in 2022, amend its RBL facility or seek new liquidity from banks or capital markets by January.

Its directors see associated with the mitigation plans "material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt that the Group will be able to continue as a Going Concern."

Tullow has untapped liquidity and around $500 million in available cash.

It plans to spend around $365 million on investments and decomissioning this year. Tullow said it expects its 2020 cash flow to break even at current oil futures prices. It has hedged 60% of its sales this year at a floor price of $57 a barrel and 48% of next year's at a floor of $51 a barrel.

Tullow said in July it saw a $1.4-1.7 billion impairment of after downgrading its long-term oil price expectation to $60 a barrel from $65 a barrel.

Tullow said it halted the sale of a portion of its Kenyan onshore oilfields pending a review.
