石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社休斯顿报道，埃克森美孚周五公布的季度利润超过了分析师的预期，随着石油和天然气产量同比略有上升，推高了公司股价。 该公司第四季度净利润从一年前同期的83.8亿美元降至60亿美元，即每股1.41美元。但收入（不包括税收改革和减损的影响）从一年前的37.3亿美元上升到64亿美元。 据Refinitiv数据显示，分析师曾预测，除一次性项目外，该公司每股收益为1.08美元。 埃克森美孚的石油当量产量从上年同期的390万桶/日上升到400多万桶/日。该公司表示，其在美国最大的页岩盆地，即二叠纪盆地的产量比一年前增长了90%。 Edward Jones的分析师Brian Youngberg表示：“石油和天然气的生产尤其强劲，2018年第四季度表现很好，我认为现在的重点将是改善现金流。” 不过，西蒙斯能源公司的分析师在一份客户报告中表示，埃克森美孚不打算在本季度回购股票，这使它成为唯一一家“目前没有回购股票”的国际石油公司。 该公司目前预计今年的支出为300亿美元，高于此前预测的280亿美元。 首席执行官Darren Woods表示，埃克森今年将批准美国和莫桑比克的液化天然气项目。预计卡塔尔石油和埃克森美孚将于下周宣布计划，继续在德克萨斯州推进价值100亿美元的Golden Pass液化天然气出口终端项目。 该公司炼油业务的税前收益为27亿美元，较上年同期增加了17亿美元。 与2017年第四季度相比，埃克森美孚上游业务的税前收入增加了11亿美元。 埃克森美孚化学品业务的税前利润因利润疲软、相关费用的增长以及停机和维护的时间延长而下降了 1.91亿美元。 Woods将超预期的结果归功于该公司全面优化运营，并表示公司有一个优势，即它有能力将油田的决策与物流和炼油联系起来。他说：“无论我们在这个周期中所处的位置如何，我们都将比其他行业处于优势。” 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下： Exxon Mobil profit tops estimates as production rebounds Exxon Mobil Corp on Friday reported a quarterly profit that topped analysts’ estimates, pushing its shares up as oil and natural gas output rose slightly on a year-over-year basis. The company’s fourth-quarter net income fell to $6 billion, or $1.41 a share, from $8.38 billion a year ago. But earnings excluding the impacts of tax reform and impairments rose to $6.4 billion from $3.73 billion a year ago. Analysts had forecast a $1.08 a share profit excluding one-time items, according to data from Refinitiv. Exxon’s oil equivalent production rose to just over 4 million barrels per day, up from 3.9 million bpd in the same period the year prior. The company said its output in the Permian Basin, the largest U.S. shale basin, rose 90 percent over a year ago. Results for oil and gas production were “especially strong,” said Brian Youngberg, an analyst with Edward Jones. “It was a good quarter to end the year. I think the focus now will be on improving the cash flow,” he said. Exxon is not planning share buybacks this quarter, though, which makes it the only international oil company “not currently repurchasing shares,” analysts with Simmons Energy said in a client note. The company now expects to spend $30 billion this year, up from about $28 billion it had forecast previously. CEO Darren Woods said Exxon would sanction liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects on the U.S. Gulf Coast and in Mozambique this year. Qatar Petroleum and Exxon are expected to announce plans next week to proceed with the $10 billion Golden Pass LNG Terminal export project in Texas. Pretax earnings in its refining business were $2.7 billion, up $1.70 billion over the same period the year prior. Exxon earned $1.1 billion more pretax in its upstream business than it did in the fourth quarter of 2017, and said higher natural gas prices were partially offset by lower liquids pricing. Pretax profits in Exxon’s chemicals business were down $191 million on weaker margins, growth-related expenses and higher downtime and maintenance. Woods credited better-than-expected results to the company optimizing its operations across the board, and said it has an advantage because of its ability to tie decisions in the oil field to logistics and refining. “Irrespective of where we are in the cycle, we’re going to be advantaged versus the rest of industry,” he said.
