随着油价暴跌 壳牌减记8亿美元

据3月31日路透社报道，荷兰皇家壳牌公司预计，随着油价暴跌，其业务进程也在放缓，该公司将在2020年第一季度减记至多8亿美元。壳牌下调了2020年油气价格预期，导致税后减值费用在4亿至8亿美元之间。

当前形势下全球需求下滑，原油供应过剩，基准的布伦特原油价格在第一季度下跌了约65%，周二跌至23美元/桶以下。

与2019年第四季度相比，壳牌的石油产量预计将下降4.5%，而液化天然气产量将下降2.3%。

Shell to write down up to $800 million after oil price crash

Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) expects to write down up to $800 million in the first quarter of 2020 following a slump in oil prices that has also slowed the energy giant’s operations.

Shell lowered its oil and gas price outlook for 2020, resulting in a post-tax impairment charge in the range of $400-$800 million, it said.

Benchmark Brent crude prices fell by around 65% in the first quarter and were trading at below $23 a barrel on Tuesday as a result of a sharp drop in global demand due to the coronavirus and pledges by Saudi Arabia and Russia to raise output.

Shell’s oil production was expected to fall by 4.5% versus the fourth quarter of 2019 while liquefied natural gas (LNG) volumes were set to decline by 2.3%.
