BP预计一季度业绩将受疫情和疲弱需求冲击

据道琼斯4月1日消息，英国石油公司(BP)股价周三下跌，此前该公司表示，预计今年第一财季业绩将受到当前需求疲弱和大宗商品价格走低的影响，并预计当季将计入10亿美元的非现金减值支出。

这家英国石油天然气集团称，预计第一季度上游业务产量将较前季下降，为每日255万至260万桶油当量。

BP表示，由于一些国家实施限制措施以遏制疫情的蔓延，预计第一季度燃油、航空燃油和润滑油的需求将显著下降，且降幅会不断扩大。

该公司还称，其150亿美元的资产剥离计划仍有望在2021年年中完成，但鉴于当前交易环境的波动性，在今年底前获得100亿美元的资产剥离收入可能会随着交易的完成而调整。

BP Expects 1Q Results to be Hurt by Virus, Weak Demand

Shares in BP PLC fell Wednesday after the company said it expects results in the first quarter of this year to be hit by the current weak demand and low commodity pricing, and that it estimates a $1 billion noncash impairment charge for the period.

The British oil-and-gas group said it anticipates a reduced first-quarter upstream production compared with the previous quarter, in the range of 2.55 million to 2.6 million barrels of oil equivalent a day.

BP said it also expects a "significant and growing decline in demand for fuels, jet fuel and lubricants" in the first quarter due to the restrictions imposed in a number of countries to contain the spread of coronavirus.

The company also said its $15 billion divestment program remains on track toward its completion in mid-2021, but that the receipt of the $10 billion of divestment proceeds by the end of this year might be revised as transactions complete, given the volatility of the current trading environment.
