BP预计二季度减值将高达175亿美元

据烃加工新闻6月15日消息称，英国石油公司表示，预计第二季度非现金减值和冲销税后总额在130亿至175亿美元之间。

英国石油公司修正后的投资评估的长期价格假设是，从2021年到2050年，布伦特原油的平均价格为55美元/桶，Henry Hub天然气为2.9美元/百万英热。BP认为这些较低的长期价格假设范围广泛符合巴黎气候目标的一系列过渡路径。

BP还修改了其到2050年的碳价格，其中包括2030年100美元/teCO2的价格。

该公司还表示，正在审查开发部分勘探前景的意图，因此正在评估该集团无形资产的账面价值。

BP预计将于2020年8月4日公布第二季度业绩。

BP首席执行官Bernard Looney表示：“今年2月，我们打算在2050年或更早之前成为一家净零排放的公司。”

从那以后，我们一直在行动，发展我们的战略，成为一个更多样化、更有弹性、更低碳的公司。作为这个过程的一部分，我们一直在从更长远的角度审视我们的价格假设。”

“因此，我们重新设定了价格前景，以反映这种影响，以及更大努力‘重建更好’、实现与巴黎一致的世界的可能性。我们也在审查我们的发展计划。所有这些都会对我们即将取得的业绩产生重大影响，这些艰难的决定将使我们能够更好地竞争完成能源转型，这些决定源于我们的零减排目标。”

BP predicts impairments of up to US$17.5 billion in 2Q20

BP has said that it is expecting estimated 2Q20 non-cash impairment charges and write-offs to be in an aggregate range of US$13 billion to US$17.5 billion post-tax.

BP’s revised investment appraisal long-term price assumptions are now an average of around US$55/bbl for Brent and US$2.90 per mmBtu for Henry Hub gas, from 2021 – 2050. These lower long-term price assumptions are considered by BP to be broadly in line with a range of transition paths consistent with the Paris climate goals.

BP has also revised its carbon prices for the period to 2050 and these now include a price of US$100/teCO2 in 2030.

The company has also said that it reviewing its intent to develop some of its exploration prospects and consequently is assessing the carrying values of the group’s intangible assets.

BP’s 2Q20 results are expected to be released on 4 August 2020.

“In February we set out to become a net zero company by 2050 or sooner”, said Bernard Looney, BP's CEO.

“Since then we have been in action, developing our strategy to become a more diversified, resilient and lower carbon company. As part of that process, we have been reviewing our price assumptions over a longer horizon.

“So, we have reset our price outlook to reflect that impact and the likelihood of greater efforts to ‘build back better’ towards a Paris-consistent world. We are also reviewing our development plans. All that will result in a significant charge in our upcoming results, but I am confident that these difficult decisions – rooted in our net zero ambition – will better enable us to compete through the energy transition.”
