埃克森美孚二季度经营亏损

据油田技术7月3日报道，埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)周四在一份监管申报文件中表示，该公司的油气生产和炼油业务将在第二季度出现运营亏损，这为该公司今年再次出现季度亏损做了铺垫。

埃克森美孚本季度面临23亿美元的亏损。这将是继2010年第一季度亏损6.1亿美元后，今年第二次出现亏损，具体结果将于7月31日公布。

该文件并未提及资产减记。不过，埃克森美孚表示，与之前的季度更新不同，这份清单可能并不包括所有费用。壳牌公司概述了高达220亿美元的费用，英国石油公司则因石油需求和价格下跌减记175亿美元。

由于油价大幅下跌，与第一季度相比，埃克森美孚的油气业务将出现亏损。该公司在《投资者运营简讯》(investor snapshot)中表示，这一降幅使该部门的营业利润减少了25亿至31亿美元。

该公司表示，与第一季度相比，由于利润率较低和物流方面的差异，炼油业绩将较2020年第一季度下降8亿至11亿美元。

上个季度，埃克森美孚将日产量削减了40万桶，资本支出削减了30%，其中大部分是页岩油业务。

ExxonMobil to report loss in 2Q20

As reported by Reuters, ExxonMobil's oil and gas producing and refining businesses will report operating losses in 2Q20, it said in a regulatory filing on Thursday, setting the stage for the company to post another quarterly loss this year.

Exxon faces a loss for the quarter of US$2.3 billion. It would be the second this year after a US$610 million 1Q20 deficit. Results are due out 31 July.

The filing did not refer to asset writedowns. However, in a change from prior quarterly updates, Exxon noted the list may not include all charges. Shell outlined an up to US$22 billion charge and BP an up to US$17.5 billion writedown on the oil demand and price drops.

Exxon’s oil and gas operations will swing to a loss compared with 1Q20 because of sharply lower prices. That drop reduced the unit’s operating profit by between US$2.5 billion and US$3.1 billion, the company said in its investor snapshot of operations.

Refining results will fall by between US$800 million and US$1.1 billion compared with 1Q20 on weaker margins and logistics differentials, it said.

Exxon last quarter cut output by up to 400 000 bpd and capital spending by 30%, much of it in its shale business.
