據離岸工程網站7月30日消息 康菲石油周四表示，預計本季度減產量約為上季度減產量的一半，并將在9月底前恢復大部分產量。此前，由于油價暴跌41%，該公司4月份減產約三分之一。

該公司在6月早些時候恢復了部分被削減的產量，因為原油價格恢復了一些歷史性的損失，當時為遏制冠狀病毒的傳播而實施的封鎖措施削弱了燃料需求。

在截至6月30日的第二季度，除利比亞外，康菲石油的總產量下降了24%。

這家總部位于休斯敦的公司公布調整后每股虧損92美分，遠高于分析師平均預期的58美分。其股價下跌5.7%，同時原油價格也下跌，因為激增的冠狀病毒感染威脅到燃料需求的恢復。

不過，該公司首席執行官蘭斯相信，公司擁有約130億美元的流動性，完全有能力從原油價格不可避免的復蘇中獲益。

“我們可以更好地抵御價格波動，選擇采取減產等措施，并進行高價值、低成本的補強交易。”

蘭斯補充說，除了其他因素外，公司還考慮可能放緩的復蘇速度，以決定其資本需求。

由于美國輕質原油和布倫特原油的平均價格也下跌了50%以上，康菲石油第二季度的每桶收益減少了一半以上。

該公司在完成澳大利亞西部資產剝離后實現了5.94億美元的收益，而其在塞諾夫斯能源公司的股份實現了5.51億美元的未實現收益。

BP、雪佛龍和埃克森美孚預計也將出現罕見的季度虧損，而荷蘭皇家殼牌則依靠蓬勃發展的貿易業務勉強避免了這一損失。

ConocoPhillips to Reverse Most Output Cuts by End of Q3

ConocoPhillips said on Thursday it expects production curtailments in the current quarter to be roughly half as much as last quarter and will restore most of its output by the end of September, after the oil and gas producer slashed about a third of its output in April as oil prices plunged 41%.

The company restored part of its curtailed volumes earlier in June, as crude prices recovered some of the historic losses they took when lockdowns imposed to curb the spread of the coronavirus sapped fuel demand.

ConocoPhillips' total production, excluding Libya, was down 24% in the second quarter ended June 30.

The Houston-based company posted an adjusted loss of 92 cents per share, much bigger than analysts' average expectation of 58 cents. Its shares fell 5.7%, in tandem also with a drop in crude prices as surging coronavirus infections threaten fuel demand recovery.

Still, Chief Executive Officer Ryan Lance was confident that with about $13 billion in liquidity, his company is well-positioned to benefit from an inevitable recovery in crude prices.

"We can better withstand price volatility, elect to take actions such as production curtailments and transact on high value, low-cost of supply bolt-on deals."

Lance added that the company was also considering a potentially slower recovery, among other factors, to decide its capital needs.

Second-quarter earnings for ConocoPhillips from each barrel sold more than halved, as U.S. light crude and Brent crude average prices also fell over 50%.

The company realized a gain of $594 million on completing Australia-West assets divestiture and an unrealized gain of $551 million on its stake in Cenovus Energy.

Oil Majors BP, Chevron and Exxon Mobil are also expected to report rare quarterly losses, while Royal Dutch Shell narrowly avoided that by relying on a booming trading business.
