據(jù)離岸工程網(wǎng)站8月6日消息 日本最大的石油和天然氣公司Inpex公司周四表示，由于冠狀病毒大流行導(dǎo)致價格暴跌，該公司在澳大利亞的液化天然氣項目的費用為1400億日元（13.3億美元）。

這些損失使能源公司在澳大利亞液化天然氣項目上的費用超過130億美元，這些費用是由于流感大流行導(dǎo)致價格暴跌而導(dǎo)致。澳大利亞是全球最大的液化天然氣出口國之一。

殼牌和BP等石油和天然氣巨頭已減記了數(shù)百億美元在世界其他地方的油氣資產(chǎn)，因為大范圍的封鎖減少了旅行和工業(yè)活動，壓垮了對燃料的需求。

Inpex減記的大部分資產(chǎn)約為12億美元，是由殼牌在澳大利亞西北部海域運營的Prelude浮式液化天然氣項目的股份。

該公司還宣布對美國石油項目收費5億美元，同時公布上半年盈利。

Inpex沒有對其在澳大利亞運營的巨型Ichthys項目進行任何減記。

今年7月，持有Ichthys和桑托斯運營的格萊斯頓液化天然氣項目股份的法國道達爾表示，將對其澳大利亞液化天然氣資產(chǎn)收取8億美元的費用，但未透露細節(jié)。

截至6月的6個月，Inpex表示虧損1210億日元，而去年同期盈利約690億日元。該公司預(yù)計全年虧損1360億日元。

亞洲液化天然氣現(xiàn)貨價格從6月份的低點小幅回升后，今年已下跌近一半，而油價在7月份較4月份連續(xù)第四個月上漲，當時全球數(shù)十億人處于停工狀態(tài)。

許多國家現(xiàn)在正經(jīng)歷第二波感染。

Inpex Books $1.3B Writedown on Australian LNG assets, Omitting Ichthys

Japan's biggest oil and gas company, Inpex Corp, booked charges of 140 billion yen ($1.33 billion) on its liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in Australia, it said on Thursday, due to a slump in prices caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The losses bring to more than $13 billion the charges on Australian LNG projects taken by energy companies due to the collapse in prices from the pandemic. Australia is one of the world's largest exporters of LNG.

Oil and gas majors such as Shell and BP have written down tens of billions of dollars on oil and gas assets elsewhere in the world as pandemic lockdowns have cut travel and industrial activity, crushing demand for fuels.

Most of Inpex's writedown, about $1.2 billion, was on its stake in the Prelude floating LNG project operated by Shell off northwestern Australia.

It also announced charges of $500 million on U.S. oil projects, while releasing first-half earnings.

Inpex did not book any writedowns on the giant Ichthys project that it operates in Australia.

In July, France's Total, which holds a stake in Ichthys and the Gladstone LNG project operated by Santos, said it would take a charge of $800 million on its Australian LNG assets, without giving details.

For the six months through June, Inpex said it had a loss of 121 billion yen, versus a profit of around 69 billion in the previous period. The company forecasts a full-year loss of 136 billion yen.

Asian spot prices of LNG have nearly halved this year after recovering slightly from lows in June, while oil prices rose for a fourth straight month in July from the depths of April, when billions of people were in lockdown worldwide.

Many countries are now experiencing a second wave of infections.
