據石油和天然氣管道新聞網8月9日消息，土耳其吉尼爾能源在報告中稱，由于疫情大流行和油價下跌造成的損失，公司在2020年上半年出現運營虧損。

吉尼爾能源報告了3.4億美元的運營虧損，而上半年的收入為8840萬美元，去年上半年的收入為19430萬美元。凈產量平均為3.21萬桶/天，而2019年同期為3.74萬桶/天。

吉尼爾在一份聲明中表示，公司在2020年上半年從伊拉克庫爾德地區獲得1.1億美元。在2019年11月至2020年2月的石油銷售中，仍有1.21億美元未結清，與當地就結算安排的討論仍在繼續。

吉尼爾首席執行官Bill Higgs表示：“吉尼爾穩健的商業模式旨在具有挑戰性的環境中提供彈性，并在2020年該公司與行業的逆風談判中展示了其價值。我們的低成本生產和我們發展方案內的資本靈活性使我們即使在投資于增長的同時也能保持我們資產負債表的實力。”

Genel Energy reported a loss in the first half of 2020

Genel Energy reported an operating loss in the first half of 2020 as lower oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic took its toll.

Genel reported a US$340mln operating loss, while it generated US$88.4mln of revenue for the six months compared to US$194.3mln in the first half of last year.

Net production averaged 32,100 barrels of oil per day (bopd), versus 37,400 bopd in the comparative period of 2019.

Genel said in a statement that it had received US$110 million from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in H1 2020. $121 million still remains outstanding in relation to oil sales from November 2019 to February 2020, with discussions continuing with the KRG over settlement arrangements.

Bill Higgs, Chief Executive of Genel, said: “Genel’s robust business model, which is designed to provide resilience in a challenging environment, has demonstrated its value as the Company negotiates the headwinds facing the sector in 2020. Our low-cost production and the capital flexibility within our development programme have enabled us to preserve the strength of our balance sheet even while investing in growth.”
