據(jù)今日油價(jià)網(wǎng)站8月31日消息 俄羅斯天然氣工業(yè)股份公司（Gazprom）公布稱，今年上半年的營(yíng)業(yè)利潤(rùn)為25.7億美元（1899.9億盧布），低于一年前的105.7億美元（7808.8億盧布），原因是疫情導(dǎo)致天然氣需求枯竭。

這家天然氣巨頭表示，在報(bào)告期內(nèi)銷售額同比下降了29%。

本月早些時(shí)候，俄氣的一份監(jiān)管文件稱，該公司在歐洲天然氣市場(chǎng)（俄氣的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵市場(chǎng)）的份額從去年第二季度的43.2%下降到39.2%。此外，第二季度，通過管道輸送到歐洲的天然氣份額同比下降了6.7%。

報(bào)告指出，這可能意味著液化天然氣銷售或儲(chǔ)存天然氣供應(yīng)增加，美國(guó)和卡塔爾液化天然氣在歐洲天然氣供應(yīng)組合中的份額在本季度分別上升了6.4%和2.3%。

盡管如此，俄羅斯天然氣工業(yè)股份公司仍然處于虧損狀態(tài)，但據(jù)該公司管理委員會(huì)副主席Famil Sadygov稱，這部分歸因于于其運(yùn)營(yíng)和資本支出的優(yōu)化。

Famil Sadygov表示：“盡管債務(wù)負(fù)擔(dān)有所增加，但仍在可控范圍內(nèi)，在俄氣的整體債務(wù)結(jié)構(gòu)中，期限超過5年的長(zhǎng)期借款占主導(dǎo)地位。除第二季度末，俄氣的全部現(xiàn)金余額超過了1萬(wàn)億盧布。”

Gazprom Sees Profits Slump In H1 2020

Russia’s Gazprom reported an operating profit of $2.57 billion (189.99 billion rubles) for the first half of the year, down from $10.57 billion (780.88 billion rubles) a year earlier as the pandemic wiped out demand for gas.

Sales fell by 29 percent on the year in the reporting period, the gas major said.

Earlier this month, one report, citing a regulatory filing by Gazprom, that the company’s share in the European gas market—a key market for Gazprom—fell during the second quarter of the year to 39.2 percent from 43.2 percent a year earlier. What’s more, the share of gas pumped into Europe via pipelines fell by 6.7 percent on the year during the second quarter.

The report suggested this might have meant higher LNG sales or gas supplies from storage, with the share of U.S. and Qatari LNG in Europe’s gas supply mix rising during the quarter, Argus Media noted, by 6.4 percent and 2.3 percent, respectively.

The second quarter has been the most devastating to oil and gas companies globally as lockdowns took a solid bite out of energy demand across the world. Russian energy companies, Reuters noted in a report, also suffered additional pain from a weaker ruble that made foreign-denominated debt more expensive to service.

Despite this pain Gazprom remained in the black, “thanks in part to the optimization of its operating and capital expenditures,” according to the deputy chairman of the company’s management committee, Famil Sadygov.

“Although the debt burden has increased, it remains manageable, and longterm borrowings with a maturity period of more than five years prevail in the Gazprom Group’s overall debt structure,” Sadygov also said. “Apart from that, the Company’s liquidity position allows it to confidently fulfill all of its obligations: at the end of the second quarter, the total amount of cash and deposits of the Gazprom Group exceeded RUB 1.1 trillion.”
