據能源世界網9月9日倫敦報道，圖洛石油公司（Tullow Oil）周三報告稱，其上半年虧損為13億美元，而去年同期盈利1.03億美元，由于該公司下調了石油價格預期后，預計將減記14億美元的資產。

圖洛截至周三的市值為361美元，負債30億美元。該公司表示，其正在評估“關于集團資本結構的各種再融資選擇”，并有望在今年年底之前舉行資本市場日活動。

該公司表示，現金流量預測，由于將于2022年4月到期的6.5億美元高級債券到期，在與2021年1月RBL重新確定流動性預測測試相關的18個月期間，可能會出現流動性短缺。

基于儲備的貸款（RBL）是提供給石油和天然氣生產商的一種信貸，通常每年進行兩次審查。

圖洛表示，該公司的目標是，要么為明年到期的可轉換債券再融資，要么在2022年到期的高級債券上進行再融資，修改其RBL貸款，或者在明年1月份前從銀行或資本市場尋求新的流動性。

其董事認為，與緩解計劃有關的“重大不確定性可能使人們對本集團是否能夠持續經營表示極大懷疑”。

圖洛尚未動用流動資金和約5億美元的可用現金。

其計劃今年在投資和退役上花費約3.65億美元。圖洛表示，預計以當前的石油期貨價格計算，其2020年現金流量將收支平衡。 該公司今年以每桶57美元的底價對沖了其60％的銷售額，并以每桶51美元的底價對沖了其明年的48％。

圖洛在7月份表示，在將長期油價預期從每桶65美元下調至每桶60美元后，該公司的減值為14億-17億美元。

圖洛稱，已停止出售其肯尼亞陸上部分油田，以待審查。

Tullow Oil slumps to $1.3 bln loss as potential cash shortfall looms

Tullow Oil reported a half-year loss of $1.3 billion on Wednesday, compared with a $103 million profit last year, as it took an expected $1.4 billion writedown after it lowered its oil price outlook.

Tullow, with a market cap of $361 as of Wednesday and $3 billion in debt, said it was evaluating "various refinancing alternatives with respect to the Group's capital structure" and expected to hold to a capital markets day towards the end of the year.

"Cash flow projections forecast a potential liquidity shortfall during the 18-month period relevant to the Liquidity Forecast Test in respect of the January 2021 RBL re-determination due to the maturity of the $650 million Senior Notes due in April 2022," it said.

Reserve-based lending (RBL) is a type of credit afforded to oil and gas producers and which is typically reviewed twice a year.

Tullow said it would aim to either refinance convertible bonds due next year or the senior notes due in 2022, amend its RBL facility or seek new liquidity from banks or capital markets by January.

Its directors see associated with the mitigation plans "material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt that the Group will be able to continue as a Going Concern."

Tullow has untapped liquidity and around $500 million in available cash.

It plans to spend around $365 million on investments and decomissioning this year. Tullow said it expects its 2020 cash flow to break even at current oil futures prices. It has hedged 60% of its sales this year at a floor price of $57 a barrel and 48% of next year's at a floor of $51 a barrel.

Tullow said in July it saw a $1.4-1.7 billion impairment of after downgrading its long-term oil price expectation to $60 a barrel from $65 a barrel.

Tullow said it halted the sale of a portion of its Kenyan onshore oilfields pending a review.
