据海上能源7月25日报道，挪威油气巨头Equinor公司在2019年第二季度实现了净利润的增长，而其收益与去年同期相比有所下降。该公司预计今年将减少支出，部分原因是进一步节省了约翰·斯韦德鲁普(JohanSverdrup)的海上项目成本。

Equinor周四在其2019年第二季度报告中表示，预计今年的资本支出将在100亿美元至110亿美元之间，而不是此前预计的110亿美元。

Equinor2019年第二季度调整后的收益为31.5亿美元，低于2018年同期的43.1亿美元。经调整的税后收益为11.3亿美元，低于去年同期的17亿美元。

据该公司称，生产保持在高水平，但价格较低，周转活动高，某些季度的具体项目影响了其结果。本季度，液体在生产组合中所占的份额很低，今后还会增加。

每桶的基本运营成本和管理费用与去年同期相比有所增加，这主要是由于新的油田投产。

该公司解释道，Equinor的国际财务报告准则第二季度净营业收入为35.2亿美元，低于2018年同期的38.4亿美元。减少的主要原因是液体和气体的平均价格下降，液体数量减少，折旧费用增加，主要原因是2018年第二季度减值净额倒转，以及某些季度特定项目净营业收入下降。

由于2018年第二季度与北美相关的减损影响，2019年第二季度的勘探费用减少，部分抵消了这一减少部分。

该公司2019年第二季度的国际财务报告准则净收入为14.8亿美元，高于2018年第二季度的12.2亿美元。

Equinor第二季度每天的总股本产量为201.2 万油当量/天，与2018年同期的每日202.8万油当量/天相当。NCS和E＆P国际报告部门的预期自然下降部分被NCS新领域的增加和E＆P国际报告部门的投资组合变化所抵消。

Equinor posts increase in 2Q net income, cuts Johan Sverdrup costs

Norwegian oil and gas company Equinor recorded an increase in its second quarter 2019 net income while its earnings were down compared to the last year’s quarter. The company expects to spend less this year, partly due to further savings on the Johan Sverdrup offshore project.

Equinor said in its 2Q 2019 report on Thursday it expects to spend somewhere between $10 billion and $11 billion in capital expenditure this year, instead of previously expected $11 billion.

Equinor’s adjusted earnings were $3.15 billion in the second quarter 2019, down from $4.31 billion in the same period in 2018. Adjusted earnings after tax were $1.13 billion, down from $1.7 billion in the same period last year.

According to the company, production was maintained at a high level, but lower prices, high turnaround activity and some quarter specific items impacted the result. The liquids share of the production mix was low in the quarter and will increase going forward.

Underlying operating costs and administrative expenses per barrel increased somewhat from the same quarter last year, mainly due to new fields coming on stream.

Equinor’s IFRS net operating income was $3.52 billion in the second quarter, down from $3.84 billion in the same period of 2018. The decrease was mainly due to lower average prices for liquids and gas, lower liquids volumes, higher depreciation expenses mainly due to net impairment reversals in the second quarter of 2018, and some quarter specific items decreasing net operating income, the company explained.

The decrease was partially offset by reduced exploration expenses in the second quarter of 2019 as an effect of impairments in the second quarter of 2018 related to North America.

The company’s IFRS net income in 2Q 2019 was $1.48 billion, up from $1.22 billion in the second quarter of 2018.

Equinor delivered total equity production of 2,012 mboe per day in the second quarter, on par with the same period in 2018 when it was 2,028 mboe per day. Expected natural decline on the NCS and in the E&P International reporting segment was partially offset by ramp-up of new fields on the NCS and portfolio changes in the E&P International reporting segment.
