据离岸能源4月22日消息，由于油气价格大幅下跌和疫情影响，油田服务提供商贝克休斯(Baker Hughes)今年第一季度计入了一笔巨额减值支出，导致该季度亏损100亿美元。

贝克休斯在周三发布的《2020年第一季度报告》中表示，该公司本季度订单为55亿美元，环比下降20%，同比下降3%。

该公司当季营收为54亿美元，环比下降15%，同比下降3%。

贝克休斯2020年第一季度的GAAP营业亏损为160.6亿美元，而去年同期的利润为1.76亿美元。

该公司在2020年第一季度的净亏损达到102亿美元，而在2019年第一季度的利润为3200万美元。

正如之前报道的，该公司2020年第一季度的业绩包括商誉、库存、重组和其他总额超过150亿美元的减值支出。

贝克休斯董事长兼首席执行官Lorenzo Simonelli表示:“今年第一季度，宏观环境发生了迅速变化。突如其来的疫情造成的需求冲击，加上全球石油供应的增加，导致第一季度油价下跌了67%。”

他表示:“展望未来，石油和天然气的需求和供应的前景似乎同样不确定，这在很大程度上将取决于从19年危机中复苏的经济步伐，以及最终实现的供应反应。”

其它油田服务提供商今年第一季度也创下巨额亏损的记录。

斯伦贝谢上周计入了85亿美元的费用，主要涉及商誉、无形资产和其他长期资产的减值，并报告2020年第一季度净亏损74亿美元。

本周稍早，哈里伯顿计入11亿美元的税前减损和其他费用，以进一步调整成本结构以适应当前市场状况，并公布2020年第一季净亏损10亿美元。

Simonelli补充道:“为了应对这个充满挑战的环境，我们采取了果断的行动，努力削减成本，加速结构变革，部署技术和优化流程，以降低客户的成本。”

“这包括在2019年的基础上削减20%以上的资本支出，执行重组计划，根以根据预期的活动水平和市场状况对我们的业务进行适当的规模调整，并继续实施我们的投资组合演变策略。”

Baker Hughes sinks to $10 billion loss as impairment charges bite

Oilfield services provider Baker Hughes booked a huge impairment charge in the first quarter of the year resulting in a $10 billion loss for the quarter amid a significant decline in oil and gas prices and coronavirus pandemic.

In its 1Q 2020 report on Wednesday, Baker Hughes said that its orders in the quarter were $5.5 billion, down 20 per cent sequentially and down 3 per cent year-over-year.

Its revenues were $5.4 billion for the quarter, down 15 per cent sequentially and down 3 per cent year-over-year.

Baker Hughes’ GAAP operating loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $16.06 billion, compared to a profit of $176 million in the same period last year.

The company’s net loss in 1Q 2020 amounted to $10.2 billion compared to a profit of $32 million in 1Q 2019.

As previously reported, the company’s 1Q 2020 results include goodwill, inventory, restructuring, and other impairment charges of over $15 billion.

Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “During the first quarter, the macro environment changed rapidly. The sudden demand shock from COVID-19 combined with rising global oil supply drove a 67% decline in oil prices during the first quarter.

“Looking forward, the outlook for oil and gas demand and supply appears equally uncertain, and it will largely be driven by the pace of economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the supply response that ultimately materializes.

Other oilfield services providers have also recorded huge losses in the first quarter of the year.

Schlumberger last week took an $8.5 billion charge primarily relating to the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets and reported a net loss of $7.4 billion in 1Q 2020.

Earlier this week, Halliburton recognized a $1.1 billion of pre-tax impairments and other charges to further adjust its cost structure to current market conditions and reported a net loss of $1 billion for the first quarter of 2020.

Simonelli added: “To navigate this challenging environment, we have taken decisive actions in an effort to cut costs, accelerate structural changes, and deploy technology and optimize processes that can lower costs for our customers.

“This includes reducing capital expenditures by more than 20% versus 2019, executing a restructuring plan to right-size our operations for anticipated activity levels and market conditions, as well as continuing to deliver on our portfolio evolution strategy”.
