據油價網7月28日報道,美國能源巨頭雪佛龍(Chevron)報告稱,與2022年同期相比,該公司2023年第二季度的利潤有所下降,與其他國際石油巨頭一樣,由于今年油氣價格大幅下跌,利潤也出現了下降。
正如幾天前的利潤亮點所預告的那樣,雪佛龍周五表示,其2023年第二季度調整后的收益為58億美元,即每股3.08美元。與2022年第二季度調整后的收益114億美元(攤薄后每股收益5.82美元)相比,減少了近一半。
該公司今天表示,由于上游變現減少和成品油銷售利潤率降低,與去年相比,利潤和收入有所下降。
2023年第二季度的銷售和其他營業收入從去年同期的654億美元降至472億美元,主要由于大宗商品價格下跌。
雪佛龍的全球凈油當量產量同比增長2%,主要得益于二疊紀盆地歷史新高的77.2萬桶油當量/天產量。由于二疊紀盆地產量的增長,美國凈石油當量產量增加并創下了新的季度新高。
雪佛龍董事長兼首席執行官在一份聲明中表示,“我們的季度財務業績依然強勁,我們向股東返還了歷史新高數額的現金”。
由于在美國的投資增加,該能源巨頭第二季度的資本支出增長了18%,該公司計劃通過宣布收購PDC Energy的協議,進一步增加在美國的投資。
繼殼牌、道達爾能源和Equinor之后,雪佛龍也宣布第二季度利潤下降,由于能源大宗商品價格下跌。考慮到2023年第二季度的油均價為每桶75美元,而去年同期為每桶113美元,天然氣價格僅為2022年夏季歷史最高水平的一小部分,大型石油公司最近一個季度的利潤下降并不意外。

Chevron’s Earnings Drop On Lower Energy Prices, Weaker Refining Margins
Chevron reported on Friday lower earnings for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, joining the other international supermajors in booking reduced profits on the back of much lower oil and natural gas prices this year.
As previewed in profit highlights a few days ago, Chevron said on Friday that its adjusted earnings were $5.8 billion, or $3.08 per share, for the second quarter of 2023. This was more than halved compared to the adjusted earnings of $11.4 billion, or $5.82 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022.
Earnings and revenues dropped compared to last year due to lower upstream realizations and lower margins on refined product sales, the company said today.
Sales and other operating revenues in the second quarter of 2023 fell to $47.2 billion, down from $65.4 billion in the year-ago period, primarily due to lower commodity prices.
Chevron’s worldwide net oil-equivalent production rose by 2% year-on-year, mostly due to record Permian Basin production of 772,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd). U.S. net oil-equivalent production increased and set a new quarterly record primarily due to the growth in the Permian.
“Our quarterly financial results remain strong, and we returned record cash to shareholders,” Mike Wirth, Chevron’s chairman and chief executive officer, said in a statement.
The supermajor, whose capex in the second quarter rose by 18% mostly thanks to higher investment in the U.S., plans to further boost its investments in the United States with the announced agreement to buy PDC Energy.
Chevron joins Shell, TotalEnergies, and Equinor in reporting reduced profits for the second quarter, on the back of lower energy commodity prices. The drop in profits at Big Oil in the latest quarter wasn’t unexpected, considering that oil prices averaged $75 per barrel in Q2 2023, compared to $113 a barrel in the same quarter last year, and natural gas prices were a fraction of the records seen in the summer of 2022.
