据今日油价网站1月21日消息 油田服务提供商贝克休斯公布了自3月份油价暴跌以来的首个季度净利润。周四公布的数据显示，2020年第四季度净收入为6.53亿美元，第三季度净利润为1.7亿美元。
贝克休斯表示，与上一季度相比，第四季度的订单和收入都有所增长，不过仍低于2019年第四季度的订单和收入。
2020年第四季度的利润是贝克休斯自石油需求和价格暴跌、钻井公司推迟订单和削减水力压裂活动以来的第一个季度净收入。
在2020年第二季度和第三季度，由于北美和国际上对钻井服务的需求显著减少，主要油田服务提供商报告亏损。
全球三大油田服务提供商斯伦贝谢、哈里伯顿和贝克休斯第三季度均出现亏损。然而，这些损失明显低于第二季度的损失，正如斯伦贝谢首席执行官奥利维尔·勒佩赫所说：“这是过去几十年来最具挑战性的一个季度。”7月至9月的损失较低，这也是因为油田服务公司解雇了数万名工人后大幅削减了开支。
贝克休斯董事长兼首席执行官洛伦佐 西蒙内利在第四季度财报中表示，公司预计2021年上半年油气投资环境将不温不火。
西蒙内利表示：“然而，我们预计，随着宏观环境的改善，支出和活动水平将在全年获得增长势头，可能为2022年该行业的强劲增长奠定基础。”
本周早些时候，另一家主要的油田服务提供商哈里伯顿公布了2020年第四季度的调整后净收入，北美地区的收入同比增长26%，达到12亿美元。
哈里伯顿董事长、总裁兼首席执行官杰夫 米勒表示：“我对北美市场的活动势头感到乐观，预计今年第一季度国际活动将触底。”

Baker Hughes Posts First Quarterly Profit Since Oil Collapsed In 2020
Oilfield services provider Baker Hughes (NYSE: BKR) booked its first quarterly net profit since oil prices crashed in March, reporting Both orders and revenues rose in Q4 compared to the previous quarter, Baker Hughes said, although they were still lower than those booked for the fourth quarter of 2019.
The profit for Q4 2020 marks the first quarterly net income for Baker Hughes since oil demand collapsed, prices crashed, and drillers deferred orders and curtailed fracking activity.
In Q2 and Q3 2020, the major oilfield services providers reported losses amid significantly reduced demand for drilling services, both in North America and internationally.
The three largest oilfield services providers in the world—Schlumberger, Halliburton, and Baker Hughes—all reported losses for the third quarter. Yet, those losses were significantly lower than the In the Q4 results release, Baker Hughes chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said the company expects “a tepid investment environment for oil and gas during the first half of 2021.”
“However, we expect spending and activity levels to gain momentum through the year as the macro environment improves, likely setting up the industry for stronger growth in 2022,” Simonelli added.
Earlier this week, another major oilfield services provider, Halliburton (NYSE: HAL), reported adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2020, with North America revenue rising by 26 percent sequentially to $1.2 billion.
“I am optimistic about the activity momentum I see in North America, and expect international activity to bottom in the first quarter of this year,” Halliburton’s chairman, president and CEO, Jeff Miller, said.
