据离岸工程网站7月22日消息 澳大利亚桑托斯公司周四上调了年度产量预期下限，并公布第二季度收入增长37%，这得益于价格上涨和天然气需求增加。
该澳大利亚第二大独立天然气生产商目前预计，2021年石油当量将达到8700-9100万桶，高于此前预测的8400-9100万桶。
截至6月30日的三个月内，该公司的产量增至2250万桶油当量，高于去年的2060万桶油当量。
截至6月底，天然气价格处于多年高位，受库存增加和北半球高温的支撑，导致发电需求增加。
桑托斯的液化天然气平均销售价格在6月份上升至7.52美元/每百万英热单位，而上一季度为6.12美元/每百万英热单位。
公司季度销售收入从去年同期的7.85亿美元增至10.8亿美元。
桑托斯表示，目前预计年销售量将在1-1.05亿桶油当量之间，而此前的预测为9800-1.05亿桶油当量。

Santos Sees Revenue Jump, Raises Output Forecast
Australia's Santos Ltd increased the lower end of its annual production outlook align="justify"> The country's second-largest independent gas producer now expects to produce between 87 and 91 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) in 2021, higher than its previous forecast of 84-91 mmboe.
The company's production rose to 22.5 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) for the three months ending June 30, higher than the 20.6 mmboe produced last year.
Prices for natural gas were at multi-year highs as of June-end, bolstered by increased stocking and high temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere, which led to increased demand for power generation.
The average sales price that Santos got for its liquefied natural gas (LNG) during the June quarter rose to $7.52 per metric million British thermal units (mmBtu), compared with $6.12 per mmBtu during the sequentially previous quarter.
The company's quarterly sales revenue rose to $1.08 billion from $785 million a year earlier.
Santos said it now expects annual sales volume to be between 100 mmboe and 105 mmboe, compared with its previous forecast of 98-105 mmboe.
