据世界天然气8月18日消息：澳大利亚伍德赛德公司表示，在截至6月30日的六个月内，由于实际价格上涨，其基础净利润(不包括一次性项目)同比增长17%。
基础净利润为3.54亿美元，而去年同期为3.03亿美元。该公司税后净利润为3.17亿美元，而去年亏损逾40亿美元。营业收入同比增长31%，至25亿美元。
伍德赛德新任命的首席执行官梅格·奥尼尔表示，这一结果反映了2020年疫情带来挑战和不确定性后市场状况的强劲反弹。
“我们的收入受到液化天然气和石油需求复苏推动的实际价格上涨的支撑。上半年销量增长6%，达到5390万桶，这是因为我们为应对有利的市场条件而增加了交易活动。”她说。
伍德赛德今年上半年的产量为4360万桶，低于之前的5010万桶。该公司将全年产量指导上限从9500万桶下调至9300万桶。该公司目前预计产量将在9000万桶和9300万桶之间。
伍德赛德在8月17日宣布与必和必拓的石油业务合并。合并后的实体将由伍德赛德持股52%，必和必拓持股48%。
