中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2022年10月28日报道，在欧洲天然气价格飙升的背景下，挪威能源巨头Equinor周五（10月28日）公布了其创纪录的第三季度收益，随后该公司提高了第三季度特别股息。
Equinor第三季经调整的税后利润为67.2亿美元，比去年同期的27.8亿美元增长一倍多，且高于分析师的预期。
Equinor第三季度调整后的税前利润飙升至243亿美元，高于去年同期的97.7亿美元。
Equinor表示：“Equinor第三季度在销售和交易方面取得了强劲的业绩，特别是在天然气和电力领域，向需求最高的市场销售产品。”
Equinor在第三季度把对欧洲的天然气供应量增加了11%。
Equinor总裁兼首席执行官Anders Opedal说：“高产量加上持续的高价格水平导致了非常强劲的财务业绩，调整后的税前利润超过240亿美元。这些收益使我们能够继续投资能源转型，同时在不确定的时期建立韧性。”
Equinor董事会决定第三季度支付每股股票0.20美元的现金股息，“基于本季度持续强劲的盈利”，董事会将非常规现金股息从每股0.50美元提高到今年第三季度的每股0.70美元。
Equinor还将于10月31日启动今年60亿美元股票回购计划的第四批，也是最后一批18.3亿美元。
财报公布后，Equinor股价周五在纽约盘前交易中大涨逾5%。
在Equinor公布强劲业绩之前，欧洲其他石油巨头本周早些时候也公布了同样强劲的业绩。英国壳牌公司将提高股息，并启动新的股票回购计划。此前，壳牌公司公布了第三季度的季度收益，仅次于上一季度的创纪录利润。在欧洲急于在冬季前采购天然气之际，受能源价格高企和液化天然气价格飙升的推动，法国道达尔能源公司公布了第三季度创纪录的利润。
