中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2022年11月1日报道,英国石油公司(bp)宣布将进一步回购25亿美元的股票,此前bp第三季度利润比去年同期翻了一倍多,这要归功于其所称的“异常”的天然气营销和交易结果以及更高的天然气变现率。
继bp周二公布第三季度基本重置成本利润(净利润的衡量指标)82亿美元以后,bp加入了其他国际石油和天然气巨头的行列,公布了非常强劲的收益。这个利润略低于上一季度的85亿美元,85亿美元是该公司10多年来最高的季度利润,比去年第三季度的33亿美元利润高出一倍多。
bp在一份声明中表示:“与第二季度相比,该业绩受到炼油利润率下降、石油交易业绩平均和液体变现率降低的影响,但天然气营销和交易业绩优异以及天然气变现率上升部分抵消了部分影响。”bp表示,在第二季度业绩“异常”后,其第三季度石油交易表现“一般”。
bp首席财务官默里·奥金克洛斯说:“净债务连续第10个季度下降,我们有纪律地投资,我们正在兑现我们对股东分配的承诺——宣布进一步回购25亿美元的股票。”
bp首席执行官Bernard Looney表示:“第三季度的业绩反映出我们在转型的同时仍在继续表现。我们仍然专注于帮助解决能源三难困境——安全、负担得起和低碳能源。我们正在提供当今世界所需的石油和天然气,与此同时,我们正在投资以加速能源转型。”
根据bp目前的预测(布伦特原油价格为每桶60美元左右,每个季度取决于董事会的判断),bp预计将继续每年进行大约40亿美元的股票回购,并有能力在2025年前每年增加大约4%的股息。
bp是全球最后一家公布第三季度业绩的大型石油公司。
