中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网２月７日报道，bp成为最新一家公布2022年创纪录盈利的石油和天然气巨头，随着油价和天然气价格飙升，去年的利润翻了一番多。
bp周二报告称，2022年公司基本重置成本利润为276.5亿美元，比上一年的128亿美元增长了一倍多。
这家英国超级巨头打破了此前的盈利纪录——2008年油价创下历史新高——并加入了其他超级巨头的行列，这些巨头在过去一周也公布了创纪录的盈利。
继强劲的业绩和盈余现金流之后，bp将2022年第四季度的每股普通股股息提高了10%，比2021第四季度增长了21%。这家超级大公司还宣布了27.5亿美元的股票回购，使宣布的股票回购总额从2022年的盈余现金流增至112.5亿美元。
去年，bp还将净债务削减了92亿美元，降至214亿美元，这是九年来的最低债务。
业绩公布后，bp股价在伦敦开盘时上涨了4%。
bp首席执行官在一份声明中表示：“过去三年来，世界比以往任何时候都更清楚地需要安全、负担得起以及低碳的能源——这三者加在一起，就是所谓的能源三重困境。”
这位高管补充道：“为了解决这一问题，需要采取行动加快转型。同时，需要采取措施确保转型有序，从而使负担得起的能源能够继续流向今天需要的地方。”
继雪佛龙（Chevron）、埃克森美孚（Exxon）和壳牌（Shell）的巨额利润之后，bp是最新一家公布有史以来最高年度收益的超级巨头。道达尔能源（TotalEnergies）是大型石油公司中最后一家在2月8日公布盈利的公司。
各大石油公司创纪录的利润已经招致了白宫的批评，白宫抨击埃克森美孚公司2022年创纪录的收入“离谱”，同时对石油公司征收更多暴利税的呼声也越来越高。

BP Becomes The Latest Oil Major To Report Record-Breaking Profits
BP became the latest oil and gas supermajor to report record earnings for 2022, more than doubling its profit last year as oil and gas prices surged.
BP reported>The UK supermajor beat its previous earnings record – set in 2008 when oil prices hit an all-time high – and joined the other supermajors which have also reported record earnings over the past week.
Following the strong set of results and surplus cash flow, BP raised its dividend per ordinary share for the fourth quarter by 10%, which represents 21% growth from the fourth quarter of 2021. The supermajor also announced a further $2.75 billion in share buybacks, bringing total announced share repurchases from 2022 surplus cash flow to $11.25 billion.
Last year, BP also cut its net debt by $9.2 billion over the year, to $21.4 billion – the lowest debt for over nine years.
Following the results announcement, shares in BP jumped by 4% at opening in London.
“It’s clearer than ever after the past three years that the world wants and needs energy that is secure and affordable as well as lower carbon – all three together, what’s known as the energy trilemma,” BP’s chief executive Bernard Looney said in a statement.
“To tackle that, action is needed to accelerate the transition. And – at the same time – action is needed to make sure that the transition is orderly, so that affordable energy keeps flowing where it’s needed today,” the executive added.
BP is the latest supermajor to report the highest-ever annual earnings, following smashing profits at Chevron, Exxon, and Shell. TotalEnergies is the last of the biggest of Big Oil to report earnings,>The record profits at the majors already drew criticism from the White House, which slammed Exxon’s record earnings for 2022 as “outrageous,” while calls for more windfall taxes on oil companies have intensified.
