中国石化新闻网讯 据钻机地带3月10日报道，海王星能源公司（Neptune Energy）报告称，2022年的净利润为9.244亿美元，远高于前一年报告的3.872亿美元。
该公司在其最新报告中指出，2022财年日产量上升至13.5万桶，反映了Sn∅hvit的重启和Duva全年的贡献。然而，该公司强调，该合资企业运营的Touat天然气厂(阿尔及利亚)停产的延长限制了产量增长，因此该集团全年平均产量处于指导值的低端。该公司表示，包括生产当量保险收入在内的日产量为13.56万桶。
凭借Sn∅hvit的全年贡献、Touat的计划重启以及其在Njord（挪威）、Fenja（挪威）和Seagull（英国）的新项目的产量增加，海王星能源预计2023年的日均产量将达到15万至16.5万桶油当量，年底将达到18万桶油当量。
2022年，海王星就其L10 CCS项目与合作伙伴敲定了合作协议，并在概念选择方面继续完善该项目。去年下半年，该公司与Horisont Energi建立了合作伙伴关系，以开发位于挪威的Errai CCS项目。据声明中写道，海王星还在挪威和英国提交了二氧化碳储存许可申请。
该公司进一步表示，将继续寻求机会降低其运营的碳强度，并于2022年12月提交了Snhvit和Njord的电气化计划。Gudrun电气化项目将于2020年年中开始运营。
到2028年，海王星预计其在挪威的产量将100%来自已完全或部分电气化的枢纽。
2022年底，海王星表示其拥有5.52亿桶油当量的储量，储量与产量之比为11年。储量减少反映了挪威当年的产量和非核心资产的处置情况。该声明称，其或有资源增加至4.68亿桶油当量，主要是由于最近在挪威和荷兰的发现和许可证收购，为海王星提供了额外的增长机会。
海王星能源公司执行主席萨姆·莱德劳（Sam Laidlaw）表示：“过去12个月，影响能源生产和使用方式的地缘政治环境发生了巨大变化。投资不足的情况下，过去十年的大宗商品价格下跌已被价格飙升和明显波动所取代。天然气的情况尤其如此，这不仅是因为战争，也因为人们越来越认识到天然气在能源转型中的重要性。在过去五年中，我们投资了超过70亿美元来改造海王星公司，我们已经做好了应对这些变化的准备，我们的投资组合现在拥有更大的生产能力、更多的低碳发展机会和更强劲的资产负债表。”

Neptune Posts Profit Jump in 2022
Neptune Energy has reported a net profit for 2022 of $924.4 million, significantly above the figure of $387.2 million reported in the year prior.
The company noted in its latest report that FY 2022 production rose to 135.0 kboepd, reflecting the restart of Sn∅hvit and a full-year’s contribution from Duva. However, the extension to the outage at the joint venture-operated Touat gas plant (Algeria) restricted production growth and, as a result, group production for the full year averaged at the lower end of guidance, the company highlighted. Production including production-equivalent insurance income was 135.6 kboepd, the company said.
With a full-year contribution from Sn?hvit, the scheduled restart of Touat and the ramp-up of production from its new projects at Njord (Norway), Fenja (Norway) and Seagull (UK), Neptune Energy expects production in 2023 to average 150-165 kboepd and to end the year at around 180 kboepd.
In 2022, Neptune finalized a cooperation agreement with its partners at its L10 CCS project and continued to mature the project towards concept selection. In the second half of the year, the company formed a partnership with Horisont Energi to develop the Errai CCS project in Norway. Neptune also submitted CO2 storage license applications in Norway and the UK, the statement reads.
The company further said it will continue to pursue opportunities to lower the carbon intensity of its operations and in December 2022 submitted plans for the electrification of Sn∅hvit and Njord. The Gudrun electrification project is due to start operation in mid-2023.
By 2028, Neptune expects 100 percent of its production in Norway to be from hubs that have been fully or partially electrified.
At the end of 2022, Neptune said it had 2P reserves of 552 mmboe and a reserves to production ratio of 11 years. The decrease in reserves reflects production in the year and the disposal of non-core assets in Norway. Its contingent resources increased to 468 mmboe, due mainly to recent discoveries and license acquisitions in Norway and the Netherlands, providing Neptune with additional growth opportunities, the statement reads.
“The last 12 months have seen a dramatic shift in the geopolitical environment that shapes how energy is produced and used,” said Neptune Energy’s Executive Chairman, Sam Laidlaw.
“Against a backdrop of underinvestment, lower commodity prices of the last decade have been replaced by surging prices and marked volatility. This is particularly the case with natural gas, due not only to the war, but also increased awareness of its importance in the energy transition. Having invested more than $7 billion to transform Neptune over the past five years, we are well positioned for these changes, with a portfolio that now has greater production capacity, more lower carbon development opportunities and a stronger balance sheet,” Laidlaw said.
