凱恩能源總部位于愛(ài)丁堡，該公司首席執(zhí)行官西蒙·湯姆森（Simon Thomson）表示，公司2019年稅前利潤(rùn)為9030萬(wàn)英鎊，同比增長(zhǎng)約9.2億英鎊，這讓公司“處于有利地位”。

隨著2019年收入增長(zhǎng)超過(guò)9300萬(wàn)英鎊至4.043億英鎊，湯姆森向投資者保證，凱恩在英國(guó)的資產(chǎn)“仍然具有彈性”，能夠抵御油價(jià)暴跌。他表示：“從油價(jià)波動(dòng)的角度來(lái)看，我們處于有利地位。Catcher和Kraken的生產(chǎn)成本均低于每桶20美元。我們相信，在動(dòng)蕩時(shí)期，甚至在能源轉(zhuǎn)型時(shí)期，這些資產(chǎn)都是有彈性的。即使到2050年全球能源需求預(yù)計(jì)將減少一半，我們的項(xiàng)目仍處于正回報(bào)狀態(tài)。”

除了在Catcher和Kraken持有股份外，在倫敦上市的凱恩在以色列、毛里塔尼亞、塞內(nèi)加爾、科特迪瓦、墨西哥和蘇里南均有股份。

Cairn Energy ‘won’t change’ North Sea exploration plan despite oil price meltdown, chief says

This week’s oil price meltdown “won’t change” any short-term plans for Cairn Energy but could offer an opportunity, the Scottish oil firm’s boss said yesterday.

Simon Thomson, chief executive of Edinburgh-headquartered Cairn said pre-tax profits of ￡90.3 million for 2019, up from losses of around ￡920m the previous year, left his firm “well positioned”.

With revenue increasing by more than ￡93m to ￡404,3m last year, Mr Thomson reassured investors that Cairn’s UK assets “remain resilient” and able to withstand an oil price slump.

He said: “We are well-positioned from the point of view of oil price volatility. Catcher and Kraken production costs are below $20 a barrel.

“It’s a point to emphasise, that anything that we look at has to satisfy us that it can be resilient in a period of volatility, or indeed a period of energy transition.

“Even with an expected halving of global energy demand leading up to 2050, our projects still remain in positive return territory.”

He added: “We’re very focused on ensuring the portfolio can remain resilient to these types of challenges.”

As well as stakes in Catcher and Kraken, London-listed Cairn has interests in Israel, Mauritania, Senegal, Cote d’Ivoire, Mexico and Suriname.
