隨著油價暴跌 殼牌減記8億美元

據(jù)3月31日路透社報道，荷蘭皇家殼牌公司預(yù)計，隨著油價暴跌，其業(yè)務(wù)進程也在放緩，該公司將在2020年第一季度減記至多8億美元。殼牌下調(diào)了2020年油氣價格預(yù)期，導致稅后減值費用在4億至8億美元之間。

當前形勢下全球需求下滑，原油供應(yīng)過剩，基準的布倫特原油價格在第一季度下跌了約65%，周二跌至23美元/桶以下。

與2019年第四季度相比，殼牌的石油產(chǎn)量預(yù)計將下降4.5%，而液化天然氣產(chǎn)量將下降2.3%。

Shell to write down up to $800 million after oil price crash

Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) expects to write down up to $800 million in the first quarter of 2020 following a slump in oil prices that has also slowed the energy giant’s operations.

Shell lowered its oil and gas price outlook for 2020, resulting in a post-tax impairment charge in the range of $400-$800 million, it said.

Benchmark Brent crude prices fell by around 65% in the first quarter and were trading at below $23 a barrel on Tuesday as a result of a sharp drop in global demand due to the coronavirus and pledges by Saudi Arabia and Russia to raise output.

Shell’s oil production was expected to fall by 4.5% versus the fourth quarter of 2019 while liquefied natural gas (LNG) volumes were set to decline by 2.3%.
