澳大利亞桑托斯將計(jì)入5.6億美元減值損失

據(jù)7月21日Offshore Energy消息：澳大利亞天然氣生產(chǎn)商和GLNG運(yùn)營商桑托斯周二表示，受疫情影響，公司將計(jì)入高達(dá)5.6億美元的稅后非現(xiàn)金減值損失。

桑托斯預(yù)計(jì)下個(gè)月的半年業(yè)績中，稅后非現(xiàn)金支出將達(dá)到4.9億至5.6億美元。

其中包括稅前6.4億至7億美元的GLNG項(xiàng)目減值，以及稅前6千萬至1億美元的庫珀盆地和阿馬德烏斯盆地勘探資產(chǎn)減值。

這家澳大利亞公司表示，減值不會(huì)對其儲(chǔ)備產(chǎn)生任何影響。

由于疫情造成的石油和天然氣價(jià)格下跌，桑托斯與其他許多能源公司一樣，采取了這一舉措，對資產(chǎn)進(jìn)行減記。

該公司已修正油價(jià)展望，預(yù)計(jì)布倫特原油價(jià)格今年將達(dá)到每桶45美元，并在未來4年逐步上漲，至2024年達(dá)到每桶62.5美元。

這意味著該公司將其長期價(jià)格預(yù)期下調(diào)了10%以上，同時(shí)預(yù)計(jì)中短期內(nèi)復(fù)蘇將放緩。

桑托斯表示，預(yù)計(jì)減值支出將使其負(fù)債比率提高約1.5%，并補(bǔ)充稱，其債務(wù)契約“有足夠的回旋余地，在當(dāng)前油價(jià)的情況下，數(shù)年內(nèi)不會(huì)受到威脅”。

Santos to take up to $560 million impairment hit

Australian gas producer and GLNG operator Santos said on Tuesday it will book non-cash impairments of up to $560 million after tax due to the effects of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.

Santos expects to record non-cash charge in the range of $490-560 million after tax in its half-year results next month.

These include impairments of its GLNG project of $640-700 million before tax and exploration assets primarily in the Cooper and Amadeus Basins of $60-100 million before tax.

The Australian company says that the impairments will have no impact on its reserves.

With this move, Santos has joined many other energy players writing down assets due to the oil and gas price downturn caused by the pandemic.

The company has revised its oil price outlook and expects brent prices this year of $45 a barrel, rising gradually over the next four years to $62.50 per barrel in 2024.

This means the company reduced its long-term price assumption by over 10 percent while also forecasting a slower recovery in the short to medium term.

Santos said it expects the impairment charge to increase its gearing by about 1.5 percent adding that its debt covenants “have sufficient headroom and are not under threat at current oil prices for a number of years.”
