油價前景疲弱 圖洛損失將高達(dá)17億美元

據(jù)路透社7月29日報道，圖洛石油周三表示，將在上半年財報中計入14-17億美元的稅前減損，因為該公司規(guī)模較大的競爭對手們下調(diào)了油價預(yù)期。

周二收盤后，圖洛的市值約為5.08億美元，凈負(fù)債30億美元，未動用的流動資產(chǎn)和自由現(xiàn)金約為5億美元。

今年，該公司計劃在投資和項目退役方面投入約3.65億美元，并在一份交易聲明中補(bǔ)充稱，以當(dāng)前價格計算，預(yù)計其2020年現(xiàn)金流將實現(xiàn)盈虧平衡。

圖洛石油以每桶57美元的底價對沖了2020年60%的銷售額，以每桶51美元的底價對沖了2021年44%的銷售額。由于近期油價預(yù)期下調(diào)，且公司將長期油價預(yù)期從65美元/桶修正至60美元/桶，預(yù)計上半年的實質(zhì)性減值和勘探注銷額將在14-17億美元（稅前）之間。

一位發(fā)言人補(bǔ)充道，投資組合的各個方面都出現(xiàn)了虧損。為了從撤資中籌集至少10億美元的資金，圖洛在4月份同意以5.75億美元的價格出售其在烏干達(dá)陸上油田的股份。不過，該協(xié)議仍需與烏干達(dá)當(dāng)局達(dá)成稅收協(xié)議。

在肯尼亞，道達(dá)爾和圖洛都在尋求減持股份，但在5月份道達(dá)爾稱冠狀病毒導(dǎo)致不可抗力后，最終投資決定再次被推遲。

本月接任首席執(zhí)行官的拉胡爾迪爾(Rahul Dhir)表示，下半年的重點(diǎn)是在西非的生產(chǎn)，以及減少債務(wù)和成本。

UPDATE 1-Tullow Oil sees impairment of up to $1.7 bln on lower price outlook

Tullow Oil said on Wednesday it was set to book $1.4-1.7 billion in impairments before tax in its half-year results, as it follows larger rivals in lowering its oil price forecasts.

Tullow, which had a market capitalisation of around $508 million after markets closed on Tuesday, had $3 billion in net debt and untapped liquidity and free cash of around $500 million.

It plans to spend around $365 million on investments and decomissioning this year. Tullow added in a trading statement its 2020 cash flow was forecast to break even at current prices.

It has hedged 60% of its sales this year at a floor price of $57 a barrel and 44% of next year’s at a floor of $51 a barrel.

“As a result of lower near-term oil price forecasts, and a revision in the Group’s long-term oil price assumption from $65/bbl to $60/bbl, the Group expects material impairment and exploration write-offs to be recorded at the half-year in the range of $1.4-1.7 billion (pre-tax),” Tullow said.

The impairments are across the portfolio, a spokesman added.

In a quest to raise at least $1 billion from divestments, Tullow agreed in April to sell its stake in Ugandan onshore fields to Total for $575 million.

The deal remains subject to agreeing a tax arrangement with the Ugandan authorities.

In Kenya, where both Total and Tullow are seeking to reduce their stakes, a final investment decision has been delayed once more after it called force majeure in May due to the coronavirus.

Rahul Dhir, who took over as chief executive this month, said that the focus in the second half is on its West African production, and on reducing debt and costs.
