?？松梨谙鳒p100億美元資本投資

據(jù)今日海上能源網(wǎng)站4月7日消息 石油巨頭?？松梨谡龑?020年的資本支出削減30%，并將現(xiàn)金運(yùn)營支出削減15%，以應(yīng)對(duì)疫情造成的供過于求和需求疲軟導(dǎo)致的大宗商品價(jià)格走低。

該公司周二表示，目前預(yù)計(jì)2020年的資本投資約為230億美元，低于此前宣布的330億美元?，F(xiàn)金運(yùn)營費(fèi)用減少15%是由提高效率和降低成本的深思熟慮的行動(dòng)所推動(dòng)，其中包括預(yù)期的較低能源成本。

資本支出削減的最大份額將在二疊紀(jì)盆地，那里的短期周期投資可以更容易地根據(jù)市場(chǎng)情況進(jìn)行調(diào)整，同時(shí)長(zhǎng)期保持價(jià)值。在市場(chǎng)環(huán)境改善之前，活動(dòng)減少將影響鉆井和油井完工的速度。

ExxonMobil shaves $10 billion off its capital investment for 2020

Oil major ExxonMobil is reducing its 2020 capital spending by 30 percent and lowering cash operating expenses by 15 percent in response to low commodity prices resulting from oversupply and demand weakness from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Capital investments for 2020 are now expected to be about $23 billion, down from the previously announced $33 billion, the company said on Tuesday. The 15 percent decrease in cash operating expenses is driven by deliberate actions to increase efficiencies and reduce costs, and includes expected lower energy costs.

“After a thorough evaluation of the impacts of the pandemic and market conditions, we have worked closely with business partners to plan and execute capital adjustments that preserve long-term value, maximize cost efficiency, and put us in the strongest position when market conditions improve,” said Darren Woods, chairman and chief executive officer of Exxon Mobil Corporation.

“The long-term fundamentals that underpin the company’s business plans have not changed — population and energy demand will grow, and the economy will rebound. Our capital allocation priorities also remain unchanged. Our objective is to continue investing in industry-advantaged projects to create value, preserve cash for the dividend and make appropriate and prudent use of our balance sheet.”

ExxonMobil continues to monitor market developments and can exercise additional reduction options if required. As market conditions evolve, the company will continue evaluating the impacts of decreased demand on its 2020 production levels as well as longer-term production impacts.

The largest share of the capital spending reduction will be in the Permian Basin, where short-cycle investments can be more readily adjusted to respond to market conditions, while preserving value over the long term. Reduced activity will affect the pace of drilling and well completions until market conditions improve.
