澳大利亞桑托斯季度收入與產(chǎn)量均下滑

據(jù)世界天然氣網(wǎng)站4月23日消息 澳大利亞天然氣生產(chǎn)商和GLNG運營商桑托斯（Santos）報告稱，受石油和天然氣價格暴跌的影響，收入減少了13%。

桑托斯1-3季度的銷售收入從一年前的10.2億美元下降到8.83億美元。

這家澳大利亞公司在此期間產(chǎn)量為1790萬桶油當(dāng)量，低于去年的1840萬桶油當(dāng)量。

桑托斯周四表示，英國液化天然氣平均價格為8.88美元/每百萬英熱單位，上年同期為10.79美元/每百萬英熱單位。

然而，庫珀盆地、GLNG終端和固定價格合同的強勁天然氣產(chǎn)量幫助桑托斯公司保持信心，相信它能抵御疫情造成的需求下滑。

桑托斯負責(zé)人凱文·加拉赫表示：“我們正在采取果斷行動，確保桑托斯在一個較低的油價環(huán)境中處于有利地位”。

他說：“我們擁有強大的流動性，有超過3億美元的可用資金，在當(dāng)前油價下，我們的債務(wù)契約有足夠的空間在未來數(shù)年內(nèi)保持?！?/span>

桑托斯計劃在2020年實現(xiàn)25美元/桶的自由現(xiàn)金流盈虧平衡油價。

全球油價基準(zhǔn)布倫特原油本月迄今下跌10%，至20.37美元/桶。今年以來，這一價格下降了69%。

Santos quarterly revenue, production down

Australian gas producer and GLNG operator, Santos reported a 13 per cent decrease in revenue, affected by the slump in oil and gas prices.

Santos sales revenue for the January-March quarter fell to $883 million from $1.02 billion a year ago.

The Australian company produced 17.9 million barrels of oil equivalent during the period, down from 18.4 mmboe last year.

Average liquefied natural gas prices amounted to $8.88 per metric million British thermal unit, compared to $10.79 per mmBtu a year earlier, Santos said on Thursday.

However, strong gas production in the Cooper basin, GLNG terminal and fixed-price contracts are helping Santos remain confident it can weather the demand slump caused by the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.

Santos head Kevin Gallagher said “decisive action is being taken to ensure Santos is well-positioned in a lower oil price environment”.

“The current environment is a time for discipline. We have a strong liquidity position with over $3 billion available and we have sufficient headroom in our debt covenants for a number of years at current oil prices”, Santos head Kevin Gallagher said.

Santos is targeting a free cash flow breakeven oil price of $25 a barrel in 2020.

Brent crude, the global oil price benchmark, dropped by 10 per cent this month so far to $20.37 a barrel. The price declined by 69 per cent this year so far.
