據5月8日Neftegaz.Ru消息：受疫情和油價暴跌的影響，挪威石油公司Equinor利潤下滑了98％。

該公司一季度調整后收益為20.5億美元，低于2019年同期的41.9億美元。稅后調整后利潤為5.6億美元，低于去年同期的15.4億美元。液體和天然氣的價格下跌影響了該季度的收益。

國際財務報告準則一季度凈營業收入為0.6億美元，低于2019年同期的47.3億美元。今年第一季度，第一季度凈利潤為-7.1億美元，低于2019年第一季度的17.1億美元。

凈營業收入受到24.5億美元凈減值費用的影響，其中8.6億美元涉及挪威大陸架的資產，14億美元涉及國際投資組合。減值主要是由短期價格假設的減少所致。

由于英國Mariner油田的原因，2020年一季度的產量創下新記錄，但首席執行官埃爾達·薩特雷表示，Equinor今后將“優先考慮價值，而不是銷量”。

Equinor已經開始減少業務，尤其是在美國本土，并將視需要考慮更多。由于危機，該公司取消了今年剩余時間的進一步生產指導，但表示預計2019年至2026年之間的年均增長率為3％。

Equinor已經宣布了一項30億美元的“行動計劃”以應對經濟危機。此危機包括取消其股票回購計劃，并將股東股息削減三分之二。

薩特雷稱：“本季度我們的財務業績受到大宗商品價格下跌的影響。然而，在這種市場條件下，我們以創紀錄的高產量和穩健的現金流實現了強勁的運營業績。由于不確定性仍然很高，大宗商品價格非常低，致使第一季度末到第二季度初的差額有所增加。”

Norwegian Equinor’s profits crash by 98% due to oil price slump

Equinor saw its profits slide by 98% as the Covid-19 pandemic and oil price crash took effect.

Adjusted earnings were $2.05 billion in the 1st quarter, down from $4.19 billion in the same period in 2019. Adjusted earnings after tax were $0.56 billion, down from $1.54 billion in the same period last year. Lower prices for both liquids and gas impacted the earnings for the quarter.

IFRS net operating income was $0.06 billion in the 1st quarter, down from $4.73 billion in the same period of 2019. IFRS net income was negative $0.71 billion in the 1st quarter, down from positive $1.71 billion in the 1st quarter of 2019.

Net operating income was impacted by net impairment charges of $2.45 billion, of which $0.86 billion relates to assets at the Norwegian continental shelf and $1.40 billion to the international portfolio. Impairments are mainly triggered by reduction in short-term price assumptions.

Despite achieving record high production in the 1st quarter of 2020, partly due to the Mariner field in the UK, CEO Eldar Saetre said Equinor will “prioritise value over volume” going forward.

Equinor has already started activity reductions, particularly in the US onshore, and will consider more as necessary. The firm has scrapped any further production guidance for the rest of the year due to the crisis, but said it expects annual growth of 3% on average between 2019 and 2026.

Equinor already announced a $3 billion “action plan” to deal with the economic crisis, including cancelling its share buyback programme and cutting the shareholder dividend by two-thirds.

Saetre said: “Our financial results in the quarter were impacted by the lower commodity prices. However, we delivered strong operational performance with record high production and solid cash flow under these market conditions. Uncertainty remains high with very low commodity prices and increased differentials towards the end of first quarter and in the start of the 2nd quarter."
