據離岸工程網站8月4日消息 康菲石油周四表示，預計本季度減產量約為上季度減產量的一半，并將在9月底前恢復大部分產量。此前，由于油價暴跌41%，該公司4月份減產約三分之一。

該公司在6月早些時候恢復了部分被削減的產量，因為原油價格恢復了一些歷史性的損失，當時為遏制冠狀病毒的傳播而實施的封鎖措施削弱了燃料需求。

在截至6月30日的第二季度，除利比亞外，康菲石油的總產量下降了24%。

這家總部位于休斯敦的公司公布調整后每股虧損92美分，遠高于分析師平均預期的58美分。其股價下跌5.7%，同時原油價格也下跌，因為激增的冠狀病毒感染威脅到燃料需求的恢復。

不過，該公司首席執行官蘭斯相信，公司擁有約130億美元的流動性，完全有能力從原油價格不可避免的復蘇中獲益。

“我們可以更好地抵御價格波動，選擇采取減產等措施，并進行高價值、低成本的補強交易。”

官蘭斯補充稱，除了其他因素外，公司還考慮可能放緩的復蘇速度，以決定其資本需求。

由于美國輕質原油和布倫特原油的平均價格也下跌了50%以上，康菲石油第二季度的每桶收益減少了一半以上。

該公司在完成澳大利亞西部資產剝離后實現了5.94億美元的收益，而其在塞諾夫斯能源公司的股份實現了5.51億美元的未實現收益。

BP、雪佛龍和埃克森美孚預計也將出現罕見的季度虧損，而荷蘭皇家殼牌則依靠蓬勃發展的貿易業務勉強避免了這一損失。

Germany Gov't to Fund Offshore Wind-to-Green Hydrogen Project

The German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy has sent a funding confirmation to partners working on the WESTKüSTE 100 green hydrogen project.

The WESTKüSTE 100 project, which will produce green hydrogen via electricity generated by offshore wind turbines, will be developed by EDF Germany, Holcim Germany, OGE, ?rsted, Raffinerie Heide, Stadtwerke Heide, and thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions as well as the Heide region development agency and Westküste University of Applied Sciences.

The project, described as the first large-scale hydrogen project in Germany within the Reallabor (real-world laboratory) framework, can now enter its first phase.

A newly founded joint venture, "H2 Westküste GmbH", consisting of EDF Germany, ?rsted, and the Heide refinery, intends to build a 30-megawatt electrolyzer.

This can produce green hydrogen from offshore wind energy and provide information on the operation, maintenance, control, and grid services of the plant.

Furthermore, pipeline transportation of hydrogen and the use of hydrogen in existing and new infrastructure around Heide will be tested. The consortium will also initiate the work to develop the vision of a large-scale sector coupling including a 700MW electrolyzer system into a concrete project.

Martin Neubert, Executive Vice President and CEO, ?rsted Offshore: "The funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economíc Affairs and Energy to the Westküste 100 project is a significant step forward for our hydrogen business. Westküste 100 is our third hydrogen project - and the first one in Germany - found eligible for public funding, and we're very excited about the prospects of supporting heavy industries and heavy transport with clean alternatives based on renewable hydrogen."

Producing hydrogen has traditionally been associated with high carbon emissions, but by using renewable electricity, e.g. from an offshore wind farm, the process of producing hydrogen from water (electrolysis) can be completely decarbonized. Energy-intensive industries and the transportation sector will have the opportunity to reduce their carbon intensity by using renewable hydrogen, the wind farm developer has explained.
