加拿大能源公司第四季度經營利潤好于預期

中國石化新聞網訊 據國外媒體2月17日卡爾加里報道，加拿大第2大油氣生產商加拿大能源公司（Encana Corp.）周四在卡爾加里公布的統計數據顯示，在現金稅收恢復幫助下，加拿大能源公司第四季度經營利潤好于預期。
這家總部設在卡爾加里的公司還更新了其2017年資本支出和油氣產量指導，預計今年的資本支出將在16億至18億美元，而油氣日產量預計在32萬至33萬桶油當量。
資本支出大致符合加拿大能源公司今年年初給出的預測，但遠遠高于2016年的資本支出，由于油價從兩年低迷恢復，這是加拿大生產商中信心的最新跡象。
加拿大能源公司首席執行官道格?薩特爾斯在第四季度收益電話會議上對投資者說，盡管一些油田服務成本膨脹，但是，他預計該公司能把鉆井和完井費用保持同比持平。
據悉，加拿大能源公司去年把鉆井和完井成本比2015年下降了30%。

Encana Posts Better-than-expected Operating Profit
WENews.com/February 17, 2017/Calgary
Encana Corp, Canada’s No. 2 oil and natural gas producer, reported a better-than-expected quarterly operating profit on Thursday, helped by a cash tax recovery.
The Calgary-based company also updated 2017 guidance, forecasting capital expenditures between $1.6 billion and $1.8 billion and production between 320,000 and 330,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
The capital spending estimate is roughly in line with earlier 2017 forecasts given by Encana but is well above 2016 spending, the latest sign of confidence among Canadian producers as crude prices recover from a two-year slump.
Encana Chief Executive Doug Suttles told investors on a fourth-quarter earnings call he expected the company would be able to hold year-over-year drilling and completion costs flat despite cost inflation in some oilfield services.
The company lowered those costs by 30 percent in 2016 versus the previous year.
