石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據普氏能源資訊倫敦10月23日消息稱，挪威海上工程集團Kvaerner周二預測，由于生產商繼續批準新項目，該公司第三季度訂單增加一倍后，區域上游產品支出將進一步增長。 這家總部位于奧斯陸的集團表示，第三季度海上油氣平臺及其他能源基礎設施的訂單從去年同期的5.88億挪威克朗上升至11.5億挪威克朗（合1.208億美元）。 與此同時，Kvaerner表示截至9月30日，該公司積壓的訂單比一年前增加了30％，達到106億挪威克朗。 Kvaerner在第三季度財報中表示：“現在市場前景更加強勁。特別是中型潛在客戶的數量正在增加?！?該公司表示：“預計在2019年期間，一些關鍵的前景公司將通過重要的決策關口，進一步推進項目審批和項目執行?！?隨著石油價格保持在70美元/桶以上，自由現金流量的增加，上游行業的信心回升，石油和天然氣行業項目審批自去年年底開始有所增加。 從地區來看，自2017年中期以來超過50%的油價回升，推動了這個成熟的北海油氣省的活動增加，一些企業推動了2014年油價暴跌之后擱置的項目。 事實上，根據能源分析師Wood Mackenzie的說法，在Kvaerner發表評論的前一天，英國海上項目的投資決策達到39億美元，創下2015年以來的最高水平。此前，英國石油公司(BP)和米諾澤諾石油在倫敦批準了兩項油田開發項目。分析師還預測，在未來18個月內，由規劃中的巨型資本密集型液化天然氣工廠和新型深水石油開發項目的推動，將涌現一波新的大型油氣項目。 上周，美國油田服務巨頭斯倫貝謝表示，預計明年其國際部門的收入將實現兩位數的增長，這主要得益于國家石油公司和全球獨立企業的支出增加和項目得到審批。 人們普遍預計，石油巨頭下周將開始公布第三季度收益，屆時將公布更高的利潤，并進一步改善自由現金流。 陳菲 摘譯自 普氏能源資訊 原文如下： Norway’s Kvaerner predicts stronger upstream oil, natural gas outlook as orders jump Norwegian offshore engineering group Kvaerner predicted Tuesday further growth in regional upstream spending after its order intake doubled in value during the third quarter as producers continue to sanction new projects. The Oslo-based group said orders for offshore oil and gas platforms and other energy infrastructure rose to NOK1.15 billion ($120.8 million) in the third quarter, up from NOK588 million the year-ago period. At the same time, Kvaerner said its order backlog as of September 30 stood 30% higher than a year ago at NOK10.6 billion. “There is now a stronger market outlook. In particular, there is an increase in the number of medium-sized prospects,” Kvaerner said in a third-quarter earnings statement. “During 2019, it is expected that several key prospects will pass important decision gates and move further towards project sanctioning and project execution,” it said. An uptick in oil and gas sector project sanctions began towards the end of last year, as confidence returned to the upstream sector with free cash flow generation building as oil prices held over $70/b. Regionally, the more than 50% oil price recovery since mid-2017 has fueled increased activity in the mature North Sea oil and gas province, with a number of players pushing ahead with projects previously shelved after the 2014 oil price slump. Indeed, Kvaerner’s comments come a day after investment decisions for UK offshore projects hit $3.9 billion, the highest since 2015, following London’s approval of two field developments by BP and minnow Zennor Petroleum, according to energy analysts Wood Mackenzie. The analysts have also predicted a new wave of oil and gas mega-projects over the next 18 months fueled by planned giant, capital-intensive LNG plants and new deepwater oil developments. Last week, US oilfield service giant Schlumberger said it expects to see double-digit revenue growth from its international division next year, driven mostly by higher spending and project approvals from national oil companies and global independents. Oil majors are widely expected to report higher profits and further improvement in free cash flow generation next week when they start reporting Q3 earnings. ?
