石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據道瓊斯1月31日消息，荷蘭皇家殼牌集團周四公布，2018年第四季度利潤大幅增加，受益于石油、天然氣和液化天然氣（LNG）價格的高企。 這家英荷石油巨頭公布，在截至去年12月31日的三個月內，按凈當前供應成本計算的利潤（CCS）（相當于美國油企業績報告中的凈利潤數據）為73.3億美元，相比之下上年同期為30.8億美元。 當季調整后CCS利潤為58.1億美元，這是殼牌更為青睞的一項指標。相比之下，Vara Research給出的平均預期為52.8億美元。 當季歸屬股東的凈利潤升至55.9億美元，相比之下上年同期為38.1億美元。 殼牌還稱，第四季度總收入增長19%，至1,046億美元。 此外，該公司還公布了股票回購計劃方面的最新消息。殼牌去年啟動了備受期待的250億美元股票回購計劃，并稱起初將回購20億美元股票，這已在去年10月19日完成。該公司周四稱，第三批將進一步回購25億美元股票。 該公司表示，第四季度經營現金流從上年同期的72.8億美元增至220.2億美元，當季產量則基本持平于380萬桶油當量/日。 對于2019年第一季度，殼牌預計，由于受到業務剝離影響，整體天然氣和上游部門產量將下降。另外，由于該公司在阿根廷剝離業務，今年第一季度石油產品銷量料同比下降。 龐曉華 摘譯自 道瓊斯 原文如下： Shell 4Q Profit Rose After Benefiting from Higher Oil and Gas Prices Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) on Thursday reported a rise in profit for the fourth quarter of 2018, saying it had benefited from high prices in oil, gas and liquid natural gas. The British-Dutch oil giant said its profit for the three months ended Dec. 31 on a net current cost-of-supplies basis–a number similar to the net income that U.S. oil companies report–was $7.33 billion compared with $3.08 billion in the year-earlier period. Adjusted CCS earnings–Shell’s preferred metric–came to $5.81 billion in the fourth quarter, beating a consensus estimate from Vara Research that forecast $5.28 billion in adjusted CCS earnings. Net profit attributable to shareholders for the fourth quarter rose to $5.59 billion from $3.81 billion in the year-earlier period. Total revenue for the fourth quarter rose 19% to $104.6 billion, Shell said. The company provided an update on its share buyback program. Last year Shell kicked off a much-awaited $25 billion share-buyback program by saying it would start with an initial $2 billion, which it completed on Oct. 19. Shell said Thursday that it will buy back a further $2.5 billion of shares in the third tranche. Cash flow from operations for the quarter rose to $22.02 billion, from $7.28 billion in the year-earlier period the company said, while production stayed relatively flat at 3.8 million barrels of oil equivalent a day. Looking ahead to the first quarter of 2019, Shell forecast declining production in its integrated gas and upstream divisions, citing the effect of divestments. Oil products sales volumes are expected to fall in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the year-earlier period due to the company’s divestment in Argentina. ?
