据OE网站4月22日报道，周四，澳大利亚天然气生产商桑托斯（Santos Ltd）公布第一季度收入增长9.2%，得益于全球经济从去年新冠疫情的低点复苏，大宗商品市场走强，并预测第二季度液化天然气(LNG)价格将走强。
去年在新冠疫情爆发使能源市场遭受重创后，过去几个月，放松限制和能源需求增加，提振了大宗商品价格。今年1月，LNG价格创历史新高。
该公司首席执行官首席执行官Kevin Gallagher表示，大宗商品价格上涨和低自由现金流盈亏平衡油价使企业受益。尽管与石油相关的液化天然气价格滞后了三个月，第二季度的价格应该会走强。
然而，该季度液化天然气的销售均价从一年前的8.88美元/百万英热单位(mmBtu)降至6.12美元/百万英热单位。
桑托斯表示，该公司在此期间生产了2480万桶油当量(mmboe)，高于去年的1790万桶油当量，略高于RBC估计的2440万桶油当量。
该公司的收入从上年同期的8.83亿美元增至9.64亿美元，但未达到RBC估计的10.5亿美元。

Santos Posts 9% Revenue Rise, Sees Higher LNG Prices in Q2
Australian gas producer Santos Ltd on Thursday posted a 9.2% rise in first-quarter revenue, helped by firmer commodity markets as global economies recover from last year's pandemic lows, and forecast stronger liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices for the second quarter.
Easing curbs and increasing energy demand in the last few months have lifted commodity prices after the COVID-19 outbreak battered energy markets in 2020. LNG prices hit a record high in January this year.
"Business benefited from higher commodity prices and a low free cash flow breakeven oil price. This was despite the three-month lag in oil-linked LNG prices, which should see stronger prices in the second quarter," CEO Kevin Gallagher said.
However, average sales prices for its LNG during the quarter fell to $6.12 per metric million British thermal units (mmBtu) from $8.88 per mmBtu a year earlier.
Santos said it produced 24.8 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) during the period, up from 17.9 mmboe last year, narrowly beating the RBC estimate of 24.4 mmboe.
The company's revenue rose to $964 million from $883 million a year earlier but missed an RBC estimate of $1.05 billion.
