据离岸工程网站2月17日消息 高油价和天然气价格使得西班牙雷普索尔REP.MC周四公布的收益高于市场预期,使其有更多的财力用于低碳业务,投资者对能源公司的要求越来越高。
随着疫情后全球逐渐复苏,经济增长的需求不断上升,2021年间布伦特原油基准价格LCoC1和亨利中心天然气价格分别上升了70%和86%。
对于雷普索尔来说,这意味着2021年的自由现金流年增长70%,至54.5亿欧元(61.9亿美元)。
公司盈利超出预期,调整后的净收入为8.72亿欧元,之前分析师一致认为将达到7.83亿欧元。
按当前供应成本计算的息税折旧摊销前利润(EBITDA)全年达到70.7亿欧元,高于公司67亿欧元的目标。
与包括英国石油在内的大型竞争对手保持一致。雷普索尔和TotalEnergies正在应对监管和市场压力,通过投资可再生能源减少全球变暖的碳排放。
它计划在2021年-2025年间将35%的投资分配给低碳活动。该计划包括出售其新建可再生能源发电单元的股份。
雷普索尔去年秋天也将股息提高了5%,至0.63欧元。
与此同时,该公司一直在努力应对1月15日秘鲁海岸的漏油事件,该公司将其归咎于数千英里外的汤加火山爆发引发的异常海浪。
雷普索尔周四表示,清理石油的工作正在进行中,估计泄露量为10396桶。(1美元=0.8800欧元)

Repsol Beats Forecasts Thanks to High Oil and Gas Prices
High oil and gas prices helped Spain's Repsol REP.MC to post earnings above market expectations on Thursday, giving it more financial firepower to spend on low-carbon operations investors are increasingly demanding of energy companies.
Benchmark Brent crude oil LCoC1 and Henry Hub gas rose 70% and 86% respectively during 2021 as tight gas supplies collided with rising demand as economies recovered from COVID-19 shutdowns.
For Repsol, this translated into a 70% annual increase in free cash flow from operations to 5.45 billion euros ($6.19 billion) for 2021.
Earnings beat forecasts provided by the company, with adjusted net income at 872 million euros against the company's analyst consensus of 783 million euros.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) at current cost of supply hit 7.07 billion euros in the full year, above the company's target of 6.7 billion euros.
In line with larger rivals including BP BP.L and TotalEnergies, Repsol is responding to regulatory and market pressure to reduce planet-warming carbon emissions by investing in renewable energy.
It plans to allocate 35% of investments between 2021 and 2025 to low-carbon activities. This plan includes an attempt to sell a stake in its newly created renewable energy generation unit.
Repsol also boosted its dividend 5% last autumn to 0.63 euros.
The company, meanwhile, has been grappling with an oil spill off the coast of Peru on Jan. 15, which it blamed on unusual waves triggered by a volcanic eruption thousands of miles away in Tonga.
Repsol said on Thursday that "intensive work" was underway to clean up the oil, which it estimated at 10,396 barrels. ($1 = 0.8800 euros)
