据10月31日Offshore Energy报道,壳牌公司目前的供应成本(CCS),不包括已确定的项目,在2019年第三季度下降了15%。供应成本从一年前的56亿美元下降到48亿美元。第三季度收入为866亿美元,低于去年同期的1001亿美元。
壳牌周四表示,与2018年第三季度相比,扣除已确定项目后,可分配给股东的收益为48亿美元,反映出石油、液化天然气和天然气的实际价格下降,以及炼油和化工的实际利润率下降。壳牌表示,这在一定程度上被液化天然气和石油产品交易和优化带来的巨大贡献,以及零售和全球商业领域实现的更高利润率所抵消。
上游业务收入从一年前的22亿美元下降至2019年第3季度的17亿美元。因为巴西雷亚尔贬值对递延税项的影响,14.6亿美元的资产出售收益,部分被3.44亿美元的减值和2.61亿美元的费用抵消。
第三季度,壳牌完成了出售其Olie-og Gasudvinding Danmark B.V.的股份,挪威能源公司ASA以19亿美元收购了丹麦地下财团36.8%的非经营性权益。
壳牌首席执行官Ben van Beurden评论道:“第三季度,尽管石油和天然气价格持续走低,化学品利润持续下降,但我们仍保持了强劲的现金流和盈利。我们的收益反映了我们面向市场的业务的弹性和利用市场条件的能力。我们回购250亿美元股票和减少净债务的意图没有改变。当前疲弱的宏观经济状况和充满挑战的前景,不可避免地会给将杠杆率降至25%,这对我们在2020年完成股票回购计划的完成带来不确定性。”
第三季度,壳牌石油和天然气总产量下降了1%。

Shell 3Q CCS earnings dip 15%
Oil and gas giant Shell’s current cost of supply earnings, excluding identified items, in the third quarter of 2019 fell 15 percent. CCS income was ~$4,8 billion, down from ~$5,6 billion a year ago. The third-quarter revenue was $86,6 billion, down from $100,1 billion a year ago.
Shell on Thursday said that compared with the third quarter 2018, CCS earnings attributable to shareholders excluding identified items were $4.8 billion, reflecting lower realized oil, LNG and gas prices, as well as weaker, realized refining and chemical margins. This was partly offset by significantly stronger contributions from LNG and oil products trading and optimization as well as higher realized margins in retail and global commerce, Shell said.
Upstream business earnings – which were to $1,7 billion in 3Q 2019, down from $2,2 billion a year ago – recorded a gain on sale of assets of $1,46 billion, but were offset in part by impairment of $344 million and a charge of $261 million related to the impact of the weakening Brazilian real on a deferred tax position.
During the quarter, Shell completed the sale of its shares in Shell Olie-og Gasudvinding Danmark B.V., which held a 36.8% non-operating interest in the Danish Underground Consortium, to Norwegian Energy Company ASA for $1.9 billion.
Shell CEO Ben van Beurden commented: “This quarter we continued to deliver strong cash flow and earnings, despite sustained lower oil and gas prices and chemicals margins. Our earnings reflect the resilience of our market-facing businesses and their ability to capitalize on market conditions, including very strong trading and optimization results this quarter.
“Our intention to buy back $25 billion in shares and reduce net debt remains unchanged. The prevailing weak macroeconomic conditions and challenging outlook inevitably create uncertainty about the pace of reducing gearing to 25% and completing the share buyback program within the 2020 timeframe.”
