埃尼集团产量创纪录以缓解利润下滑

据油气新闻10月30日消息，能源集团埃尼第三季度的石油和天然气产量创下历史最高水平，缓解了由于石油和天然气价格疲软而导致的季度收益下降的影响。

这家意大利公司90%的营业利润来自上游的石油和天然气业务。在莫桑比克和埃及的重大天然气发现，使该公司成为业内发现储量最大的公司，提升了其在产油国中的地位。

埃尼集团上周五表示，在其巨型气田祖尔气田以及墨西哥新勘探区块的推动下，在截至9月份的三个月里，该公司的石油产量增加了6%，至每天189万桶油当量。

该公司预计第四季度产量将进一步增加，并表示今年将增加7亿桶油当量，而此前的预估为6亿桶。

受大宗商品价格下跌和Eni Norge收益损失的影响，第三季度经调整后的净利润下降44%，至7.76亿欧元(约合8.62亿美元)。

该结果略高于分析师认为的预估利润7.7亿欧元。

该公司首席执行官Claudio Descalzi表示，尽管第三季度天然气价格下跌了50%，但公司的现金流依然保持稳定。

Eni Hits Record Production as Profit Falls

Energy group Eni achieved its highest ever oil and gas production rate for a third quarter, softening the blow of lower quarterly earnings because of weak oil and gas prices.

The Italian company generates around 90% of its operating profit from its upstream oil and gas business. Major gas discoveries in Mozambique and Egypt have given the company the strongest discovery record in the industry, boosting its credentials with oil-producing nations.

Eni said on Friday production jumped 6% to 1.89 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) in the three months to September, boosted by its giant Zohr field in Egypt and new acreage in Mexico.

The company expects production to increase further in the final quarter and said it would now add 700 million boed of output this year from a previous estimate of 600 million boed.

Third-quarter adjusted net profit fell 44% to 776 million euros ($862 million), impacted by lower commodity prices and the loss of earnings from its former Eni Norge business.

The result was just above an analyst consensus provided by the company of 0.77 billion euros.

CEO Claudio Descalzi said despite the 50% drop in gas prices in the third quarter，the ?cash flow remained solid.
