石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯1月31日消息，荷兰皇家壳牌集团周四公布，2018年第四季度利润大幅增加，受益于石油、天然气和液化天然气（LNG）价格的高企。 这家英荷石油巨头公布，在截至去年12月31日的三个月内，按净当前供应成本计算的利润（CCS）（相当于美国油企业绩报告中的净利润数据）为73.3亿美元，相比之下上年同期为30.8亿美元。 当季调整后CCS利润为58.1亿美元，这是壳牌更为青睐的一项指标。相比之下，Vara Research给出的平均预期为52.8亿美元。 当季归属股东的净利润升至55.9亿美元，相比之下上年同期为38.1亿美元。 壳牌还称，第四季度总收入增长19%，至1,046亿美元。 此外，该公司还公布了股票回购计划方面的最新消息。壳牌去年启动了备受期待的250亿美元股票回购计划，并称起初将回购20亿美元股票，这已在去年10月19日完成。该公司周四称，第三批将进一步回购25亿美元股票。 该公司表示，第四季度经营现金流从上年同期的72.8亿美元增至220.2亿美元，当季产量则基本持平于380万桶油当量/日。 对于2019年第一季度，壳牌预计，由于受到业务剥离影响，整体天然气和上游部门产量将下降。另外，由于该公司在阿根廷剥离业务，今年第一季度石油产品销量料同比下降。 庞晓华 摘译自 道琼斯 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.
