中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社伦敦报道,荷兰皇家壳牌公司发誓今年将坚持支出纪律,即便2018年利润跃升逾三分之一,达到2014年以来的最高水平214亿美元。 这家英荷石油公司也报告了现金的大幅增长,这进一步表明,自2014年石油市场低迷以来,成本节约正在渗透到其业务中。 石油和天然气价格同比上涨,以及原油和液化天然气交易的强劲贡献,推动了该公司第四季度的强劲表现。 壳牌公司的强劲业绩,将提高人们对该公司通过专注于深海石油和液化天然气等高利润业务来促进现金生成战略的信心。 壳牌首席执行官Ben van Beurden在一份声明中表示:“我们兑现了今年的承诺,包括完成300亿美元的撤资计划,启动关键的增长项目,同时保持资本投资纪律。在2019年,我们将继续以强有力的交付为重点,对资本投资采取纪律严明的做法,同时增加我们的现金流和回报。” 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下: Shell vows spending discipline even as 2018 profits soar Royal Dutch Shell vowed to stick to spending discipline this year even as 2018 profits jumped by more than a third to their highest since 2014 at $21.4 billion. The Anglo-Dutch oil company also reported a sharp rise in cash generation, in a further sign that cost savings since the 2014 oil market downturn are filtering into its operations. A strong performance in the fourth quarter was driven by higher oil and gas prices, year-on-year, as well as a stronger contribution from crude oil and liquefied natural gas trading. But Shell’s strong results are set to raise confidence in the company’s strategy of boosting cash generation by focusing on high margin businesses such as deepwater oil and liquefied natural gas. “We delivered on our promises for the year, including the completion of the $30 billion divestment program and starting up key growth projects while maintaining discipline on capital investment,” CEO Ben van Beurden said in a statement. “We will continue with a strong delivery focus in 2019, with a disciplined approach to capital investment and growing both our cash flow and returns.”
