据阿纳多卢新闻2月10日消息称，英国能源巨头bp周二宣布，受全球石油和天然气价格上涨的推动，该公司2021年实现利润128亿美元，而2020年亏损56.9亿美元。
该公司在2021年第四季度实现利润40.6亿美元，高于第三季度的33亿美元，原因是“更高的油气实现、更高的上游产量和更强的炼油商业优化”。
该公司成功地将净债务连续第七个季度减少到2021年底的306亿美元。
对于2022年，bp预计使用60%的剩余现金流用于股票回购，同时分配剩余的40%来加强资产负债表。
该公司表示：“平均而言，根据目前的预测，布伦特原油价格约为每桶60美元，且董事会每个季度都有决定权，预计每年能够回购约40亿美元的股票，并有能力在2025年之前每年增加4%左右的每股普通股股息。”
在谈到公司向综合能源公司转型的进展时，首席执行官Bernard Looney表示: “2021 年实现了其承诺——在转型的同时实现良好的利润。我们在向综合能源公司转型方面取得了长足进展：专注并提升我们的碳氢化合物业务，在便利性和移动性方面取得增长，并有纪律地建设低碳能源业务——目前在海上风力项目中拥有超过5吉瓦——以及在氢能源领域的重大机遇。”

bp posts $12.8 billion profit in 2021
British energy giant bp reported a $12.8 billion profit in 2021, compared to a $5.69 billion loss in 2020, fueled by higher global oil and gas prices, it announced on Tuesday.
The company recorded a $4.06 billion profit in the fourth quarter of 2021, up from a $3.3 billion profit in the third quarter, driven by 'higher oil and gas realizations, higher upstream production volumes and stronger refining commercial optimization.'
The company managed to reduce net debt for the seventh successive quarter to $30.6 billion at the end of 2021.
For 2022, bp anticipates using 60% surplus cash flow for share buybacks, while allocating the remaining 40% to strengthen the balance sheet.
'On average, based on bp’s current forecasts, at around $60 per barrel Brent and subject to the board’s discretion each quarter, bp expects to be able to deliver share buybacks of around $4 billion per annum and have capacity for an annual increase in the dividend per ordinary share of around 4 percent through 2025,' the company said.
Speaking on the company's progress transitioning to an Integrated Energy Company, Chief Executive Officer Bernard Looney, said, '2021 shows bp doing what we said we would - performing while transforming. We've made strong progress in our transformation to an integrated energy company: focusing and high grading our hydrocarbons business, growing in convenience and mobility and building with discipline a low carbon energy business - now with over 5GW in offshore wind projects - and significant opportunities in hydrogen.'
