雪佛龙第一季度收入同比翻两番

据OE网站4月29日报道，由于石油和天然气价格飙升，雪佛龙公司第一季度利润较去年同期几乎翻了两番，远超华尔街的预测。

据Refinitiv的数据显示，美国第二大石油生产商周五公布调整后收益为65亿美元，或每股3.36美元，较华尔街平均估计的3.28美元高出8美分。雪佛龙去年同一季度的收入为17亿美元，即每股90美分。

全球最大的能源公司从不断上涨的石油和天然气价格中获得了丰厚的利润。

全球基准布伦特原油第一季度均价为每桶114美元。随着需求反弹到接近疫情前的水平，全球各地的能源供应已经收紧。

雪佛龙第一季度的收入增长了70%，达到544亿美元，高于Refinitiv预测的479亿美元。

该生产商正利用其巨额利润增加对生产和可再生燃料的投资，向股东返还现金，并偿还债务。

该公司在美国的油气产量较上年同期增长了10%。

今年第一季度，雪佛龙在美国最大的非常规盆地——二叠纪盆地的油气日产量达到创纪录的69.2万桶，并将全年预期提高至70万～75万桶。

雪佛龙首席执行官Mike Wirth在财报中表示，雪佛龙正在尽其所能增加国内供应。

Chevron 1Q Income Nearly Quadruples as Oil Prices Surge

Chevron Corp's first-quarter profit nearly quadrupled from the same period a year ago, easily surpassing Wall Street's forecasts as oil and gas prices surged following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The second-largest U.S. oil producer on Friday posted adjusted earnings of $6.5 billion, or $3.36 per share, 8 cents above Wall Street's mean estimate of $3.28, according to Refinitiv. Chevron earned $1.7 billion, or 90 cents per share, in the same quarter last year. 

The world's largest energy companies have profited handsomely on the back of rising oil and gas prices.

The global benchmark Brent averaged $114 per barrel in the first quarter. Energy supplies have tightened around the globe as demand has rebounded to near pre-pandemic levels.

Chevron's revenue rose 70% to $54.4 billion in the first quarter, above the Refinitiv consensus of $47.9 billion.

The producer is using its massive profit to raise investments in production and in renewable fuels, return cash to shareholders and pay down debt.

The company's U.S. oil and gas production rose by 10% from the year-ago period. 

In the first quarter, Chevron pumped a record of 692,000 barrels of oil and gas per day (boed) in the Permian, the top U.S. unconventional basin, and boosted full-year guidance to a range of 700,000 to 750,000 boed.

"Chevron is doing its part to grow domestic supply," Chevron's Chief Executive Mike Wirth said in an earnings release.
