據道瓊斯4月1日消息，英國石油公司(BP)股價周三下跌，此前該公司表示，預計今年第一財季業績將受到當前需求疲弱和大宗商品價格走低的影響，并預計當季將計入10億美元的非現金減值支出。

這家英國石油天然氣集團稱，預計第一季度上游業務產量將較前季下降，為每日255萬至260萬桶油當量。

BP表示，由于一些國家實施限制措施以遏制疫情的蔓延，預計第一季度燃油、航空燃油和潤滑油的需求將顯著下降，且降幅會不斷擴大。

該公司還稱，其150億美元的資產剝離計劃仍有望在2021年年中完成，但鑒于當前交易環境的波動性，在今年底前獲得100億美元的資產剝離收入可能會隨著交易的完成而調整。

BP Expects 1Q Results to be Hurt by Virus, Weak Demand

Shares in BP PLC fell Wednesday after the company said it expects results in the first quarter of this year to be hit by the current weak demand and low commodity pricing, and that it estimates a $1 billion noncash impairment charge for the period.

The British oil-and-gas group said it anticipates a reduced first-quarter upstream production compared with the previous quarter, in the range of 2.55 million to 2.6 million barrels of oil equivalent a day.

BP said it also expects a "significant and growing decline in demand for fuels, jet fuel and lubricants" in the first quarter due to the restrictions imposed in a number of countries to contain the spread of coronavirus.

The company also said its $15 billion divestment program remains on track toward its completion in mid-2021, but that the receipt of the $10 billion of divestment proceeds by the end of this year might be revised as transactions complete, given the volatility of the current trading environment.
