據油田技術7月3日報道，埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)周四在一份監管申報文件中表示，該公司的油氣生產和煉油業務將在第二季度出現運營虧損，這為該公司今年再次出現季度虧損做了鋪墊。

埃克森美孚本季度面臨23億美元的虧損。這將是繼2010年第一季度虧損6.1億美元后，今年第二次出現虧損，具體結果將于7月31日公布。

該文件并未提及資產減記。不過，埃克森美孚表示，與之前的季度更新不同，這份清單可能并不包括所有費用。殼牌公司概述了高達220億美元的費用，英國石油公司則因石油需求和價格下跌減記175億美元。

由于油價大幅下跌，與第一季度相比，埃克森美孚的油氣業務將出現虧損。該公司在《投資者運營簡訊》(investor snapshot)中表示，這一降幅使該部門的營業利潤減少了25億至31億美元。

該公司表示，與第一季度相比，由于利潤率較低和物流方面的差異，煉油業績將較2020年第一季度下降8億至11億美元。

上個季度，埃克森美孚將日產量削減了40萬桶，資本支出削減了30%，其中大部分是頁巖油業務。

ExxonMobil to report loss in 2Q20

As reported by Reuters, ExxonMobil's oil and gas producing and refining businesses will report operating losses in 2Q20, it said in a regulatory filing on Thursday, setting the stage for the company to post another quarterly loss this year.

Exxon faces a loss for the quarter of US$2.3 billion. It would be the second this year after a US$610 million 1Q20 deficit. Results are due out 31 July.

The filing did not refer to asset writedowns. However, in a change from prior quarterly updates, Exxon noted the list may not include all charges. Shell outlined an up to US$22 billion charge and BP an up to US$17.5 billion writedown on the oil demand and price drops.

Exxon’s oil and gas operations will swing to a loss compared with 1Q20 because of sharply lower prices. That drop reduced the unit’s operating profit by between US$2.5 billion and US$3.1 billion, the company said in its investor snapshot of operations.

Refining results will fall by between US$800 million and US$1.1 billion compared with 1Q20 on weaker margins and logistics differentials, it said.

Exxon last quarter cut output by up to 400 000 bpd and capital spending by 30%, much of it in its shale business.
