-- 西方石油公司(OXY)週二下調了2026年全年產量預期,理由是伊朗戰爭對其國際業務造成了重大影響。 該公司目前預計總產量將在每日141萬至146萬桶油當量之間,略低於先前142萬至148萬桶油當量/日的預期。 由於地區衝突持續阻礙關鍵能源基礎設施的建設,國際產量預期被下調至每日21.8萬至22.8萬桶油當量。 此次產量預期下調是由於其持有40%股份的阿聯酋沙赫氣田長期停產所致。 該設施是全球最大的酸性天然氣田之一,自3月16日伊朗無人機襲擊以來一直處於停產狀態。 儘管面臨這些地緣政治不利因素,西方石油公司報告稱,其第一季總產量為142.6萬桶油當量/日,實際上超過了季度預期上限,這主要得益於二疊紀盆地、落基山脈和墨西哥灣的強勁表現。 第一季的財務表現反映了能源市場的波動。西方石油公司的油氣稅前收入增加至10億美元,高於2025年第四季的7億美元。 該公司表示,這一成長主要得益於全球原油平均實現價格季度環比上漲18%。 然而,這些成長被國內天然氣價格下跌部分抵消,國內天然氣價格下跌10%至每千立方英尺1.01美元。 展望未來,該公司能否實現修訂後的目標仍取決於其在中東地區的資產穩定性。 儘管美國頁岩油產量仍是其核心優勢,但沙赫油田的持續關閉以及更廣泛的區域供應損失迫使該公司對2026年剩餘時間採取更保守的展望。
