据离岸工程网站4月28日消息 挪威Aker BP公司周三公布了创纪录的第一季度营业利润和收入，原因是油价和产量上涨，这家独立的石油和天然气生产商有望批准今年的几项发展计划。

　　息税前利润（EBIT）为5.91亿美元，上年同期亏损2.66亿美元，接近分析师在Refinitiv调查中预期的5.96亿美元。

　　该公司首席执行官Karl Johnny Hersvik对记者表示：“这是一个强劲的季度，产量良好，油田开发步入正轨，现金流创下历史新高。”

　　他说：“我们已经研究了一段时间的成本措施，现在开始起效了。”

　　产量增长7%，至22.22万桶油当量/天，创下新高，每桶原油价格从44.20美元升至60.10美元。

　　Aker BP股价小幅下跌，截至格林尼治时间08:47，奥斯陆证交所下跌1.1%，落后于欧洲石油和天然气股0.1%的跌幅。

　　Aker BP预计，将在第二季度和第三季度分别对其Kobra East Gekko和Frosk开发项目做出最终投资决定，目标是增加4000万桶油当量的净储量。

　　Hersvik表示，公司还在进行其最大的潜在开发项目NOAKA地区的概念研究，并计划在2021年第三季度就这一概念作出决定。

　　由于计划内的维护活动，预计第二季度的产量将有所下降，公司将全年指导产量维持在21-22万桶油当量/天。

　　花旗集团表示：“公司有可能在目前水平的基础上，以不到每桶30美元的盈亏平衡价格将产量提高近一倍。”

　　Hersvik表示，虽然该公司主要计划专注于有机增长，约有10个新项目正在筹备中，但也看到了一些将有机增长与收购相结合的机遇。

　　Aker BP Q1 Swings to Record Operating Profit

　　Norway's Aker BP posted record first-quarter operating profit and revenue on higher prices and production on Wednesday as the independent oil and gas producer looks to approve several developments this year.

　　Earnings before interests and tax (EBIT) of $591 million contrasted with a loss of $266 million a year earlier and was close to the $596 million expected by analysts in a Refinitiv poll.

　　"This is a strong quarter with good production and on-track oilfield developments, and the cash flow is record high," CEO Karl Johnny Hersvik told reporters.

　　"The cost measures we've been working on for a while are really starting to gain traction," he said.

　　Production rose 7% to 222,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), a new high, while the price per barrel of crude increased to $60.10 from $44.20.

　　Aker shares fell slightly, trading 1.1% lower on the Oslo Bourse at 0847 GMT and lagging a 0.1% fall in European oil and gas stocks.

　　Aker BP expects to make final investment decisions for its Kobra East Gekko and Frosk developments in the second and third quarters respectively, aiming to add net reserves of 40 million barrels of oil equivalent.

　　The company is also on track with concept studies for its biggest potential development, the NOAKA area, and a decision on the concept is planned for the third quarter of 2021, Hersvik said.

　　Production in the second quarter was expected to be lower due to planned maintenance activities, and the company kept its full year guidance unchanged at 210,000-220,000 boepd.

　　"The company has the potential to almost double production from current levels at a break-even price of less than $30 (per barrel)," said Citigroup, which rates the shares a "buy".

　　While it primarily plans to focus on organic growth, with around 10 new projects in its pipeline, Hersvik said he also saw some opportunities to combine this with acquisitions.
