據(jù)離岸工程網(wǎng)站4月28日消息 美國石油生產(chǎn)商赫斯公司周三宣布，盡管產(chǎn)量下降，但第一季度仍實現(xiàn)盈利，因為冬季風(fēng)暴提振了對天然氣的需求，COVID-19疫苗的穩(wěn)步推廣有助于油價復(fù)蘇。

　　今年前三個月，全球原油價格平均在61美元左右，建立在2020年底開始復(fù)蘇的基礎(chǔ)上。周三價格在67美元左右。

　　這家石油生產(chǎn)商表示，第一季度，不包括對沖在內(nèi)的原油平均實際售價從第四季度的39.45美元飆升至52.52美元/桶。

　　今年第一季度，該公司還銷售了420萬桶巴肯原油，這些原油是去年石油低迷時期儲存在兩艘大型原油運輸船上，這使得該季度的收入增加了約7000萬美元。

　　赫斯是本季度第一家公布企業(yè)盈利的主要油氣生產(chǎn)商，在截至3月31日的報告季度，該公司公布調(diào)整后利潤為2.52億美元，每股收益為82美分，而第四季度虧損1.76億美元，每股收益為58美分。

　　該公司還將全年產(chǎn)量預(yù)測下調(diào)至29-29.5萬桶油當(dāng)量/天，而此前的預(yù)測約為31萬桶油當(dāng)量/天，原因是部分合同、資產(chǎn)銷售和北達科他州寒冷天氣條件的影響導(dǎo)致產(chǎn)量下降。

　　Hess Corp Swings to Quarterly Profit

　　U.S. oil producer Hess Corp on Wednesday swung to a profit in the first quarter despite lower production, as a winter storm boosted demand for natural gas, while steady COVID-19 vaccine rollouts aided a recovery in oil prices.

　　Global crude prices have averaged around $61 in the first three months of the year, building on a recovery it began late in 2020. Prices were trading around $67 on Wednesday.

　　The oil producer said its average realized crude oil selling price, excluding hedges, surged to $52.52 per barrel in the first quarter from $39.45 in the fourth.

　　In the first quarter, the company also sold 4.2 million barrels of Bakken crude oil that it had stored on two 'very large crude carriers' during last year's oil downturn that boosted its income by about $70 million in the quarter.

　　Hess, the first major oil and gas producer to report corporate earnings this season, posted an adjusted profit of $252 million, or 82 cents per share, in the reported quarter ended March 31, from a loss of $176 million, or 58 cents, in the fourth quarter.

　　The company also cut its full-year production forecast,to between 290,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) and 295,000 boepd, from a prior estimate of about 310,000 boepd, attributing the decline to lower volumes received on some contracts, asset sales and the impact of frigid weather conditions in North Dakota.
