???? 據石油新聞倫敦報道,礦業和大宗商品貿易巨頭嘉能可2月3日表示,由于受COVID-19大流行的影響,嘉能可暫停了在乍得的油氣生產,該公司去年第4季度石油產量同比大幅下降了一半以上。
????嘉能可表示,去年第四季度的權益產量總計58.4萬桶或6418桶/天,比前年同期減少69%,且低于去年第三季度的74.8萬桶。
????由于與COVID-19大流行有關的流動性、運輸和供應鏈的中斷,嘉能可去年4月份把其位于乍得的Mangara和Badila油田列入“護理和維護”項目。據估計,這些油田此前的石油日產量約為1萬至1.4萬桶。
????嘉能可表示,這兩個油田時下仍處于停產狀態,原因是“國際流動性中持續存在與疫情大流行相關的挑戰”。
????去年,在嘉能可在赤道幾內亞和喀麥隆鉆取的新油井部分抵消了乍得油田停產的影響以后,該公司的石油產量平均為10776桶/天,同比下降29%。
????嘉能可受益于2019年第三季度喀麥隆Bolongo油田的啟動,該油田一直在擴大產量,并在第四季度提供了23.9萬桶石油。

????Glencore's oil output slumps 69% in Q4 due to pandemic impact in Chad
????Glencore saw its oil production more than halve from year-ago levels during the fourth quarter of 2020, reflecting the suspension of its Chad operations due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the mining and commodity trader giant said Feb. 3.
????Entitlement production totaled 584,000 barrels in Q4, or 6,418 b/d, 69% below the year-ago period and down from 748,000 barrels in Q3, Glencore said.
????Glencore placed its Mangara and Badila fields in Chad under "care and maintenance" in April due to COVID-19 related disruptions to mobility, transportation and supply chains. The fields had previously been producing around 10,000-14,000 b/d, it estimates.
????The fields remain offline, Glencore said, citing "continued pandemic-related challenges in international mobility."
????During 2020 overall, Glencore's oil production averaged 10,776 b/d, 29% lower on the year, after new wells drilled in Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon partly offset the suspension of its Chad operations.
????The company benefited from the startup of the Bolongo field in Cameroon in Q3 2019, which has been ramping up and provided 239,000 barrels in the fourth quarter.
