據天然氣新聞2021年4月27日倫敦報道，英國石油公司(BP) 4月27日預測，由于資產出售對其投資組合的影響，其今年上游油氣產量將進一步下降。BP報告稱，其第一季度上游油氣產量已同比下降了14%。

　　BP在一份營業業績的聲明中說，由于資產出售以及在北海、墨西哥灣、特立尼達和多巴哥等地停產維護的共同作用，其第二季度常規業務和新創建的“天然氣和低碳”部門的產量將低于第一季度。

　　BP去年的油氣產量下降了10%，主要是由于美國頁巖業務和阿拉斯加州的資產出售。

　　BP表示，由于資產出售、投資減少和資產下降，其第一季度上游油氣日產量為222萬桶油當量，這還不包括BP在俄羅斯石油公司中持有的近20%股份。

　　BP說，“由于受到正在進行的撤資計劃的影響，我們預計BP今年全年上游油氣產量將低于去年。然而，隨著主要在天然氣地區的大型項目的增加，潛在的油氣產量將略高于去年，部分抵消了資本投資減少和低利潤率天然氣資產下降的影響?！?/p>

　　為應對全球油價暴跌和全球新冠肺炎疫情大流行，BP從去年第二季度開始大幅削減了21%的資本支出。自那以后，BP表示，由于轉向低碳能源生產，預計到2030年前，其油氣產量預計將下降40%。

　　BP forecasts further drop in oil, gas output this year as asset sales bite

　　BP on April 27 forecast a further drop in its upstream production this year due to the impact of asset sales on its portfolio, as it reported a 14% year-on-year fall in upstream oil and gas output for the first quarter.

　　In a results statement, the UK major said second-quarter production would be even lower than first-quarter production in both its conventional operations and newly created 'gas and low carbon' unit due to a combination of asset sales and maintenance, the latter in the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico as well as Trinidad and Tobago.

　　The downbeat production outlook follows a 10% drop in the company's 2020 output, mainly attributed to asset sales in its US shale business and Alaska. Upstream production in the first quarter hit 2.22 million b/d of oil equivalent, excluding the company's near-20% stake in Rosneft, due to the asset sales, reduced investment and asset decline, BP said.

　　"For full-year 2021 we expect reported upstream production to be lower than 2020 due to the impact of the ongoing divestment program. However, underlying production should be slightly higher than 2020 with the ramp-up of major projects, primarily in gas regions, partly offset by the impacts of reduced capital investment and decline in lower-margin gas assets," BP said, noting its startup of two gas projects in recent days, in Egypt and India.

　　BP responded to the global price crash and pandemic by slashing its capital expenditure by 21% last year, starting in the second quarter, and has since said it expects to see its oil and gas output fall by 40% by 2030 as it shifts toward lower-carbon energy production.
