據(jù)路透5月6日報道，因新冠肺炎疫苗的推出和旅游限制的放寬推動油價反彈，美國油氣生產(chǎn)商馬拉松石油公司(Marathon oil Corp .)和APA公司(APA Corp .）公布的第一季度利潤超過華爾街預(yù)期。

　　2020年初，疫情沉重地打擊了燃料需求，此后，原油價格在今年上漲了至少三分之一。此外，馬拉松及其同行還受益于去年的成本和產(chǎn)量削減。

　　馬拉松石油表示，美國第一季度原油均價從2020年最后三個月的每桶39.71美元升至55.38美元?？偖a(chǎn)量從去年第四季度的35.2萬桶/天下降到34.5萬桶/天。

　　上周，該公司成為最新一家提高季度股息的石油生產(chǎn)商，將股息從每股3美分提高到4美分，同時還償還了5億美元的債務(wù)。

　　與此同時，APA表示，總平均油價升至每桶59.62美元，較前一季度上漲了近38%。該公司預(yù)計第二季度調(diào)整后的總產(chǎn)量將達到34萬桶/天。不過，該公司第一季度的產(chǎn)量從41.1萬桶/天下降到38.2萬桶/天。

　　APA警告稱，其國際產(chǎn)量受到影響，原因是與埃及實際油價上漲和北海維修停工期相關(guān)的產(chǎn)量分成合同延長。

　　馬拉松石油表示，第一季調(diào)整后收益為1.66億美元，合每股盈余 0.21美元，而第四季為虧損9800萬美元，合每股盈余 0.12美元。

　　根據(jù)Refinitiv IBES的數(shù)據(jù)，這超過了分析師平均預(yù)測的每股11美分的利潤。

　　APA公布調(diào)整后每股獲利91美分，高于預(yù)期的66美分。

　　另外，規(guī)模較小的競爭對手懷廷石油公司(Whiting Petroleum)和Callon石油公司均公布了較小的虧損。

　　Marathon Oil, APA profits beat as crude prices recover from pandemic lows

　　U.S. oil and gas producers Marathon Oil Corp (MRO.N) and APA Corp (APA.O) beat Wall Street estimates for first-quarter profits on Wednesday, as COVID-19 vaccine rollouts and easing travel restrictions powered a rebound in oil prices.

　　Crude prices are up at least a third this year, after the pandemic hammered fuel demand at the start of 2020. Marathon and peers have also benefited from cost and production cuts last year.

　　Marathon said first-quarter U.S. average realized price for crude rose to $55.38 per barrel from $39.71 per barrel in the last three months of 2020. Total production fell to 345,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) from 352,000 boepd in the fourth quarter.

　　The company last week became the latest oil producer to raise its quarterly dividend, increasing it to 4 cents per share from 3 cents per share while also redeeming $500 million in debt.

　　Meanwhile, APA said its total average oil price rose to $59.62 per barrel, a nearly 38% jump from the prior quarter. The company expects second-quarter total adjusted production to come at 340,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd).

　　Its first-quarter reported production fell to 382,000 boepd from 411,000 boepd, sequentially.

　　The company warned last month its international output was hit because of production sharing contracts associated with higher realized oil prices in Egypt and extended maintenance downtime in the North Sea.

　　Marathon said first-quarter adjusted income stood at $166 million, or 21 cents per share, compared with a loss of $98 million, or 12 cents per share, in the fourth.

　　This beat the average analyst estimate of 11 cents profit per share, according to Refinitiv IBES.

　　APA posted an adjusted profit of 91 cents per share, topping estimate of 66 cents.

　　Smaller rivals Whiting Petroleum (WLL.N) and Callon Petroleum (CPE.N) both posted smaller losses, sequentially.
