???? 據1月29日offshore energy消息：盡管受疫情影響，美國石油巨頭雪佛龍收入大幅下降，但與2019年同期相比，該公司2020年第四季度虧損有所減少。

????雪佛龍公司報告稱，2020年第四季度虧損6.65億美元，而上年同期虧損66億美元。

????本季度包括與來寶能源收購成本相關的1.2億美元費用。

????需要提醒的是，在來寶能源股東的批準下，雪佛龍于2020年10月初完成了先前宣布的對來寶能源的收購。

????雪佛龍指出，外匯影響使收益減少了5.34億美元。 2020年第四季度調整后虧損為1,100萬美元，而2019年第四季度調整后收益為28億美元。

????該石油公司還報告稱，2020年全年虧損55億美元，而2019年盈利29億美元。

????雪佛龍2020年第四季度的收入為252.5億美元，而去年同期為363.5億美元。

????該公司董事長兼首席執行官Mike Wirth表示:“當疫情和經濟危機襲來時，我們以強勁的資產負債表處于有利地位，并在這一年完成了一項重大收購，連續第33年增加派息"。

????對雪佛龍來說，2020年第四季度全球石油當量凈產量為328萬桶/天，比去年同期增長6%。這一增長主要是由于收購了來寶能源，部分抵消了減產。

????2020年全年，全球石油當量凈產量為308萬桶/天，比前一年增加1%。

????2020年第四季度，雪佛龍美國上游業務盈利1.01億美元，而去年同期虧損74.7億美元。

????這一增長主要是由于2019年第四季度沒有82億美元的減值，部分被較低的原油變現抵消。

????2020年的資本和探索支出為135億美元，而2019年為210億美元。

????Chevron books $665 million loss as revenues sink

????U.S. oil major Chevron managed to cut its losses in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 despite a significant decrease in revenues affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

????Chevron Corporation on Friday reported a loss of $665 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with a loss of $6.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019.

????Included in the current quarter was a charge of $120 million associated with Noble Energy acquisition costs.

????To remind, Chevron completed its previously announced acquisition of Noble Energy, following approval by Noble Energy shareholders, in early October 2020.

????Chevron noted that the foreign currency effects decreased earnings by $534 million. Adjusted loss of $11 million in fourth-quarter 2020 compares to adjusted earnings of $2.8 billion in fourth-quarter 2019.

????The oil company also reported a full-year 2020 loss of $5.5 billion compared with earnings of $2.9 billion in 2019.

????Chevron’s revenues in fourth-quarter 2020 were $25.25 billion, compared to $36.35 billion in the year-ago period.

????“2020 was a year like no other”, said Mike Wirth, Chevron’s chairman of the board and chief executive officer.

????“We were well-positioned when the pandemic and economic crisis hit, and we exited the year with a strong balance sheet, having completed a major acquisition and increased our dividend payout for the 33rd consecutive year”.

????For Chevron, worldwide net oil-equivalent production was 3.28 million barrels per day in fourth-quarter 2020, an increase of 6 per cent from a year ago.

????The increase was largely due to the Noble Energy acquisition, partially offset by production curtailments.

????Worldwide net oil-equivalent production for the full-year 2020 was 3.08 million barrels per day, an increase of 1 per cent from the prior year.

????Chevron’s U.S. upstream operations earned $101 million in fourth-quarter 2020, compared with a loss of $7.47 billion a year earlier.

????The increase was primarily due to the absence of fourth-quarter 2019 impairments of $8.2 billion, partially offset by lower crude oil realizations.

????Capital and exploratory expenditures in 2020 were $13.5 billion, compared with $21 billion in 2019.
