据能源世界网8月21日莫斯科报道,俄罗斯国有天然气公司俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(Gazprom )的石油业务俄气石油公司(Gazprom Neft)周四表示,疲软的油价导致第二季度净利润下滑近80%,至220亿卢布(合2.97亿美元)。
该公司表示,随着利润的提高,其仍计划在今年晚些时候支付中期股息。
俄罗斯第三大石油生产商今年第一季度出现净亏损,与许多同行一样,遭受原油价格下跌的境遇。
该公司首席执行官亚历山大迪乌科夫(alexanderdyukov)周四在一份声明中表示,石油出口国组织与其盟国之间达成的减产协议帮助推高了油价,帮助消除了该集团第一季度的亏损。
得益于俄罗斯能源部长亚历山大·诺瓦克(Alexander Novak)本周称之为"成功"的这个协议,布伦特原油价格已从4月份每桶16美元以下的逾20年来低点攀升至近每桶45美元。
此前的亏损意味着俄气石油今年上半年的收入为80亿卢布。该公司一位官员在周四电话会议上表示,其计划按9个月的业绩派息,以提高派息率。
这位官员还称,该公司计划将其今年资本支出削减约20%。 根据去年发布的计划,未来两到三年的年度资本支出约为3800亿卢布。
俄气石油周四表示,其第二季度收入同比下降了37%,至3,983亿卢布,而自由现金流已由去年同期的342亿卢布变为负769亿卢布。

Gazprom Neft profit slumps 80 per cent in Q2, pledges dividend later this year
Russia's Gazprom Neft, the oil business of state gas company Gazprom, said on Thursday weak oil prices had driven a near 80 per cent slump in second-quarter net profit to 22 billion roubles ($297 million).
The group said it still planned to pay an interim dividend later this year as profits improve.
Russia's third biggest oil producer swung into a net loss in the first quarter of this year, suffering like many of its peers from a drop in crude prices.
Its chief executive Alexander Dyukov said in a statement on Thursday that a deal to cut output between the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies had since helped boost prices, helping erase the group's first-quarter losses.
Brent crude prices have climbed to nearly $45 per barrel from their more than 20-year-lows below $16 per barrel seen in April, thanks to the deal which Russia's Energy Minister Alexander Novak called a "success" this week.
The earlier loss meant Gazprom Neft earned a modest 8 billion roubles for the first six months of this year. It plans to pay dividends on nine-month results to make the payment stronger, a company official told a conference call on Thursday.
The same official said the company plans to cut its capital expenditure by around 20 per cent this year. Annual capex had been seen at around 380 billion roubles for the next two to three years, according to plans released last year.
Gazprom Neft said on Thursday its revenue had fallen 37 per cent year-on-year in the second quarter to 398.3 billion roubles, while free cash flow had turned negative at 76.9 billion roubles versus 34.2 billion roubles a year ago.
