据美国彭博新闻社10月28日奥斯陆报道,挪威最大的石油公司挪威国家石油公司(挪油)28日在奥斯陆公布的最新统计数据显示,由于第三季度平均原油价格跌到了2009年以来的最低水平,挪油第三季度的净收益同比大幅下降了60%。
总部设在斯塔万格的挪油在一份声明中表示,挪油第三季度调整以后的净收益(不包括财务及其他项目)从去年同期的91亿挪威克朗减少到了37亿挪威克朗(4.36亿美元),这个数字远远低于彭博新闻社日前对分析人士调查所得出的51亿挪威克朗的估计数。
挪油首席执行官埃尔达尔·塞特勒在一份声明中说:“在第三季度,我们的财务业绩继续受到低液体价格的影响。”
挪威政府拥有67%股份的挪油正与包括壳牌公司和英国石油公司在内的其他竞争者一起削减投资和成本。在油价从去年6月每桶大约115美元高位跌至今年8月份每桶42美元以后,世界最大石油公司们正在寻求保护股东们的分红。

Statoil quarterly profit falls 60% after crude collapse
10/28/2015
OSLO, Norway (Bloomberg) -- Statoil ASA, Norway’s biggest oil company, said third-quarter earnings fell 60% as the average crude price in the period dropped to the lowest since 2009.
Adjusted net income, which excludes financial and other items, fell to 3.7 billion kroner ($436 million) from 9.1 billion kroner a year earlier, the Stavanger-based company said in a statement. That missed a 5.1 billion-krone estimate in a Bloomberg poll of analysts.
Eldar Saetre, Statoil’s CEO, said in a statement. “In the third quarter, our financial results continued to be affected by low liquids prices.”
Statoil, 67% owned by the Norwegian government, is cutting investments and costs alongside competitors such as Royal Dutch Shell Plc and BP Plc. The world’s biggest oil companies are seeking to shield shareholder payouts after oil prices fell as low as $42/bbl in August from highs of about $115 in June, 2014.
