据国外媒体12月12日伦敦报道,英国最大的能源供应商英国天然气公司(BG)的母公司森特里卡公司(Centrica)日前在伦敦表示,主要由于上游投资的削减,该公司预计今年的支出少于此前计划的10.5亿英镑(16亿美元)。
由于英国最大能源公用事业公司一直受到能源价格下跌和需求放缓的严重打击,森特里卡公司在今年年初被迫削减了股息。
森特里卡公司说,该公司今年调整以后的运营现金流将超过20亿英镑,比去年减少了7亿英镑。
作为森特里卡最昂贵的投资,由于用于勘探和生产的支出目标将不到8亿英镑,该公司预计其今年有机资本支出将略低于其目标。
森特里卡公司补充说,该公司明年有机资本支出目标将低于6亿英镑。

Centrica Says to Spend Less than Planned after Upstream Cost Cuts

LONDON– Centrica, Britain's largest energy utility, expects to spend less than the 1.05 billion pounds ($1.6 billion) it had previously envisaged, mainly due to a cut in upstream investments, the company said on Thursday.
Centrica, which owns Britain's main household energy supplier British Gas, was forced to cut its dividend earlier this year as it has been hit hard by a fall in energy prices and slowing demand.
This year's adjusted operating cashflow is set to exceed 2 billion pounds, Centrica said, compared with 2.7 billion pounds in 2014.
Centrica expected its 2015 organic capital expenditure to come in slightly below its target as its spending on exploration and production, its most expensive investments, was on target to be less than 800 million pounds.
This would fall below 600 million in 2016, Centrica added.
