戴文能源公司第三季度获得好于预期的季度利润

中国石化新闻网讯 据国外媒体11月2日休斯敦报道，北美著名陆上油气作业公司美国戴文能源公司（Devon Energy Corp）周二公布的统计数据显示，由于成本节约减轻了疲软油价的影响，该公司第三季度获得了好于预期的季度利润。

为了抵消油价自2014年年中以来迄今下跌了超过55%的影响，戴文能源公司削减了其租赁营业费用，包括劳动力和供应费用。

预计今年成本节约将达到10亿美元的戴文能源公司说，其第三季度总营业费用下降了69.4%。总产量下降了15.1%至57.7万桶油当量/天。

戴文能源公司说，该公司预计在今年年底前把其在美国在用的钻机数从5部提高到多达10部。

Devon Energy's Q3 Profit Beats Estimates

WENews.com/November 2, 2016/Houston

U.S. oil producer Devon Energy Corp reported a better-than-expected quarterly profit as cost savings cushioned the impact of weak oil prices.

Devon has cut its lease operating expenses, including labor and supply costs, to offset a more than 55 percent side in oil prices since mid-2014.

The company, which expects cost savings to reach $1 billion this year, said total operating expenses fell 69.4 percent in the third quarter ended Sept. 30.

Total production fell 15.1 percent to 577,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).

Devon said it expects to increase its rig activity in the United States from five rigs running in the third quarter to as many as 10 by the end of this year.
