據離岸工程網站4月28日消息 挪威Aker BP公司周三公布了創紀錄的第一季度營業利潤和收入，原因是油價和產量上漲，這家獨立的石油和天然氣生產商有望批準今年的幾項發展計劃。
息稅前利潤（EBIT）為5.91億美元，上年同期虧損2.66億美元，接近分析師在Refinitiv調查中預期的5.96億美元。
該公司首席執行官Karl Johnny Hersvik對記者表示：“這是一個強勁的季度，產量良好，油田開發步入正軌，現金流創下歷史新高。”
他說：“我們已經研究了一段時間的成本措施，現在開始起效了。”
產量增長7%，至22.22萬桶油當量/天，創下新高，每桶原油價格從44.20美元升至60.10美元。
Aker BP股價小幅下跌，截至格林尼治時間08:47，奧斯陸證交所下跌1.1%，落后于歐洲石油和天然氣股0.1%的跌幅。
Aker BP預計，將在第二季度和第三季度分別對其Kobra East Gekko和Frosk開發項目做出最終投資決定，目標是增加4000萬桶油當量的凈儲量。
Hersvik表示，公司還在進行其最大的潛在開發項目NOAKA地區的概念研究，并計劃在2021年第三季度就這一概念作出決定。
由于計劃內的維護活動，預計第二季度的產量將有所下降，公司將全年指導產量維持在21-22萬桶油當量/天。
花旗集團表示：“公司有可能在目前水平的基礎上，以不到每桶30美元的盈虧平衡價格將產量提高近一倍。”
Hersvik表示，雖然該公司主要計劃專注于有機增長，約有10個新項目正在籌備中，但也看到了一些將有機增長與收購相結合的機遇。

Aker BP Q1 Swings to Record Operating Profit
Norway's Aker BP posted record first-quarter operating profit and revenue on higher prices and production on Wednesday as the independent oil and gas producer looks to approve several developments this year.
Earnings before interests and tax (EBIT) of $591 million contrasted with a loss of $266 million a year earlier and was close to the $596 million expected by analysts in a Refinitiv poll.
"This is a strong quarter with good production and on-track oilfield developments, and the cash flow is record high," CEO Karl Johnny Hersvik told reporters.
"The cost measures we've been working on for a while are really starting to gain traction," he said.
Production rose 7% to 222,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), a new high, while the price per barrel of crude increased to $60.10 from $44.20.
Aker shares fell slightly, trading 1.1% lower on the Oslo Bourse at 0847 GMT and lagging a 0.1% fall in European oil and gas stocks.
Aker BP expects to make final investment decisions for its Kobra East Gekko and Frosk developments in the second and third quarters respectively, aiming to add net reserves of 40 million barrels of oil equivalent.
The company is also on track with concept studies for its biggest potential development, the NOAKA area, and a decision on the concept is planned for the third quarter of 2021, Hersvik said.
Production in the second quarter was expected to be lower due to planned maintenance activities, and the company kept its full year guidance unchanged at 210,000-220,000 boepd.
"The company has the potential to almost double production from current levels at a break-even price of less than $30 (per barrel)," said Citigroup, which rates the shares a "buy".
While it primarily plans to focus on organic growth, with around 10 new projects in its pipeline, Hersvik said he also saw some opportunities to combine this with acquisitions.
