據油氣新聞網1月11日報道,挪威能源巨頭Equinor周二表示,該公司2021年最后一個季度計入14億至15億美元的天然氣衍生品虧損,這與此前的聲明相符,即第三季度的部分利潤將扭轉。
去年10月27日,這家挪威最大的公司報告稱,受全球能源供應緊張的推動,其7月-9月收益大幅增長。全球能源供應緊張推動歐洲天然氣價格創下歷史新高,并推動衍生品合約價值飆升。
但該公司同時提醒稱,這種按市值計價的天然氣合同會計核算方法,將導致10月-12月當季出現虧損,因為這一季度的天然氣產量是根據長期合同交付的,而這些合同是以較低價格簽訂的。
Equinor 的天然氣銷售主要基于現貨,但其長期管道天然氣合同的一部分基于長期的指數。
該公司周二在一份聲明中重申,采取衍生品頭寸的決定對Equinor有利。
去年12月21日,荷蘭TTF日前天然氣合同飆升至186.25歐元/兆瓦時的歷史新高,與2021年初約20歐元/兆瓦時的價格相比,上漲了近10倍。
此后,價格回落至85歐元/兆瓦時左右。

Equinor outlines $1.5bn in Q4 gas derivatives losses
Equinor will book a loss from gas derivatives of between $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion for the final quarter of 2021, in line with previous statements that some third-quarter profits would be reversed, the energy company said on Tuesday.
Norway's largest company on Oct. 27 reported a surge in July-September earnings, driven by a global energy supply crunch that pushed Europe's natural gas prices to record highs and sent the value of derivative contracts soaring.
But the company had simultaneously warned that this mark-to-market accounting of gas contracts would be followed by losses in the October-December quarter when volumes were delivered under long-term contracts that were concluded at lower prices.
Equinor's gas sales are mostly spot based, but a share of its long term piped gas contracts are based on longer-dated indices.
"The decision to take derivative positions has been beneficial for Equinor as a group," the company reiterated in a statement on Tuesday.
The Dutch TTF day-ahead gas contract soared to a record high of 186.25 euros per megawatt hour (MWh) on Dec. 21, an almost ten-fold increase compared with prices of around 20 euros/MWh at the start of 2021.
Prices have since fallen back to around 85 euros/MWh.
