埃尼下调产量和投资预期

据离岸工程4月24日报道，随着石油和天然气需求的持续走低，原油价格暴跌，意大利埃尼集团(Eni)上周五下调了产量和投资预期，预计2021年的支出将比原计划减少30%-35%。

该公司在第一季度业绩报告中表示，今年的支出将较计划减少30%左右，预计日产量为175万至180万桶。埃尼曾在3月份表示，将在2020年削减25%的资本支出。埃尼集团首席执行官克劳迪奥?德斯卡齐（Claudio Descalzi）表示：“月份以来的这段时间是全球经济70多年来最复杂的时期，我们预计2020年的情况会很复杂。”

石油和天然气需求的大幅下降，促使能源公司削减投资并保存现金。许多公司都在通过举债筹集额外的现金来抵御这场风暴。

此前，埃尼集团批准发行高达40亿欧元(约合43亿美元)的债券。并表示，根据基准布伦特原油每桶45美元计算，调整后的现金流为73亿欧元，并表示，目前该公司正坐拥160亿欧元的流动性资金缓冲。

一季度，埃尼集团调整后的净利润下降94%，至5900万欧元，低于该公司提供的约2.4亿欧元的分析师预期。

埃尼集团表示，今年将节省约6亿欧元的支出，并预计下半年石油和天然气需求将逐步复苏。
