中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社2023年5月4日报道，挪威能源巨头Equinor公布其第一季度获得的利润高于预期，由于天然气价格大幅下跌，Equinor第一季度获得的利润远低于去年创纪录的水平。

这家挪威石油和天然气生产商1月至3月调整后的息税前利润从去年同期的180亿美元降至120亿美元，超过了此前Equinor对26位分析师进行的调查预测的112亿美元。

Equinor首席执行官Anders Opedal在一份声明中表示：“Equinor在整个业务中实现了强劲的盈利和现金流，仍然是欧洲安全可靠的能源供应商。”

Equinor维持其生产和资本支出指引，并保持其股息不变。

由于欧洲天然气价格升至历史新高，这家挪威国有控股公司去年成为欧洲最大的天然气供应商。

Equinor今年1月至3月调整后的营业利润也低于去年第四季度的151亿美元。

Equinor表示，今年第一季度，其向欧洲销售的天然气平均价格同比下降37%，而原油价格下降24%。

Equinor去年全年调整后营业利润飙升至创纪录的749亿美元，比2008年的前一个高点增加了一倍多。

今年以来，Equinor的股价下跌了16.6%，逊于欧洲石油类股4.2%的跌幅。

Equinor said its average gas sales price to Europe had declined by 37% year-on-year in the first quarter while the price of oil was down by 24%.

Equinor"s full-year adjusted operating profit surged to a record $74.9 billion in 2022, more than doubling from the previous high in 2008.
