據美國鉆井網站2022年8月5日報道，美國超級石油巨頭康菲石油（ConocoPhillips）報告稱，其今年第二季度收益有所增長，第二季度利潤為51億美元，而去年第二季度的利潤為21億美元，同比增加30億美元。  

不包括特殊項目，康菲石油今年第二季度調整后的盈利為51億美元，而去年第二季度調整后的盈利為17億美元。第二季度的特別項目包括資產銷售的收益，包括與先前處置相關的或有付款，部分由債務減免和挪威稅收改革相關調整的損失抵消。

康菲石油宣布將今年計劃的資本回報增加50億美元，至150億美元。康菲石油宣布在今年9月1日支付每股46美分的第三季度普通股息，以及每股1.40美元的第四季度現金支付可變回報。康菲石油第二季度經營活動產生的現金為78億美元。 

康菲石油董事長兼首席執行官瑞安·蘭斯表示：“第二季度財報表現強勁，為加快我們的三重使命提供了絕佳機會，即可靠、負責地交付油氣生產，以滿足能源轉型路徑的需求，為我們的股東提供有競爭力的資本回報，并實現我們的凈零運營排放目標。”

蘭斯說：“我們將向股東額外增加50億美元的今年目標回報，同時采取措施滿足過渡需求，最近宣布擴大我們的全球液化天然氣投資組合。我們還通過承諾采取一項重要舉措，以可核查的方式衡量和報告甲烷排放，從而推進了我們的ESG優先事項，并發布了去年可持續發展和人力資本管理報告，以分享我們如何實現這些優先事項。”

通過參與卡塔爾能源公司的北方油田東液化天然氣項目，這家美國超大型石油公司擴大了其全球液化天然氣投資組合，并宣布與桑普拉基礎設施公司簽署了一份不具約束力的主管協議，有機會參與大型液化天然氣項目，每年約500萬噸的液化天然氣供應和相關的碳捕獲活動。 

康菲石油第二季度的產量為17億桶油當量/天，同時成功完成了計劃中的維護周轉。康菲石油還通過本季度18億美元的債務償還，繼續朝著50億美元的債務削減目標前進，自宣布該目標以來，目前已償還債務30億美元。

ConocoPhillips Profit Jumps To Over $5 Billion

U.S. supermajor ConocoPhillips has reported a rise in second-quarter 2022 earnings. The company earned $5.1 billion compared with second-quarter 2021 earnings of $2.1 billion.

Excluding special items, second-quarter 2022 adjusted earnings were $5.1 billion compared with second-quarter 2021 adjusted earnings of $1.7 billion. Special items for the current quarter were comprised of gains on asset sales including contingent payments related to prior dispositions, partially offset by a loss on debt extinguishment and a Norway tax reform-related adjustment.

ConocoPhillips announced a $5 billion increase in planned 2022 return of capital to $15 billion. The company declared both a third-quarter ordinary dividend of 46 cents per share, payable September 1, 2022, and a fourth-quarter variable return of cash payment of $1.40 per share. Generated cash provided by operating activities was $7.9 billion and cash from operations was $7.8 billion.

“The second quarter delivered strong financial results and presented outstanding opportunities to accelerate progress on our Triple Mandate to reliably and responsibly deliver oil and gas production to meet energy transition pathway demand, deliver competitive returns on and of capital for our shareholders, and achieve our net-zero operational emissions ambition,” said Ryan Lance, chairman and chief executive officer. 

“We’re increasing our targeted 2022 return to shareholders by an additional $5 billion while taking steps to meet transition demand with recent announcements to expand our global LNG portfolio. We also progressed our ESG priorities by committing to an important initiative to verifiably measure and report methane emissions and published both our 2021 Sustainability and Human Capital Management reports to share how we’re meeting those priorities,” Lance added.

ConocoPhillips delivered second-quarter production of 1.7 billion boepd while successfully completing planned maintenance turnarounds. The company also continued progress toward its $5 billion debt reduction target through $1.8 billion of debt retirements during the quarter, now totaling $3 billion since announcing the target.
