据管道油气新闻网10月25日消息：澳大利亚的伍德赛德公司宣布了其2020年第三季度的业绩，该公司产量为2530万桶油当量，销售收入降到6.99亿美元。
首席执行官彼得·科尔曼表示：“正如预期的那样，第三季度的销售收入受到LNG价格下降的影响，反映了我们许多合同的油价滞后。鉴于最近几个月油价改善，预计第四季度和2021年一季度的定价将会更加强劲。特别是亚洲LNG现货价格的走强令人鼓舞，现在12月交割的价格高于6.50美元/百万英热。”
伍德赛德今年迄今为止的产量为7540万桶油当量，比2019年前三个季度增长了18％。
该公司表示，将继续采取适当措施应对疫情和大宗商品价格下跌的综合影响。并对公司未来的劳动力需求进行了组织审查，导致员工数量减少了约8％。
本季度的重点包括其冥王星LNG设施的强劲运营表现和高度可靠性。伍德赛德还完成了卡拉萨天然气厂3号生产线的计划维护，该设施已恢复全速运行。
科尔曼补充道：“伍德赛德正在增加其在塞内加尔海上Sangomar油田开发中的股份，并已与Capricorn塞内加尔有限公司就其全部参与权益签署了买卖协议。额外的权益预计将使2P储量增加约6800万桶油当量。 Sangomar油田新3D地震数据的处理已经完成，早期解释表明地震分辨率得到显着提高，这种改善的数据质量为第一阶段的开发提供了更多信心，并可能有助于未来开发阶段的风险降低。”

Woodside increases production in third quarter but sales slide
Australia's Woodside announced its Q3 2020 results that saw it deliver production of 25.3 MMboe and sales revenue fell to $699 million.
CEO Peter Coleman stated: ""As expected, sales revenue in the third quarter was impacted by lower realised LNG prices, reflecting the oil price lag in many of our contracts. Pricing in the fourth quarter and in Q1 2021 is expected to be stronger given the improvement in oil price in recent months. In particular, I am encouraged by the strengthening Asian LNG spot price, which is now above $6.50/MMBtu for December deliveries.”
Woodside's year-to-date production of 75.4 MMboe was an increase of 18 per cent compared with the first three quarters of 2019.
The firm said that it continued to implement appropriate responses to the combined impact of COVID-19 and lower commodity prices. It conducted an organisational review of the company’s future workforce requirements, resulting in an approximately 8 per cent reduction in the size of our direct employee workforce.
Highlights for the quarter included strong operating performance of its LNG facilities with high reliability at Pluto. Woodside also completed planned maintenance at Karratha Gas Plant’s Train 3, with the facility returning to full operating rates. And in terms of developments, Woodside increased our stake in the Sangomar Field Development offshore Senegal and project execution activities continued to plan. In Western Australia, we completed drilling activity for Pyxis Hub and Julimar-Brunello Phase 2.
Coleman added: "“Woodside is increasing its stake in the Sangomar Field Development offshore Senegal and has executed a sale and purchase agreement with Capricorn Senegal Limited for its entire participating interest. The additional interest is expected to increase 2P reserves by approximately 68 MMboe. Delivery of project execution activities continued to plan.Processing of new 3D seismic data of the Sangomar field is complete and early interpretation indicates significant seismic resolution improvement. This improved data quality provides additional confidence in the Phase 1 development and is likely to assist in derisking future development phases."
