据OE网站10月28日报道，法国能源集团道达尔能源(totalenergy)周四表示，该公司第三季度盈利大幅增长。因为其从电价飙升中获益，并预计欧洲和亚洲的天然气价格将在明年春季保持高位。
该公司第三季度调整后净利润从去年的8.48亿美元飙升至48亿美元，核心利润增长了一倍多，达到112亿美元。
该机构预计，供应不足和需求持续旺盛将使欧洲和亚洲的天然气价格保持高位，直至明年第二季度，除非出现异常温和的冬季。
正积极向电力和可再生能源领域扩张的该集团预计其天然气和原油产量将达到2020年第二季度以来的最高水平。
该公司表示，在第三季度达到281.4万桶油当量/天后，2021年最后三个月的日产量应在285万-290万桶之间。
道达尔还预测，最后一季度液化天然气（LNG）的销售均价将从前三个月的9.10美元进一步升至每百万英热单位12美元以上。
该公司证实，计划在今年最后三个月回购价值15亿美元的股票。该公司在9月底宣布了回购计划，由于电价居高不下。

TotalEnergies Says Gas Prices Should Stay High, Q3 Earnings Soar
TotalEnergies' earnings rose sharply in third quarter, the French energy group said align="justify"> The company's third-quarter adjusted net profit soared to $4.8 billion, from just $848 million last year, from core earnings that more than doubled to $11.2 billion.
It predicted low supplies and sustained high demand would keep gas prices high in Europe and Asia into the second quarter of next year, barring an exceptionally mild winter.
The group, which is aggressively expanding into electricity and renewable energy, estimated its production of gas and crude oil would reach their highest levels since the second quarter of 2020.
It said it should produce between 2.85 and 2.9 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (mboepd) in the last three months of 2021, after it reached 2.814 mboepd in the third quarter.
TotalEnergies also predicted its average sales price for liquefied natural gas (LNG) would further rise to over $12 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in the last quarter, from $9.10 in previous three months.
The company confirmed plans to buy back $1.5 billion worth of shares over the final three months of the year, which it had announced in late September on the back of the high power prices.
