中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2023年1月31日报道，美国最大的上市石油公司埃克森美孚公司周二报告称，其2022年的收益为557亿美元，这是欧美石油巨头有史以来创纪录的收益记录。
埃克森美孚公司1月31日表示，通过“利用有利的投资组合和强劲的运营业绩”，该公司在2022年从经营活动中产生了557亿美元的收益和768亿美元的现金流。
石油和天然气价格高企是埃克森美孚公司去年利润增加的主要原因，该公司打破了2008年以来452亿美元的年度盈利纪录，当时油价达到创纪录的每桶142美元，金额达到欧美主要石油巨头有史以来最高的年度利润。
埃克森美孚公司董事长兼首席执行官达伦·伍兹示：“虽然我们的业绩明显受益于有利的市场，但在经济开始复苏、供应紧张之际，我们在疫情前和疫情期间进行的反周期投资为人们提供了所需的能源和产品。”
在全年财务报告中，埃克森美孚公司指出，2022年现金增加了229亿美元，自由现金流为621亿美元。股东分配总额为298亿美元，其中149亿美元为股息，149亿美元为股票回购。埃克森美孚公司还增加并延长了其股票回购计划，在2023年—2024年累计将回购高达350亿美元的股票。
在埃克森美孚公司创纪录的盈利之前，雪佛龙公司周五发布了盈利报告，该公司报告了有史以来最高的年度利润，在石油和天然气价格上涨以及美国产量创纪录的背景下，去年调整后的利润比2021年翻了一倍多，达到了365亿美元。
分析人士预计，由于去年石油和天然气价格的上涨，埃克森美孚公司、雪佛龙公司、英国石油公司、壳牌公司和道达尔能源公司去年的年度总收入将达到2000亿美元左右。
壳牌公司将于2月2日发布收益报告，英国石油公司和道达尔能源公司将分别于2月7日和2月8日发布他们去年第四季度和全年收益报告。

Exxon Posts Highest Profits In Western Oil Company History
ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) reported>Exxon said today it generated earnings of $55.7 billion and $76.8 billion of cash flow from operating activities in 2022 “by leveraging an advantaged portfolio and delivering strong operational performance.”
High oil and gas prices were the key reasons for higher profits at Exxon, which beat its own annual earnings record of $45.2 billion from 2008 – when oil prices hit a record $142 per barrel – and posted the highest-ever annual profit by a major Western oil firm.
“While our results clearly benefited from a favorable market, the counter-cyclical investments we made before and during the pandemic provided the energy and products people needed as economies began recovering and supplies became tight,” said Darren Woods, Exxon’s chairman and chief executive officer.
In the full-year financial highlights, Exxon noted that cash increased by $22.9 billion in 2022 with free cash flow of $62.1 billion.
Shareholder distributions totaled $29.8 billion, including $14.9 billion in dividends and $14.9 billion of share repurchases. Exxon also increased and extended its share buyback program with up to $35 billion of cumulative share repurchases in 2023-2024.
Exxon’s record earnings follow Friday’s earnings release by Chevron (NYSE: CVX), which reported its highest annual profit ever as its adjusted earnings for last year more than doubled from 2021 to hit $36.5 billion>Analysts expect ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, Shell, and TotalEnergies to report around $200 billion in combined yearly earnings thanks to the jump in oil and gas prices last year.
Shell reports earnings on February 2, and BP and TotalEnergies are due to release Q4 and full-year earnings on February 7 and February 8, respectively.
