中国石化新闻网讯 据钻机地带4月21日报道，澳大利亚伍德赛德能源集团有限公司周五报告称，今年1月至3月的收入为43.3亿美元，较2022年同期增长81%，这归因于去年与必和必拓集团有限公司的石油业务合并。

然而，由于销售和价格下降，收入较上一季度减少了16%。

澳大利亚能源行业巨头伍德赛德，2023年第一季度生产了4680万桶油当量，较2022年第四季度下降9%，但同比增长122%。液化天然气产量为2428.3万桶油当量，石油和凝析油产量为1232.8万桶油当量，其中美国墨西哥湾Mad Dog油田的首次产量为93.9万桶油当量。

该公司在提交给澳大利亚证券交易所(Australian Securities Exchange)的一份文件中表示，产量下降是由于西澳大利亚近海Ngujima-Yin浮式生产储存和卸载设施的计划周转、维护活动以及澳大利亚东海岸对巴斯海峡天然气的国内需求下降。

然而该公司称，受合并后业务组合扩大的推动，产量较去年同期增长了一倍以上。

2022年6月，伍德赛德和总部位于墨尔本的必和必拓完成了石油和天然气业务组合的合并。伍德赛德收购了在截至2021年12月的半年里总产量为5300万桶油当量的必和必拓国际石油公司。根据美国证券交易委员会(伍德赛德在纽约证券交易所上市)的合并提案，截至2021年底，必和必拓石油公司拥有约3.099亿桶探明石油和凝析油储量，以及3.5522万亿立方英尺探明天然气储量。

2023年第一季度伍德赛德销售了5040万桶油当量，较上一季度下降4%，但同比增长112%。

其液化天然气(LNG)的实际售价为16.7美元/百万英热单位，低于上季度的20.3美元/百万英热单位。伍德赛德的石油和凝析油售价从2022年第四季度的每桶82美元降至76美元。

整个2023年，伍德赛德的预计产量将保持在1.8亿～1.9亿桶油当量。

该公司首席执行官梅格奥尼尔(Meg O "Neill)在财报中表示，“我们在澳大利亚和全球的所有重大增长项目上都取得了良好进展。（西澳大利亚州的）斯卡伯勒和Pluto2号生产线项目目前已完成30%，关键的海上和陆上基础设施建设正在加快。第一批混凝土现已在Pluto2号生产线现场浇筑”。并补充道，“（塞内加尔）Sangomar开发钻探项目已接近完成一半，23口井中有10口已完工。总长度为101公里的刚性出油管的安装和测试已成功安全完成。这是今年晚些时候实现首油目标的关键里程碑。在墨西哥湾的Trion项目中，我们收到了关键设备和活动的投标，包括浮式生产装置、长周期旋转设备、海底设备、钻机和安装范围，我们的目标是在今年完成最终投资决策”。

与此同时，伍德赛德在上个月美国墨西哥湾钻探权拍卖会上的12次中标尚待监管部门批准。根据美国海洋能源管理局3月29日公布的259号租赁销售结果，该公司共投入6255474美元。

伍德赛德还表示，已获得埃及监管部门批准，购买Herodotus盆地27%的股权。

该公司在2023年第一季度的资本支出为13.16亿美元。

Woodside"s First-Quarter Revenue Up 81 Percent Year on Year

Woodside Energy Group Ltd. reported Friday $4.33 billion in revenue for January to March, an 81 percent surge from the corresponding 2022 quarter that it attributed to its merger with the petroleum business of BHP Group Ltd. last year.

However, the revenue shrank 16 percent against the previous quarter as sales and prices fell.

Woodside, a major in Australia’s energy industry, produced 46.8 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) in the first quarter of 2023, down nine percent compared to the October-December 2022 quarter but up 122 percent year on year. LNG output stood at 24.283 MMboe, while petroleum and condensate totaled 12.328 MMboe with a maiden contribution of 939,000 boe from the Mad Dog oil field in the USA Gulf of Mexico.

The weaker production was due to a planned turnaround of the Ngujima-Yin floating production storage and offloading facility offshore Western Australia, maintenance activities and lower domestic demand from the Australian east coast for Bass Strait gas, the company said in a filing with the Australian Securities Exchange.

But it said, “Production was more than double the corresponding quarter last year, driven by the expanded operations portfolio post-merger”.

Woodside and Melbourne city-based BHP completed the merger of their oil and gas portfolio June 2022. The former acquired BHP Petroleum International Pty. Ltd., which had a total output of 53 MMboe in the half year to December 2021. BHP Petroleum held an estimated 309.9 million barrels of proved oil and condensate reserves and 3.5522 trillion cubic feet of proved gas reserves as of yearend 2021, according to a merger proposal on the Securities and Exchange Commission of the USA, where Woodside is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Woodside sold 50.4 MMboe in the first three months of 2023, down four percent from the preceding quarter but up 112 percent against last year’s opening quarter.

Its liquefied natural gas (LNG) sold at $16.7 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in realized price, down from $20.3 per MMBtu quarter on quarter. Woodside’s oil and condensate sold at $76 a barrel, from $82 in the last quarter of 2022.

For 2023 as a whole Woodside has maintained its projected production of 180-190 MMboe.

“We are making good progress on all major growth projects in Australia and globally”, chief executive Meg O’Neill said in the earnings report.

“The Scarborough and Pluto Train 2 projects [in Western Australia] are now 30% complete, with construction of key offshore and onshore infrastructure ramping up. First concrete has now been poured on the Pluto Train 2 site”.

“The Sangomar development drilling program [in Senegal] is nearing its half-way point, with ten of 23 wells completed”, she added. “Installation and testing of the rigid flowlines, which total 101km in length, were successfully and safely completed. This is a key milestone on the path to targeted first oil later this year.

“At the Trion project in the GoM [Gulf of Mexico], we have received tenders for key equipment and activities including the floating production unit, long-lead rotating equipment, subsea equipment, drilling rig and installation scopes as we target FID [final investment decision] readiness this year”.

Meanwhile regulatory approval is pending for Woodside’s 12 winning bids in the Gulf of Mexico auction for drilling rights by the USA last month. The company has placed $6,255,474 in total, according to the results of Lease Sale 259 published by the USA Ocean Energy Management Bureau on March 29.

Woodside also said it has received Egyptian regulatory approval for a buy of 27 percent interest in the Herodotus Basin.

The company spent $1.316 billion in capital expenditure for the 2023 first quarter.
