石油设备网讯 据世界能源网2019年5月5日奥斯陆报道，挪威油气巨头Equinor周五公布第一季度营业利润小幅下滑，但优于预期，并称其位于北海的约翰斯维尔德鲁普（Johan Sverdrup）大油田仍有望在今年11月份投产。
扣除一次性项目的息税前利润(EBIT)从去年同期的44亿美元降至今年第一季度的42亿美元，但高于路透社调查分析师预测的39亿美元。
与竞争对手相比，由于Equinor炼油业务规模较小，因此，其业绩略好于炼油利润大幅下降的BP、埃克森美孚公司和雪佛龙公司。
Equinor的国内和国际油气生产部门均好于预期，而其炼油、营销和可再生能源部门在很大程度上符合分析师的预期。
加拿大皇家银行资本市场的Biraj Borkhataria表示，Equinor对欧洲的管道天然气销售也积极惊喜，因为许多人预计天然气现货价格走软将会导致其天然气销售量下降。
Equinor第一季度平均油气日产量为218万桶，略高于调查预测的216万桶。Equinor大约40%的产量来自国际业务，包括美国、安哥拉和巴西。Equinor最近把巴西列为其未来核心增长地区。

Equinor Q1 Beats Forecast
Norwegian oil and gas firm Equinor reported on Friday a small fall in quarterly operating profit, beating forecasts, and said its giant Johan Sverdrup oilfield in the North Sea remains on track to start production in November.
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT), adjusted for one-off items, fell to $4.2 billion in the first quarter from $4.4 billion during the same period of 2018, higher than a forecast of $3.9 billion in a Reuters poll of analysts.
The company, which has a smaller refining business than rivals, fared slightly better than BP, Exxon Mobil , and Chevron which saw sharp declines in profits partly due to lower refining margins.
Equinor's domestic and international oil and gas production units both beat forecasts, while its refining, marketing and renewable energy unit was largely in line with analysts' expectations.
Equinor's pipeline gas sales to Europe were also a positive surprise, given that many expected them to be lower due to weaker spot prices, RBC Capital Markets' Biraj Borkhataria said.
Its quarterly oil and gas production was 2.18 million barrels of oil equivalents per day (boepd), slightly ahead of a 2.16 million forecast in the poll.
about 40 percent of its production came from international operations, including in the United States, Angola and in Brazil which Equinor recently designated as a core growth area.
