石油设备网讯 据路透社伦敦5月16日报道，周四，英国独立油气公司(Premier Oil)提升了2019年的产量指导。该公司称，由于效率措施以及滞销且目前被剥离的巴基斯坦油田推动了产量。
该公司表示，目前预计今年的石油产量将达到每天75000桶石油当量到80000桶石油当量，而之前的产量是每天75000桶石油当量。
在过去的一年里，该公司的产出一直受到其核心业务英国北海Catcher油田的提振，预计将在本季度晚些时候在该油田批准一个扩张项目。
该公司市值约7.5亿英镑（合9.63亿美元），4月底净债为22.5亿美元，该公司认为，以目前的石油价格计算，到今年年底，净债将会减至2.5亿至3.5亿美元之间。
RBC分析师Al Stanton说：“随着布伦特原油期货价格超过每桶70美元，我们预计Premier石油公司的利润将持续。”
市场关注的焦点仍然是Premier石油公司在墨西哥Zama的发现，预计那里的总产量最终将达到每天175000桶石油当量，第三口油井的评估结果将于六月公布。
今年三月，Premier石油公司提出了一项计划，将在五月初为其在福克兰群岛的Sea Lion项目提交一份8亿至9亿美元的正式申请。该公司周四表示，为该项目融资所需的文件准备工作进展顺利。
为防范油价突然下跌，Premier石油公司已为2019年下半年将约400万桶石油对冲在每桶69美元左右，并为明年将约160万桶石油对冲在每桶66美元左右。

Premier Oil raises output guidance for 2019
Britain’s Premier Oil increased its 2019 production guidance on Thursday, saying output had been boosted by efficiency measures and a late sale from its now-divested Pakistan oil fields.
The company said it now expects output to reach 75,000 to 80,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) this year, from up to 75,000 boed previously.
Premier’s output has been buoyed in the past year by its flagship Catcher field in the British North Sea, where it expects to approve an expansion project later this quarter.
The firm, which has a market capitalisation of around 750 million pounds ($963 million), sat on net debt of $2.25 billion at the end of April.
It sees that shrinking by the upper end of a $250 million to $350 million range by the end of the year at current oil prices.
“With Brent (crude oil futures) trading above $70 a barrel, we anticipate sustained interest in Premier,” RBC analyst Al Stanton said.
The market remains focused on Premier’s Zama discovery in Mexico, where it expects gross output to eventually reach as much as 175,000 boed. Results for a third appraisal well there are due in June.
In March Premier flagged a plan to submit a formal application for $800-$900 million in senior debt for its Sea Lion projects off the Falkland Islands in early May.
On Thursday it said the preparation of documents needed to secure funding for the project was “well advanced”.
Premier has hedged around 4 million barrels of oil at about $69 a barrel for the second half of 2019 to guard against sudden oil price drops, and around 1.6 million barrels at $66 a barrel for next year.
