石油设备网讯 据彭博社休斯顿报道，雪佛龙公司公布了二叠纪盆地强劲的产量增长，加上炼油业务稳定，其第二季度收益超过预期。
该公司第二季度利润为每股2.27美元，超过了彭博社调查中分析师每股1.76美元的平均预期。其中包括该公司因终止收购阿纳达科石油公司而收取的7.4亿美元“分手费”。
雪佛龙是今年五大石油生产商中表现最好的一家，此前，该公司放弃了与西方石油公司的竞购战，最终，西方石油公司以380亿美元收购了阿纳达科石油公司。
雪佛龙拒绝提高对阿纳达科的竞购，接受了“分手费”，并将其股票回购25%，取悦了一个日益要求大石油公司现金回报的投资者群体。
雪佛龙的大部分产量增长来自于二叠纪盆地，目前正计划在哈萨克斯坦的腾吉兹进行大规模扩张，但分析师质疑该公司是否拥有足够大的投资组合，以维持2023年以后的增长。
雪佛龙的二叠纪盆地产量较一年前同期增长50%，总产量达到每日308万桶，比一年前同期增长9%，创历史新高。

Chevron earnings jump on Permian output, Anadarko breakup fee
Chevron posted strong production growth from the Permian Basin combined with a stabilization in its refining operations to beat earnings estimates in the second quarter.
Profit was $2.27 per share, surpassing the $1.76 average estimate of analysts in a Bloomberg survey. That includes $740 million from the termination fee the company received in connection with its aborted takeover of Anadarko Petroleum Corp.
Chevron is the top performer among the five supermajor oil producers this year after walking away from a bidding war for Anadarko Petroleum Corp., which Occidental Petroleum Corp. agreed to buy for $38 billion.
Refusing to escalate the bidding war for Anadarko, Chevron took a breakup fee and hiked its share buyback 25%, pleasing an investor base increasingly demanding cash returns from Big Oil.
Chevron will get most of its production growth from the Permian Basin and is planning a giant expansion at Tengiz in Kazakhstan but analysts have questioned whether the company has a large enough portfolio to sustain growth beyond 2023.
Chevron’s Permian Basin production rose 50% from the same period a year ago and is overall output hit 3.08 million barrels per day, up 9% from a year ago and a record level.
