据世界石油网2019年4月30日休斯敦报道,总部位于休斯敦的美国著名跨国能源公司菲利普斯66(Phillips 66)第一季度超过分析师的季度利润估计使其成为了美国第二家公布第一季度业绩上升的大型炼油商。此前,投资者和分析师大多预期加拿大原油价格上涨将导致菲利普斯66第一季度业绩不佳。
加拿大最大的原油生产省艾伯塔省日前规定,由于油砂产量增加超过管道输送能力形成了瓶颈,艾伯特省从1月起开始实行临时减产来减少库存中的过剩原油,并推高加拿大原油价格。
菲利普斯66竞争对手北美最大炼油商美国瓦莱罗能源公司(Valero Energy)上周公布的统计数据显示,由于瓦莱罗能源公司设法抵消加拿大原油价格上涨的影响,该公司第一季度利润和营收均超过了预期。
经过调整后,菲利普斯 66在截至3月31日的第一季度里获利下滑到了1.87亿美元,或每股盈利0.40美元,而去年同期为5.12亿美元或每股盈利1.04美元。
根据来自Refinitiv的IBES统计数据,分析师平均预计菲利普斯66第一季度每股将盈利0.34美元。
这家总部位于德克萨斯州休斯顿的炼油商第一季度实现的炼油利润率比去年第四季度下降了56%,至每桶7.23美元,导致炼油利润率下降的主要原因是加拿大原油价格走高以及清洁产品实现率下降。

Phillips 66 follows rival Valero with a profit beat
U.S. refiner Phillips 66 beat analysts’ quarterly profit estimates, becoming the second major refiner to post rising numbers at a time when investors and analysts had largely expected poor performance due to higher Canadian crude prices.
Alberta, Canada’s largest crude-producing province, mandated temporary oil production cuts effective January to reduce excess crude in storage and boost prices of Canadian crude as rising production in oil sands surpassed pipeline capacity, creating bottlenecks.
Rival Valero Energy posted profit and revenue that beat estimates last week as it sought to offset the impact of higher Canadian crude prices.
On an adjusted basis, Phillips 66’s profit fell to $187 million, or 40 cents per share, in the first quarter ended March 31, from $512 million or $1.04 per share a year earlier.
Analysts, on average, were expecting the company to post a profit of 34 cents per share, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
The Houston, Texas-based refiner’s realized refining margins in the first quarter fell 56 percent to $7.23 per barrel, from the fourth quarter, primarily due to higher Canadian crude prices, and lower clean product realizations.
