據能源世界網4月29日巴黎報道，法國能源集團道達爾(Total SE)周四公布的第一季度收益，與新冠疫情影響利潤之前的水平相當，由于油氣價格上漲提振了其貿易業務，并增加了發電量。

　　該公司正日益向可再生能源領域拓展，并從以碳氫化合物為中心的業務中實現多元化，在煉油等領域遭受重創之際，該公司從中獲利。

　　道達爾報告稱，1-3月期間，調整后凈利潤為30億美元，同比增長69%，比2019年第一季度水平高出9%。盡管與去年同期相比，油氣產量下降了7%，降至286.3萬桶油當量/天。

　　隨著2020年初因新冠疫情封鎖的開始，油價暴跌，導致旅行陷入停滯，燃料需求大幅下降，迫使道達爾等公司削減投資，尋求成本節約。

　　價格回升正在提振道達爾和英國石油(BP)等同行的收入，因為COVID-19疫苗接種項目的加速也提高了持續需求的前景，盡管一些歐洲國家仍在實行封鎖。

　　道達爾警告稱，石油環境仍然“不穩定，并取決于全球需求復蘇。”

　　與一些同行一樣，其也受益于蓬勃發展的天然氣業務。

　　將把自己重新命名為Total Energies道達爾能源的該集團表示，今年的投資目標是120億-130億美元，其中一半用于維持活動，其余用于增長，包括進一步進軍可再生能源領域。

　　道達爾表示，基于油氣價格保持在第一季度水平，布倫特原油價格為每桶60美元，歐洲煉油利潤率為每噸10 - 15美元，預計2021年將產生約240億美元的債務調整后現金流。

　　與第一季度收益相比，該集團中期股息保持穩定，為每股0.66歐元。

　　Total back to pre-pandemic profit levels as oil prices rise

　　French energy group Total SE on Thursday posted first-quarter earnings similar to the levels it was generating before the coronavirus pandemic hit profits, as higher oil and gas prices boosted its trading business and it increased electricity production.

　　The company, which is increasingly branching into renewable energy and diversifying away from its hydrocarbon-centered activities, profited from this drive as areas like oil refining suffered.

　　Total reported an adjusted net income of $3 billion for the January to March period, a 69 per cent rise year-on-year, and 9 per cent above first quarter 2019 levels.

　　This was despite a drop in hydrocarbon production of 7 per cent from a year earlier, to 2.863 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd).

　　Oil prices plummeted with the start of coronavirus lockdowns early in 2020 that brought travel to a standstill and crushed fuel demand, pushing companies like Total to cut investments and find cost savings.

　　Recovering prices are now boosting earnings at Total and peers like Britain's BP, as accelerating COVID-19 vaccination programmes also raise prospects for sustained demand, although lockdowns remain in place in some of Europe.

　　Total cautioned that the oil environment remained "volatile and dependent on the global demand recovery."

　　Like some peers, it is also benefiting from a booming natural gas business.

　　The group, which is set to rebrand itself as TotalEnergies, said it was eyeing $12 billion to $13 billion in investments this year, with half of that going to maintaining activities and the rest for growth, including to further its push into renewable energy.

　　Total said it expected to generate some $24 billion in debt-adjusted cash flow in 2021, based on hydrocarbon prices remaining at first-quarter levels, with Brent crude at $60 a barrel, and European refining margins of $10 to $15 per tonne.

　　The group maintained a stable interim dividend of 0.66 euros per share against first quarter earnings.
