據(jù)海上工程師網(wǎng)2022年1月25日報道，美國赫斯公司（Hess Corp）周二表示，由于公司著眼于在圭亞那和美國巴肯頁巖盆地的業(yè)務，其今年的生產(chǎn)資本支出預算預計將大幅增加37%。
過去一年，全球原油價格上漲50%以上，達到每桶86美元以上，生產(chǎn)商預計將在勘探和鉆井活動上投入更多資金，此前多年來，生產(chǎn)商一直將股東回報置于業(yè)務投資之上。
盡管如此，石油公司仍有望保持有吸引力的股東回報，赫斯公司首席執(zhí)行官約翰·赫斯1月早些時候曾表示，赫斯公司今年將宣布“有意義的”股息增長，并加快回購計劃。
赫斯公司預計今年將投資26億美元用于生產(chǎn)，其中約80%將分配給圭亞那和巴肯頁巖盆地業(yè)務，而去年為19億美元。
今年，赫斯公司的平均油氣凈產(chǎn)量預計將在33萬至34萬桶油當量/天(不包括利比亞)之間，而2021年的預期產(chǎn)量為29.5萬桶油當量/天。
經(jīng)紀公司Cowen & Co.的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，油氣生產(chǎn)商今年的預算預計將增加13%。
赫斯公司將斥資約10億美元進一步開發(fā)圭亞那，圭亞那是本世紀世界上最大的石油發(fā)現(xiàn)地之一，被認為是赫斯公司的業(yè)務增長引擎。同時，赫斯公司將斥資約11.5億美元用于生產(chǎn)，包括在北達科他州巴肯頁巖盆地增建3部鉆機。

Hess Corp Sees Higher Capital Spending, Output in 2022. Focus on Guyana and Bakken
Hess Corp said on Tuesday it expects its 2022 capital budget for production to rise 37% as the oil company looks to focus on its operations in Guyana and the U.S. Bakken shale basin.
A more than 50% rise in global crude prices in the past year to above $86 a barrel is expected to encourage producers to spend more on exploration and drilling activity after years of prioritizing shareholder returns over business investments.
Still, oil companies are expected to maintain attractive shareholder returns, with Hess CEO John Hess saying earlier this month it would announce "meaningful" dividend growth this year and accelerate buyback plans.
Hess expects to spend $2.6 billion on production in 2022, of which about 80% will be allocated to Guyana and the Bakken, compared with $1.9 billion last year.
The company's net production is forecast to average between 330,000 and 340,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) in 2022, excluding Libya, compared with the 295,000 boepd expected in 2021.
Oil and gas producers are expected to increase budgets 13% this year, according to brokerage Cowen & Co.
Hess will spend about $1 billion to further develop Guyana, home of one of the world's largest oil discoveries this century and considered a growth engine for the company, while about $1.15 billion will be spent on production, including for three rigs in North Dakota's Bakken basin.
