據MRCHUB網站4月12日莫斯科報道，油氣巨頭殼牌公司上周四表示，由于稅收和折舊成本可能更高，利用率較低，其賓夕法尼亞州石化綜合體的產能增長速度低于預期，該公司預計其化工部門將在2023年的前三個月出現虧損。
預計稅前折舊成本為8億至10億美元，而2022年第四季度為8億美元，而該部門的稅收費用預計為1億至6億美元，而上一季度為零。
盡管第一季度的指示性利潤率為140美元/噸，但已實現的化學品利潤預計將低于100美元/噸，較2022年第四季度的37美元/噸大幅增加，而2022年第三季度虧損27美元/噸。
指示性和已實現的化學品利潤率之間的差異是由于該公司新落成的賓夕法尼亞綜合設施產能增長速度慢于預期，從而導致利用率較低。
該公司今年煉油利潤率預計為15美元/桶，而2022年第四季度為19美元/桶；利用率預計為70%至74%，而前三個月為75%。

Shell projects Q1 loss for chems ops on higher costs
Shell expects its chemicals division to post a loss for the first three months of 2023, the oil and gas major said on Thursday, amid potential higher tax and depreciation costs, lower utilisation rates and slower than expected ramp-up of its Pennsylvania petrochemicals complex, said the company.
Pre-tax depreciation costs are expected to be USD800m-1bn compared to USD800m during the fourth quarter of 2022, while tax charges for the division are expected to be USD100m-600m for the period compared to zero in the prior quarter.
Realised chemicals margins are expected to be below USD100/tonne despite the indicative margin for the first quarter standing at USD140/tonne, a substantial increase on the USD37/tonne generated in the fourth quarter and USD27/tonne loss during the third quarter 2022.
The disparity between indicative and realised chemicals margins is due to lower utilisation as a result of slower than projected capacity ramp-ups at the firm’s newly-completed Pennsylvania complex.
Refining margins are expected to be USD15/bbl compared to USD19/bbl during the fourth quarter of 2022, while utilisation levels are expected to 70-74% compared to 75% during the preceding three months.
