據油價網8月2日報道，先鋒自然資源公司報告稱，今年第二季度收入下降33.5%，收益下降50%，今年的預算也有所下降。

該公司表示，本季度營收為46億美元，每股收益為4.49美元，低于上年同期的9.36美元。

這與今年迄今為止該行業的表現一致，油價下跌自然導致銷售和利潤下降。

更重要的是，先鋒宣布今年計劃減少1.25億美元的支出，更新后的支出范圍為43.75億美元和45.75億美元。

先鋒公司還計劃今年投產490至520口新井，這比之前500至530口的目標有所下調。該公司計劃在二疊紀盆地使用23至25個鉆井平臺，比之前的計劃減少一個。

與此同時，先鋒公司第二季度的石油產量處于其預期范圍的上限，自由現金流為7.42億美元。

該公司石油產量為36.9萬桶/天，油當量產量為71.1萬桶/天，先鋒將其全年預期從37.2萬桶/天上調至37.4萬桶/天。

此次生產計劃的修改很可能是出于二季度的油價趨勢擔憂和需求疑慮。

然而，現在需求預測正朝著看漲的方向改變，價格再次走高，這無疑會影響整個行業的第三季度業績，并可能導致新的計劃修訂。

Devon公司本周也公布了第二季度的數據，也是今年以來較低的數據。與先鋒公司一樣，該公司也宣布了2023年剩余時間的鉆井和完井計劃。

Pioneer Natural Resources Latest To Report Earnings Slump

Pioneer Natural Resources reported a 33.5% decline in revenues for the second quarter of the year, 50% lower earnings, and an updated, lower budget for the year.

The company said it had generated revenue of $4.6 billion over the quarter, with earnings coming in at $4.49 per share, down from $9.36 per share a year earlier.

This is in line with the performance of the rest of the industry so far this year, with lower oil prices naturally leading to lower sales and profits.

What is more important is the announcement that Pioneer now plans to spend $125 million less this year with its updated spending range set at $4.375 billion and $4.575 billion.

Pioneer also plans to put 490 to 520 new wells in operation this year, which is a downward revision from an earlier target of 500 to 530.  The company plans to use 23 to 25 rigs in the Permian, down by one from earlier plans.

At the same time, Pioneer booked oil production at the upper end of its guidance range during the second quarter and boasted free cash flow of $742 million.

Oil production came in at 369,000 bpd, with oil-equivalent production at 711,000 bpd, with Pioneer upping its full-year guidance to 374,000 bpd from 372,000 bpd.

The revision of production plans was in all likelihood the result of oil price trends during the second quarter as well as demand doubts.

Yet now demand forecasts are being updated in a bullish direction and prices are once again on their way higher, which would no doubt affect third-quarter performance across the industry and maybe lead to new plan revisions.

Devon also reported second-quarter figures this week—also lower on the year—and, like Pioneer, announced less ambitious drilling and completions plan for the rest of 2023.
