據管道＆天然氣雜志網8月15日報道，隨著油氣價格從去年的峰值回落，加拿大森科爾能源公司(Suncor Energy)周一加入全球公布季度利潤大幅下降同行的行列。

由于銀行業危機和對可能出現衰退的擔憂引發了對需求的擔憂，全球油價在第二季度較上年同期下滑。

Suncor還在第二季度計入了2.75億加元(2.04億美元)的重組費用，這與該公司今年裁員1500人以降低成本的計劃有關。

但這家加拿大第二大石油生產商表示，在二季度中，由于維護活動減少，其上游總產量增加了3%，達到每天74.19萬桶油當量。

Suncor的煉油廠平均利用率為85%，原油日吞吐量增長1.3%，達到39.44萬桶。

根據Refinitiv的數據顯示，該公司公布的季度調整后營業利潤為每股0.96加元，而分析師的預期為每股0.82加元。

森科爾還表示，6月份經歷的網絡安全事件并未影響其業績。

該公司公布的季度凈利潤為18.8億加元(合14億美元)，合每股1.44加元，上年同期為40億加元，合每股2.84加元。

其加拿大同行帝國石油(Imperial Oil)和Cenovus能源也報告稱，季度利潤大幅下滑。

Suncor Energy's Quarterly Profit Halves on Lower Oil and Gas Prices

Canada's Suncor Energy on Monday joined its global peers in reporting a sharp drop in quarterly profit, as oil and gas prices retreated from last year's peak.

Global oil prices slipped in the quarter from a year earlier, as a banking sector crisis and worries about a possible recession raised concerns around demand.

Suncor also took a C$275 million ($204 million) restructuring charge during the second quarter related to its plans to cut 1,500 jobs this year to reduce costs.

But Canada's second-largest oil producer said its total upstream production rose by 3% to 741,900 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) in the quarter ended June 30, aided by lower maintenance activities.

Suncor's refinery utilization averaged 85% and its crude throughput climbed 1.3% to 394,400 barrels per day.

The company posted quarterly adjusted operating earnings of 96 Canadian cents per share, compared with analysts' expectations of 82 Canadian cents per share, according to Refinitiv data.

Suncor also said a cybersecurity incident that it experienced in June did not impact its results.

The company reported quarterly net income of C$1.88 billion ($1.40 billion), or C$1.44 per share, compared with C$4 billion, or C$2.84 per share, a year earlier.

Peer Imperial Oil and Cenovus Energy also reported a slump in their quarterly profits in July.
