原标题：马拉松石油公司利润大幅走高

　　中国石化新闻网讯据路透5月6日报道，因新冠肺炎疫苗的推出和旅游限制的放宽推动油价反弹，美国油气生产商马拉松石油公司(Marathon oil Corp .)和APA公司(APA Corp .）公布的第一季度利润超过华尔街预期。

　　2020年初，疫情沉重地打击了燃料需求，此后，原油价格在今年上涨了至少三分之一。此外，马拉松及其同行还受益于去年的成本和产量削减。

　　马拉松石油表示，美国第一季度原油均价从2020年最后三个月的每桶39.71美元升至55.38美元。总产量从去年第四季度的35.2万桶/天下降到34.5万桶/天。

　　上周，该公司成为最新一家提高季度股息的石油生产商，将股息从每股3美分提高到4美分，同时还偿还了5亿美元的债务。

　　与此同时，APA表示，总平均油价升至每桶59.62美元，较前一季度上涨了近38%。该公司预计第二季度调整后的总产量将达到34万桶/天。不过，该公司第一季度的产量从41.1万桶/天下降到38.2万桶/天。

　　APA警告称，其国际产量受到影响，原因是与埃及实际油价上涨和北海维修停工期相关的产量分成合同延长。

　　马拉松石油表示，第一季调整后收益为1.66亿美元，合每股盈余 0.21美元，而第四季为亏损9800万美元，合每股盈余 0.12美元。

　　根据Refinitiv IBES的数据，这超过了分析师平均预测的每股11美分的利润。

　　APA公布调整后每股获利91美分，高于预期的66美分。

　　另外，规模较小的竞争对手怀廷石油公司(Whiting Petroleum)和Callon石油公司均公布了较小的亏损。

　　Marathon Oil, APA profits beat as crude prices recover from pandemic lows

　　U.S. oil and gas producers Marathon Oil Corp (MRO.N) and APA Corp (APA.O) beat Wall Street estimates for first-quarter profits on Wednesday, as COVID-19 vaccine rollouts and easing travel restrictions powered a rebound in oil prices.

　　Crude prices are up at least a third this year, after the pandemic hammered fuel demand at the start of 2020. Marathon and peers have also benefited from cost and production cuts last year.

　　Marathon said first-quarter U.S. average realized price for crude rose to $55.38 per barrel from $39.71 per barrel in the last three months of 2020. Total production fell to 345,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) from 352,000 boepd in the fourth quarter.

　　The company last week became the latest oil producer to raise its quarterly dividend, increasing it to 4 cents per share from 3 cents per share while also redeeming $500 million in debt.

　　Meanwhile, APA said its total average oil price rose to $59.62 per barrel, a nearly 38% jump from the prior quarter. The company expects second-quarter total adjusted production to come at 340,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd).

　　Its first-quarter reported production fell to 382,000 boepd from 411,000 boepd, sequentially.

　　The company warned last month its international output was hit because of production sharing contracts associated with higher realized oil prices in Egypt and extended maintenance downtime in the North Sea.

　　Marathon said first-quarter adjusted income stood at $166 million, or 21 cents per share, compared with a loss of $98 million, or 12 cents per share, in the fourth.

　　This beat the average analyst estimate of 11 cents profit per share, according to Refinitiv IBES.

　　APA posted an adjusted profit of 91 cents per share, topping estimate of 66 cents.

　　Smaller rivals Whiting Petroleum (WLL.N) and Callon Petroleum (CPE.N) both posted smaller losses, sequentially.
