斯倫貝謝公司在其最新的收益報告中公布了其第二季度高于預期的利潤。  

由于鉆井活動的反彈，這家全球油田服務巨頭現在提高其今年的收入和盈利預期。  

斯倫貝謝公司首席執行官奧利弗·勒佩奇表示：“隨著上游業務和服務價格的穩步上升，多年來的上升周期繼續獲得動力。”

據美國油價網7月22日報道，全球最大的油田服務提供商斯倫貝謝公司周五公布的其第二季度利潤高于預期，由于所有市場的鉆井活動反彈，促使斯倫貝謝公司提高了其今年的收入和盈利預期，因為“多年的上升周期繼續獲得動力”。

斯倫貝謝公司第二季度扣除費用和信貸后的每股收益（EPS）為0.50美元，環比增長47%，同比增長67%。 每股收益高于《華爾街日報》匯編的分析師們平均預期的0.40美元。

由于斯倫貝謝公司公布了其第二季度高于預期的收益和營收，并上調了全年收入和盈利預期，其股價盤前上漲2.26%。 

斯倫貝謝公司第二季度營收為68億美元，同比增長20%，環比增長14%。 

勒佩奇表示：“由于這一業績，并基于我們對今年剩余時間的最新展望，預計該公司今年的收入同比增長將達到15%至15%，這相當于全年將至少獲得270億美元的收入。”

勒佩奇補充說：“鑒于我們雄心勃勃地希望今年結束時，經調整后的EBITDA（稅息折舊及攤銷前利潤）收益比去年第四季度高出200個基點，我們預計這一收入的增加將導致今年收益超過我們之前的預期。”

勒佩奇表示：“隨著上游業務和服務價格在國際和北美地區的穩步上升，多年來的上升周期繼續獲得動力，這將導致斯倫貝謝公司的前景得到加強。”

勒佩奇在評論石油市場和鉆井活動前景時表示：“盡管近期人們對全球經濟放緩感到擔憂，但能源安全、有利的收支平衡價格以及增加油氣生產能力的緊迫性等因素結合在一起，預計將繼續支持上游勘探和生產支出的強勁增長。因此，我們正在見證上游支出與近期需求波動的脫鉤，這將導致全球油氣活動在今年及以后出現彈性增長。”

斯倫貝謝公司是全球三大油田服務提供商中最后一個公布第二季度收益的公司。本周早些時候，貝克休斯公司表示，由于供應鏈通脹和產能大國業務暫停帶來的收入損失，公司業績“喜憂參半”。 貝克休斯董事長兼首席執行官Lorenzo Simonelli表示，在今年剩余時間和明年，石油市場將面臨“一系列不同尋常的環境和挑戰”。

7月19日，哈利伯頓公司揭開了油氣行業財報季的帷幕，該公司報告稱，由于北美和國際市場鉆井活動的增加，其第二季度調整后凈利潤激增41%，并表示預計國際市場將看到“多年的增長”。

World’s Top Oilfield Service Provider Raises Earnings Outlook

·     Schlumberger reported higher-than-expected profits in its latest earnings report.

·     The oilfield service giant is now raising 2022 revenue and earnings outlook as drilling activity rebounds.

·    “The multiyear upcycle continues to gain momentum with upstream activity and service pricing steadily increasing,” said Schlumberger chief Olivier Le Peuch.

Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB) reported on Friday higher-than-expected profit for the second quarter as drilling activity rebounded in all markets, prompting the world’s largest oilfield service provider to raise its 2022 revenue and earnings outlook as “the multiyear upcycle continues to gain momentum.”  Schlumberger booked earnings per share (EPS), excluding charges and credits, of $0.50 for the second quarter, up by 47% sequentially and 67% year on year. This past quarter’s EPS were higher than the $0.40 EPS average analyst estimate compiled by The Wall Street Journal.

Schlumberger’s shares rose by 2.26% pre-market after the higher-than-expected earnings and revenue and the raised outlook for the full year. 

For Q2, Schlumberger reported revenues of $6.8 billion, up by 14% sequentially and 20% year on year. 

“As a result of this performance and based on our updated outlook for the remainder of the year, 2022 year-on-year revenue growth is now expected to be in the high-teens which translates to full-year revenue of at least $27 billion,” Schlumberger CEO Olivier Le Peuch said. 

“We expect this higher revenue to result in earnings that exceed our previous expectations, given our ambition to exit the year with adjusted EBITDA margins 200 basis points higher than in the fourth quarter of 2021,” Le Peuch added. 

“The multiyear upcycle continues to gain momentum with upstream activity and service pricing steadily increasing both internationally and in North America, resulting in a strengthened outlook for Schlumberger,” the executive said.

Commenting on the oil market and drilling activity prospects, Le Peuch said, “Despite near-term concerns over a global economic slowdown, the combination of energy security, favorable break-even prices, and the urgency to grow oil and gas production capacity is expected to continue to support strong upstream E&P spending growth. Consequently, we are witnessing a decoupling of upstream spending from near-term demand volatility, resulting in resilient global oil and gas activity growth in 2022 and beyond.” 

Schlumberger was the last of the three biggest oilfield service providers reporting Q2 earnings. Earlier this week, Baker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR) flagged “mixed results” due to supply-chain inflation and revenue losses from the suspension of its operations in the largerproducer. Baker Hughes sees the oil market facing “an unusual set of circumstances and challenges” for the rest of this year and into next year, Baker Hughes chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said. 

Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) opened the oil and gas industry’s earnings season on Tuesday, reporting a 41-percent surge in its second-quarter adjusted net income amid growing drilling activity both in North America and in international markets, and saying it expects international markets to see “multiple years of growth.”
