???? 據(jù)全球能源新聞2月2日消息稱，英國能源巨頭英國石油公司(BP)周二發(fā)布的財務(wù)業(yè)績報告顯示，受具有挑戰(zhàn)性的價格環(huán)境與COVID-19相關(guān)的需求影響，該公司2020年虧損203億美元，低于2019年的利潤40億美元。
????盡管2020年全年虧損巨大，但該公司在2020年第四季度盈利14億美元，而第三季度虧損5億美元。
????鑒于英國石油第二季凈虧損約168億美元，去年第一季凈虧損44億美元，該公司首席財務(wù)官Murray Auchincloss將該業(yè)績形容為"強勁進(jìn)展"。
????該公司解釋稱，2020年全年，新型冠狀病毒(COVID-19)爆發(fā)造成的成本約為4億美元。
????為了實現(xiàn)公司的凈零排放目標(biāo)，魯尼表示，英國石油公司制定了一個新戰(zhàn)略，成為一家綜合性能源公司，并在美國建立了海上風(fēng)力發(fā)電業(yè)務(wù)。
????BP表示，在非歐佩克+國家有限增長的幫助下，加上歐佩克+積極的市場管理，預(yù)計到2021年，目前的高庫存水平將正常化。
????該公司預(yù)計2021年石油需求將出現(xiàn)復(fù)蘇，然而，該公司表示，反彈的速度和程度將取決于政府政策和疫苗分發(fā)過程中采取的個人行動。
????BP表示，自去年10月底以來，在疫苗推出計劃的支持下，并且歐佩克+成員國繼續(xù)進(jìn)行積極的供應(yīng)管理，石油價格一直在上漲。預(yù)計油價仍將受歐佩克+的決定、對管理疫苗推廣和進(jìn)一步病毒控制措施的信心的影響。
????盡管2020年布倫特原油平均價格為每桶41.84美元，但BP表示，它估計國際基準(zhǔn)油價在2021年至2025年期間平均將達(dá)到每桶50美元，然后在2030年至2040年期間升至每桶60美元，然后在2050年再次跌至每桶50美元。
????該公司表示：“BP現(xiàn)在看到了對疫情全球經(jīng)濟(jì)產(chǎn)生持久影響的前景，能源需求可能會在一段時間內(nèi)持續(xù)減弱。”
????該公司還解釋說，預(yù)計在疫情爆發(fā)后，向低碳經(jīng)濟(jì)和能源體系轉(zhuǎn)型的步伐將加快，因為各國都在尋求“更好的重建”，使其經(jīng)濟(jì)在未來更有彈性。

????BP posts $20.3 billion loss in 2020
????British energy giant BP reported a $20.3 billion loss in 2020, down from a $4 billion profit in 2019, driven by a challenging price environment and COVID-19 related demand impacts, according to its financial results statement released on Tuesday.
????Despite the huge loss in the full year of 2020, the company recorded a $1.4 billion profit in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to a $0.5 billion loss in the third quarter.
????The company's Chief Financial Officer Murray Auchincloss described the results as "strong progress", considering BP posted net losses of approximately $16.8 billion in the second quarter and $4.4 billion for the first quarter of last year.
????The company explained that costs resulting from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak reached around $0.4 billion for the full year of 2020.
????In line with the company's net-zero ambition, Looney said BP set a new strategy to become an integrated energy company and created an offshore wind business in the US.
????BP said it anticipates a normalization of the currently high oil inventory levels through 2021 with the help of limited growth from non-OPEC+ countries coupled with active market management from OPEC+.
????The company expects a recovery in oil demand in 2021, however, it said the speed and degree of the rebound would depend on government policies and individual self-imposed actions as vaccine distribution proceeds.
????Oil prices, which have risen since the end of October last year with the support of vaccine rollout programs and continued active supply management by OPEC+ countries, are expected to remain subject to the decisions of OPEC+, confidence in efforts to manage the rollout of vaccination and further virus control measures, BP said.
????While the price of Brent crude averaged $41.84 per barrel in 2020, BP said it estimates the international benchmark would average $50 a barrel between 2021 and 2025, and then increase to an average of $60 a barrel between 2030 and 2040 before it drops to $50 a barrel again in 2050.
????"BP now sees the prospect of an enduring impact on the global economy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the potential for weaker demand for energy for a sustained period," the company said.
????The company also explained that it expects an acceleration in the pace of transition to a lower-carbon economy and energy system in the aftermath of the pandemic, as countries seek to "build back better" so their economies will be more resilient in the future.?
