據(jù)OE網(wǎng)站8月10日報(bào)道，日本能源公司Inpex Corp的一名高管周二表示，由于新冠疫情影響了調(diào)查工作，并可能由于氣候變化而需要進(jìn)行調(diào)整，預(yù)計(jì)其對印尼阿巴迪液化天然氣項(xiàng)目的最終投資決定(FID)將被推遲。
這家日本最大的油氣勘探公司于2019年7月表示，計(jì)劃于2020年啟動這個耗資200億美元項(xiàng)目(也被稱為Masela天然氣項(xiàng)目)的前端工程設(shè)計(jì)(FEED)，該巨型氣田的液化天然氣生產(chǎn)將于2027-2028年開始。Inpex控制了該項(xiàng)目65%的股份。
但I(xiàn)npex的執(zhí)行總裁Daisuke Yamada表示，由于印度尼西亞的疫情，F(xiàn)EED的籌備工作從去年開始就暫停了。
Yamada在一次財(cái)報(bào)簡會上對媒體表示,FID會有一些延遲，但我不能說什么時候。
該公司2019年曾表示，其目標(biāo)是在三到四年內(nèi)完成FID。
Yamada表示，此外，鑒于全球越來越多地推動脫碳，我們可能需要考慮重新設(shè)計(jì)阿巴迪項(xiàng)目，采用碳捕獲和存儲(CCS)或碳捕獲利用和存儲(CCUS)。
然而，其稱，Inpex仍然致力于開發(fā)該項(xiàng)目，因?yàn)樵摴鞠Ｍ诎拇罄麃喌腎chthys液化天然氣項(xiàng)目之外建立另一個支柱。
該公司將2021年的凈利潤預(yù)測上調(diào)21%，至1700億日元（約合15.4億美元），這標(biāo)志著該公司從去年因油氣資產(chǎn)的巨額減值損失造成的1117億損失中V型復(fù)蘇。
Yamada稱，高于預(yù)期的油價是此次上調(diào)的原因。
該公司還將年度股息預(yù)期從每股33日元上調(diào)至40日元。
1-6月，Inpex凈利潤為519.8億日元，而去年疫情重創(chuàng)油價時虧損1208億日元。

Indonesia: Inpex to Delay FID for Abadi LNG Project
Japanese energy company Inpex Corp expects its final investment decision (FID) on the Abadi liquefied natural gas project in Indonesia to be delayed because COVID-19 has disrupted survey work and adjustments may be needed due to climate change, a senior executive said on Tuesday.
Japan's biggest oil and gas explorer said in July 2019 that it planned to start front-end engineering design (FEED) on the $20 billion project, also known as the Masela gas project, in 2020, with LNG production at the giant field due to start by 2027-2028. Inpex controls 65% of the project.
But preparatory work for the FEED has been suspended since last year due to the pandemic in Indonesia, Inpex's managing executive officer, Daisuke Yamada, said.
"There will be some delay in the FID though I can't say when," Yamada told media during an earnings briefing.
The company said in 2019 that it aimed to wrap up its FID in three to four years.
"Also, given the growing global push toward decarbonization, we may need to consider redesigning the Abadi project with carbon capture and storage (CCS) or carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS)," Yamada said.
Inpex, however, remains committed to developing the project, he said, as it wants to build another pillar in addition to its Ichthys LNG project in Australia.
The company raised its net profit forecast by 21% to 170 billion yen ($1.54 billion) for 2021, marking a V-shaped recovery from last year's 111.7 billion loss due to hefty impairment losses on its oil and gas assets.
"Higher than expected oil prices are behind the upgrade," Yamada said.
The company also lifted its annual dividend estimate to 40 yen a share from 33 yen.
For the January-June period, Inpex booked a 51.98 billion yen net profit, against a 120.80 billion yen loss a year earlier when the pandemic hammered oil prices.
