Exxon delivers $9.2 billion second-quarter profit, raises output targetExxon raises 2024 oil and gas output goal to 4.3 million bpd
Raises capital spending guidance to $28 billion for 2024
Aims to cut cumulative $5 billion in costs through 2027
Aug 2 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil (XOM.N), opens new tab on Friday posted a better-than-expected $9.2 billion second-quarter profit based on rising output from its purchase this year of shale oil firm Pioneer Natural Resources.
Exxon delivered a $2.14 a share profit that beat analysts' estimates on oil production and pricing gains that offset refining weakness. Results mirrored profit beats by rivals BP, Shell and ConocoPhillips.
Higher profit "was driven by record production both in Guyana and in the Permian," which offset lower natural gas and fuel prices, Chief Financial Officer Kathryn Mikells said.
Net income was $9.24 billion, up from $7.88 billion a year ago.
The boost from the Pioneer purchase, which brought on mainly production from the U.S. Permian Basin, highlighted how quickly Exxon was able complete the deal compared to their rivals. Chevron and ConocoPhilips are still waiting to complete regulatory reviews of their pending deals, with Chevron suggesting this week the close of its purchase of Hess may not happen until the second half of next year.

埃克森美孚第二季度實現92億美元利潤,提升產量目標
埃克森美孚將2024年石油和天然氣產量目標提高至每天430萬桶
將2024年資本支出指引提高至280億美元
目標是到2027年累計減少50億美元成本
8月2日(路透社)——埃克森美孚(XOM.N)週五公佈,由於今年收購頁岩油公司Pioneer Natural Resources,第二季度利潤超出預期,達到92億美元。
埃克森美孚每股盈利2.14美元,超過分析師預期,這得益於石油產量和價格上升,抵消了煉油業務的疲弱。這一結果反映了競爭對手BP、殼牌和康菲石油的利潤超預期。
首席財務官Kathryn Mikells表示,較高的利潤“是由於圭亞那和二疊紀盆地的創紀錄產量,抵消了天然氣和燃料價格的下跌”。
淨收入為92.4億美元,高於去年同期的78.8億美元。
Pioneer收購帶來的提振主要來自美國二疊紀盆地的產量,突顯了埃克森美孚與競爭對手相比能夠快速完成交易的能力。雪佛龍和康菲石油仍在等待其未決交易的監管審查,雪佛龍本週表示,其收購Hess的交易可能要到明年下半年才能完成。
