首席執(zhí)行官Ryan Lance稱2021年為“變革年”，該公司收購(gòu)了康喬資源和殼牌二疊紀(jì)資產(chǎn)，同時(shí)通過(guò)分紅和股票回購(gòu)仍將60億美元返還給股東。該公司周四宣布計(jì)劃將今年的股東回報(bào)提高10億美元，使2022年的總額達(dá)到80億美元，比去年增長(zhǎng)30%以上。

盡管在疫情期間，康菲石油大舉收購(gòu)對(duì)手康喬并以200億美元收購(gòu)殼牌旗下龐大的二疊紀(jì)資產(chǎn)，但它還是成功地提高了利潤(rùn)率。這些交易使這家石油巨頭在美國(guó)產(chǎn)量最高的二疊紀(jì)盆地?fù)碛械诙蟮匚弧?/p>

ConocoPhillips posts $8.1bn profit last year, highest since 2013
ConocoPhillips had its most profitable year since 2013 as oil demand and prices recovered from the pandemic-driven crash.
The Houston independent oil giant on Thursday reported a $8.1 billion profit in 2021, compared with a loss of $2.7 billion in 2020 and a profit of $7.2 billion in 2019. Annual revenue last year fell to $17 billion, from $19.3 billion in 2020 and $36.7 billion in 2019.
CEO Ryan Lance called 2021 a “transformative year” for the company, which acquired Concho Resources and Shell’s Permian assets while still returning $6 billion to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. The company on Thursday announced plans to increase shareholder returns this year by $1 billion, bringing the 2022 total to $8 billion, up more than 30 percent from last year.
“It has been a remarkable year for the company, and I could not be more proud of our employees,” Lance said.
Big Oil is back to turning big profits, recovering from the worst oil bust in a generation. The rollout of coronavirus vaccines last year lifted restrictions on business and travel, raising demand for crude and petroleum products such as gasoline and jet fuel. West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. crude benchmark, was trading around $87.10 on Thursday morning, down $1.16 from Wednesday but up from around $48 a barrel a year ago.
Conoco has reported four consecutive profitable quarters, reporting earnings of $2.6 billion in the three months ended Dec. 31 compared with a loss of $800 million during the same period a year earlier. Fourth-quarter revenue fell slightly to $5.9 billion from $6 billion a year earlier.
Conoco managed to improve profit margins even as it went on a buying spree during the pandemic, gobbling up rival Concho and acquiring Shell’s vast Permian assets for $20 billion. The deals gave the oil giant the second largest position in the Permian Basin, the nation’s most productive oil field.
