据油价网8月2日报道，先锋自然资源公司报告称，今年第二季度收入下降33.5%，收益下降50%，今年的预算也有所下降。

该公司表示，本季度营收为46亿美元，每股收益为4.49美元，低于上年同期的9.36美元。

这与今年迄今为止该行业的表现一致，油价下跌自然导致销售和利润下降。

更重要的是，先锋宣布今年计划减少1.25亿美元的支出，更新后的支出范围为43.75亿美元和45.75亿美元。

先锋公司还计划今年投产490至520口新井，这比之前500至530口的目标有所下调。该公司计划在二叠纪盆地使用23至25个钻井平台，比之前的计划减少一个。

与此同时，先锋公司第二季度的石油产量处于其预期范围的上限，自由现金流为7.42亿美元。

该公司石油产量为36.9万桶/天，油当量产量为71.1万桶/天，先锋将其全年预期从37.2万桶/天上调至37.4万桶/天。

此次生产计划的修改很可能是出于二季度的油价趋势担忧和需求疑虑。

然而，现在需求预测正朝着看涨的方向改变，价格再次走高，这无疑会影响整个行业的第三季度业绩，并可能导致新的计划修订。

Devon公司本周也公布了第二季度的数据，也是今年以来较低的数据。与先锋公司一样，该公司也宣布了2023年剩余时间的钻井和完井计划。

Pioneer Natural Resources Latest To Report Earnings Slump

Pioneer Natural Resources reported a 33.5% decline in revenues for the second quarter of the year, 50% lower earnings, and an updated, lower budget for the year.

The company said it had generated revenue of $4.6 billion over the quarter, with earnings coming in at $4.49 per share, down from $9.36 per share a year earlier.

This is in line with the performance of the rest of the industry so far this year, with lower oil prices naturally leading to lower sales and profits.

What is more important is the announcement that Pioneer now plans to spend $125 million less this year with its updated spending range set at $4.375 billion and $4.575 billion.

Pioneer also plans to put 490 to 520 new wells in operation this year, which is a downward revision from an earlier target of 500 to 530.  The company plans to use 23 to 25 rigs in the Permian, down by one from earlier plans.

At the same time, Pioneer booked oil production at the upper end of its guidance range during the second quarter and boasted free cash flow of $742 million.

Oil production came in at 369,000 bpd, with oil-equivalent production at 711,000 bpd, with Pioneer upping its full-year guidance to 374,000 bpd from 372,000 bpd.

The revision of production plans was in all likelihood the result of oil price trends during the second quarter as well as demand doubts.

Yet now demand forecasts are being updated in a bullish direction and prices are once again on their way higher, which would no doubt affect third-quarter performance across the industry and maybe lead to new plan revisions.

Devon also reported second-quarter figures this week—also lower on the year—and, like Pioneer, announced less ambitious drilling and completions plan for the rest of 2023.
