据油气在线5月3日消息,全球著名的信用评级公司穆迪公司旗下投资者服务公司最新发布的研究报告指出,全球独立的油气勘探和开采公司的未来前景仍然保持积极,2018年的息税折旧摊销前利润(EBITDA)预计将增长18%-22%。穆迪投资者服务公司称,虽然成本的增长可能会削弱现金流水平,但是未来12-18个月全球独立油气勘探和开采公司的EBITDA将继续强劲增长,即便油气大宗商品价格保持在一个适中的范围内。穆迪公司副总裁Amol Joshi表示:“我们预计2018年全球独立油气勘探和开采行业的EBITDA增速将保持在18%-22%的区间内,继续维持2017年强劲增长的势头,此前在2015-2016年期间,全球独立油气勘探和开采行业的EBITDA出现了大幅下挫。”

Moody’s: Outlook for E&Ps remains positive
The outlook for global independent exploration and production firms remains positive, buoyed by strong earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), expected to reach 18-22% higher in 2018, according to Moody’s Investors Service in a recent report. EBITDA will continue to grow strongly over the next 12-18 months, even as commodity prices stay within a moderate range, although higher costs could cut into cash flow. “We expect the global independent E&P sector to see EBITDA growth in the 18-22% range in 2018, continuing 2017’s robust growth after steep declines in 2015-16,” said Moody’s Vice-Pres. Amol Joshi.
