据油气新闻网1月11日报道，挪威能源巨头Equinor周二表示，该公司2021年最后一个季度计入14亿至15亿美元的天然气衍生品亏损，这与此前的声明相符，即第三季度的部分利润将扭转。

去年10月27日，这家挪威最大的公司报告称，受全球能源供应紧张的推动，其7月-9月收益大幅增长。全球能源供应紧张推动欧洲天然气价格创下历史新高，并推动衍生品合约价值飙升。

但该公司同时提醒称，这种按市值计价的天然气合同会计核算方法，将导致10月-12月当季出现亏损，因为这一季度的天然气产量是根据长期合同交付的，而这些合同是以较低价格签订的。

Equinor 的天然气销售主要基于现货，但其长期管道天然气合同的一部分基于长期的指数。

该公司周二在一份声明中重申，采取衍生品头寸的决定对Equinor有利。

去年12月21日，荷兰TTF日前天然气合同飙升至186.25欧元/兆瓦时的历史新高，与2021年初约20欧元/兆瓦时的价格相比，上涨了近10倍。

此后，价格回落至85欧元/兆瓦时左右。

Equinor outlines $1.5bn in Q4 gas derivatives losses

Equinor will book a loss from gas derivatives of between $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion for the final quarter of 2021, in line with previous statements that some third-quarter profits would be reversed, the energy company said on Tuesday.

Norway's largest company on Oct. 27 reported a surge in July-September earnings, driven by a global energy supply crunch that pushed Europe's natural gas prices to record highs and sent the value of derivative contracts soaring.

But the company had simultaneously warned that this mark-to-market accounting of gas contracts would be followed by losses in the October-December quarter when volumes were delivered under long-term contracts that were concluded at lower prices.

Equinor's gas sales are mostly spot based, but a share of its long term piped gas contracts are based on longer-dated indices.

"The decision to take derivative positions has been beneficial for Equinor as a group," the company reiterated in a statement on Tuesday.

The Dutch TTF day-ahead gas contract soared to a record high of 186.25 euros per megawatt hour (MWh) on Dec. 21, an almost ten-fold increase compared with prices of around 20 euros/MWh at the start of 2021.

Prices have since fallen back to around 85 euros/MWh.
