Royal Dutch Shell recently provided an update on its fourth-quarter guidance. Let’s delve into some key segmental revisions.
Further, Shell envisioned its post-tax impairment charges between $1.7 billion and $2.3 billion for the fourth quarter. It expects its 2019 cash capital expenditure at the lower end of its previous guided range of $24-29 billion.
Upstream
The upstream production is projected between 2,775 and 2,825 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d). Its year-ago production was 2,809 thousand boe/d. However, Shell had earlier predicted its fourth-quarter 2019 upstream volumes to be 2,650-2,800 thousand boe/d. Compared with the prior-year quarter, the company expects to incur additional $100-$200 million well write-offs for the ongoing quarter due to weaker macro-economic outlook.
Downstream
Shell estimated its fourth-quarter oil product sales in the band of 6,500-7,000 thousand barrels per day. This indicates a 1.36% increase from the year-earlier reported number assuming that the upper end of the estimate will be met.
This Netherlands-based company anticipates its refinery availability between 91% and 93%. In the earlier quarter, Shell successfully divested its SASREF refining joint venture. Consequently, the oil and gas supermajor will see a decline in chemical sales from 4.1 million tons in the fourth quarter of 2018 to 3.4-3.6 million tons in fourth-quarter 2019.
The company expects its fourth-quarter LNG liquefaction volumes to expand to 8.8-9.4 million tonnes from its previous year’s quarterly output of 8.78 million tonnes. Moreover, its segmental production is forecast in the 920-970 thousand boe/d band. In the year-earlier period, Shell produced 979 thousand boe/d.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter bottom line is predicted to be $1.08 per share.
