据彭博社2月25日消息：在大流行导致的能源需求和价格暴跌之后，埃克森美孚公司的全球石油和天然气储量下降了近三分之一，至该公司近代历史最低水平。
根据周三提交给监管机构的文件，截至2020年12月31日，埃克森美孚的储量为152亿桶，低于一年前的224.4亿桶。
大部分下调涉及埃克森美孚在加拿大的油砂开发项目以及美国的页岩项目，该公司将这些项目的150万桶原油从总账中删除。就在未来生产潜力受到打击的几周前，埃克森公布了至少40年来的首次年度亏损。
埃克森美孚股价在盘后交易中几乎没有变化，为56.80美元，今年以来上涨了38％。

Exxon Reserves Plunge 32% After Historic Oil-Price Collapse
Exxon Mobil Corp.’s worldwide oil and natural gas reserves declined by almost one-third to lowest in the company’s modern history after the pandemic-driven collapse in energy demand and prices.
Exxon counted the equivalent of 15.2 billion barrels of reserves as of Dec. 31, down from 22.44 billion a year earlier, according to a regulatory filing on Wednesday.
Most of the downward revisions involved Exxon’s Canadian oil-sands developments as well as U.S. shale, where it removed 1.5 million barrels from the ledger. The blow to future production potential comes just weeks after Exxon posted its first annual loss in at least four decades.
Exxon shares were little changed at $56.80 in after-hours trading and have advanced 38% this year.
