5 月 4 日，加拿大自然资源有限公司 (Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.) 第一季​​度利润略低于分析师预期，因为能源价格下跌足以抵消该国最大石油和天然气生产商产量的增长。

1月至3月期间，原油价格同比下跌20%，较去年同期俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后的多年高位回落。

此外，最近的美国银行业危机以及对中国复苏步伐的担忧对2023年前三个月的原油价格构成压力。

在报告的季度中，加拿大天然公司的产量从去年的 128 万桶油当量/日增至 132 万桶油当量/日。

然而，本季度其液体原油实现价格从去年的每桶 94.38 美元跌至每桶 76.11 美元。

根据 Refinitiv 的数据，该公司调整后每股收益为 1.69 加元，略低于预期的 1.70 加元。

Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. narrowly missed analysts' estimates for first-quarter profit on May 4, as lower energy prices more than offset a rise in production for the country's largest oil and gas producer.

Crude oil prices eased 20% year-over-year during the January to March period, from multi-year highs in the same period last year following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Moreover, the recent U.S. banking crisis and concerns over the pace of recovery in China have weighed on crude prices in the first three months of 2023.

Canadian Natural's production rose to 1.32 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) in the reported quarter, from 1.28 million boe/d last year.

However, its liquids realized price fell to $76.11 per barrel in the quarter from last year's $94.38 per barrel.

The company earned C$1.69 per share, on an adjusted basis, slightly missing estimates of C$1.70, according to Refinitiv data.
