Demand pull is outrunning the plan for one still-small offering, and the company is visibly re-pointing itself at it
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2018 call → NO我们根据提供的电话会议记录,判断管理层是否描述了一个可识别的、目前仍占公司整体业绩较小部分的主动举措,并且同时满足两个条件:(1) 客户反应超出公司准备;(2) 公司正在通过增加投入来应对。 在记录中,管理层提到了多个项目,如圭亚那、巴西、二叠纪、LNG等。但我们需要寻找一个具体的、较小的主动举措,其客户反应超出预期,且公司正在扩大投入。 检查记录:管理层提到“Permian production up 45% in the first quarter this year”,但这是主要业务的一部分。提到“tight oil production in the Permian and Bakken”增长,但这是公司整体增长的一部分。 更具体地,管理层提到“We've executed multiple contracts that will enhance pipeline capacity from the Permian to the Gulf Coast. We have more than secured liquids evacuation capacity to support growth through 2022.” 这似乎是应对增长,但未明确说客户反应超出准备。 另一个可能:在化学品方面,提到“we've begun the operations of our 1.5 million-ton ethane cracker at Baytown”和“the associated 1.3 million tons of polyethylene facilities... are already in operation... operating at full rates, in other words, at capacity.” 这表示新设施已满负荷运行,但这是新产能投产,并非客户反应超出准备。 管理层还提到“In the quarter, we reached agreements with Sonatrach for the sale of the 200KBD Augusta refinery”等,但这是资产出售。 关键点:是否有任何主动举措,其客户需求超出公司准备,且公司正在扩大投入?在记录中,管理层提到“We're actively expanding the wind terminal”和“we've secured offtake for associated gas through 2020”等,但这些都是支持性基础设施。 更仔细地看,管理层提到“We have no concerns about evacuation capacity, both in gas and liquids for our Permian business.” 这似乎表明他们已准备好。 在圭亚那,管理层提到“We're currently making plans to add a second exploration vessel offshore Guyana”和“The collective discoveries on the block to date have established the potential for now up to 5 FPSOs”等,但这是勘探和开发计划,并非客户反应。 在LNG方面,提到“we continue to make great progress in Mozambique”等,但未提及需求超出准备。 也许在化学品方面,提到“we've completed the startup of our 230,000-ton Singapore Specialties”等,但未提及需求超出。 另一个可能:在润滑油方面,提到“record quarterly Mobil 1 sales in the U.S. and China”和“we've purchased FKT”等,但这是销售增长,并非需求超出准备。 管理层还提到“In the fuels business, in the quarter, we reached agreements with Sonatrach for the sale of the 200KBD Augusta refinery”等,但这是出售。 似乎没有明确描述一个较小的主动举措,其客户反应超出准备且公司正在扩大投入。所有提到的增长都是公司主要业务的一部分,或者只是计划。 因此,答案应为NO。
