據ICIS網站8月3日消息 由于油價上漲和需求改善，菲律賓煉油商菲律賓國家石油公司在2021年上半年實現了凈利潤。

　　然而，該公司周二表示，2021年1-6月的總銷量同比下降7%，原因是市場繼續受到疫情的影響。

　　該公司表示：“盡管區域煉油利潤率仍然受到抑制，但隨著原油價格穩步回升，該國唯一的煉油公司菲律賓國家石油公司恢復了其巴丹煉油廠的運營?！?/p>

　　該公司補充道：“在需求增加的背景下，石化產品的價格也出現了顯著的改善?！?/p>

　　菲律賓國家石油公司決定不按計劃無限期關閉其位于巴丹利邁的18萬桶/日煉油廠。

　　菲律賓國家石油公司總裁兼首席執行官Ramon Ang表示：“盡管我們繼續面臨一些挑戰，但今年我們已經看到了巨大的進步。需求的增加和國際價格的持續改善表明，我們正在緩慢但肯定地恢復作為一個行業的失地。”

　　Philippines' Petron swings to H1 net profit on higher oil prices

　　Philippines' refiner Petron swung into a net profit in the first half of 2021 on the back of higher oil prices and better demand.

　　Overall sales volume in January-June 2021, however, fell 7% year on year as "markets continue to reel from the impact of the pandemic", the company said on Tuesday.

　　"While regional refining margins remained suppressed, Petron - the only oil refining company in the country - resumed operations at its refinery in Bataan as crude prices steadily recover," it said.

　　"Prices of petrochemical have likewise registered significant improvement on the back of higher demand," the company added.

　　Petron decided not to pursue a planned indefinite closure of its 180,000 bbl/day refinery in Limay, Bataan.

　　“Though we continue to face some challenges, we have seen tremendous progress this year. The increase in demand and continued improvement in international prices indicate that we are slowly but surely regaining lost ground as an industry," Petron president and CEO Ramon Ang said.
