PetroChina
Beijing - Arab Today

PetroChina Co. Ltd, the country’s largest oil and gas producer, reported sharply lower profits for the first half of the year, hit by slowing demand growth for refined products as well as weak crude oil and natural gas prices.
Faced with the worst downturn in the oil sector in a generation, the state-owned company said profit attributable to its owners plunged to 531 million yuan ($79.8 million), from 25.4 billion yuan in the same period last year.
While demand growth in the world’s second-largest oil user slows, competition heated up from the country’s independent oil refineries known as “teapots” ushered into the market about a year ago, forcing state companies to cut refinery production.
PetroChina said its refinery throughput from January to June fell 2.5 percent on the year. Output of key refined fuels fell 6.5 percent, led by diesel, which sank 15 percent.
Low oil prices also led PetroChina to cut production at high-cost domestic fields, with first-half crude output at home down 4.2 percent versus a year earlier.
Its natural gas import business was hit by weaker domestic prices and slowing demand, recording a net loss of 8.006 billion yuan, including pipeline gas from Central Asia and Myanmar as well as global purchases of liquefied natural gas.
