原标题：因油价上涨 菲律宾国油上半年获得净利润

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站8月3日消息 由于油价上涨和需求改善，菲律宾炼油商菲律宾国家石油公司在2021年上半年实现了净利润。

　　然而，该公司周二表示，2021年1-6月的总销量同比下降7%，原因是市场继续受到疫情的影响。

　　该公司表示：“尽管区域炼油利润率仍然受到抑制，但随着原油价格稳步回升，该国唯一的炼油公司菲律宾国家石油公司恢复了其巴丹炼油厂的运营。”

　　该公司补充道：“在需求增加的背景下，石化产品的价格也出现了显著的改善。”

　　菲律宾国家石油公司决定不按计划无限期关闭其位于巴丹利迈的18万桶/日炼油厂。

　　菲律宾国家石油公司总裁兼首席执行官Ramon Ang表示：“尽管我们继续面临一些挑战，但今年我们已经看到了巨大的进步。需求的增加和国际价格的持续改善表明，我们正在缓慢但肯定地恢复作为一个行业的失地。”

　　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.
