中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯伦敦2月7日消息,因为低油价继续给全球大型石油公司的利润带来压力,英国石油公司(BP)周二公布连续第二年发生年度亏损。
总部位于伦敦的BP称,2016年公司重置成本亏损(相当于美国石油公司的净利润指标)从2015年的52亿美元收窄至9.99亿美元。第四季度实现利润7200万美元,上年同期为亏损22亿美元。
全球石油巨头们仍在艰难应对持续数年的油价下滑,油价下跌对石油公司的利润构成拖累,尽管最近几个月油价小幅上涨。BP是最新一家公布业绩的大型石油公司。此前,雪佛龙公司和埃克森美孚均公布了令人失望的利润报告,荷兰皇家壳牌集团出人意料地公布现金储备大幅增加,但利润疲软。

BP Earnings Fall for Second Consecutive Year
By Sarah Kent
LONDON– BP PLC reported its second consecutive annual loss Tuesday, as weak oil prices continue to weigh on the profits of the world’s biggest oil companies.
London-based BP said its replacement cost loss–a number analogous to the net income that U.S. oil companies report–narrowed to $999 million in 2016, compared with a loss of $5.2 billion a year earlier. The company reported a small profit in the fourth quarter of $72 million, compared with a loss of $2.2 billion in the same period of 2015.
Large global oil companies continue to struggle with a yearslong slide in oil prices that drag on earnings, despite an uptick in the market in recent months. BP’s figures cap a mixed set of results after Chevron Corp. and Exxon Mobil Corp. posted disappointing earnings and Royal Dutch Shell PLC surprised with a cash surge, despite reporting weak profits.
