英国石油公司利润飙升至五年来最高水平

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社伦敦报道，英国石油公司BP周二报道，公司第三季度利润增长了一倍以上，原因是同期油价上涨达到4年来的最高水平，以及新油田产量的增加。

BP公布了第三季度潜在的替代成本利润（公司对净收入的定义）为38亿美元，远远超过了公司提供的一份分析师调查中预测的28.5亿美元。而去年同期的利润为18.6亿美元，2018年第二季度为28亿美元。

首席执行官Bob Dudley在一份声明中表示：“英国石油公司的业务运作良好，通过高效的项目执行，我们正在加快生产新的、利润率更高的原油。”

Energy firm BP profits soar to five-year high

BP reported on Tuesday that profits had more than doubled in the third quarter, boosted by stronger oil prices that hit a four-year high in the period and as production rose thanks to new fields.

BP reported third-quarter underlying replacement cost profit, the company’s definition of net income, of $3.8 billion, far exceeding forecasts of $2.85 billion based on a company-provided survey of analysts. That compared with a profit of $1.86 billion a year earlier and $2.8 billion in the second quarter of 2018.

“Operations are running well across BP and we’re bringing new, higher-margin barrels into production faster through efficient project execution,” Chief Executive Officer Bob Dudley said in a statement.
