沙特基础工业公司三季度净利润大幅增长

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站10月26日消息 沙特基础工业公司（SABIC）周日表示，由于产量和销售量的提高以及产品价格上涨，沙特基础工业公司第三季度净利润上升。

　　该公司在沙特交易所Tadawul提交的文件中称，该公司第三季度净利润也受到减值修正逆转的支撑。

　　沙特基础工业公司副主席兼首席执行官Yousef Al-Benyan在另一份声明中表示：“2020年第三季度受益于经济活动的改善和石油价格的上涨，这转化为更高的产品价格。”

　　沙特基础工业公司表示，第三季度，沙特基础工业公司作为沙特阿美石油的化工部门，开始了其调整的实施阶段，为实现长期增长做出了良好的定位。

　　沙特阿美今年6月完成了691亿美元收购沙特石油化工巨头沙特基础工业公司70%的股权。

　　沙特阿美早些时候表示，在冠状病毒大流行期间油价暴跌导致上半年盈利大幅下滑后，沙特阿美今年继续控制资本支出。

　　沙特阿美和沙特基础工业公司本月早些时候表示，他们正在考虑将沙特阿拉伯延布现有炼油厂与世界级规模的混合进料蒸汽裂解装置和下游烯烃衍生物装置进行整合，作为其计划中的油化工项目的一部分。

　　沙特基础工业公司在10月18日提交的一份文件中称，正在重新评估原项目的范围，以便在评估最佳技术方案和市场风险的同时实现经济价值最大化。

　　SABIC Q3 net profit surges on higher product prices, sales volumes

　　SABIC's third-quarter net profit rose on the back of higher product prices amid improved production and sales volumes, the chemicals giant said on Sunday.

　　The company's third-quarter net profit was also supported by the reversal of impairment revisions, it said in a filing on the Saudi bourse, Tadawul.

　　"The third quarter of 2020 benefited from an improvement in economic activity and an increase in oil price, which translated into higher product prices," SABIC vice chairman and CEO Yousef Al-Benyan said in a separate statement.

　　The third quarter also saw SABIC commence the implementation phase of its alignment as the chemical arm of Saudi Aramco, "positioning it well to achieve long-term growth", the company said.

　　Saudi Aramco in June this year completed the $69.1bn acquisition of a 70% stake in Saudi petrochemical major SABIC.

　　Saudi Aramco earlier said that it continue to rein in capital spending this year following a plunge in first-half earnings caused by slumping oil prices amid the coronavirus pandemic.

　　Saudi Aramco and SABIC earlier this month said that they are now looking at integrating existing refineries in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia with a world-scale mixed feed steam cracker and downstream olefin derivative units, as part of their planned oil-to-chemicals project.

　　The scope of the original project is being re-assessed “to maximize the economic value while evaluating the optimal technical options and market risks", SABIC said in a filing Tadawul, on 18 October.
