賺錢如流水：中石油每秒收入三萬元

　　PetroChina Company Limited (PetroChina)， China's largest oil and gas producer, said Thursday that its net profit rose 5.8 percent year on year in the first quarter。

　　The company's net profit totaled 39.15 billion yuan ($6.23 billion) in the first three months and earnings per share gained 5.8 percent to 0.21 yuan based on international financial reporting standards (IFRS)， the company said in a statement filed with the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges。

　　The statement said PetroChina concentrated on its main businesses amid changing economic landscapes both at home and abroad。

　　The output of crude oil and natural gas rose 3.6 percent and 11.2 percent year on year, respectively, in the first quarter, according to the statement。

　　Meanwhile, the company processed 257.1 million barrels of crude oil during the period, up 2.8 percent from a year earlier。

　　Due to high-flying international oil prices, the company reported 10.82 billion yuan in losses in its refining and chemical business areas, marking a slight improvement from the fourth quarter last year as China raised fuel prices two times in the first quarter。

　　The company sold 36.5 million tons of gasoline, diesel and kerosene during the period, an increase of 15.5 percent from a year earlier。

　　PetroChina is the Hong Kong- and Shanghai-listed subsidiary of the China National Petroleum Corporation。

　　中石油作為國內的石油巨頭，今年不負眾望，第一季度以391.5億元凈利潤傲視群雄，秒賺3萬，成為最賺錢的公司之一。中石油稱，第一季度其石油和天然氣的產量分別有3.6%的11.2%的增長。但是由于國際油價的不斷走高，中石油稱其在煉油和化工領域虧損了108.2億元。
