据悉,沙特阿美和住友化学的合资企业拉比格炼化公司周三报告今年第三季度公司出现严重亏损。截至9月30日的今年第三季度公司出现4.6亿沙特里亚尔(1.227亿美元)的净亏损,而去年第三季度公司实现净利润2.94亿里亚尔,今年二季度公司实现5.05亿里亚尔的净利润。 三季度公司出现4.63亿里亚尔的营业亏损,上年同期公司实现营业利润3.06亿里亚尔。
拉比格炼化公司表示,石化产品毛利的下降、原油价格的持续下跌、产品销售量的下降以及公司建立库存以应对四季度公司将完全关闭装置进行检修的情况是导致三季度出现大幅亏损的主要原因。
今年1-9月,拉比格炼化公司净利润同比下挫72%至2.5亿里亚尔。

Petro Rabigh (Rabigh, Saudi Arabia), a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical, on Wednesday announced major third-quarter losses. The company incurred a net loss of 460 million Saudi riyals ($122.7 million) in the three months ended 30 September compared with a net profit of SR294 million in the year-earlier quarter and SR505 million net profit in the second quarter of this year. The company reported an operating loss of SR463 million in the third quarter compared with an operating profit of SR306 million in the third quarter of 2014. Sales were not disclosed.
Petro Rabigh cites lower petrochemical products margins, continuous decline in crude oil prices, reduced tonnage taken by its marketers as well as its buildup of inventories in anticipation of the complete shutdown of the complex during the fourth quarter.
Petro Rabigh’s net profit in the first nine months of this year declined by 72% to SR250 million.
