通讯员 据能源世界网2月27日墨西哥城市报道，周五墨西哥国家能源巨头墨西哥国家石油公司(Pemex)报告称，由于新冠疫情导致的石油需求下降，该公司2020年亏损约230亿美元。
该公司表示，由于席卷全球的健康危机，去年已面临“历史上最严重的危机”。其将此归咎于“原油和石油产品前所未有的低价格组合”和“燃料消费的急剧下降侵蚀了所有石油公司的现金流”。
墨国油宣布，尽管下半年恢复盈利，但其年度亏损额为481.0亿比索，比2019年增长了38%。收入下滑32%，至9537亿比索。
因新冠疫情停飞客机，引发经济衰退，石油价格首次短暂下跌为负值，墨国油与全球石油公司一道遭受巨大损失。
该公司表示，在有利的货币波动、税收减免和金融工具收益的帮助下，该集团在2020年第四季度的利润为1242亿比索(合59亿美元）。而前一年同期则亏损了1715亿比索。
截止去年9月的三个月内，Pemex扭亏为盈。该公司表示，这是四年多来首次连续两个季度盈利。
该公司表示，2020年，其石油产量实现了“小幅但非常显著的增长”，平均日产量约为170万桶。其债务增至1132亿美元，比2019年底增加了13.9%。

Mexican state oil firm Pemex reports $23 billion loss in 2020
Mexican state energy giant Pemex on Friday reported a loss of around $23 billion in 2020 as it grappled with a slump in oil demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The company said it had faced "the worst crisis in its history" last year due to the health crisis sweeping the planet.
It blamed "the unprecedented combination of low prices for crude oil and petroleum products" and "a steep fall in fuel consumption that eroded the cash flows of all oil companies."
Pemex announced an annual loss of 481.0 billion pesos, an increase of 38 percent compared with 2019, despite returning to profit in the second half of the year.
Revenue slid 32 percent to 953.7 billion pesos.
Pemex joins oil firms worldwide that suffered massive losses as the Covid-19 pandemic grounded passenger jets, sparked an economic slump and caused oil prices to briefly turn negative for the first time.
For the fourth quarter of 2020, the group posted a profit of 124.2 billion pesos ($5.9 billion), helped by favorable currency movements, tax breaks and gains on financial instruments, it said.
That compared with a loss of 171.5 billion pesos in the same period of the previous year.
Pemex, which returned to the black in the three months to September, said it was the first time in more than four years that it had posted two consecutive quarterly profits.
The company said that in 2020 it had achieved a "small but very significant increase" in oil production, which stood at around 1.7 million barrels per day on average.
Pemex said its debt rose to $113.2 billion, an increase of 13.9 percent from the end of 2019.
