据油价网7月31日消息称，沙特阿美生产基础油的子公司Luberef报告称，尽管收入大幅下降，但今年第二季度的利润增长了3.9%。
据《福布斯》报道，该公司在沙特证券交易所的一份声明中公布了这些数据，并将利润增长归因于税收调整，这减少了公司的开支，提高了利润率。
该公司公布，今年第二季度的销售额为6.931亿美元，低于去年同期的8.797亿美元。利润为1.213亿美元。
Luberef去年上市，发行额接近30%即5000多万股。据《国家报》报道，该公司在首次公开募股中筹集了13.2亿美元。
沙特阿美拥有这家生产基础油公司70%的股份。另外30%被当地投资银行Jadwa收购。Luberef在沙特阿拉伯有两个生产设施，年生产能力为130万吨基础油。
由于国际市场油价下跌，母公司沙特阿美今年的利润有所下降。沙特阿美公司将于下月公布第二季度业绩。与大型石油巨头一样，沙特阿美公布的第一季度净收益较低，原因是需求下降和油价下跌。
但沙特阿美公司第一季度的净收益仍然令人印象深刻，达到319亿美元，但低于去年同期的395亿美元。路透社当时指出，这仍高于分析师的预期。
沙特阿美一直在积极扩大其下游业务，以确保其原油生产的长期需求。该公司最近与巴基斯坦签署了一项新的炼油厂协议，最终收购了一家亚洲石化生产商的股份，并与道达尔能源公司达成了一项价值110亿美元的石化交易。

Saudi Aramco Subsidiary Sees Profits Climb In Q2
Luberef, a subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, reported a 3.9% higher profit for the second quarter of the year despite a sizeable decline in revenues.
The company, which reported the figures in a statement for the Saudi stock exchange, attributed the increase in profit to tax adjustments that reduced its expenses and higher crack margins, Forbes reported.
The company reported $693.1 million in sales for the second quarter of the year, down from $879.7 million a year earlier. Profits stood at $121.3 million.
Luberef was listed last year, floating close to 30% of its capital or just over 50 million shares. The company raised $1.32 billion in its initial public offering, The National reported.
Aramco has a 70% interest in the company that produces base oils. The other 30% was bought by local investment bank Jadwa. Luberef has two production facilities in Saudi Arabia with a combined annual capacity of 1.3 million tons of base oils.
The parent company, which will be reporting second-quarter results next month, has seen its profits decline this year because of lower oil prices on international markets. Like the Big Oil majors, Aramco reported a lower net result for the first quarter, citing lower demand and lower prices.
The net result for the parent company in the first quarter was still impressive at $31.9 billion but lower than the $39.5 billion a year earlier. It was still higher than analyst expectations, Reuters noted at the time.
Aramco has been actively expanding its downstream operations, seeking to guarantee long-term demand for its crude oil production. The company recently inked a new refinery deal with Pakistan, finalized the purchase of a stake in an Asian petrochemical producer, and sealed an $11-billion petrochemical deal with TotalEnergies.
