據ICIS-MRC網站5月11日莫斯科報道，根據路透社報道，受油價上漲影響，國有石油生產商沙特阿美（Saudi Aramco）第一季度凈利潤增長30%，超過分析師預期。

　　埃克森美孚（Exxon Mobil）等全球能源公司的收益在原油價格上漲的支撐下攀升，今年原油價格上漲了約三分之一，由于燃料需求從這場大流行中復蘇，全球原油盈余減少。

　　這家全球最大石油出口商的首席執行官阿明·納賽爾(Amin Nasser)在一份聲明中表示，鑒于2021年能源需求的積極跡象，我們有更多理由樂觀地認為，好日子即將到來。盡管仍存在一些不利因素，但隨著經濟開始復蘇，我們完全有能力滿足世界日益增長的能源需求。

　　截至3月31日的季度凈收入從去年同期的167億美元上升到217億美元。根據5位分析師的平均估計，沙特阿美預計凈利潤為194.8億美元。

　　沙特阿美公司于2019年上市，主要向沙特公共機構和地區機構出售了1.7%的股份。該公司表示，利潤受到原油價格上漲和煉油和化工品利潤率提高的提振，有助于抵消產量下降的影響。

　　作為該協議的一部分，以及沙特阿拉伯額外自愿減產的結果，沙特阿美減少了產量。該公司表示，全球對石油產品的需求正在從2020年的低點恢復，但仍低于疫情前的水平。

　　Saudi Aramco beats quarterly profit forecast with 30% rise in Q1 2021 earnings

　　State-run oil producer Saudi Aramco beat analysts' forecasts with a 30% rise in first-quarter net profit, helped by strong oil prices, reported Reuters.

　　Earnings by global energy companies such as Exxon Mobil have climbed on the back of rising crude prices, which are up by about a third this year, as fuel demand recovers from the pandemic and as a global surplus of crude shrinks.

　　"Given the positive signs for energy demand in 2021, there are more reasons to be optimistic that better days are coming," Amin Nasser, chief executive of the world's top oil exporter, said in a statement.

　　"And while some headwinds still remain, we are well-positioned to meet the world's growing energy needs as economies start to recover," he said.

　　Net income rose to USD21.7 billion for the quarter to March 31 from USD16.7 billion a year earlier. Aramco was expected to post net profit of USD19.48 billion, according to an average of estimates by five analysts.

　　Aramco, which listed in 2019 with the sale of a 1.7% stake mainly to the Saudi public and regional institutions, said earnings were boosted by stronger crude prices and higher refining and chemicals margins, helping offset lower production.

　　Aramco, which reduced its output as part of that pact and as a result of Saudi Arabia's additional voluntary production cuts, said global demand for petroleum products was recovering from its lows in 2020 but remained below pre-pandemic levels.
