據(jù)8月8日MENAFN消息：能源巨頭沙特阿美表示，由于油價(jià)上漲，其2021年第二季度利潤(rùn)較去年同期增長(zhǎng)近四倍。

　　沙特阿美表示，由于石油市場(chǎng)更強(qiáng)勁、煉油和化學(xué)品利潤(rùn)率更高，以及新冠疫情限制的放松，該公司今年第二季度的凈利潤(rùn)增至255億美元，高于2020年同期的66億美元。

　　沙特阿美首席執(zhí)行官Amin Nasser在一份聲明中表示：“我們第二季度的業(yè)績(jī)反映了全球能源需求的強(qiáng)勁反彈，隨著全球復(fù)蘇勢(shì)頭增強(qiáng)，我們將更具彈性和靈活性地進(jìn)入2021年下半年。”。

　　大約兩個(gè)月前，該公司宣布首次發(fā)行以美元計(jì)價(jià)的伊斯蘭債券，籌資60億美元。今年早些時(shí)候，該公司公布第一季度利潤(rùn)躍升30%。

　　由于沙特阿拉伯去年受到新冠肺炎疫情引發(fā)的低價(jià)和減產(chǎn)的雙重打擊，該公司的債務(wù)攀升。

　　Saudi Aramco Q2 profits nearly quadruple compared to 2020

　　Energy giant Saudi Aramco said Sunday its second quarter profits for 2021 had nearly quadrupled compared to the same period last year on the back of higher oil prices.

　　Aramco said its net profit rose to $25.5 billion in the second quarter of the year, compared to $6.6 billion in the same quarter of 2020, owing to a stronger oil market and higher refining and chemicals margins, and with the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.

　　"Our second quarter results reflect a strong rebound in worldwide energy demand and we are heading into the second half of 2021 more resilient and more flexible, as the global recovery gains momentum," Aramco chief executive Amin Nasser said in a statement.

　　The announcement comes approximately two months after the company said it raised $6 billion from its first dollar-denominated Islamic bond sale, posting earlier this year a 30 percent jump in first quarter profits.

　　Aramco -- the kingdom's cash cow -- posted a 44.4 percent slump in 2020 net profit, piling pressure on government finances as Riyadh pursues its multi-billion dollar projects to diversify the economy.

　　The company's debt has climbed as Saudi Arabia was hammered last year by the double whammy of low prices and sharp cuts in production triggered by the coronavirus pandemic.

　　The world's leading oil producers agreed last month to continue to modestly boost output from August reaching a compromise after the United Arab Emirates blocked a deal.

　　An OPEC+ meeting decided to raise output by 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) each month from August to help fuel a global economic recovery as the pandemic eases.
