PetroChina's First-Quarter Net Profit Rose on Higher Sales Volume
By Yi Wei Wong
PetroChina Co. said its net profit rose in the first quarter, primarily due to a rise in domestic sales volume for major oil and gas products.
The Chinese oil and gas company reported Friday that its net profit rose to 43.62 billion yuan ($6.30 billion) from CNY38.90 billion a year earlier.
PetroChina said that its revenue was CNY732.47 billion, down from CNY779.37 billion a year ago.
Despite higher domestic sales volume, global oil prices fell during the quarter, it said.
The group's average realized price for crude oil fell 12% to $75.98 a barrel in the period, the company said.
