據ICIS-MRC網站10月9日莫斯科報道，據《化工周刊》報道，總部位于維也納的奧地利石油天然氣集團（OMV）表示，截至9月30日的第三季度，其石化產品凈利潤率同比下降15%，煉油利潤率指數同比下降84%。

在將于10月29日發布公司第三季度業績之前的交易更新中，OMV表示，其乙烯/丙烯的凈利潤從去年同期的441歐元/噸下降至375歐元/噸（合441美元/噸）。 第三季度石化產品利潤率也從今年第二季度的393歐元/噸下降。 該公司以石腦油為原料，根據西歐合約價格計算石化產品的凈利潤。

OMV的煉油利潤指標從去年同期的5.46美元/桶驟降至本季度的0.87美元/桶，也遠遠低于第二季度的2.26美元/桶。該公司第三季度的煉油產能利用率平均為90%，同比下降6%，但高于今年第二季度的79%。

正如MRC早些時候所告知的，根據OMV首席執行官今年5月的聲明，該公司認為，由于沙特阿拉伯等生產商增加了燃料需求和減產，今年下半年油價有望復蘇。

OMV petchem margin declines, refining margins tank

OMV (Vienna, Austria) says its petrochemical net margin declined 15% year on year (YOY) in the third quarter ended 30 September, while its refining margin indicator plunged 84% YOY, reported Chemweek.

In a trading update ahead of the company’s third-quarter results, due to be released on 29 October, OMV says its ethylene/propylene net margin fell to EUR375/metric ton (USD441/metric ton) from EUR441/metric ton a year earlier. The third-quarter petchem margin is also down from EUR393/metric ton in the second quarter of this year. The company calculates the petchem net margin based on West European contract prices, with naphtha as the feedstock.

OMV’s refining margin indicator collapsed to USD0.87/barrel (bbl) in the quarter from USD5.46/bbl in the prior-year period, and is also down substantially from the second-quarter figure of USD2.26/bbl. The company’s refinery capacity utilization rate averaged 90% in the third quarter, a decline of 6% from a year earlier but up from 79% in the second quarter of this year.

As MRC informed earlier, Austrian energy group OMV sees hope for a recovery in oil prices in the second half of 2020 helped by increased fuel demand and output cuts by producers such as Saudi Arabia, according to its chief executive's statement in May 2020.
