據OE網站7月29日報道，墨西哥國有石油公司Pemex首席執行官羅梅羅告訴路透稱，該公司預計今年將實現罕見的年度利潤，已連續兩個季度實現盈利，新油田的原油產量將有所提振。

如果能夠實現，這將是墨西哥國家石油公司10多年來首次實現年度盈利。歷史上最高的稅單和煉油部門的巨額虧損使該公司多年來一直處于虧損狀態。

周四早些時候，這家墨西哥石油巨頭公布第二季度利潤為65億美元，由于油價飆升提振了全球各地的石油公司，同時該公司的稅收大幅減少。

今年上半年，這家國有生產商的利潤總額約為127億美元，而去年同期虧損了230億美元。

羅梅羅周四晚些時候接受采訪時表示，我們對墨西哥國家石油公司的重大決定是，在如此糟糕、不利的形勢下投資，并繼續投資。他指的是前幾年油價低得多的時候。

第二季度，墨西哥原油均價逾105美元/桶。

Pemex是世界上負債最多的石油公司之一。該公司周四向墨西哥證交所提交的一份文件顯示，其金融債務總額為1081億美元。該公司還報告稱，其還欠服務提供商137億美元。

在財報發布后與分析師的電話會議上，羅梅羅提到了主要評級機構穆迪對墨西哥國家石油公司債務的悲觀評估。鑒于該公司潛在的財務問題和沉重的債務負擔，穆迪將該公司的債務評級量化為投機級。

墨國油首席執行官還預計，由于約40個新優先油田即將投產，到今年年底該公司的石油日產量將從目前的170萬桶增至約190萬桶。公司有許多油井即將投產，許多油井將在近期內開啟鉆探。

Mexico's Pemex Expects Rare Annual Profit

Mexican state oil company Pemex expects to post a rare annual profit this year, with two consecutive quarters already in the black and a boost to crude output from new fields, Chief Executive Octavio Romero told Reuters.

If achieved, it will be Pemex's first annual profit in more than a decade. A historically high tax bill and massive losses from its refining unit have kept it in the red for years.

Earlier on Thursday, the Mexican oil giant reported a second-quarter profit of $6.5 billion, powered by surging prices that have lifted oil companies across the globe and a significant reduction in its tax bill.

For the first half, the state-owned producer's profits have totaled some $12.7 billion, compared with $23 billion in losses during the same period last year.

"Our big decision at Pemex was to invest and keep investing during such an ugly, adverse situation," Romero said in an interview later on Thursday, referring to previous years when oil prices were much lower.

Prices for Mexican crude oil averaged more than $105 per barrel in the second quarter.

Pemex, one of the world's most indebted oil companies, reported total financial debt of $108.1 billion in a filing with Mexico's stock exchange on Thursday. The company also reported that it owed a further $13.7 billion to service providers.

In a call with analysts after the profit report, Romero called out major ratings agency Moody's, suggesting it revisit its downbeat assessment of Pemex debt, which it quantifies as speculative grade due to the company's underlying financial problems and heavy debt load.

The Pemex chief added that he expected the company's oil output to rise to about 1.9 million barrels per day (bpd) by the end of this year from 1.7 million bpd currently, thanks to imminent production from roughly 40 new priority fields.

"We have many wells that are about to come online, and many wells that will be drilled in the near-term."
