據能源經濟4月24日消息稱，截至2021年3月，信實工業有限公司第四季度利潤環比增長9%，石化部門推動石油化工(O2C)業務連續增長15%。

　　高盛證券研究公司在一份報告中說：“由于美國烯烴和乙烯基鏈的中斷以及聚酯鏈需求趨勢的改善，石化產品價格在21財年第4季度急劇上漲。”

　　它補充說，鑒于其沿海業務，該公司預計將從美國和歐洲化工產品較高的保費中受益。

　　RIL的O2C業務利息、稅項、折舊及攤銷前利潤(EBITDA)可能從21財年的51億美元增加到2021-22財年的91億美元。

　　增長的動力可能來自2021年美國石油供應中斷和油價上漲導致石化產品價格持續走強的推動，以及隨著疫苗接種增加和刺激計劃引導的資本支出，對柴油和噴氣式飛機的需求有所改善，2021年下半年煉油利潤率大幅上升。

　　該研究公司預計，RIL的O2C業務每桶EBITDA從2020-21年的每桶10美元提高到2021-22年的每桶18美元。

　　Petrochemicals to drive RIL growth in fourth quarter

　　Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) could see its earnings grow 9 per cent in the fourth quarter ended March 2021 on a quarter-on-quarter basis, led by the petrochemical segment driving 15 per cent sequential growth for the Oil to Chemicals (O2C) business.

　　"Petrochemical prices have risen sharply in 4QFY21, driven by disruptions in the US for olefins and vinyl chain and improving demand trends for the polyester chain," Goldman Sachs Equity Research said in a report.

　　It added that the firm is expected to benefit from higher premiums for chemical products in the US and Europe given its coastal operations.

　　RIL’s O2C business Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) could increase from $5.1 billion in FY21 to $9.1 billion in 2021-22.

　　The growth is likely to be driven by sustainable petrochemicals price strength in 2021 from disruptions in the US and higher oil prices, and sharp pick-up in refining margins in the second half of 2021 as demand for diesel and jet improves in the wake of increased vaccinations and stimulus-led capex.

　　The research firm expects RIL’s O2C business EBITDA per bbl to improve from $10 per barrel in 2020-21 to $18 per barrel in 2021-22.?
