PetroChina (PTR) 2019 Earnings Down, Warns of Coronavirus Impact

CEO MUSA

Chinese energy giant PetroChina Company Limited reported 2019 earnings of RMB 45,677 million or RMB 0.25 per share compared with RMB 53,030 million or RMB 0.29 in the year-earlier period.

One of China’s big three oil giants, the other two being Sinopec and CNOOC Limited (CEO - Free Report) , PetroChina’s earnings were dragged down by lower commodity prices, weaker downstream results and massive gas import losses.

However, China’s dominant oil and gas producer’s total revenues during the year increased 6% from the 2018 level to RMB 2,516,810 million on higher oil and gas production.
