据海外媒体5月20日波哥大报道,哥伦比亚国营石油生产商哥伦比亚国家石油公司首席执行官Juan Carlos Echeverry19日在波哥大向国会委员会表示,由于油价暴跌,哥国油今年的利润将很可能比去年减少一半。
Echeverry说,哥国油去年收入7.5万亿比索(30.2亿美元),比2013年下降了43%,这意味着哥国油今年的净收益将在大约15亿美元。
哥国油第一季度利润比去年同期下降96%,这表明Echeverry预计利润在今后的几个季度内将增加。
油价自3月中旬以来在5月19日前已上涨了26%至每桶57美元。
Echeverry预计哥国油今年收入将达到42万亿比索,但他没有具体说明。

Ecopetrol CEO Expects 2015 Profits To Fall By Half
BOGOTA, May 20- Ecopetrol, Colombia's state-run oil producer, will likely see profits halve this year over last, Chief Executive Officer Juan Carlos Echeverry said on Tuesday, due to a plunge in oil prices.
The company earned 7.5 trillion pesos ($3.02 billion) in 2014, already a 43 percent decline versus the year before that, meaning net earnings this year would be around $1.5 billion, according to Echeverry's comments to a Congressional commission.
Profits in the first quarter of 2015 were down 96 percent from a year earlier, which suggests Echeverry expects results to improve in the coming quarters.
Oil prices have risen 26 percent since mid-March to $57 per barrel by Tuesday.
Echeverry estimated the company's 2015 revenue at 42 trillion pesos, without specifying further.
