Oil loss joke

According to news reports, in the first half of 2020, PetroChina lost 30 billion yuan. Of course, this is only the middle and lower reaches of PetroChina, and other businesses are profitable. However, this kind of loss cannot be ignored. From the social situation, the main responsibility should be that the spread of the epidemic has led to a decrease in oil demand, which directly led to a sharp drop in oil prices, causing problems in the middle and lower reaches of the oil industry. From the artificial point of view, it should be that the relevant leaders did not make a good decision and did not stop the loss in time.

1, epidemic spread The biggest problem in 2020 is the COVID-19 epidemic. Many people think that as long as the weather is hot, the virus will disappear naturally, but now it has entered autumn, and the epidemic is still affecting our lives. Needless to say, in the first half of the year, many areas should register carefully and check in and out of the community in the first half of the year. People don't even want to leave home, let alone drive out. There are only some places where public transport can use oil. In the first half of the year, the demand for oil by ordinary users was very low. Although oil is widely used, most of it is family cars. The reduction of user demand directly leads to the inability to sell oil products and the surplus of refined oil products.

2. Oil prices plummeted. No matter what the product is, the price is determined according to the demand. When a thing needs a lot of people and the number is fixed, its price will rise slowly. But when people don't need it, no matter how rare it is, the price can't go up. Oil is a good example. The epidemic has reduced the world's demand for oil, and oil prices can only choose to fall and then fall. With the decrease of international oil price, the oil sales business has a great influence, and it is easy to lose money if the price is low and it cannot be sold.

3. Man-made reasons Oil losses are also caused by man-made reasons. When the epidemic occurs, the oil-related work should be slowed down. If it is not slowed down, it will definitely lead to a surplus of products. Fortunately, only the middle and lower reaches are affected, and the business of other sectors of PetroChina has earned tens of billions. Moreover, the loss is relative, but it is not as serious as it is said.
