Sinopec Oilfield Service Corporation (SSC, 600871.SH; 01033.HK), a subsidiary of Sinopec Group, Wednesday reported 2.059 billion yuan of losses in the first three quarters of 2015.
The company had 3.38 billion yuan of net cash outflows in Jan.-Sept. due to hike of capital expenditure. Meanwhile, operating revenues fell to 36.58 billion yuan from 62.56 billion yuan in the sales period of 2014 on drop of oil field service workload and spin-off of chemical fiber operations.
The global oilfield service market remained sluggish in the third quarter as domestic and overseas oil companies reduced spending in upstream exploration and development amid low oil prices, the company said earlier.
The company registered 1.38 billion yuan of losses in the first half of 2015. Sinopec Group channel its oilfield service operation into newly built Sinopec Oilfield Service Corporation, which swapped assets with Yizheng Chemical Fiber Co. Ltd. in 2015 and got listed on stock markets.
