据路透社8月29日巴士拉报道，随着全球原油价格的回升带动了石油交易活动,英国油田服务提供商Petrofac股份有限公司2018年上半年利润增长20%，尽管该公司表示，要提高油价还有一段路要走。
这一结果预示着，在经历了与2014年油价暴跌相冲突的生产投资中断的艰难时期后，企业将重新聚焦于核心业务。
该公司的主要利润指标升至1.9亿美元，上年同期为1.58亿美元，不包括出售石油资产造成的2.07亿美元亏损，并得益于部分剩余的上游业务扭亏为盈。
该公司首席财务长科克伦(Alastair Cochran)对路透表示，Petrofac将继续执行今年出售8亿美元主要产油资产的计划。
Petrofac股价去年下跌41%，但今年反弹30%，因其首席执行官Ayman Asfari兑现了回归基础的承诺。他得到了自2016年以来油价上涨两倍的帮助。
Petrofac还表示，它已从阿尔及利亚的Sonatrach公司获得价值6亿美元的合同，提供工程、采购和建筑服务。
