Sinopec profit rises as pipeline sales top up refining boost

That compares with a mean of 39.9 billion yuan from 19 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. It also booked a 20.56 billion yuan gain from the December sale a 50 per cent stake in a pipeline unit, Sinopec Sichuan-to-East China Gas Pipeline Co. Along with slashing spending, that has helped the Beijing-based company outperform its state-owned rivals despite falling oil prices and declining production. Net income in 2016 rose 44 per cent to 46.7 billion yuan (Dh24.9 billion, $6.8 billion), the company known as Sinopec said in a statement to the Shanghai stock exchange Sunday. It was able to eke out a 637 million yuan net income thanks to bigger income tax credits, cost cutting and a recovery in oil prices.
