澳洲Ampol煉油利潤腰斬,受新加坡及全球市場疲軟拖累




澳洲最大燃油零售商Ampol首季煉油利潤大跌49%

澳洲頂尖燃油零售商Ampol週三公布,昆士蘭Lytton煉油廠首季煉油利潤率較去年同期大跌49%,降至每桶6.07美元,去年同期為11.80美元。公司指出,這主要受亞洲市場指標新加坡煉油利潤疲弱影響。

同時,Lytton煉油廠首季產量減少5.7%,至13億公升。產量下跌部分原因是為應對颶風Alfred登陸,煉油廠停產準備長達十日。

煉油業目前正面臨盈利下滑的挑戰,除了經濟增長放緩外,中國電動車市場的快速滲透亦令燃油需求受壓。再者,非洲、中東及亞洲新煉油廠相繼投產,令煉油利潤率面臨進一步壓力。

Ampol表示,若第二季煉油利潤率持續低迷,公司將有資格申請澳洲政府的「燃油安全服務付款」計劃,這將在全球煉油市場疲弱時期為公司提供一定的下行保護。

此外,Ampol在三月時曾透露,受颶風帶來的強風暴雨影響,一個原油儲存罐受損,令公司即時損失增加,亦對煉油利潤率構成壓力。

評論與分析

Ampol煉油利潤大幅下滑,反映出全球煉油業正面對結構性挑戰。經濟增長放緩和電動車普及,直接削弱了傳統燃油需求,這是能源行業長遠轉型的明顯信號。亞洲市場,尤其是中國,作為全球燃油需求的重要驅動力,其電動車滲透率提升意味著煉油廠的市場空間將持續收窄。

同時,新煉油廠陸續投產帶來的產能過剩,進一步壓低了利潤率,形成供過於求的局面。這種情況迫使煉油企業需重新評估其投資策略,或加速向下游成品油銷售及新能源轉型。

Ampol申請政府的「燃油安全服務付款」,顯示出在市場不確定性和利潤波動加劇的環境下,政策支持成為重要的風險緩衝機制。這同時也反映出,政府對燃油供應安全的重視,尤其是在全球能源格局變動及地緣政治風險增加的背景下。

最後,天氣因素如颶風對煉油廠運營影響亦不容忽視,這類自然災害或將成為未來企業風險管理中不可忽略的變數。整體而言,Ampol的情況是全球煉油業轉型壓力的縮影,未來行業發展將取決於如何有效應對新能源競爭與市場結構變化。

Create a sticker set maintaining 100% of the woman's original facial features from the provided image. Do not alter the face, focusing on ultra-realistic details of the facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and expression. The final face must be realistic, not cartoon-like. She has long, voluminous hair.
1. Makeup:Maintain Original Face: We will preserve the structure of your face, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and expression as closely as possible to the original image to maintain naturalness and uniqueness, while adjusting the tone to be softer:

Eyes: Slightly reduce the sharpness of the Cat Eye eyeliner to a thin line close to the lash line for a softer look, while still maintaining eye definition.
Eyeshadow: Use natural tones like light brown, peach, or beige.
Eyebrows: Original shape, but brushed up to look softer and more natural.
Lips: Glossy, pink-tinted, nude-pink, or coral-toned lipstick/tint to make the lips look full and moisturized. Focus on a bright but not overly intense look.
2. Hairstyle:Natural Voluminous Long Hair: Her hair is long and flowing, but the styling will emphasize natural volume and movement. Soft, natural waves.
3. Outfit:

Attire: A white open-back bodysuit paired with distressed, faded blue denim shorts. There is a message "Kunika" on the shirt.
Shoes: Elegant, simple open-toe flat sandals.
Accessories: Styled freely and fittingly for each scene.
4. Poses & Sticker Elements:Poses: Various poses such as waving, jumping, walking playfully, reading a book, holding up a sign, cheering with both hands, stretching, or making a celebratory gesture, to create a cheerful and friendly atmosphere.Decoration: Include elements like small rainbows, sparkling stars, clear bubbles, hearts, balloons, or light-colored dots to decorate and enhance the fun of each sticker scene.Style: Thin black border around the sticker. Use a modern, rounded 'Itim' style font for the text.Text: Add short emotional phrases written in a cute, beautiful script near the sticker (no speech bubbles/text boxes):

"Hello"
"Love you"
"Submitting work"
"Great"
"Got it"
"Thanks!"
"Wait a sec"
"Ready to care"
"Fight"
"Let's do it"
"So cute"
"OK"
"Sweet dreams:
"Get well soon"
"555"
"You're welcome"
"HBD" 
"OMG" 
"Sorry"
"Got a headache" 
Guidelines: Do not include a text box. Ensure balanced composition with sufficient white space—not cluttered. Match the pose to the text.
Emphasis: Reiterate 'maintain 100% of the original face features from the provided image,' 'ultra-realistic facial detail,' and 'professional studio lighting on face (realistic face, not cartoon face).

Use Cantonese in the stickers. Create an image that captures a person working on a laptop while sitting on a wooden beach chair on a sandy beach.
Here are some key details:
Subject: A man uploaded photo wearing a light-colored, long-sleeved shirt open botten (possibly linen or a light denim), dark shorts. He is focused intently on the screen and keyboard of his silver laptop.
Setting: The scene is set on a beach during sunset or sunrise, indicated by the warm, golden light and the long shadows. There is a palm tree towering over the person, and its fronds are visible against the bright sky. The ocean is in the background.
Atmosphere: The overall mood is one of a "digital nomad" or someone enjoying the flexibility of working remotely in a beautiful, relaxed, and warm location. The lighting creates a very aesthetic and aspirational feel.
Foreground Detail: To the left of the chair, there's a wooden crate or small table where a portion of a coconut appears to be resting.
The photo effectively contrasts the intensity of work with the serene, Photorealistic recreation of the iconic grocery shopping scene from Home Alone, set on a snowy winter street in New York City with yellow taxis, steam rising from manholes, holiday lights on buildings, and pedestrians in the background. In the foreground, a man (his face is 100% same as the uploaded photo), smile gently, wearing a white sweater and a light beige scarf around his neck, is taking a selfie-style close-up photo. Behind him and slightly to the right, a young boy (recreated exactly like Kevin McCallister from Home Alone) with short blonde hair, wide-eyed surprised expression, wearing a red knit hat, red scarf, beige coat, gray gloves, holding two full plastic grocery bags (one with oranges visible, the other with a carton of milk and cereal boxes). The boy is standing on the snowy sidewalk looking shocked. Cinematic lighting, cold winter atmosphere, high detail, sharp focus, realistic textures on clothing and snow, film still style from 1990s holiday movie.
