STATE-OWNED PetroChina says third-quarter profit rose by a fifth as it benefited from fuel price reforms that lifted refining margins at Asia's biggest oil producer.
The Beijing-based company, which operates more than 20,000 petrol service stations in China, said reforms earlier this year allowed politically sensitive fuel prices to more closely track rises in international prices. That contributed to better results at its refining and natural gas businesses.
PetroChina Co said on Tuesday profit in the July-September period rose 19 per cent to 29.8 billion yuan ($A5.13 billion) over the year before.
Revenue rose 5.5 per cent to 581.7 billion yuan.
Losses at the refining and chemicals division shrank to 20 billion yuan in the January- September period, nearly half the loss in the same period last year, which was "a result of taking advantage of the newly promulgated pricing mechanism for refined products", chairman Zhou Jiping said in a statement.
China's price controls are aimed at keeping politically sensitive inflation in check.
Income at PetroChina's natural gas business jumped 26-fold to 23.4 billion yuan for similar reasons. Authorities allowed suppliers to raise prices in July by 15 per cent.
Crude oil output rose 2.2 per cent to 698 million barrels in the first nine months of 2013, but the exploration and production division's profit fell 10 per cent to 147 billion yuan on higher costs and a 3.6 per cent drop in the average selling price for crude.
