套期保值帮助上半年图洛石油亏损低于预期管件

据道琼斯伦敦7月29日消息，英国最大的独立石油勘探商图洛石油公司周三报告，今年上半年公司的亏损额小于预期，主要是对冲交易弥补了油价下跌对公司营业收入的部分影响。

此前公司组织的14位分析师一致预测上半年公司将净亏损7430万美元。

根据图洛石油的数据显示，2014年上半年的税前亏损额为290万美元，主要由于勘探费用的大幅增加造成。图洛石油报告今年上半年公司净亏损6790万美元，而上年同期的净亏损额达到7530万美元。

今年上半年公司的营业收入下降35%至8.196亿美元，而去年同期为接近12.65亿美元，主要是因为油价下跌以及公司出售资产导致产量减少。
