截至11月末，中海油东方石化有限责任公司(以下简称东方石化)今年累计降本增效突破1亿元，交出了 一份亮眼的成绩单。这份沉甸甸的"硬核答卷"背后，是东方石化在降本增效上的系统布局：从全链条挖 潜到技术攻坚破解生产瓶颈，再到以市场为导向开拓经营新局，多向发力共同铸就了突破亿元的效益成 果。 多点发力 全链条挖掘效益潜力 "降本增效不是单点突破，而是全流程、各部门的协同作战。我们要把每一分能省的钱都省下来，把每 一处能挖的潜力都挖出来。"谈及全链条降本思路，东方石化副总经理余焱冰直言。 今年以来，炼化产品市场波动加剧，融资成本压力较大。东方石化敏锐发现，供应链融资中存在"融资 渠道单一、成本偏高"的优化空间。此前原料采购、运费结算多采用传统转账方式，融资成本率维持在 2.45%左右，资金占用压力较大。 为破解这一难题，计划财务部门牵头组建专项工作组，历时3个月调研梳理，最终锁定票据融资这一核 心抓手。团队逐一对接中远海运、南方电网等6家核心合作企业，协商拓展低利率票据结算场景，将银 行承兑汇票用于蒸汽款、运费、电费等高频支出;对比12家商业银行贴现利率，选择最优合作方，部分 票据融资成本率低至0.5%。此外，他们还 ...

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that asphalt prices have been experiencing a downward trend since August, influenced by various factors, and the current production profits remain relatively high, indicating potential further declines in spot prices [1][6]. - International crude oil prices have been declining since August, with major crude futures prices dropping by $5.69 and $5.30 per barrel, representing declines of 7.85% and 8.74% respectively, which negatively impacts asphalt costs [1][3]. - As of August 20, the national average price of asphalt was 3789.43 yuan per ton, down 69.57 yuan per ton or 1.80% from the end of July, with Shandong's average price at 3660 yuan per ton, down 195 yuan per ton or 5.06% [1][3]. Group 2 - Despite the decline in asphalt prices, the production profitability has seen limited decreases, with theoretical profits for various refineries showing mixed results; for instance, Shandong's refineries reported a profit of -367.02 yuan per ton, down 20.83 yuan per ton, while Jiangsu's main refineries reported a profit of 548.16 yuan per ton, up 58.85 yuan per ton [3][5]. - The overall production income for asphalt has decreased by 3.96%, but this is significantly lower than the 12.57% drop in raw material costs, indicating that other products' smaller declines have mitigated the impact of falling asphalt prices on refining revenues [3][5]. - The market outlook suggests that downstream demand for asphalt remains weak, with slow inventory depletion and a pessimistic outlook on demand, while refinery production remains high, indicating a potentially oversupplied market [5][6].
