However, the cost of crude oil to the company increased from $49.8 per barrel to $73 per barrel between the two periods.

The Asian benchmark Singapore gross refining margin averaged around $6 a barrel during the last quarter.

Pipeline throughput increased to 5.45 mt with a growth of 17% over the corresponding previous quarter last year.
