"Goldman Sachs didn't advise or execute the transaction category and transaction amounts associated with Sinopec or its affiliates," said a spokesman with the company in Beijing on Monday, according to Beijing Youth Daily.

Unipec had suffered billions of dollars in losses after bought up 30-70 million barrels of oil futures at the price of $70 plus a barrel under the consultation of the US investment bank, The Beijing News reported on Thursday.

Sinopec is evaluating the details related to certain crude oil transactions that have incurred some losses, the Chinese State oil company said on Thursday after its shares had suffered plunges.
