沙特阿美计划未来10年投资3千亿美元提高油气产量

　　据Trade Arabia News Service网站10月12日伊斯坦布尔报道，沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）首席执行官阿明?纳赛尔11日在伊斯坦布尔宣布，沙特阿美计划在未来的10年里投资3000多亿美元来加强其在石油市场上的杰出地位，大规模扩大其常规天然气产量以及开发非常规天然气资源。

　　纳赛尔是在伊斯坦布尔举行的世界能源大会上发表上述讲话的。纳赛尔在题为“拥抱新领域”的演讲中说，能源产业目前不仅面临低油价而且还面临全球油气项目投资放缓的挑战，后者正在收紧供需平衡。

　　纳赛尔在讲话中警告说，延缓油气项目估计1万亿美元的投资可能导致供应的短缺。他强调说，尽管世界转向替代品，然而，石油和天然气在今后的几十年里仍将是全球能源结构的核心。

　　纳赛尔说：“我们将继续投资我们的核心油气项目以及下游和化学项目。我们将继续保持我们的备用产能来帮助应对不可预见的事件以及帮助减少它们对全球经济的影响。通过这样做，我们正在参与加强全球能源安全。”

Aramco plans $300bn spend to bolster oil, gas output

October 12, 2016

Istanbul

Saudi Aramco plans to invest more than $300 billion over the coming decade to reinforce its preeminent position in oil, massively expand its conventional gas production, and exploit unconventional gas resources, the companys CEO said.

Speaking at the 23rd World Energy Congress in Istanbul yesterday (October 11), with the theme “Embracing New Frontiers,” Amin H Nasser stated that the energy industry is presently facing challenges, not only because of low oil prices, but because of slowing global investments in oil and gas projects which are tightening the supply-demand balance.

He cautioned that deferred investments estimated at $1 trillion in oil and gas projects may lead to a shortfall in supply, highlighting that oil and gas will remain at the heart of the global energy mix over the next several decades while the world transitions to alternatives.

“We will continue to invest in our core oil and gas projects, and in downstream and chemicals. We are continuing to maintain our spare production capacity to help respond to unforeseen events, and help minimize their potential impact on the global economy. By doing so, we are playing our part in enhancing global energy security,” Nasser said. – TradeArabia News Service
