沙特阿美重组油气下游业务

据阿拉伯贸易7月14日消息称，沙特阿美（Aramco）已宣布重组其下游业务，以支持和加强整个油气价值链的整合，更好地推动公司的财务业绩、价值创造和全球增长。

该公司的下游运营模式将包括四个商业业务部门:燃料(包括炼油、贸易、零售和润滑油);化学品；电力; 以及管道、分销和终端。这些业务部门将得到三个公司职能的支持：制造、战略、市场营销和子公司事务。

此次重组旨在提高沙特阿美现有下游资产的有效性和效率，但并不代表整个业务结构的根本变化。

沙特阿美下游高级副总裁Abdulaziz M Al Gudaimi表示：“我很高兴我们将推出一种新的运营模式，我们相信这将有助于简化我们的运营，巩固我们作为全球主要能源和石化企业的地位。此次重组是沙特阿美发展全球一体化下游业务战略的又一步骤，该业务通过最大限度地利用油气价值链来提高我们的竞争力。”

重组预计将于年底完成，进一步加强了沙特阿美在安全、可持续性、效率和可靠性方面的行业领导地位。

沙特阿美拥有规模庞大、战略整合的全球下游业务，这充分利用了该公司具有竞争力的上游地位。该公司的下游战略着眼于在整个油气链上创造增长机会，以扩大公司的收入来源，为石油价格波动提供弹性，并充分应对石化产品日益增长的需求。

Aramco to reorganise downstream business

The Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco) has announced the reorganization of its downstream business to support and enhance integration across the hydrocarbon value chain and better position the company to drive financial performance, value creation and global growth.

The company’s downstream operating model will include four commercial business units: Fuels (includes Refining, Trading, Retail and Lubes); Chemicals; Power; and Pipelines, Distribution & Terminals. These business units will be supported by three corporate functions: Manufacturing, Strategy & Marketing and Affiliates Affairs.

This reorganization is designed to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Aramco's existing downstream assets, but does not represent a fundamental change in the overall business structure.

Abdulaziz M Al Gudaimi, Senior Vice President of Aramco downstream, said: “I am excited that we are launching a new operating model that we believe will help streamline our operations and reinforce our position as a major global energy and petrochemicals player. This reorganization is yet another step in Aramco’s strategy to develop a global integrated downstream business that enhances our competitiveness by maximizing our value capture across the hydrocarbon value chain.”

The reorganization, which is expected to be in place by the end of the year, further strengthens Aramco’s industry leadership in safety, sustainability, efficiency and reliability.

Aramco has a large, strategically integrated global downstream business that leverages the Company’s competitive upstream position. The company’s downstream strategy focuses on creating growth opportunities across the hydrocarbon chain in order to expand the Company’s sources of earnings, providing resilience to oil price volatility and capitalizing on rising demand for petrochemical products.
