據Trade Arabia News Service網站10月12日伊斯坦布爾報道，沙特阿拉伯國家石油公司（沙特阿美）首席執行官阿明?納賽爾11日在伊斯坦布爾宣布，沙特阿美計劃在未來的10年里投資3000多億美元來加強其在石油市場上的杰出地位，大規模擴大其常規天然氣產量以及開發非常規天然氣資源。

　　納賽爾是在伊斯坦布爾舉行的世界能源大會上發表上述講話的。納賽爾在題為“擁抱新領域”的演講中說，能源產業目前不僅面臨低油價而且還面臨全球油氣項目投資放緩的挑戰，后者正在收緊供需平衡。

　　納賽爾在講話中警告說，延緩油氣項目估計1萬億美元的投資可能導致供應的短缺。他強調說，盡管世界轉向替代品，然而，石油和天然氣在今后的幾十年里仍將是全球能源結構的核心。

　　納賽爾說：“我們將繼續投資我們的核心油氣項目以及下游和化學項目。我們將繼續保持我們的備用產能來幫助應對不可預見的事件以及幫助減少它們對全球經濟的影響。通過這樣做，我們正在參與加強全球能源安全。”

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
