沙特阿美公司考虑海上石油扩张

据离岸工程1月15日报道称，沙特阿美公司将继续集中精力进行原油扩张。该公司在海上油田Marjan、Zuluf、Safaniyah和Berri的大规模扩张预计将构成其未来三年上游投资的主要部分。

根据GlobalData的数据，该公司正在计划五个主要的扩张项目-四个原油项目和一个天然气项目，以提高产量。

GlobalData公司石油和天然气分析师Somayeh Davodi表示：“尽管这些开发项目也将增加天然气和NGL的产能，但主要的新增产能将来自石油。”

2016年至2018年，全球八分之一的原油由沙特阿美公司生产。作为全球最大的石油生产公司，同时也是最依赖石油生产的公司，沙特阿美在2018年的原油产量占上游资源总产量的88％。

2018年，该公司的MSC产能（一年内可生产的最大原油量）为1200万桶/天，其中原油产量为 1050万桶/天，剩余的150万桶/天则为备用产能。这种能力使该公司能够灵活地应对市场供需波动。新的扩张项目将增加145万桶/天的石油产能。

One eighth of the world’s crude oil from 2016 to 2018 was produced by Saudi Aramco.
