沙特阿美在行業(yè)低迷之際重新評(píng)估多元化計(jì)劃

據(jù)道瓊斯迪拜9月2日消息，知情人士透露，面對(duì)油價(jià)大幅下跌以及最近首次公開(kāi)募股(IPO)帶來(lái)的沉重股息負(fù)擔(dān)，沙特阿拉伯國(guó)有石油巨頭沙特阿美正在重新評(píng)估在國(guó)內(nèi)與海外擴(kuò)張的計(jì)劃。

這些知情人士表示，沙特阿美正在放慢國(guó)內(nèi)外投資擴(kuò)張的腳步。在國(guó)外，沙特阿美正在評(píng)估一項(xiàng)斥資66億美元在美國(guó)得克薩斯州Motiva煉油廠內(nèi)擴(kuò)大石化產(chǎn)品產(chǎn)量的計(jì)劃。同時(shí)，沙特阿美公司還在評(píng)估與Sempra 能源公司合作在得克薩斯州的一個(gè)大型天然氣項(xiàng)目，并暫停了對(duì)印度和巴基斯坦煉油廠的投資。在沙特國(guó)內(nèi)，沙特阿美也將3月份宣布的把原油日產(chǎn)能力從目前的約1,200萬(wàn)桶提高到1,300萬(wàn)桶的計(jì)劃推遲了一年。

沙特阿美未立即回復(fù)置評(píng)請(qǐng)求。

Saudi Aramco Slows Diversification Plans Amid Industry Downturn

Saudi Arabia's state oil giant is reviewing plans to expand at home and abroad in the face of sharply lower oil prices and a heavy dividend burden it assumed as part of its recent initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter.

Saudi Aramco is now slowing down and reviewing a $6.6 billion plan to add petrochemical output at its Motiva refinery in Texas, these people said. It is also reviewing a big natural-gas project with Sempra Energy in the same state, and pausing investments in refineries in India and Pakistan, these people said. At home, Aramco is delaying by a year plans, announced in March, to boost crude production capacity to 13 million barrels a day, from currently about 12 million, these people said.

Aramco didn't immediately return requests for comment.
