石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社9月28日迪拜报道，沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司将在第四季度从Khurais和Manifa两个油田新增原油日产量约550,000桶，从而在有需求的情况下提高产量。 一位知情人士称，Khurais油田生产轻质含硫原油，它的原油产量将增加约250,000-300,000桶/天，使该油田的日产量潜力增至150万桶。 该消息人士称，在解决了一些维护问题后，Manifa油田恢复生产将使沙特阿美原油日产量再另外增加300,000桶。 新增产量不会使沙特阿美的产能超过目前的每日1,200万桶。 但这将给该公司更大的灵活性，以增加供应，并更快达到更高的生产水平。 Khurais扩建项目对于帮助沙特阿拉伯维持其闲置产能、减轻老化油田的压力，长期以来，市场一直认为，该项目是一个关键的缓冲，可以在供应过剩或供应短缺时平衡市场。 闲置产能是沙特王国的一种工具，可以让它在供应突然中断或油价受到控制的情况下，以足够快的速度提高产量。 蔡小全 编译自 路透社 原文如下： Saudi Aramco to have more oil output capacity from two fields in Q4 State oil giant Saudi Aramco will bring new crude output capacity of some 550,000 barrels per day (bpd) online in the fourth quarter from two fields – Khurais and Manifa – giving it the ability to boost production if there is demand, a source said. The expansion of crude output capacity from Khurais field, which produces light sour crude, will add around 250,000-300,000 barrels per day boosting the field potential to 1.5 million bpd, one source familiar with the matter said. The resumption of production from the giant Manifa field, which pumps heavy sour oil, after resolving some maintenance issues will add another 300,000 bpd to Aramco’s crude output capacity, the source said. The additional output increase will not raise Aramco’s capacity above the current 12 million bpd. But that would give the company more flexibility to boost supplies and reach higher production levels sooner than before. The Khurais expansion project is crucial to help Saudi Arabia sustain its spare capacity and help reduce pressure on ageing fields, long seen by the market as a crucial cushion that can balance the market during times of oversupply or shortage. Spare capacity is the kingdom’s tool to allow it to raise output quick enough in case of any sudden supply outage or to keep oil prices in check.
