Aramco计划于中国建设炼油厂

Saudi Aramco is in advanced negotiations with China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) to build the Yunnan refinery in China, its chairman said on Al Arabiya TV on Wednesday. Khalid Al-Falih, who is also Saudi Arabia’s energy minister, said: “We hope to reach an agreement this year.” The minister added that he is optimistic on demand for oil. “We in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia do not have a targeted number to reach. The kingdom’s production meets the requirements of the customers, whether they are outside or inside the kingdom,” Al-Falih told the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya television channel in remarks broadcast on Wednesday.”The market now is saturated with oversupply and we don’t see in the short term a need for the kingdom to reach its maximum production capacity,” he told the TV channel.The minister is part of an official Saudi visit headed by Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aimed at bolstering relations with China, a top energy customer and trade partner.
