中國石化新聞網訊 據阿拉伯貿易12月5日消息稱，國有石油巨頭沙特阿美公司總裁兼執行長阿明?納賽爾（Amin Nasser）表示，今年6月，沙特阿美斥資690億美元收購了全球化工行業的領軍企業沙特基礎工業公司(Sabic)，並對石油化工技術進行投資。
納賽爾表示:「儘管我們看到許多公司宣布全球煉油廠合理化或停產（包括歐洲、美國和亞洲），但我們仍在某些地區看到了機遇。
他補充稱:「我們預計，未來8-10年全球新增煉油產能的一半以上將在亞洲，其中70-80%將主要集中在塑料領域。」
他在講話中談到了2020年的挑戰，他相信化工和石油工業的光明未來，並預計在未來十年，石化產品將佔全球石油需求增長的一半以上。
他將沙特阿美今年早些時候對沙特基礎工業公司的收購稱為「轉型」，使這家石油巨頭能夠實現其化工戰略。
納賽爾說："如果你將我們的上遊實力、逾500萬桶/天的煉油產能，與Sabic化工資產和全球業務結合起來，我們將成為全球頂尖的化工企業之一。」

Aramco set to expand global footprint in chemical industry
With the $69 billion acquisition of Sabic, a global leader in the chemicals industry in June and investments in oil-to-chemicals technology, said Aramco President and CEO Amin Nasser.
"Although we are seeing a number of companies announcing global refinery rationalisations or shutdowns - in Europe, the US and at some scale in Asia - we still see opportunities in certain geographies," stated Nasser.
"We expect more than half the world’s new refining capacity that will come on stream in the next 8-10 years will be in Asia, and 70-80% of that will be focused mainly on plastics," he added.
He commented on the challenges of 2020, his belief in a bright future for the chemical and petroleum industries, and his expectation that petrochemicals will represent over half of the growth in global oil demand over the next decade.
He called Aramco’s acquisition of Sabic earlier this year 「transformational」, which enabled the oil giant to deliver on its chemical strategy.
「If you combine our upstream strength and refining capacity of more than 5m bbl/day with Sabic’s chemicals asset base and global presence, it has made us one of the top global chemical players,」 said Nasser.?
