据国外媒体6月27胡拜尔报道,业内消息人士表示,沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司(沙特阿)日前重新启动了在其最大炼油厂拉斯塔努拉炼油厂增加清洁燃料装置以及在其拉比格炼油厂增加更多生产环保燃料装置的计划。
中东炼油厂纷纷转移到生产清洁燃料,这些清洁燃料将出口到对环境有更严格要求的市场。
业内消息人士年初曾对路透社记者说,由于油价下跌,沙特阿美公司暂停了在拉斯塔努拉炼油厂开发这个20亿美元清洁燃料项目的计划。
沙特阿美公司与其合作伙伴埃克森美孚公司已投资25亿美元提升位于沙特阿拉伯红海海岸的一个炼油厂来生产清洁燃料。此外,沙特阿美公司还在提升其位于利雅得的炼油厂。
沙特阿美公司在延布和朱拜勒的新的和全面转换的炼油厂也在生产清洁燃料。

Saudi Aramco plans cleaner fuels for key refineries
African Oil & Gas News
AL KHOBAR,June 27,2015
Saudi Aramco has revived plans to add a clean fuels unit in its biggest oil refinery in Ras Tanura and more environmentally-friendly units to its Rabigh refinery, industry sources said.
There has been a shift in Middle Eastern refineries to produce cleaner fuel to target export markets with stricter environmental requirements.
Early in January, industry sources had told Reuters Aramco suspended plans to develop the $2 billion project in Ras Tanura due to the drop in the oil price.
Saudi Aramco invested $2.5 billion with its partner Exxon Mobil to upgrade a refinery on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia to produce cleaner fuels and is also upgrading its Riyadh refinery.
Its new and full-conversion refineries in Yanbu and Jubail also make cleaner fuels.
