沙特阿美计划提高哈维亚和哈拉德厂的天然气产量

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社1月20日胡拜尔报道，业内人士说，为了满足国内不断增加的能源需求，沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司计划提高其麾下的两个天然气厂哈维亚厂和哈拉德厂的天然气产量。

这两个估计耗资近40亿美元的项目将看到工程公司把哈维亚厂的天然气日加工能力扩大13亿标准立方英尺。哈维亚天然气厂目前日加工25亿立方英尺天然气。

提高天然气产量是沙特阿美通过削减发电使用原油和液体燃料来多元化其能源结构的关键。

业内人士说，世界最大的油气公司沙特阿美还将通过建造天然气压缩厂和其他设施来提高哈拉德厂的天然气产量。

沙特阿美日前已要求有关公司表达他们参加这些项目招标的兴趣，而实际招标预计在3月份开始。

Friday, January 20, 2017

KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia- Saudi Aramco plans to boost gas production at its Hawiyah and Haradh plants to meet growing domestic energy needs, industry sources said.

The projects, estimated to cost approximately $4 billion, would see engineering companies expand the processing capacity at Hawiyah by 1.3 billion standard cubic feet per day. Hawiyah gas plant currently processes 2.5 billion scfd of gas.

Raising gas production is key to Saudi Arabia's plan to diversify its energy mix by cutting its use of crude oil and liquids for power generation.

Aramco, the world's largest oil and gas company, would also boost production from Haradh by building gas compression plants and other facilities, the sources said. Hawiyah and Haradh are part of Ghawar, the world's largest onshore oilfield.

Aramco has asked companies to express their interests in participating in bidding for these projects while the actual bidding is expected to start in March.
