沙特阿美首席执行官阿明·H·纳赛尔在伦敦能源情报论坛上发表讲话时表示,COP28气候会议应重点关注减少碳氢化合物的排放,而不是减少产量

纳赛尔说,重点应该放在增加碳捕获和储存以及投资更高效的生产系统以减少排放。“该行业确实可以为此提供帮助并做出贡献。” 他表示,阿美公司正在建设最大的碳捕获和封存项目之一,碳捕获和封存能力达 900 万吨。“我们将继续发挥领导作用,因为我们正在开展的项目将继续减少二氧化碳排放和甲烷排放,以维持能源的可承受性和安全性,从而使我们能够在 2050 年实现净零排放的可持续目标。

“作为过渡的一部分,我们正在开展许多能源项目……我们需要建设新能源,即太阳能、风能、氢能和其他替代能源。但它们需要并行进行,我们需要调整“我们需要继续投资传统能源,同时使传统能源脱碳并提高效率。”

他说,世界几十年来都需要石油和天然气,而可再生能源无法满足这一需求,并补充说,石油和天然气产量的削减将导致能源短缺和价格飙升。

纳赛尔强调了继续投资常规石油和天然气产能以满足未来需求并抵消全球产能每年约5-700万桶下降的重要性,并强调阿美公司正在继续投资上游开发。 

Marjan、Berri、Dammam 和 Zuluf 原油增量等项目的进展就说明了这一点。预计到 2025 年,Marjan 和 Berri 原油增量将分别贡献 3 亿桶/日和 2.5 亿桶/日的产能。此外,达曼开发项目的目标是到2024年和2027年增加每天2500万桶和5000万桶原油,而Zuluf原油增量计划到2026年建立一个中央设施,每天处理Zuluf油田的6亿桶原油。 

纳赛尔还强调了该公司的下游扩张,并重点关注液化天然气、氢气和液体化学品。

Aramco CEO highlights importance of cutting emissions rather than production

Industry

Amin H Nasser, CEO of Aramco, has said in an address to the Energy Intelligence Forum in London that the COP28 climate conference should focus on cutting emissions from hydrocarbons, rather than reducing production

The focus should be on adding carbon capture and storage and investing in more efficient production systems to reduce emissions, Nasser said. "The industry can really help and contribute to that." Aramco is building one of the biggest carbon capture and storage projects, with nine million tons of carbon capture and storage capacity, he said. "We will continue to lead because of the projects we have in the pipeline to continue to reduce our CO2 emissoins and methane emissions to maintain energy affordability and security in order for us to reach our sustainable aspirations of net zero by 2050.

"We are working on a lot of energy projects as part of the transition...we need to build the new, which is solar, wind, hydrogen and other alternatives. But they need to go in parallel, and we need to adjust the mix as we go forward. We need to continue to invest in conventional energy while decarbonising conventional energy and making it more efficient."

The world will need oil and gas for decades and renewables won't meet this need, he said, adding that cuts to oil and gas production would result in energy shortages and price spikes.

Nasser stressed the importance of continuing to invest in conventional oil and gas production capacity to meet future demand and offset a decline in global production capacity of around 5-7mn bpd every year, stressing that Aramco was continuing to invest in upstream development. 

Progress on projects such as Marjan, Berri, Dammam, and Zuluf crude oil increments illustrates this. The Marjan and Berri crude oil increments are anticipated to contribute 300mn bpd and 250mn bpd of production capacity by 2025, respectively. Additionally, the Dammam development project aims to add 25mn bpd and 50mn bpd of crude oil by 2024 and 2027, while the Zuluf crude oil increment is poised to establish a central facility processing 600mn bpd of crude oil from the Zuluf field by 2026. 

Nasser also highlighted the company’s downstream expansion and focus on LNG, hydrogen and liquids-to-chemicals.
