石油设备网讯 据路透社3月26日迪拜报道，沙特阿美是世界上最大的石油生产商，其首席执行官Amin Nasser周二表示，沙特阿美正在建立一个国际天然气业务，并将更多的原油转化为化学品，以减少其碳足迹。
根据Nasser在北京一次行业活动上的讲话副本，沙特阿美正在沙特和中国之间建立“能源桥梁”，以满足亚洲能源消费者对石油和天然气以及化学品和液化天然气日益增长的需求。
他表示:“我们需要帮助我们的利益相关者——包括中国和更广泛的亚洲地区——认识到在未来几十年里，石油和天然气仍将对世界能源至关重要。”
“我们需要用自己的长期投资让他们放心，我们一直提供的安全保证是他们可以继续依赖的。”
Nasser去年11月曾表示，沙特阿美未来10年的天然气扩张战略需要1500亿美元的投资，因为该公司计划增加产量，并在未来成为天然气出口国。
这家国有企业正在推进常规和非常规天然气勘探和生产计划，以满足其快速增长的行业需求，从而释放出更多的原油用于出口或生产化学品。
Nasser说，沙特石油的碳足迹是世界上最低的，温室气体排放强度也是所有向中国供应原油的国家中最低的。
沙特阿美是中国能源行业的主要投资者。今年2月，沙特阿美与中国北方工业公司(Norinco)签署了一项协议，将开发一个价值100亿美元的炼油和石化综合设施，并达成另一项协议，将收购浙江石化的部分股权。
中国海关总署(general administration of Chinese customs)周一公布的数据显示，沙特阿拉伯2月份是中国最大的原油供应国。

Saudi Aramco building global gas business to cut carbon footprint
Saudi Aramco, the world's biggest oil producer, was building an international gas business and converting more crude oil into chemicals in a bid to lessen its carbon footprint, Chief Executive Amin Nasser said on Tuesday.
Aramco is building "an energy bridge" between Saudi Arabia and China to meet the Asian energy consumer's increasing need for oil and gas as well as for chemicals and liquefied natural gas (LNG), according to a copy of Nasser's speech at an industry event in Beijing.
"We need to help our stakeholders - including here in China and the wider Asia region - realise that oil and gas will remain vital to world energy for decades to come," he said.
"We need to reassure them with our own long-term investments that the safety belt we have always provided is one they can continue to rely on."
Aramco's gas expansion strategy needs $150 billion of investment over the next decade as the company plans to increase output and later become a gas exporter, Nasser had said in November.
The state-owned company is pushing ahead with its conventional and unconventional gas exploration and production program to feed its fast-growing industries, freeing up more crude oil to export or turn into chemicals.
Nasser said that the carbon footprint of Saudi oil is among the lowest in the world, and has the lowest greenhouse gas intensity of any supplier of crude oil to China.
Aramco is a major investor in China's energy sector. In February, Aramco inked a deal with Chinese defence conglomerate Norinco to develop a $10 billion refining and petrochemical complex and another agreement to buy a stake in Zhejiang Petrochemical.
Saudi Arabia was China's biggest crude oil supplier in February, data from the general administration of Chinese customs showed on Monday in January.
