石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯2019年3月27日,伦敦报道，沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）周三在利雅得表示，经过数月谈判，该公司已签署协议，以691亿美元收购沙特阿拉伯石油化工巨头沙特基础工业公司（萨比克/SABIC）70%的多数股权。
沙特阿美将从沙特阿拉伯主权公共投资基金那里收购上述股权。沙特阿拉伯希望通过该基金为其雄心勃勃的改革提供资金，以实现经济多元化，从而摆脱对石油收入的依赖。
这笔沙特阿美说须经监管机构和其他条件批准的交易将使这家国有石油巨头继续其向下游推进并为其股票在2021年最终公开上市（尽管还没有决定）铺平道路。
沙特阿美负责下游业务的高级副总裁Abdulaziz al-Judaimi在一份声明中说：“萨比克是一个很好的战略合作伙伴，也是一个坚实的平台，可以支持我们对石化产品未来增长的持续投资。石化产品是石油需求增长最快的领域。”
沙特阿美计划到2030年前将其全球炼油日产能从目前的490万桶提高到800万至1000万桶。在计划产能中，大约200万至300万桶/天将转化为石化产品。

Saudi Aramco signs agreement to acquire 70% stake in SABIC for $69.1 billion
Saudi Aramco on Wednesday said it had signed a deal to acquire a 70% majority stake in petrochemical company SABIC for $69.1 billion, following months of negotiations.
Aramco is purchasing the stake from Saudi Arabia's sovereign Public Investment Fund, the vehicle by which the kingdom aims to finance ambitious reforms intended to diversify its economy away from a reliance on oil revenues.
The transaction, which Aramco said is subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions, will enable the state-owned oil giant to continue its downstream push and paves the way for an eventual - though by no means decided - public listing of its shares, which officials have said could happen in 2021.
"SABIC is a good strategic fit and a solid platform to support our continued investment for future growth in petrochemicals - the fastest growing sector of oil demand," Abdulaziz al-Judaimi, Aramco's senior vice president of downstream, said in a statement.
Aramco plans to increase its global refining capacity to 8 million-10 million b/d by 2030, from its current 4.9 million b/d. Of the planned capacity, about 2 million-3 million b/d will be converted to petrochemical products.
