石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯4月1日迪拜报道，世界最大的原油出口公司沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）周一宣布，该公司去年的净利润达到了1110亿美元，原因是沙特阿美提交了发行债券的计划，重新唤起了人们对其停滞不前的首次公开募股（IPO）计划的兴趣。
这家总部位于沙特阿拉伯达兰的石油巨头在周一提交的招股说明书中说，公司去年利润比2017年的759亿美元大幅增长了近50%。沙特阿美此次债务出售可能为其股票最终在2021年的IPO铺平道路。
沙特阿美的重组是沙特实现经济多元化、从石油转向吸引外国投资计划的一部分。根据招股说明书，该公司2018年的日产量为1360万桶油当量，从2016年到2018年，全球每8桶石油产量中就有一桶是沙特阿美的。
沙特阿美表示，该公司已同意以691亿美元价格收购石油化工生产商沙特基础工业公司SABIC 70%的股份。

Saudi Aramco lifting lid on profits ahead of planned IPO
Saudi Arabian Oil Co., the world's largest crude oil exporter, said Monday its net income hit $111 billion last year as it filed plans to issue debt, reawakening interest in its stalled initial public offering plan, set to be the biggest ever.
Profit climbed almost 50% from $75.9 billion in 2017, the Dhahran, Saudi Arabia-based company said in a prospectus filed Monday for a possible note offering. The debt sale by Saudi Aramco, as the company is known, could pave the way for an eventual IPO of its shares, which officials have said could happen in 2021.
Aramco's reshaping is part of Saudi Arabia's plan to diversify the economy from oil and attract foreign investment. In 2018, the company produced 13.6 million b/d of oil equivalent, with crude production accounting for one in every eight barrels pumped globally from 2016 to 2018, according to the prospectus.
Aramco is currently in talks with "various financial institutions" to borrow up to $10 billion, after the company said it had agreed to buy 70% of petrochemicals producer Saudi Basic Industries Corp. for $69.1 billion.
