石油设备网讯 据路透社4月24日报道，尼日利亚石油部周三在推特上表示，尼日利亚石油部长Emmanuel Kachikwu和沙特阿美总裁讨论了中下游领域的投资选择。
沙特阿美正在扩大炼油和石化等下游业务，这是其成为全球最大综合能源公司的努力之一。
尽管尼日利亚是非洲最大的原油生产国，但由于其炼油厂破旧，该国大部分汽油仍依赖进口。
上个月，尼日利亚国家石油公司表示，它正在与不同的财团进行谈判，以改造其炼油厂，并在燃料进口上节省数十亿美元。
Kachikwu正在对沙特阿拉伯进行正式访问。
石油设备网讯 尼日利亚石油部在其推特上表示，Kachikwu和沙特阿美的官员(包括其总裁)讨论了“共同投资利益的领域，以及中下游领域现有的可行投资选择”。
在另一条推特上，该公司表示，Kachikwu与沙特阿拉伯能源部长举行了会谈，以“巩固对支持尼日利亚石油行业基础设施发展的初步兴趣”。
这是尼日利亚和沙特官员之间的最新一次会谈。今年2月，尼日利亚总统表示，作为欧佩克成员国，尼日利亚愿意减少石油产量，以帮助确保油价上涨。此前，沙特阿拉伯的一位特使呼吁更好地遵守减产协议。

Nigeria's oil minister and Saudi Aramco discuss investment options -Nigeria oil ministry
Nigerian Oil Minister Emmanuel Kachikwu and the president of Saudi Aramco have discussed investment options in the mid and downstream sector, Nigeria's petroleum ministry said on Wednesday in a tweet.
Aramco is expanding downstream operations such as refining and petrochemicals production as part of its drive to become the world's largest integrated energy firm.
Nigeria imports the bulk of its petrol, despite being Africa's biggest crude oil producer, due to its dilapidated refineries.
Last month, Nigeria's state oil company said it was in talks with different consortiums to revamp its refineries and save billions of dollars on fuel imports.
Kachikwu is on an official visit to Saudi Arabia.
Nigeria's petroleum ministry, on its Twitter feed, said Kachikwu and Aramco officials including its president discussed "areas of shared investment interests and existing viable investment options in the midstream and downstream sector".
In another tweet, it said Kachikwu held talks with Saudi Arabia's energy minister to "cement the budding interest to support Nigeria's infrastructure development in the oil sector".
The talks are the latest between Nigerian and Saudi officials. In February, Nigeria's president said his country - a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries - was willing to reduce oil output to help secure higher prices after an envoy from Saudi Arabia called for better adherence to a deal on production cuts.
