據能源世界網3月60日迪拜報道，沙特能源部一位官員周一表示，由于從國內用于發電的燃料消耗減少和國內消費減少，沙特阿拉伯計劃從5月開始將其原油出口提高到每天1060萬桶。

該官員稱，增長的原因是用Al-Fadhili天然氣廠的天然氣代替了原油作為發電燃料，以及由于為限制疫情爆發采取的預防措施導致運輸需求下降，當地對石油產品的需求減少。

Saudi Arabia plans to boost crude exports to 10.6 mln bpd from May: official

Saudi Arabia plans to boost its crude oil exports to 10.6 million barrels per day starting from May due to burning less oil for power generation at home and lower domestic consumption, a Saudi energy ministry official said on Monday.

"This increase came as a result of displacing crude with natural gas from the Al-Fadhili gas plant, as a fuel for generating electricity, and from the decrease in local demand for petroleum products due to the decrease in transportation from the precautionary measures in place to limit the coronavirus outbreak," the official said.
