據ICIS網站8月10日新加坡報道 國有能源巨頭沙特阿美今年將繼續控制資本支出，此前在冠狀病毒大流行期間油價暴跌導致上半年盈利大幅下滑。

該公司在一份聲明中稱：“阿美繼續實施其資本支出優化和效率計劃，預計2020年資本支出將處于250-300億美元區間的低端。”

2020年的目標范圍低于去年328億美元的資本支出。

國有能源巨頭阿美表示，第二季度阿美的資本支出為62億美元，上半年為136億美元。

阿美石油公司表示：“疫情在全世界迅速蔓延，導致消費者和商業活動大幅減少，對原油、天然氣和石油產品的需求大幅減少。”

這家沙特能源巨頭第二季度凈利潤大幅下滑，原因是油價暴跌以及煉油和化工利潤率下降。

Saudi Aramco to rein in 2020 spending as pandemic hits H1 earnings

State-owned energy giant Saudi Aramco will continue to rein in capital spending this year following a plunge in first-half earnings caused by slumping oil prices amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“Aramco continues to implement its capital spending optimization and efficiency program, and expects capital expenditure to be at the lower end of the $25 billion to $30 billion range for 2020,” the company said in a statement.

The target range for 2020 is lower than last year’s capex of $32.8bn.

In the second quarter, Aramco’s capital spending stood at $6.2bn, with the first-half figure at $13.6bn, the state-owned energy giant said.

“The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic has spread rapidly throughout the world, resulting in substantial reductions in consumer and business activity and significantly reduced demand for crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products,” Aramco said.

The Saudi energy giant’s second-quarter net profit slumped due to a combination of oil price slump and falling refining and chemical margins.
