據安迅思1月15日消息稱，能源巨頭沙特阿美正在通過收購東歐國家最大的煉油商pn Orlen，在波蘭的煉油、批發和航空燃油營銷領域進行投資。

沙特阿美在1月12日的一份聲明中說：“該公司已同意收購格但斯克一家日產量21萬桶的煉油廠30%的股權；100%從事聯營批發業務；與英國能源公司bp合資經營航空燃料銷售，并獲得50%的利潤。”

收購的財務細節沒有披露。

沙特阿美下游業務高級副總裁Mohammed Al Qahtani表示:“這些收購將支持沙特阿美在整個碳氫化合物價值鏈上的產品組合多樣化，包括專注于從液體到化學品的途徑。”

在 PKN Orlen 提議與波蘭第二大煉油商 Grupa Lotos 合并后， 這些收購將由 PKN Orlen 進行。

交易的完成仍需獲得監管部門的批準，包括歐盟委員會的批準。

沙特阿美表示:“這些投資將擴大沙特阿美在歐洲下游行業的影響力，并進一步擴大其對波蘭的原油進口，這符合 PKN Orlen 的能源供應多元化戰略。”

另外，沙特阿美與其持有70%股權的子公司沙特基礎工業公司(SABIC)和PKN Orlen簽署了諒解備忘錄(MoU)，可能在中歐和東歐(CEE)建造蒸汽裂解裝置和化工生產設施。

沙特阿美和PKN Orlen簽署了另一份諒解備忘錄，重點是探索研究和開發的潛在機會。

沙特阿美的Al Qahtani表示:“我們在石油和化學品方面的業務目標與PKN Orlen密切相關，我們正在探索歐洲石化市場以及研發方面的額外機會。”

Saudi Aramco invests in Poland’s refining, wholesale, jet fuel ops

Energy giant Saudi Aramco is investing in Poland’s refining, wholesale and jet fuel marketing segments via acquisitions from the eastern European country’s biggest refiner PKN Orlen.

“The company has agreed to acquire equity stakes of 30% in a 210,000 barrels per day refinery in Gdansk; 100% in an associated wholesale business; and 50% in a jet fuel marketing joint venture with [UK energy firm] BP,” Saudi Aramco said in a statement on 12 January.

Financial details of the acquisitions were not disclosed.

“These acquisitions will support the diversification of Aramco’s product portfolio across the hydrocarbon value chain – including a focus on liquids-to-chemicals pathways,” said Mohammed Al Qahtani, Aramco senior vice president of downstream operations.

The acquisitions will be made from PKN Orlen following its proposed merger with Grupa Lotos, Poland’s second biggest refiner.

Completion of the transaction is still subject to regulatory approvals, including from the European Commission.

“The investments will widen Aramco’s presence in the European downstream sector and further expand its crude imports into Poland, which aligns with PKN Orlen’s strategy of diversifying its energy supplies,” Saudi Aramco said.

Separately, Aramco has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with its 70%-owned subsidiary SABIC and PKN Orlen for a possible steam cracker and a chemical production facility in central and eastern Europe (CEE).

Another MoU was signed by Aramco and PKN Orlen which focuses on exploring potential opportunities for research and development.

“Our business objectives for oil and chemicals are closely aligned with PKN Orlen, and we are exploring additional opportunities in the European petrochemicals market, as well as in R&D,” Aramco’s Al Qahtani said.
