鉆機地帶3月21日報道,沙特阿拉伯國家石油公司沙特阿美(Aramco)公布其2021年全年財務業績,其凈利潤同比增長逾一倍,達到1100億美元。
沙特阿美強調,與2020年490億美元的凈利潤相比,這一數字增長了124%。沙特阿美概述稱,凈利潤增長反映出原油價格上漲、煉油和化工利潤率上升,以及沙特基礎工業公司全年業績的整合。
該公司報告稱,2021年來自運營活動的現金流為1394億美元,而2020年為761億美元,自由現金流為1075億美元,而2020年為491億美元。沙特阿美指出,其繼續優先考慮一份強勁的資產負債表,并透露2021年底的負債率為14.2%,而2020年底的負債率為23%。沙特阿美透露,該公司2021年的總股息為750億美元現金,外加紅利股票。
在最新的業績聲明中,沙特阿美還宣布了一項增長戰略,其上游業務包括到2027年將原油日產能提高到1300萬桶,到2030年天然氣產量或將提高50%以上。在其下游業務中,該公司指出,其計劃將其液體化工品的產能提高到每天400萬桶。沙特阿美還表示,其打算發展“重要的”氫出口能力,并“成為碳捕獲和儲存領域的全球領導者”。
此外,沙特阿美還強調,該公司的目標是在可再生能源和“基于自然的解決方案”上進行投資,以實現其到2050年全資運營的資產范圍1和范圍2的溫室氣體凈零排放。這還包括到2030年實現上游甲烷排放接近零的目標。
沙特阿美總裁兼首席執行官Amin H. Nasser在一份公司聲明中表示,我們強勁的業績證明了我們的財務紀律、通過不斷變化的市場條件實現的靈活性,以及我們對長期增長戰略的堅定關注,該戰略旨在為我們的股東實現價值增長。
他在聲明中補充道,盡管經濟狀況有了很大改善,但由于各種宏觀經濟和地緣政治因素,前景仍然不確定。但我們的投資計劃旨在利用對可靠、優惠、更加安全和可持續的能源不斷增長的長期需求。
Nasser繼續道,我們認識到能源安全對全球數十億人來說至關重要,這就是為什么我們在提高原油產能、執行天然氣擴張計劃和提高液體到化工品的產能方面繼續取得進展。
根據companymarketcap網站顯示(按市值計算的全球最大公司名單,不包括非公開交易公司并每天更新排名),阿美公司是全球第二大公司,市值為2.28萬億美元。該網站顯示,蘋果以2.67萬億美元的市值排名第一。排名第二的石油和天然氣公司是埃克森美孚,市值3330.5億美元,排在第26位。
根據阿美石油公司的網站顯示,該公司管理著沙特3368.7億桶石油當量的探明儲量,雇傭了超過7萬名員工。該公司的歷史可以追溯到1933年,當時沙特阿拉伯和加利福尼亞標準石油公司(SOCAL)簽署了一項承租協議。

Aramco Net Income More Than Doubles to $110B
The Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco) announced in its full-year 2021 financial results on Sunday that its net income more than doubled year on year to $110 billion.
Aramco highlighted that the figure marked a 124 percent increase compared to its net income of $49 billion in 2020. The rise in net income reflects higher crude oil prices, stronger refining and chemicals margins, and the consolidation of SABIC’s full-year results, Aramco outlined.
The company reported that its cash flow from operating activities was $139.4 billion in 2021, compared to $76.1 billion in 2020, and that its free cash flow was $107.5 billion in 2021, compared to $49.1 billion in 2020. Aramco noted that it continues to prioritize a strong balance sheet and revealed that its gearing ratio at the end of 2021 was 14.2 percent, compared to 23 percent at the end of 2020. The company’s total dividend for 2021 is $75 billion in cash, in addition to bonus shares, Aramco revealed.
In its latest results statement, Aramco also announced a growth strategy, which in its upstream business includes continuing to raise crude oil capacity to 13 million barrels per day by 2027, and potentially increasing gas production by more than 50 percent by 2030. In its downstream business, the company noted that it plans to expand its liquids to chemicals capacity to up to four million barrels per day. Aramco also said it intends to develop a “significant” hydrogen export capability and “become a global leader in carbon capture and storage”.
Additionally, Aramco highlighted that it is targeting investment in renewable energy and “nature-based solutions” as it pursues its ambition of achieving net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions across its wholly owned operated assets by 2050. This also includes an aim to reach near-zero upstream methane emissions by 2030.
“Our strong results are a testament to our financial discipline, flexibility through evolving market conditions and steadfast focus on our long-term growth strategy, which targets value growth for our shareholders,” Aramco President and CEO Amin H. Nasser said in a company statement.
“Although economic conditions have improved considerably, the outlook remains uncertain due to various macro-economic and geopolitical factors. But our investment plan aims to tap into rising long-term demand for reliable, affordable and ever more secure and sustainable energy,” he added in the statement.
“We recognize that energy security is paramount for billions of people around the world, which is why we continue to make progress on increasing our crude oil production capacity, executing our gas expansion program and increasing our liquids to chemicals capacity,” Nasser went on to say.
According to companiesmarketcap.com, a list of the world’s largest companies by market capitalization which excludes non-publicly traded companies and updates rankings daily, Aramco is the second largest company in the world with a market capitalization of $2.28 trillion. The site shows that Apple is ranked first with a market capitalization of $2.67 trillion. The next ranked oil and gas company is ExxonMobil in 26th place with a market capitalization of $333.05 billion, according to the list.
Aramco manages the Kingdom’s proved reserves of 336.87 billion barrels of oil equivalent, employing a workforce of more than 70,000 people, the company’s website shows. The company traces its roots to 1933 when a concession agreement was signed between Saudi Arabia and the Standard Oil Company of California (SOCAL).
