阿布扎比國家石油公司（ADNOC）計劃到2027年投資1500億美元以提高油氣產能

這比之前1270億美元的支出計劃增加230億美元

ADNOC還將組建一個新的天然氣加工和銷售部門

據油價網11月29日報道，隨著油價在2023年經濟衰退前大幅下跌，歐佩克+和(看漲的)石油交易商最不希望看到的就是更多的供應，而這恰恰是海灣核心中心所提議的。據彭博新聞社報道，阿拉伯聯合酋長國——近年來一直積極尋求擺脫石油的多元化，成為世界加密貨幣中心——將尋求回歸其核心競爭力，并計劃擴大其全球能源——特別是能源支出——以提高石油和天然氣的生產能力。阿布扎比國家石油公司(ADNOC)周一在一份聲明中說，ADNOC將在截至2027年的5年內投資1500億美元擴大油氣產能。 這比一年前宣布的5年1270億美元的支出計劃增加230億美元。  

阿聯酋這一投資熱潮將試圖在2027年前將原油日產能提高到500萬桶，早于此前制定的2030年的目標。與此同時，沙特阿拉伯石油巨頭沙特阿拉伯國家石油公司（沙特阿美）也計劃在2027年前將其原油日產量擴大1200萬桶。

阿聯酋是石油輸出國組織中僅次于沙特阿拉伯和伊拉克的第三大產油國。盡管阿聯酋正努力在2050年前實現凈零碳排放，但阿聯酋仍將耗資數十億美元開采更多的石油和天然氣。 

在今年的大部分時間里，石油生產商都從價格飆升中獲益，價格飆升的部分原因是暴發地緣政治沖突。雖然布倫特原油價格已回落至接近年初的水平，但在2月份曾一度攀升至每桶100美元以上。

根據一份聲明，ADNOC還將成立一個新的天然氣加工和銷售部門。ADNOC將尋求通過2023年在阿布扎比的首次公開募股，出售其旗下的ADNOC天然氣公司的少數股份。

阿聯酋政府擁有的ADNOC將成立一個獨立的部門，負責在天然氣、化工和新能源領域的國際擴張。

UAE To Expand Oil & Gas Production Capacity With $150 Billion Investment

·     ADNOC plans to spend $150 billion through 2027 to boost oil and gas production capacity.

·     That’s an increase on the previous spending plan of $127 billion.

·     Adnoc will also form a new unit for gas processing and marketing.

With oil tumbling ahead of the grueling 2023 recession, the last thing OPEC+ and (bullish) oil traders wanted to see is even more supply coming on line, and yet that's precisely what the core gulf hub is proposing. According to Bloomberg, the United Arab Emirates - which in recent years has aggressively sought to diversify away from oil and to become the world's crypto hub - will look to revert back to its core competency and plans to expand its global energy - and especially energy spending - to boost oil and natural gas production capacity. Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., also known as Adnoc, will invest $150 billion in the five years through 2027, it said in a statement Monday. That’s an increase on the previous spending plan of $127 billion over five years that was announced a year ago.

The spending spree will try to raise crude output capacity to 5 million barrels a day by 2027, earlier than the previous target of 2030, and comes at a time when Saudi oil giant Aramco is also planning to expand its output by 12 million by 2027.

The UAE is the largest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries after Saudi Arabia and Iraq. It’s spending billions of dollars to pump more oil and gas, even as the country strives to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Oil producers have benefited for most of this year from surging prices, driven in part by the war. While Brent crude has fallen back to near where it started the year, it climbed to more than $100 a barrel in February.

Adnoc will also form a new unit for gas processing and marketing, according to a statement. It will look to sell a minority share of the business, called Adnoc Gas, through an initial public offering in Abu Dhabi in 2023.

The government-owned Adnoc will set up a separate arm to look at international expansion in gas, chemicals and new energy sources.
