中国石化新闻网讯 据今日油价1月18日消息 沙特能源部长法利赫周五在南非访问时表示，沙特计划在南非建造一座使用沙特原油的炼油厂以及一座石化厂，并将其作为100亿美元投资的一部分。

法利赫指出，沙特石油巨头沙特阿美将负责南非炼油厂的建设。

路透社援引沙特部长在会见南非能源部长Jeff Radebe的话称：“沙特阿美各小组已经交换了会谈意见，并得到了南非能源部的支持。”

Radebe周五在推特上说：“南非共和国和沙特阿拉伯王国签署了一份旨在在油气领域全面合作的意向声明。”

据南非部长称，这两个国家将在未来几周内最终确定炼油厂和石化厂的确切位置。

法利赫指出，沙特阿拉伯有兴趣使用非洲国家的主要石油储存设施。此外，沙特阿拉伯公用事业开发商ACWA Power正寻求投资南非的新可再生能源项目。

2018年夏天，在南非总统Cyril Ramaphosa对沙特阿拉伯进行国事访问期间，沙特承诺向南非投资100亿美元，主要投资于能源领域。

Saudis Look To Build Oil Refinery, Petrochemical Plant In South Africa

Saudi Arabia plans to build an oil refinery that would use Saudi crude, as well as a petrochemical plant in South Africa, as part of US$10 billion investments, Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said on Friday while on a visit to South Africa.

Saudi oil giant Saudi Aramco will lead the construction of the oil refinery in South Africa, al-Falih noted.

“There have been exchanges of talks by Saudi Aramco teams and they have been supported by the South African energy ministry,” Reuters quoted the Saudi minister as saying after a meeting with South Africa’s Energy Minister Jeff Radebe.

“The Republic of South Africa and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia concluded & signed a declaration of intent to cooperate comprehensively in the field of oil & gas,” Radebe tweeted on Friday.

According to the South African minister, the two countries will finalize in the next few weeks details about the exact locations of the oil refinery and petrochemical plant.

Al-Falih, for his part, noted that Saudi Arabia was interested in using the African country’s major oil storage facilities. In addition, Saudi Arabia’s utility developer ACWA Power is looking to invest in South Africa’s new renewable energy program.

In the summer of 2018, during the state visit of South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa to Saudi Arabia, the Saudis pledged to invest US$10 billion in South Africa, predominantly in the energy sector.
