圭亚那与沙特阿美签署为期1年的原油销售协议

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据OE网站9月17日报道，圭亚那副总统Bharrat Jagdeo对路透表示，圭亚那已与沙特阿拉伯石油公司沙特阿美(Aramco)的子公司签订为期一年的合同，以销售该国政府在这个南美国家生产的原油份额。

　　该国于9月初授予阿美一份合同，将于9月21-22日销售一批货物。该国自然资源部长Vickram Bharrat当时告诉路透社，该公司也有可能赢得为期一年的合同，但该过程尚未完成。

　　2019年底，埃克森美孚公司（Exxon Mobil Corp.）领导的一个财团开始在圭亚那沿海生产原油，圭亚那成为世界上最新的能源热点。目前日产量约为12万桶石油，包括赫斯集团（Hess Corp）在内的财团已发现逾90亿桶的可采资源。

　　但该国缺乏国内炼油能力，也没有国有石油公司，因此今年早些时候，该国启动了寻找代理商销售其原油的程序。圭亚那与印度炼油商就向印度出口轻油进行的平行谈判未能达成供应合同。

　　Saudi Aramco Unit to Market Guyana's Crude for One Year

　　Guyana has granted a unit of Saudi Arabian Oil Co, known as Aramco, a one-year contract to market the government's share of the crude produced in the South American country, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo told Reuters.

　　The country in early September had awarded Aramco a contract to market a cargo scheduled for Sept. 21-22. Natural Resources Minister Vickram Bharrat told Reuters at the time that the company was likely to win the year-long contract as well, but that the process was not yet complete.

　　Guyana became the world's newest energy hotspot when a consortium led by Exxon Mobil Corp began producing crude off the country's coast in late 2019. It is now producing around 120,000 barrels per day, and the consortium, which also includes Hess Corp has discovered more than 9 billion barrels of recoverable resources.

　　But the country lacks domestic refining capacity or a state oil company, so earlier this year it launched a search process for an agent to market its crude. Parallel talks with Indian refiners to export Guyana's light oil to that country failed to lead to a supply contract.
