沙特阿美近期停止了扩大石油产能的计划，并专注于开发其境内非常规天然气田。该公司还表示，正在寻找投资海外LNG项目的机会。

2023年第三季度，沙特阿拉伯发现了2个天然气田（Al-Hiran气田和Al-Mahakik气田）。预计Al-Hiran气田的天然气产量约为3000万立方英尺/日。Al-Mahakik气田的天然气产量约为85万立方英尺/日。此外，该公司在之前发现油田的5个储层中也发现了天然气。

全球能源转型背景下，天然气需求量大幅增长，到2030年，LNG需求预计增长50%，促使沙特阿拉伯加快开发非常规天然气田。

沙特阿拉伯对天然气的重视程度日益提高，并于今年早些时候在LNG领域进行了首次收购。

据报道，本月早些时候，沙特阿美和阿布扎比国家石油公司就投资美国LNG项目进行谈判。今年1月，彭博社汇编的数据显示，美国已超过卡塔尔，成为全球最大的LNG出口国。

Saudi Aramco recently halted plans to expand its oil production capacity and is focusing on developing unconventional gas fields within its borders. The company also said it is looking for opportunities to invest in LNG projects overseas.

In the third quarter of 2023, Saudi Arabia discovered two gas fields (Al-Hiran gas field and Al-Mahakik gas field). Natural gas production from the Al-Hiran field is expected to be around 30 million cubic feet per day. Natural gas production from the Al-Mahakik field is approximately 850,000 cubic feet per day. In addition, the company has found natural gas in five reservoirs from previous discoveries.

In the context of the global energy transition, the demand for natural gas has increased significantly, and LNG demand is expected to increase by 50% by 2030, prompting Saudi Arabia to accelerate the development of unconventional gas fields.

Saudi Arabia is placing an increasing emphasis on natural gas and made its first acquisition in the LNG sector earlier this year.

Earlier this month, Saudi Aramco and ABU Dhabi National Oil Company were reportedly in talks to invest in U.S. LNG projects. In January, data compiled by Bloomberg showed that the United States had overtaken Qatar to become the world's largest LNG exporter.
