據油價網4月18日消息稱，周五援引一位了解其中一個項目的承包商的話報道，世界上最大的石油公司和最大的石油出口商沙特阿美公司已經恢復了主要海上石油擴建項目的招標和開發工作，到2024年，這些項目將使沙特阿拉伯的日產量增加115萬桶。
海上鉆井承包商諾布爾公司和大陸架鉆井公司于6月表示，沙特阿美公司已通知他們，他們在沙特的海上鉆井平臺將暫停一年。
現在，沙特阿美正在推進推遲的開發工作。沙特石油巨頭已經對近海Zuluf油田的開發工作發出招標，該油田的產能為82.5萬桶/天，計劃增加60萬桶/天。
據Argus稱，擴建項目最初預計將于2023年啟動，現在推遲了幾個月，預計將于2023年末或2024年初開始運營。
Argus指出，擴建另外兩個海上油田Marjan和Berri的工作已于3月底開始。Marjan油田的日產量為40萬桶，到2023年，該油田的日產量將增加30萬桶，Berri油田目前的日產量為30萬桶，到2023年，其日產量將增加25萬桶。
2019年7月，沙特阿美公司授予34個合同，總價值180億美元，將這兩個油田的石油日產量提高55萬桶，以維持其到本世紀20年代初1200萬桶的日產量，并取代老化油田失去的產能。

Saudi Aramco Restarts Projects To Boost Oil Production Capacity
The world’s largest oil company and biggest oil exporter, Saudi Aramco, has resumed tendering and development work on major offshore oil expansion projects that would give Saudi Arabia another 1.15 million barrels per day (bpd) of production capacity by 2024,citing a contractor with knowledge of one of the projects.
Offshore drilling contractors Noble Corporation and Shelf Drilling said in June they had been notified by Saudi Aramco that their rigs offshore the Kingdom would be suspended for up to one year.
Now Aramco is moving forward with the postponed start of the development work. The Saudi oil giant has issued tenders for development work at the offshore Zuluf oilfield with a capacity of 825,000 bpd, which is planned to be increased by 600,000 bpd.
The expansion project, initially expected to start up in 2023, is now postponed with a few months and is expected to start operations either late into 2023 or in early 2024, according to Argus.
Work on the expansion of two other offshore oilfields, Marjan and Berri, had already started at the end of March, Argus notes. The 400,000-bpd Marjan field is set to boost its capacity by 300,000 bpd, and the Berri field, currently with a capacity of 300,000 bpd, will see its production capacity rise by 250,000 bpd by 2023.
In July 2019, Saudi Aramco awarded 34 contracts worth a total of US$18 billion to boost the oil production capacity of the two fields by a total of 550,000 bpd to sustain its 12-million-bpd production capacity by the early 2020s and to replace production capacity lost from aging oilfields.
