据阿拉伯贸易3月29日新闻消息称，彭博社援引知情人士消息称，国有的科威特石油公司计划在未来五年内借入200亿美元，以弥补预期的资金缺口。
这位不愿透露姓名的人士表示，这家科威特石油巨头将需要这笔钱来维持该国的原油生产水平。
该报告称，该借款计划突显出，随着冠状病毒大流行蔓延和能源需求大幅下降，去年原油价格下跌对波斯湾国家的影响非常严重。
该公司几乎将其原油销售的所有收入都汇出给欧佩克成员国的政府。该公司表示，随后将以分期偿还的方式偿还资本支出，主要用于上游业务和油田投资。
据彭博社报道，该公司可能在未来五年内面临60亿韩元(200亿美元)的赤字，但它希望通过提高效率来缩小缺口。
KPC计划通过发行债券(包括在国际市场上)来弥补这一缺口。该报道援引消息人士称，该情况将每六个月进行一次审查，以评估公司的需求和借贷成本。
这个欧佩克成员国的财政状况和几乎所有主要石油生产国的财政状况一样，在去年病毒使世界各地的飞机停飞和企业关闭时都受到了打击。
此后，KPC 已达成初步协议，将在15年内偿还这笔款项。这位知情人士还说，这有所帮助，但不能解决该公司的问题。

Kuwait Petroleum eyes $20bn in funding over next 5 years
State-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corporation plans to borrow as much as $20 billion over the next five years to make up for an expected shortfall in funding, reported Bloomberg, citing a source familiar with the matter.
The Kuwait oil giant will need the money to maintain the petrostate’s crude-production levels, stated the person on condition of anonymity.
The borrowing plan underscores how badly Persian Gulf countries were impacted by the drop in crude prices last year as the coronavirus pandemic spread and energy demand plunged, said the report.
The company remits almost everything it generates from crude sales to the Opec member’s government. It then gets reimbursed in installments to fund capital expenditure, mainly for upstream operations and investments in oil fields, it stated.
The firm may face a deficit of KD6 billion ($20 billion) over five years, though it hopes to minimize the gap by becoming more efficient, reported Bloomberg.
KPC plans to cover the shortfall by issuing debt, including on international markets. The situation will be reviewed every six months to assess the company’s needs and borrowing costs, said the report citing the source.
The Opec member’s financial position - like that of almost all major oil producers - took a hit last year when the virus grounded planes and shut down businesses across the world.
KPC has since reached a preliminary agreement to repay the sum over 15 years. That helps but won’t solve the company’s problem, the person added.
