据油价网4月18日消息称，周五援引一位了解其中一个项目的承包商的话报道，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经恢复了主要海上石油扩建项目的招标和开发工作，到2024年，这些项目将使沙特阿拉伯的日产量增加115万桶。
海上钻井承包商诺布尔公司和大陆架钻井公司于6月表示，沙特阿美公司已通知他们，他们在沙特的海上钻井平台将暂停一年。
现在，沙特阿美正在推进推迟的开发工作。沙特石油巨头已经对近海Zuluf油田的开发工作发出招标，该油田的产能为82.5万桶/天，计划增加60万桶/天。
据Argus称，扩建项目最初预计将于2023年启动，现在推迟了几个月，预计将于2023年末或2024年初开始运营。
Argus指出，扩建另外两个海上油田Marjan和Berri的工作已于3月底开始。Marjan油田的日产量为40万桶，到2023年，该油田的日产量将增加30万桶，Berri油田目前的日产量为30万桶，到2023年，其日产量将增加25万桶。
2019年7月，沙特阿美公司授予34个合同，总价值180亿美元，将这两个油田的石油日产量提高55万桶，以维持其到本世纪20年代初1200万桶的日产量，并取代老化油田失去的产能。

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.
