据原油新闻4月26日消息称，知情人士说，沙特阿美正考虑出售其庞大天然气管道网络的部分股权，以帮助释放现金，并吸引更多国际投资者进入该国。
知情人士说，这家国有能源生产商正在就这一可能的举措进行初步讨论，由于信息是保密的，要求不具名。上述知情人士表示，根据交易的结构，任何交易都可能为总部位于达兰的沙特阿美筹集数十亿美元。
在沙特吸引外国投资、实现经济多元化的努力中，沙特阿美走在了前列。本月早些时候，该公司表示，将向EIG Global Energy Partners牵头的财团出售其石油管道部门的股份，将筹资逾120亿美元。
彭博新闻社上周报道，该公司还在对上游业务进行战略评估，可能会向外部投资者介绍其部分油气资产。沙特阿美公司董事长Yasir Al-Rumayyan已开始出售非核心资产的股权，以帮助维持该公司750亿美元的股息，其中大部分流向沙特政府。
沙特阿美的主天然气系统是一个管道网络，将其生产与整个王国的加工场所连接起来。根据沙特阿美的年度报告，该基础设施目前的产能约为96亿立方英尺/天。

Aramco Weighs Sale of Stake in Natural Gas Pipelines
Saudi Aramco is considering the sale of a stake in its vast natural gas pipeline network to help free up cash and draw more international investors to the kingdom, people familiar with the matter said.
The state-owned energy producer is holding preliminary discussions on the potential move, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Any deal could raise billions of dollars for Dhahran-based Aramco depending how a transaction is structured, according to the people.
Aramco is at the forefront of Saudi Arabia’s drive to attract foreign investment and diversify its economy. Earlier this month, it said it would raise more than $12 billion selling a stake in its oil-pipeline unit to a consortium led by EIG Global Energy Partners.
The company is also conducting a strategic review of its upstream business in a move that could see it introduce external investors to some of its oil and gas assets, Bloomberg News reported last week. Aramco Chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan has started selling stakes in non-core assets to help maintain the company’s $75 billion dividend, most of which goes to the Saudi government.
Aramco’s Master Gas System is a network of pipelines connecting its production with processing sites throughout the kingdom. The infrastructure has a current capacity of about 9.6 billion cubic feet per day, according to Aramco’s annual report.
