據俄羅斯油氣網1月13日消息稱，全球最大的石油公司和最大的石油出口國周三表示，沙特石油巨頭沙特阿美已與波蘭煉油商和燃料零售商PKN Orlen簽署協議，將收購波蘭格但斯克一家日產量21萬桶的煉油廠30%的股份，100%的聯合批發業務，以及與英國石油公司(BP)成立的一家航空燃料營銷合資企業50%的股份。

沙特阿美補充稱，這些收購還需獲得監管機構的批準，包括歐盟執行機構歐盟委員會的批準。

沙特阿美還與PKN Orlen和世界上最大的石化公司之一沙特基礎工業公司(SABIC)簽署了一份諒解備忘錄，以探索在波蘭和中歐和東歐其他地區的合作機會。

多年來，波蘭一直在尋求能源供應多元化，擺脫對俄羅斯的依賴。近年來，波蘭的能源公司已經簽署了各種協議，從中東出口商獲得石油供應，從美國獲得液化天然氣貨物。

彭博情報分析師Salih Yilmaz和Rob Barnett在一份報告中寫道，沙特阿美在波蘭的煉油廠交易將幫助沙特石油巨頭“加強其在這個傳統上由俄羅斯原油主導的地區的地位”。

Saudi Aramco buys stake In refinery In Russia’s backyard

Saudi oil giant Aramco has signed a deal with Polish refiner and fuel retailer PKN Orlen to buy 30 % in a 210,000-bpd refinery in Gdansk, Poland, 100 % in an associated wholesale business, and 50 % in a jet fuel marketing joint venture with BP, the world’s largest oil company and top oil exporter said on Wednesday.

The acquisitions are subject to regulatory approvals, including one from the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, Aramco added.

Aramco has also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with PKN Orlen and SABIC, one of the world’s largest petrochemicals companies, to explore joint opportunities in Poland and elsewhere in Central and Eastern Europe.

Poland has been seeking for years to diversify its energy supplies away from Russia, and Polish energy firms have signed in recent years various deals for oil supply from Middle Eastern exporters and LNG cargoes from the United States.

Saudi Aramco’s refinery deal in Poland will help the Saudi oil giant to ?strengthen its position in a region traditionally dominated by Russian crude,? Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Salih Yilmaz and Rob Barnett wrote in a note.?
