沙特阿美收购韩国现代石油17%股份

据油气新闻网站12月17日沙特报道 沙特阿美表示，已通过其主要子公司沙特阿美海外公司（AOC）以12亿美元收购韩国私人炼油公司现代石油17%的股权。

沙特阿美的声明称，在完成股权交易之前，该公司已收到现代重工控股公司的所有必要监管同意和批准。

韩国现代石油公司成立于1964年，其业务组合及其五个子公司包括炼油、原油、石化和加油站网络。

韩国现代石油公司主要设施所在的Daesan炼油厂是一个完全一体化的炼油厂，日处理能力为65万桶。

在战略收购方面，沙特阿美表示，对现代石油公司的投资支持其下游增长战略，即在利润丰厚的综合炼油、化工和营销业务的关键市场扩大全球足迹。

这使得沙特阿美能够安置原油并充分利用其贸易能力。

Saudi Aramco buys key stake in Hyundai Oilbank for $1.2bn

Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) said it has acquired a 17 per cent stake in South Korean private oil refining company Hyundai Oilbank for $1.2 billion through its key subsidiary Aramco Overseas Company (AOC).

The completion of the stake deal follows receipt of all necessary regulatory consents and approvals from Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings, said the statement from Saudi Aramco.

Established in 1964, Hyundai Oilbank's business portfolio and its five subsidiaries includes oil refining, base oil, petrochemicals and a network of gas stations.

The Daesan Complex, where Hyundai Oilbank’s major facilities are located, is a fully integrated refining plant with a processing capacity of 650,000 barrels per day.

On the strategic buy, Saudi Aramco said the investment in Hyundai Oilbank supports its downstream growth strategy of expanding global footprint in key markets in profitable integrated refining, chemicals and marketing businesses.

This enables Saudi Aramco to place crude oil and leverage its trading capabilities
