据路透社2月26日伦敦报道，沙特阿美公司首席执行官周二表示，石油行业正面临“认知危机”，一些观察人士认为，随着电动汽车的崛起，石油末日即将来临的观点是不合逻辑的，也没有事实依据。

世界最大原油出口国国家石油公司的首席执行官Amin Nasser在伦敦的一个行业盛会上表示，主要受交通运输业的推动，石油需求预计将大幅增长。

“我们的行业面临着多个利益相关者的认知危机，”他说。“我们传统的充足、可靠和负担得起的供应品质不足以满足当今社会的期望。”

他呼吁加大对油气行业的投资，以满足未来的增长，并表示石油行业必须“反击石油需求峰值等夸大的理论”。

随着全球排放标准收紧，以及对燃油效率更高的汽车和可再生能源的需求增加，许多人预计未来几年石油需求将达到峰值。

Aramco CEO says oil industry facing 'a crisis of perception'

Saudi Aramco’s chief executive said on Tuesday the oil industry is facing “a crisis of perception” and the views of some observers that the end of oil is near with the rise of electric vehicles are illogical and not based on fact.

Amin Nasser, CEO of the national oil company of the world’s top crude-exporting country, told an industry event in London that demand for oil is expected to increase substantially, driven mainly by the transportation sector.

“Our industry faces a crisis of perception with multiple stakeholders,” he said. “Our traditional qualities of ample, reliable and affordable supply are not enough to meet society’s expectations today.”

He called for more investment in the oil and gas sector to meet future growth and said the oil industry must “push back on exaggerated theories like peak oil demand”.

Oil demand is expected by many to peak in coming years as emissions standards around the world tighten and demand grows for more fuel-efficicent vehicles and renewable sources of energy.
