据今日油价6月19日报道称，印度马哈拉施特拉邦Devendra Fadnavis周三表示，印度与沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋的国有石油公司合作，在马哈拉施特拉邦确定了一个新的地点，计划在那里建造一座价值440亿美元的巨型炼油厂。

去年6月，沙特阿美公司和阿布扎比国家石油公司（ADNOC）与一个由印度国家石油公司组成的财团签署了框架协议和谅解备忘录，将参与印度西海岸马哈拉施特拉邦的这个大型项目。沙特阿美公司和ADNOC将共同拥有新合资公司RRPCL50％的股份，而另外50％的股份将由印度财团持有。双方同意探讨建立战略合作伙伴关系，共同投资这个耗资440亿美元的大型炼油厂。

通过投资巨大的印度炼油厂，主要欧佩克生产国沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋的国家石油公司将确保其原油在亚洲这个具有战略意义的快速增长的石油市场获得开采权。

India Picks New Site For $44B Aramco-ADNOC Mega Refinery

The Indian state of Maharashtra has identified a new location where India, in partnership with the state oil companies of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, plans to build a giant US$44-billion refinery, the chief minister of Maharashtra state, Devendra Fadnavis, said on Wednesday.

In June last year, Saudi Aramco and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) signed a framework agreement and a memorandum of understanding with a consortium of Indian national oil companies to join the mega project in the Maharashtra state on India’s west coast. Saudi Aramco and ADNOC will jointly own 50 percent of the new joint venture company RRPCL, while the other 50 percent will be held by the Indian consortium. The parties agreed to explore a strategic partnership and co-investment in the development of the US$44 billion mega refinery.

By investing in the giant Indian refinery, the national oil companies of leading OPEC producers Saudi Arabia and the UAE would secure off-take for their crude in a strategic fast-growing oil market in Asia.
