Saudi Aramco eyes multi-billion-dollar U.S. gas acquisitions: CEO | Reuters:

Saudi Aramco, the world’s top oil producer, is looking to acquire natural gas assets in the United States and is willing to spend “billions of dollars” there as it aims to become a global gas player, the company’s CEO said on Tuesday.

Amin Nasser told Reuters in an interview that his company wants to increase its U.S. investments. It already owns Motiva, the biggest U.S. oil refinery.

“We have agreed to bring an additional $10 billion in the Motiva refining complex,” said the chief executive, attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
