Saudi Arabia: no additional capacity to increase oil production beyond 13 million bpd
Saudi Arabia will not have any additional capacity to increase oil production beyond 13 million barrels per day, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said during his address to the US-Arab summit in Jeddah.
“The kingdom has announced an increase in its production capacity level to 13 million barrels per day, after which the kingdom will not have any additional capacity to increase production,” he said.
The kingdom previously said it was aiming at production capacity of 13 million bpd by 2027.
The crown prince also said that unified efforts were required to support the global economy and that unrealistic policies regarding energy sources would only lead to inflation.
"Adopting unrealistic policies to reduce emissions by excluding main sources of energy will lead in coming years to unprecedented inflation and an increase in energy prices and rising unemployment and a worsening of serious social and security problems," he said.
The summit in Jeddah was attended by US President Joe Biden and leaders from the six Gulf Co-operation Council states, as well as Egypt, Jordan and Iraq. Mr Biden held bilateral talks with Saudi leaders on Friday in Jeddah.
US officials have said Mr Biden would discuss energy security with leaders of Gulf oil producers and hopes to see more action by Opec+ to boost output, but there was unlikely to be any bilateral announcements from the talks.
Definitely crude oil is the pivotal part of our energy source and Some middle-east countries like Saudi Arabia are blessed with this natural resources. At the same time very few countries have the technological ability to increase the production capacity. Though the kingdom stated to increase 13 million bpd a day, perhaps it's not possible really. The data of 2021 stated that 9.9 million bpd was possible to produce. I think it needs to combine each country's business policies and the global oil production policies.
ReplyDeleteAgain what happens when you combine the powers of a pioneering visualization company with a handful of experts specializing in subsea oil and gas exploration and production? You get a company with truly revolutionary technology that addresses challenges found in both the sub sea domain and in the modern workplace. Here I can mention about futureon that was spun out of Xvision in 2014. Since then they have been developing software that helps oil and gas companies control costs, and manage resources better while getting to first oil faster. FutureOn provides energy operators with the tools they need to get to first oil quicker. Their Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform enables rapid data, 3D visualization and real-time collaboration across the processes of design, development, operation and decommissioning of digital offshore subsea fields.
Surely it proves the need of implementing the smart solution for the digital oilfield of future.
