据世界能源网2019年4月1日利雅得报道，全球著名评级机构惠誉周一表示，沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司(沙特阿美/Saudi Aramco)已遥遥领先于阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)等地区同行以及荷兰皇家壳牌公司、法国道达尔公司和英国石油公司等全球上市石油巨头，成为全球最赚钱的石油生产公司。

惠誉表示：“沙特阿美是全球石油产量最大的公司。在2018年，沙特阿美的液体产量和油气总产量平均每天分别为1160万桶和1360万桶油当量，远远超过了全球和地区综合生产商的上游产量，如阿布扎比国家石油公司、壳牌公司、道达尔公司和英国石油公司。”

惠誉表示，与壳牌公司和道达尔公司等国际同行相比，国有沙特阿美“与天然气及下游业务的整合程度较低，这使其更容易受到油价的影响，尽管生产成本较低、但其下游扩张战略以及收购沙特基础工业公司（Sabic）等因素减轻了这种影响。”

沙特阿美上周表示，该公司将以691亿美元从沙特财富基金手中收购Sabic的70%股权，这是全球化工行业迄今规模最大的交易之一。

惠誉评级机构表示，该机构已把沙特阿美的“独立信用状况评定在AA+。”

Saudi Aramco: World's Biggest Oil Producer

Saudi Aramco was by far the world's biggest oil producer ahead of regional peers like Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and listed oil majors Royal Dutch Shell, Total and BP, ratings agency Fitch said on Monday.

"Saudi Aramco is the largest oil producer globally by volume... In 2018 its liquids production and its total hydrocarbon production averaged 11.6 million and 13.6 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, respectively, well ahead of the upstream output of global and regional integrated producers such as ADNOC, Shell, Total and BP," Fitch said.

Fitch said state-owned Aramco "is less integrated into natural gas and downstream than some of its international peers, such as Shell and Total, which makes it more exposed to oil prices although this is mitigated by low cost of production, its downstream expansion strategy and, the acquisition of SABIC."

Saudi Aramco last week said it would buy a 70 percent stake in Saudi Basic Industries Corp (SABIC) from the kingdom's wealth fund for $69.1 billion in one of the biggest deals in the global chemical industry.

The rating agency said it put Saudi Aramco's "standalone credit profile (at) 'AA+'", "
