Saudi Arabian oil giant Aramco on Sunday reported a record annual net profit of $161.1 billion for 2022, up 46% from the year earlier, on higher energy prices, increased volumes sold and improved margins for refined products.

據(jù)CNN報道,，沙特阿拉伯的石油巨頭沙特阿美公司（以下簡稱：沙特阿美）于上周日公布，由于能源價格上漲,、銷量增長和精煉產(chǎn)品利潤率的提高,，該公司2022年的年度凈利潤達到創(chuàng)紀錄的1611 億美元，同比增長 46%,。

The profits follow similar reports in February from international peers BP, Shell, Exxon Mobil and Chevron which have mostly posted record profits for last year.

此前,，沙特阿美的同行英國石油,、殼牌,、埃克森美孚和雪佛龍在今年2月份也發(fā)布了類似的報告,，這些公司大多公布了2022年創(chuàng)紀錄的利潤,。

Oil prices swung wildly in 2022, climbing on geopolitical worries amid the war in Ukraine, then sliding on weaker demand from top importer China and worries of an economic contraction.

2022年，油價在烏克蘭戰(zhàn)爭期間因地緣政治擔憂而出現(xiàn)攀升,，此外,，因最大石油進口國中國的需求疲軟及對經(jīng)濟收縮的擔憂而下滑。

“Given that we anticipate oil and gas will remain essential for the foreseeable future, the risks of underinvestment in our industry are real – including contributing to higher energy prices,” Aramco’s chief executive Amin Nasser said in the results statement.

沙特阿美首席執(zhí)行長阿明·納賽爾在業(yè)績報告中表示,，“鑒于我們預計石油和天然氣在可預見的未來仍將是必不可少的,，行業(yè)投資不足的風險是真實存在的-包括對能源價格的上漲有所貢獻?！?/span>

To address those challenges, the company is not only focused on expanding oil, gas and chemicals production, but also investing in new lower-carbon technologies with potential to achieve additional emission reductions, Nasser said.

納賽爾表示,，為了應對這些挑戰(zhàn)，沙特阿美不僅專注于擴大石油,、天然氣和化學品的生產(chǎn),，還投資于具有實現(xiàn)額外減排潛力的新的低碳技術。

Aramco’s capital expenditure rose 18% to $37.6 billion in 2022 and the company said it expects this year’s spending to be around $45.0 billion to $55.0 billion including external investments.

2022年,，沙特阿美的資本支出增長18%至376億美元,。此外,，該公司還表示，預計2023年的支出將在450億至550億美元左右,，包括外部投資,。

Aramco declared a dividend of $19.5 billion for the fourth quarter, an increase of 4% from the previous quarter.

沙特阿美宣布第四季度派息195億美元，環(huán)比增長4%,。

Its board also recommended to issue bonus shares, with eligible shareholders receiving one share for every 10 shares owned.

沙特阿美的董事會還建議發(fā)行紅股,，合格的股東每持有10股便可獲贈1股。

Free cash flow reached a record of $148.5 billion in 2022, compared to $107.5 billion in 2021.

沙特阿美的自由現(xiàn)金流在2022年達到創(chuàng)紀錄的1485億美元,，而此前的2021年則為1075億美元,。
