西方石油公司進(jìn)一步削減支出

據(jù)3月26日Energy Voice報道，由于當(dāng)前原油價格保持在歷史最低水平，總部位于休斯頓的西方石油公司（Oxy）在第二輪預(yù)算削減后，正在實(shí)施全面減薪措施。

隨著雪佛龍(Chevron)、殼牌(Shell)、道達(dá)爾(Total)等眾多石油公司為應(yīng)對數(shù)十年來的低油價而削減數(shù)十億美元的開支，西方石油公司制定了支出削減計劃。該公司計劃從資本預(yù)算中削減25億美元，從運(yùn)營預(yù)算中削減6億美元。并計劃在鉆井和竣工項目上投入27億至29億美元，較最初的52億至54億美元預(yù)算減少了47%。

該公司首席執(zhí)行官維姬?霍魯布（Vicki Hollub）表示:“我們正在取得實(shí)質(zhì)性進(jìn)展，進(jìn)一步降低成本，，以幫助抵御大宗商品價格走低的環(huán)境和其他影響我們行業(yè)和全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力。”

目前，西德克薩斯中質(zhì)原油(West Texas Intermediate)的交易價格約為每桶23美元，這是自2002年2月以來的最低價格。

Oxy enacts pay cuts amid deeper budget cuts

Houston exploration and production company Occidental Petroleum is enacting across pay cuts after making a second round of budget cuts as crude oil prices remain stuck at record lows.

Occidental plans to cut $2.5 billion from the its capital budget and $600 million from its operating budget. After the cuts, the company plans to spend between $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion on drilling and completion projects, a 47 percent reduction from its original budget of $5.2 billion to $5.4 billion.

“We are making solid progress with additional cost reductions to help withstand the low commodity price environment and other macroeconomic pressures impacting our industry and the global economy,” CEO Vicki Hollub said.

The company enacted the cuts as Chevron, Shell, Total and numerous others in the industry are cutting billions of dollars in response to decades-low oil prices.

West Texas Intermediate crude oil is trading around $23 per barrel, a price that has not been seen since February 2002 .
