斯伦贝谢打算从伦敦证券交易所退市

中国石化新闻网讯 据俄罗斯油气网3月3日休斯敦报道，全球油田服务巨头斯伦贝谢已表示有意从伦敦证券交易所退市。这家总部位于休斯顿的公司宣布，斯伦贝谢打算向英国金融市场行为监管局和伦敦证交所申请取消上市。

斯伦贝谢表示，该公司之所以做出这一决定，是因为其“只有一小部分”交易是在伦敦证交所进行的，理由是行政和持续的法规遵从成本。

斯伦贝谢表示，维持在伦敦证交所上市“对公司没有重大好处”。斯伦贝谢补充称，预计这一决定不会对股东产生负面影响。斯伦贝谢将继续在纽约证券交易所(NYSE)和巴黎泛欧交易所上市。

斯伦贝谢日前公布去年亏损101亿美元，原因是其过去两笔收购的巨额资产减值以及美国和加拿大对水力压裂服务的需求减弱。

斯伦贝谢去年的营收为329亿美元，而前年的营收为328亿美元以及利润为22亿美元。

Schlumberger looks to delist from London Stock Exchange

Neftegaz.RU. The oilfield services giant Schlumberger has stated its intention to delist from the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The Houston-headquartered firm announced that it intends to apply to the UK Financial Conduct Authority and the LSE to request the cancellation of the listing.

Schlumberger said it had taken the decision because “only a small amount” of its trading is conducted on the LSE, citing administrative and ongoing regulatory compliance costs.

It said there is “no significant benefit to the company” in maintaining the listing. It added that it does not expect the decision to negatively affect shareholders. Schlumber will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Paris Euronext.

Schlumberger posted a loss of $10.1 billion in 2019 as a result of hefty write-downs on two past acquisitions and weakening demand for hydraulic fracturing services in the United States and Canada.

The company’s 2019 loss on $32.9 billion in revenue compares with a $2.2 billion profit on $32.8 billion in revenue in 2018.
