雪佛龙计划大规模裁员

中国石化新闻网讯 据今日油价网站5月27日消息 雪佛龙公司计划裁员10%-15%，因为在冠状病毒大流行和供过于求的情况下，原油价格仍然居高不下。

随着石油需求将在未来几个季度因大流行而缓慢反弹，大型石油公司以及服务提供商和小型钻井公司被迫改变方式、削减成本，以维持经营。

虽然油价在过去几周有所反弹，但WTI的年内价格仍下跌了近50%，这对大多数大型石油公司和小型页岩钻探公司来说都难以承受。周三下午，WTI收于32.90美元/桶，当日下跌近4%。

雪佛龙在彭博社发表的一份声明中表示：“这是一个艰难的决定，我们不会轻举妄动。”截至2019年底，雪佛龙雇佣了近5万名员工。

该公司补充称，目前尚不清楚裁员将如何影响每个地区和业务部门。

据雪佛龙网站报道，田吉兹油田是世界上产量最大的超级巨型油田，也是现存最大的单圈闭油藏，田吉兹油田的表面积是巴黎的四倍。

Chevron Plans Massive Workforce Reduction

Chevron Corp has plans to cut between 10 percent and 15 percent of its workforce as crude oil prices remain stubbornly low amid the coronavirus pandemic and oversupply.

With oil demand set for a slow rebound in the coming quarters due to the pandemic, Big Oil, along with service providers and small drillers, have been forced to shift gears to trim the fat—and often then some in order to stay afloat.

While oil prices have rebounded somewhat in the last couple of weeks, WTI is still trading down nearly 50% on the year—an untenable situation for most of Big oil and small shale drillers alike. On Wednesday afternoon, WTI was trading at $32.90—down nearly 4% on the day.

“This is a difficult decision, and we do not make it lightly,” Chevron said in a statement carried by Bloomberg. Chevron employs nearly 50,000 employees as of the end of 2019.

It is unclear how the job cuts will affect each location and business segment, the company added.

Tengiz is the world’s deepest producing supergiant oilfield and the largest single-trap producing reservoir in existence, according to the Chevron website, which boasts that the surface area of the Tengiz Field is four times the size of Paris.
