中国石化新闻网讯 据天然气加工&液化天然气休斯敦报道，由于新冠肺炎疫情大流行严重影响能源需求和能源价格，埃克森美孚公司10月29日宣布将在美国裁减大约1900个工作岗位。 埃克森美孚公司曾是美国最大的上市石油公司，但由于石油需求锐减，以及押注新油田和扩张的时机不当，埃克森美孚公司一直在削减成本。埃克森美孚公司承诺今年将削减100亿美元的项目支出，并将运营费用削减15%。 埃克森美孚公司今年上半年亏损近17亿美元，预计周五将再次公布其第3季度亏损情况。 埃克森美孚公司表示，裁员主要来自其位于德克萨斯州休斯敦的办公室，裁员将包括自愿和非自愿裁员。 埃克森美孚公司在一份声明中表示，“新冠肺炎疫情对埃克森美孚公司产品需求的影响升高了正在进行的效率工作的紧迫性。” 通过非自愿计划被分离的员工将获得遣散费和新职介绍服务。 截至2019年底，埃克森美孚公司在全球拥有近7.5万名员工，但该公司一直在按国别对其业务进行评估。10月早些时候，埃克森美孚公司表示将在欧洲裁员1600人。埃克森美孚公司还宣布将在澳大利亚裁员。 在新冠肺炎疫情爆发之前，埃克森美孚公司首席执行官达伦?伍兹推出了一项雄心勃勃的支出计划，以提高石油产量，扭转利润下滑的局面，他押注全球不断壮大的中产阶级将对其产品产生更多需求。 埃克森美孚公司10月28日表示，该公司将继续维持季度股东派息不变。埃克森美孚公司每年为此损失近150亿美元。 10月29日，埃克森美孚公司的股价上涨了2.3%，至每股32.29美元。 荷兰皇家壳牌公司和英国石油公司也计划裁员15%。雪佛龙公司计划裁员10%-15%，这意味着将裁员4500至6750人。作为收购诺布尔能源公司的一部分，雪佛龙公司还将再削减大约570个工作岗位。 李峻 编译自 Gas Processing & LNG 原文如下： Exxon to cut 1,900 U.S. jobs as pandemic hurts demand Exxon Mobil Corp announced it will lay off about 1,900 employees in the United States as the COVID-19 pandemic batters energy demand and prices. Exxon was once the largest U.S. publicly traded company, but has been cutting costs due to a collapse in oil demand and ill-timed bets on new oilfields and expansions. It has promised to shed more than $10 billion this year in project spending and cut operating expenses 15%. The company lost nearly $1.7 billion in the first six months of the year and is expected to post another quarterly loss on Friday. Exxon said the job cuts, part of a global reorganization, will come mainly from its Houston, Texas office and will include voluntary and involuntary cuts. "The impact of COVID-19 on the demand for Exxon Mobil's products has increased the urgency of the ongoing efficiency work," the company said in a statement. Employees who are separated through involuntary programs will receive severance and outplacement services. Exxon had nearly 75,000 global employees at the end of 2019, but has been reviewing its businesses on a country-by-country basis. Earlier this month it said it would cut 1,600 jobs in Europe. It has also announced cuts in Australia. Prior to the pandemic, Chief Executive Darren Woods pursued an ambitious spending plan to boost oil output and turn around sagging profits on a bet that a growing global middle class would demand more of its products. Exxon on Wednesday said it would continue to hold stable its quarterly shareholder dividend payments, which cost it nearly $15 billion per year. Its shares were trading up 2.3% higher at $32.29 on Thursday. Royal Dutch Shell Plc and BP Plc also have outlined up to 15% workforce cuts. Chevron Corp’s planned cuts of 10%-15% would imply a reduction of between 4,500 and 6,750 jobs. It will also cut roughly another 570 positions as part of its acquisition of Noble Energy. |
