另外，美國能源信息署報(bào)告稱，上周美國石油日產(chǎn)量驟降至970萬桶，為2018年1月以來的最低水平，而前一周的日產(chǎn)量為1080萬桶，原因是勞拉颶風(fēng)關(guān)閉了墨西哥灣部分地區(qū)的石油生產(chǎn)。

埃克森美孚表示:“我們正在對(duì)每個(gè)國家進(jìn)行評(píng)估，以評(píng)估可能的額外效率，從而調(diào)整我們的業(yè)務(wù)規(guī)模，使其在未來更加強(qiáng)大。”

消息人士7月對(duì)路透表示，由于油價(jià)反彈，且計(jì)劃中的資產(chǎn)出售未能如預(yù)期般實(shí)現(xiàn)，這家石油巨頭一直在準(zhǔn)備大幅支出和裁員，以維持股息。

為了節(jié)省現(xiàn)金，埃克森美孚今年還削減了100億美元的投資支出，并預(yù)計(jì)其在二疊紀(jì)盆地的鉆井平臺(tái)數(shù)量將繼續(xù)下降。

Exxon Mobil Gets Set To Shrink As Oil Price Recovery Stagnates

Exxon Mobil (XOM) confirmed it's looking at job cuts worldwide as oil prices stall while protecting its dividend remains urgent. Exxon stock dipped.

Separately, the Energy Information Administration reported Wednesday that U.S. production last week plunged to 9.7 million barrels per day, the lowest since January 2018, from 10.8 million bpd in the prior week as Hurricane Laura shut in some Gulf of Mexico production.

The oil major, which was just ousted from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, announced voluntary layoffs at its Australian operations and added that further job cuts are under consideration at its operations in other countries.

"We have evaluations underway on a country-by-country basis to assess possible additional efficiencies to right-size our business and make it stronger for the future," Exxon told Reuters.

The oil major has been preparing steep spending and job cuts to preserve its dividend, sources told Reuters in July, as the oil rebound and planned asset sales have failed to materialize as hoped.

During the second quarter earnings conference call later that month, management said it saw the potential for workforce reduction and planned to conclude a review this summer and announce the results in the fall.

To conserve cash, Exxon has also cut investment spending by $10 billion this year and expects its rig counts in the Permian basin to continue to fall.
