据油气新闻12月3日消息称，美国最大的独立石油生产商康菲石油公司周二表示，将在休斯顿裁员多达500名员工，约占总部员工的五分之一，以使员工配备数量与预期的活动水平相匹配。
由于疫情重创全球能源需求，并压低能源价格，油气生产商今年已将资产价值削减约800亿美元，并裁员数万人。
康菲石油公司今年前九个月亏损19.3亿美元，而去年同期盈利64.7亿美元。周二，该公司股价为39.27美元，今年以来累计下跌了约40%。
10月与Concho交易公布后，行政和石油勘探职员被确定为面临裁员。高管们的目标是到2022年节省5亿美元的成本和资本。
发言人John Roper称："我们已向员工明确表示，我们有必要在某些领域上进行裁员，以使组织能力与未来的活动预期水平保持一致。”
今年初，康菲石油的全球员工约为10400人，Concho约有1450名员工。

U.S. oil producer ConocoPhillips to shed up to 500 workers
ConocoPhillips, the largest U.S. independent oil producer, said Oil and gas producers have cut the value of their assets by about $80 billion and shed tens of thousands of jobs this year as the coronavirus pandemic savaged global energy demand and pushed energy prices down.
ConocoPhillips posted a loss of $1.93 billion through the first nine months of this year, compared with a $6.47 billion profit in the same period last year. Its shares traded at $39.27 Administrative and oil-exploration jobs were identified as facing cuts when the Concho deal was disclosed in October. Executives have targeted $500 million in cost and capital savings through 2022.
“We have been transparent with employees that targeted workforce reductions in certain areas of our business may be necessary from time to time to align organizational capacity with expected future activity levels,” said spokesman John Roper, describing the cuts as among actions.
Conoco’s global staff numbered about 10,400 at the start of the year and Concho had about 1,450 employees.
