据俄罗斯Sputnik网站1月15日莫斯科报道,为了在油价暴跌以后削减费用,英国石油公司(BP)将解雇300名在北海油田设施上作业的员工。
据媒体报道,英国石油公司解雇北海油田300名员工将每年为公司节约10亿美元。
据悉,英国石油公司是在其他石油公司削减资本支出应对油价下跌以后作出削减北海油田作业人员决定的。
15日,跨国公司英国图洛石油公司曾警告说,该公司可能会削减作业人员。
据媒体报道,去年8月份,荷兰皇家壳牌公司辞退了250名在北海作业的员工,而美国雪佛龙公司在7月份解雇了225名员工。

MOSCOW, January 15 (Sputnik) – The British energy company BP is to announce Thursday that it is going to dismiss 300 employees working at its facilities in the North Sea oil fields in a bid to cut expenses amid falling oil prices, Sky News reported.
Dismissing the 300 employees will save the company $1 billion per year, the newspaper reported.
The news follows cost-cutting measures by other oil companies. On Thursday, multinational company Tullow Oil warned about the possible job cuts.
In August 2014, Shell let go of 250 employees working in the North Sea and Chevron dismissed 225 in July, according to media reports.
