据道琼斯3月18日消息,康菲石油公司确认,公司将对旗下负责美国本土48州油气开发的部门裁员5%-6%,该部门主要负责从得克萨斯州到北达科他州的页岩油田开发和墨西哥湾海洋油田开发。此次裁员将减少该业务部门200-250人。正在华盛顿积极活动的康菲石油公司董事长兼CEO赖安·兰斯表示,维持美国能源繁荣和避免能源行业更多裁员活动发生的主要方法是取消美国长期存在的原油出口禁令。兰斯在美国商务部会议上表示,将美国石油出口至海外市场将支撑美国石油生产商的需求。

ConocoPhillips to Cut Jobs in Lower 48 Division
ConocoPhillips (COP) will cut 5%-6% of the workforce in its Lower 48 division that develops shale oil fields from Texas to North Dakota and pumps crude offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, the company confirms. The cuts will reduce staff in the business unit by between 200 and 250 people. Chairman and CEO Ryan Lance has been actively making the rounds in Washington DC, saying a key way to sustain the US energy boom and stave off more job cuts in the sector would be to lift America's long-standing ban on crude-oil exports. Shipping American oil to foreign markets would prop up demand for US oil producers, he told a meeting of the US. Chamber of Commerce.
