据道琼斯9月18日消息,英国石油公司(BP)勘探业务负责人表示,虽然原油价格不久或将出现反弹,但对于新的深水海洋井和油砂项目来说,如果不显著地削减成本,那么也不具有成本竞争力。在艾伯塔省Banff 举行的全球业务论坛上,BP勘探业务首席运营官Richard Herbert表示:“新的深水海洋油井和油砂项目将被迫重新平衡成本,才能生存。” Herbert指出BP旗下油砂业务已经陷入停滞,但公司有能力大幅削减成本以恢复油砂产量的增长。

DJ BP Exec: Deepwater, Oil-Sands Not Cost Competitive
BP's head of exploration says crude oil prices are likely to rebound anytime soon and that new deepwater offshore wells and oil-sands projects won't move forward without substantial cost cuts. "They will have to re-base their costs in order to survive," Richard Herbert, BP's Chief Operating Officer for Exploration said at the Global Business Forum in Banff, Alberta. Noting BP's own oil-sands growth has stalled, he expects the company will be able to cut costs sufficiently to resume gains in production.
