季度亏损促使赫斯公司把今年资本预算削减4%

据路透社7月26日休斯敦报道，由于原油价格下跌以及油气产量下降导致了第二季度的亏损超过了预期，美国著名石油生产商赫斯公司在周三（26日）把其今年资本预算削减了4%。

如今计划今年资本支出21.5亿美元的赫斯公司成为了美国今年继阿纳达科石油公司以后的第二个削减资本支出的石油生产公司。阿纳达科石油公司在本周早些时候削减了其今年资本预算。

像其许多同行一样，赫斯公司今年一直在努力适应油价的下跌，油价下跌在制定今年资本预算时没有料到的。

Hess Slashes 2017 Capital Budget After Quarterly Loss

U.S. oil producer Hess Corp slashed its 2017 capital budget by 4 percent on Wednesday after posting a wider-than-expected quarterly loss on low crude prices and a dip in production.

Hess, which now plans to spend $2.15 billion this year, becomes the second major U.S. oil producer to cut its capex after rival Anadarko Petroleum Corp did so earlier this week.

Like many of its peers, Hess is struggling to adapt to the dip in oil prices this year, which was not expected when 2017 capital budgets were crafted.
