马拉松石油公司将削减2017开支预算

据路透社8月2日报道，美国石油生产商马拉松石油公司本周三公告第二季度亏损后表示，其将削减2017年度资本预算。据悉，这一做法基本符合华尔街预期。

由于国际原油价格未达年初制定预算时的水平，马拉松石油公司也加入了削减支出的石油生产商行列，其主要开发项目位于二叠纪盆地、巴肯盆地以及其他美国大型页岩油气田。

尽管如此，马拉松石油公司表示，使用新技术和新工艺有望提升其今年的产量，并且该公司提高了产量预期。

Marathon Oil cuts capital budget after posting quarterly loss

U.S. oil producer Marathon Oil Corp cuts its 2017 capital budget on Wednesday after posting a quarterly loss that fell in line with Wall Street's expectations.

Marathon, which pumps from the Permian, Bakken and other major U.S. shale fields, was the latest in a string of oil producers to trim spending plans as crude prices have yet to hit levels expected when budgets were set earlier this year.

Still, Marathon said its use of new technology and processes should help it pump more this year, and the company raised its forecast for shale production.
