油价暴跌致科斯莫斯取消股息削减开支

据能源世界网3月17日报道，油气生产商科斯莫斯能源公司（Kosmos Energy）周二暂停了股息分配，并表示其计划将今年的资本支出减少30％，因为全球石油巨头都在努力应对原油价格暴跌。

由于疫情以及沙特阿拉伯和俄罗斯向供过于求的市场注入更多的原油而导致的油价暴跌之后，石油和天然气公司都在削减开支。

如今，科斯莫斯的目标是将该年的资本预算从先前的3.25亿-3.75亿美元，降至2.5亿美元以下，并表示支付完2019年股息后暂停股息。

包括全球最大的上市石油公司沙特阿美公司，雪佛龙公司和英国石油公司在内的石油巨头都已经概述了削减开支的计划。

Kosmos Energy scraps dividend, cuts spending>Oil and gas producer Kosmos Energy>Oil and gas companies across the world are slashing spending after a plunge in oil prices caused by the spread of the coronavirus and a push by Saudi Arabia and Russia to flood an over-supplied market.

Kosmos is now targeting to reduce capital budget for the year to under $250 million from prior guided range of $325 million to $375 million, and said it would suspend dividend after the 2019 payout.

Oil giants including the world's largest publicly traded oil company, Saudi Aramco, Chevron Corp and BP have outlined plans to cut spending.
