挪威Polarcus因油价暴跌收入受限

据路透社3月23日报道，海上油气勘探船运营商挪威Polarcus公司宣布取消两个项目，这将降低下一季度船队的利用率，凸显出油价暴跌对能源服务行业的影响。

Polarcus船队用于采集海底地震数据，能源勘探公司通过这些数据来确定石油和天然气矿床的位置。

该公司表示，亚太地区和西非地区的一个勘测项目已被取消。此前，本月早些时候油价和能源股暴跌，导致能源生产商削减开支，限制了Polarcus等公司的收入。

本月早些时候，Polarcus表示，原定于今年第二季度启动的亚太地区地震数据采集项目已经终止。

根据该公司2月27日发布的全年收益报告，今年第二季度末，该公司船队的预订率达100%，，而2020年全年的预订率仅为65%。
