巴西国家石油将关闭62个海上平台

据4月16日Offshore Energy消息：受疫情和低油价的影响，巴西国家石油公司决定关闭位于坎波斯，塞尔吉培，波蒂瓜尔和塞阿拉盆地的浅水区的62个平台，其员工将会被转移到其他部门。

这些措施是巴西国家石油公司计划于3月26日传达给市场的计划的一部分，也是在一百年来石油行业最严重的危机中保护就业和公司可持续发展的措施。

据巴西国家石油公司称，这些平台不具备以低油价运行的经济条件，平台装置的关闭符合巴西国家石油公司减少产量的计划。

巴西国家石油公司还指出，这些平台中有80％未配备人员，在其他部门工作的员工也不会被解雇，因为所有这些员工都将被转移到其他组织部门。

如果员工有意向，也可以参加巴西国家石油公司最近宣布的自愿遣散计划。

为了应对这一前所未有的危机，巴西国家石油公司还发放了信贷额度，削减和推迟了投资，并减少了运营费用和人员开支。

Petrobras to shut down 62 offshore platforms in Brazil

Brazilian oil and gas major Petrobras has decided to halt operations at 62 platforms located offshore Brazil due to the effects of the coronavirus and the low oil price. Employees will be transferred to other units.

In an update on Wednesday, Petrobras said it would shut down 62 platforms in shallow water fields in the Campos, Sergipe, Potiguar, and Ceará basins.

These measures are part of Petrobras plan communicated to the market on 26 March and is part of a series of actions to preserve jobs and the company’s sustainability in what is the worst crisis in the oil industry in a hundred years.

According to Petrobras, these platforms do not have the economic conditions to operate with low oil prices and are active in sales processes. Also, the shutdown of these units corresponds to Petrobras’ plan to reduce its production.

Petrobras noted that, 80 per cent of these platforms are not manned, and employees who work on other units will not be dismissed because they will all be relocated to other Petrobras organizational units.

In case of interest, workers may join Petrobras’ recently announced Voluntary Severance Programs.

To face this unprecedented crisis that combines an abrupt fall in demand and oil prices, Petrobras also disbursed lines of credit, cut and postponed investments, and reduced operating expenses and personnel expenses.
