国际巨头的决策将为油气市场提供指引

据9月9日Energy Voice报道，阿伯丁和格兰皮恩安商会将调查疫情对包括收入、招聘、商业乐观情绪以及国内和国际活动等方面的影响，询问石油和天然气公司、承包商和运营商对冠状病毒如何影响该行业的看法。

这项研究还将试图准确描绘出企业受到2019冠状病毒疫情冲击的程度，包括员工休假、裁员和项目取消方面。会议还将重点讨论疫情是如何影响未来商业决策和多样化计划的。

在此之前，油价出现了30年来最剧烈的下跌，天然气价格减半，这些公司刚刚开始从该行业历史上最漫长、最严重的衰退中复苏。

研究和政策经理肖恩·泰勒表示:“冠状肺炎疫情导致需求减少，石油价格近30年来最剧烈的下跌和天然气价格的减半，给这个刚刚开始摆脱历史上最长时间和最严重衰退的行业带来了一些非常严重的问题。了解企业领导者决策过程的驱动因素将为整个行业提供至关重要的情报。不过，苏格兰和英国商会也曾利用之前的调查制定国家能源政策，因此结果肯定会受到严格审查，我们将鼓励所有能源公司作出贡献，并让人们听到他们的声音。”

Oil and gas operators to let their voices be heard

Oil and gas firms, contractors and operators are to be asked for their views on how coronavirus has impacted the sector.

Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce will survey the effect the pandemic has had on a range of topics, including revenue, recruitment and business optimism alongside domestic and international activity.

The study will also try to create an accurate picture of how hard firms have been hit by Covid-19, looking at furloughing of staff, redundancies and the cancellation of projects.

There will also be a focus on how the pandemic has influenced future business decisions and diversification plans.

It follows the most dramatic fall in oil prices in 30 years and the halving of gas prices, hitting firms only just starting to recover from one of “the most prolonged and severe downturns” in the sector’s history.

Shane Taylor, research and policy manager at Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce, said: “The coronavirus, the resulting drop in demand, the most dramatic fall in oil prices in almost 30 years and the halving of gas prices has posed some very serious questions for an industry which was only just beginning to emerge from one of the most prolonged and severe downturns in its history.

“Understanding what is driving the decision-making process for business leaders will provide vital intelligence for the industry as a whole, but previous surveys have also been used by both the Scottish and British Chambers of Commerce to develop a national energy policy so the results are sure to be closely scrutinised and we would encourage all energy firms to contribute and make their voice heard.”
