ConocoPhillips Canada will cut 250 to 300 employees

WARMHUT

ConocoPhillips Canada says it will lay off 250 to 300 employees, mainly from its Calgary head office, in September.

The employees were informed about the looming cuts on Thursday, but details of how they will affect specific parts of the business are still being worked out, company spokesman Rob Evans said in an email.

Evans said Friday the cuts are part of a global staff realignment to match future activity levels, with Canada looking less attractive than some of its other operations.

"We have been transparent with our employees and they were aware that targeted workforce reductions in certain areas of our business may be necessary from time-to-time to align our current organizational capacity with expected future activity levels," he said.

Evans said the company will not be commenting further.

Last September, ConocoPhillips Canada announced a 15 per cent reduction of its workforce — about 400 employees and 100 contractors.

报道说中国的原油在6月进口下降了14%， 估计是小了一百多万桶。中国日消耗原油一千万桶上下， 美国两千万桶。
这两个家伙真正动用航母干了， 整个世界经济都会被割裂、要倒退十年。
这种情况一般不会发生， 所以不军演了， 油价就急剧反弹。
