據道瓊斯4月17日消息，全球最大的油田服務公司斯倫貝謝將股東股息削減了75%，并正在重組業務、裁員和關閉設施，以應對歷史性的能源危機。

該公司首席執行長Olivier Le Peuch周五表示，斯倫貝謝正準備應對油田活動的急劇下滑，因為他預計支撐油田服務公司的全球石油公司支出今年將下降20%，其中北美資本預算將下降40%。

斯倫貝謝在公布第一季度凈虧損74億美元時披露了這一計劃。該公司將計入85億美元的資產減值稅前支出，幾乎全部為非現金。該公司表示，公司計劃讓員工暫時休假，并減少員工數量，以應對充滿挑戰的環境，但沒有透露具體細節。

斯倫貝謝董事會批準了每股0.125美元的季度現金股息，而去年的季度股息為每股50美分。

Schlumberger to Cut Jobs, Slashes Dividend 75%

Schlumberger Ltd., the world's largest oil-field services company, cut its shareholder dividend 75% and is restructuring businesses, cutting jobs and closing facilities to cope with a historic energy rout.

Chief Executive Olivier Le Peuch said Friday that Schlumberger is bracing for an acute downturn in oil-field activity as he expects spending by global oil companies, which sustains services firms, to fall 20% this year, with North American capital budgets falling 40%.

Schlumberger disclosed its plans while reporting a $7.4 billion net loss in first-quarter earnings. The company is taking an $8.5 billion pretax charge on asset impairments, almost all noncash. It said it planned to furlough workers and reduce head count in response to the challenging environment, but didn't disclose specifics.

Schlumberger's board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share, compared with a quarterly dividend of 50 cents per share last year.
