石油设备网讯 据今日油价4月9日报道称，加拿大石油和天然气行业今年可能再减少1.25万个就业岗位甚至更多，这将使过去五年的总失业人数达到2014年226,500人的23％。这是加拿大能源安全部门——加拿大石油天然气行业劳务市场信息服务机构（PetroLMI）一份报告的调查结果。
PetroLMI预计今年裁员的原因并不出人意料，包括“大宗商品价格走低，资本支出下降和市场准入的不确定性”。
“由于市场环境的不确定，许多勘探、生产以及油砂公司仅公布了2019年的有限资本和生产指导，”PetroLMI的副总裁Carol Howes在对该报告的调查结果发表评论时表示。
这是一个最新迹象，尽管艾伯塔省政府做出了努力，但加拿大油气行业要复苏还有很长的路要走。去年，艾伯塔省政府强制要求在该省经营的石油公司减产，以遏制油价下跌。

Canada Oil Industry Loses Over 20% Of Workforce Since 2014
Canada’s oil and gas industry could shed another 12,500 and more jobs this year, which would bring the total job losses over the past five years to 23 percent of the 2014 total, which stood at 226,500. These are among the findings of a report by PetroLMI, the labor market information service for Canada’s oil and gas industry, a division of Energy Safety Canada.
The reasons PetroLMI lists for the job losses expected for this year contain few surprises, and include “low commodity prices, a decline in capital spending and uncertainty over market access.”
“Many exploration and production and oil sands companies reported only limited capital and production guidance for 2019 because of the uncertain market conditions,” said PetroLMI’s vice president, Carol Howes, in a comment on the report’s findings.
This is the latest sign that Canada’s oil and gas industry has a long way to go before it recovers despite the efforts of the Alberta government, which last year imposed obligatory production cuts on oil companies operating in the province to arrest the decline in prices.
