石油设备网讯 据路透社3月23日报道，海上油气勘探船运营商挪威Polarcus公司宣布取消两个项目，这将降低下一季度船队的利用率，凸显出油价暴跌对能源服务行业的影响。
Polarcus船队用于采集海底地震数据，能源勘探公司通过这些数据来确定石油和天然气矿床的位置。
该公司表示，亚太地区和西非地区的一个勘测项目已被取消。此前，本月早些时候油价和能源股暴跌，导致能源生产商削减开支，限制了Polarcus等公司的收入。
本月早些时候，Polarcus表示，原定于今年第二季度启动的亚太地区地震数据采集项目已经终止。
根据该公司2月27日发布的全年收益报告，今年第二季度末，该公司船队的预订率达100%，，而2020年全年的预订率仅为65%。

Seismic firm Polarcus' project cancellations highlight oil price slump
Polarcus Ltd (PLCS.OL), which operates ships that search for offshore oil and gas, announced two project cancellations that will reduce its fleet utilization next quarter, highlighting the effects of the oil price slump on the energy services sector.
Polarcus’ ships are used to collect seismic data from below the seabed that energy exploration companies examine to locate oil and gas deposits.
A survey project in the Asia-Pacific region and one in West Africa has been cancelled, the company said. This follows the crash in oil prices and energy stocks earlier this month that caused energy producers to slash expenses, limiting revenues at companies like Polarcus.
Earlier this month, Polarcus said a project to acquire seismic data in the Asia Pacific region which was to start in second quarter this year had been terminated.
The company’s fleet had been 100% booked into late second-quarter this year and 65% booked for full year 2020, according to the company’s full-year earnings reported on Feb. 27.
